PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY Barcroft ITells Of Lung Origin In First Talk British Professor Employs Movies In Describing Foetal Life The origin of one of mammalian life's most distinctive characteristics, the respiratory movement, was traced yesterday by Sir Joseph Barcroft, professor of physiology in Cambridge University, in the semester's first University lecture. Using motion pictures of the foetal development of sheep, Sir Joseph ex- hibited the various stages by which the passive nature of the foetus gives way, first, to unorganized disturb- ances, and then, to more specialized movements analagous to respiration. At first, Sir Joseph noted, the body movements are of the extensor type, and the effect of an external shock is to cause the head of the fotus to jerk outwards. Later the typical movement is a fiexationhand prod- ding the foetus into action results in a downward and inward movement. Likewise, shortly after this stage is reached, pulsations of the diaphragm sector of the foetus begin to appear in response to external stimuli. How- ever, these pulsations are not of con- tinuous duration, Gradually the extent to which these pulsations persist is prolonged, and the foetus is possessed of a con- tinual movement which resembles the respiratory movement, Sir Joseph continued. Also, although no oxygen is taken in through the head, these respiratory movements exhibit the same speeding up after shock which is characteristic of normal breathing, he further pointed out. 190 State High Teams To Join Debate Contest A record enrollment of 190 high schools in the state-wide contests sponsbred by the Michigan High School Forensic Association and the University Extension Division was predicted today by William P. Hal- stead, manager of the association. The present enrollment marks an increase of 15 'over last year and even more enrollments are expected, Dr. Halstead said. The debates for which the schools are entered will be conducted in two series, with the first debate of a pre- liminary series on Nov. 27. Following the preliminaries, an elimination series will be conducted with the qualifying schools in the preliminar- ies participating. The elimination tilts will end April 30 with the twentieth annual State Championship Debate held in Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, between the two remaining schools. Gold watches will be presented to each contestant, in this debate. Much interest has been aroused, Dr. Halstead said, in the question chosen for all Association debates this season. It concerns the govern- ment ownership and operation of all electrical utilities. Material on the subject is being sent to all participat- ing schools through the courtesy of the library extension service of the University, it was explained. Sixty Per Cent Rise t In Forestry Shown Enrollment in the School of For- estry and Conservation has increased 60 per cent this year, according to' an announcement by acting Dean D. M. Matthews of the forestry school. This year's increase in the num- ber of students majoring in forestry required ; the addition of second sec- tions in eight classes, the first time in its history that the forestry school has had two sections in any class, it was explained. Dean Matthews esti- mated the number of students plan- ning to take up forestry to be about 30 in the sophomore class and be- tween 25 and 35 in the freshman class.

Physiotherapy Pool At Hospital Is Proving Hope For Crippled By JAY SPADER The new physiotherapy swimming l pool at the University of Michigan Hospital, with other therapeuticl equipment recently added to the hos- pital's equipment, has already given mhany victims of infantile paralysis hope for restoration of the use of+ their crippled limbs, Dr. Harley A. Haines, medical director of the hos- pital, explained. Installed at the hospital through a joint effort of the Horace Rackham Foundation and the WPA, the pool. is as modern and completely equipped as the one in the Warm Springs, Ga.,+ infirmary founded by President Roosevelt, it was explained. s "The object of the water treat- ment is to get the victim's muscles into a condition so good that if the nerves respond to treatment the1 stricken limbs will have the physical strength to perform the normal func- tions," Dr. Haines said. Part of the pool equipment is an overhead, chain-suspended stretcher large enough to accommodate as many as seven children simultane- ously. After the children have been removed from their beds and placed on the stretcher, it is lowered into the invigorating water in the pool. It is this treated water which permits the children to exercise their limbs freely. Additional equipment installed by the Rackham Foundation and the WPA includes -a large tub for victhims suffering from infectious skin dis- eases, a special tub for light therapy treatments and other facilities. All treatments and exercises are pre- scribed by orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Haines said. Construction of the new pool in- volved an intricate building problem Making use of a store room, WPA workmen removed partitions, built concrete foundations and lowered a pool from the floor above to its new base, at a federal cost of $8,079. The Rackham Foundation contrib- uted more than $16,000 towards the purchase of equipment. For a Modern's "best" Habit these REGULATION s of gentuine hand finished Veal Calf... 49q5 >.?
