WOODENHEAD, Mass.-If all the wood used in the United States in one year were made into planks twenty feet wide and two feet thick, it would form a boardwalk long enough to reach the moon, according to lumber experts. S. Reardon to study breathing patterns of 90 premature infants when the oxygen content of the air is controlled. The plethysmo- graph was developed at Univer- sity Hospital expressly for this research. DR. GRAHAM, resident in ped- iatrics and communicable diseases at University Hospital, and Dr. Reardon, instructor in pediatrics, explain that the object of the study is to find out why premature babies breathe irrgularly. The re- search has shown that the cause of this irregular breathing is that oxygen is not reaching the tissue of the brain center which controls respiration. Previous studies by Dr. James L. Wilson, University professor of pediatrics and communicable diseases, have shown that when the oxygen content of the at- mosphre was increased above its normal 20 percent, breathing became more regular for pre- mature infants. These studies have also shown that premature babies differ from normal infants in having lower temperatures, lower blood sugar, different energy requirements and lower carbon dioxide output. They may also have undeveloped liver and kidney organs, gelatin- ous-like skin tissues, undeveloped blood vessels in the brain tissues, and undeveloped fingernails. The Graham-Reardon studies aim at discovering the causes of these differences and finding ways of overcoming them.

Unsold books may be claimed from Oct. 3-6 while checks for all books sold will be mailed out within two weeks after the Ex- change closes next Friday. A 15 per cent fee is charged to cover overhead. Pointing out that students can usually buy Exchange books from one to two dollars cheaper than in most local bookstores, Exchange manager Dick Brown, '50BAd., said, "We feel that the Student Book Exchange not only is bene- ficial to students wishing to sell their used textbooks, but also of- fers a splendid opportunity for students to save money in buying expensive books." Although hampered by their in- ability to find a more central lo- cation for the Exchange, Brown feels that they will do an even greater volume of business this year thanthe record of nearly $5,- 000 in sales last semester.
