FIRE WRITES A HEART'S RECORD

BY H.G. HUNTING


A human heart, writing its own record with an actual finger of
flame, is the startling spectacle that has recently been witnessed
by scientists. It sounds fanciful, doesn't it? But it is literally a
fact that the automatic recording of the heart's action by means of
tracings from the point of a tiny blaze appears to have been made a
practicable method of determining the condition of the heart, more
reliable than any other test that can be applied.

TAKING HOSPITALS TO THE EMERGENCY By F.W. COBURN

Taking the hospital to the emergency instead of the emergency to the
hospital is the underlying idea of the Bay State's newest medical
unit--one which was installed in three hours on the top of Corey
Hill, and which in much less than half that time may tomorrow or the
next day be en route post haste for Peru, Plymouth, or
Pawtucketville.
