SWEET BILL PASSES.
Provides for Consolidation of Soldier
Relief Agencies.
Congress last Saturday passed the
Sweet bill under which government
agencies dealing with former service
men would be consolidated. The measure
now goes to the senate.
The bill passed by the unanimous
k ~-C OOK 4-si A
- 'Vic VI UOU IV V.
The House spent more than a week
considering the bill and adopted a
k few minor amendments but the measH
ure was approved practically as it
gE was reported by the house committee
8| on commerce.
B Provision is made in the bill for
creation of a veterans' bureau in the
W Treasury Department, in which would
~ be placed the war risk insurance
bureau, the Federal board for vocational
education and functions of the
public health service relating to war
veterans.
Fourteen regional officers would be
created for expeditious handling of
Claims OI iorciier scmtc uku iv/i
compensation, hospital and medical
care and vocational training. The di4fcp^?ector
of the new bureau would have
power to determine the extent of au
thority of regional branches to make
final settlement of claims.
Provision is made for establishment
of 140 offices at which war veterans
^ could apply for relief. These would
" replace 137 soldier relief bureaus
maintained by the government all
through the country. The location
of the new offices would be deterI

'hese blood findings were accepte

Is For many years the writer in his
s various works attempted to show the
necessity of applying the electronic
1- theory to biological phenomena. The
ts ultimate constituents of matter are
e electrons, or charges of electricity,
g and radioactivity is dependent on ethg
ereal disturbances by a change in motion
of the electrons. All the cosmic
is forces are comprehended in a single

explosion will vibrate to an impercep -
tible sound. No force, however tremendous.

f As its name suggests, the "oscillophore"
is an apparatus for carrying
i- vibrations of radioactive energy. It
was originally designed for the differentiation
of radioactive energies
i- from the blood of different diseases,
il and is still employed almost exclusivee
ly for this purpose,
v There are six suspended capsules
it on either side of a central capsule,
d This central capsule is delicately susn
pended and is conconstructed on the
principle of a condenser, and if a specimen
of blood is placed on a condens>
ing electrode, its radioactive energy is
e condensed in the capsule,
e A gentle swing is communicated to
n the latter and maintained by the ac>
tion of a metronome. Now, if the
h blood of a like vibratory rate is plac1
ed at another condensing electrode,
1- the movement of the central capsule
s is arrested?as a rule, within 20 sech
onds?for about a second, and its ost
dilations are renewed, to be again ara
rested at half-minute intervals.
' It has been found after thousands
'* of examinations that only blood of a
like vibratory rate will thus arrest the
a movement of the capsule.
