He was the discoverer of adrenalin, the conqueror of operative shock, the first to operate locally for goitre and the first to attempt blood transfusions. Synthetic Cell Studied However, it was his long research into man's intelligence, personality and energy which climaxed his career.

After thousands of miles of travel and the examination of thou-: sands of animals, he evolved the theory that, in all but man and the higher apes, the size of the brain was related directly to the body's metabolism, or its burning of food as fuel. In civilized man, he concluded, the "thinking brain" is 780 per cent greater than necessary to execute basic metabolism and the excessive demands by the human brain upon the energy organs of the body may be responsible for such "energy diseases" as heart trouble, goitre and mental ills.

It was the first time in history that a County Tax Board has made due process of appeals and adjustments, Mr. Rae believed. The total in 1942, the last Inter- assessments for purposes of both triennial, on the "outside-the-city" real estate was $821,362,200.

The City figures, also, are used for. Pittsburgh's school taxes. C. Slippy, a municipal tax accountant, recently calculated that Pittsburgh real estate carries a heavier tax load than any other large city in the United States. He said 87 per cent cf the cost of operating the city government comes from the levies on lands and buildings.

The "combined" Board was created, effective last January, by the removal of goitre and first attempted blood transfusions. Narrowly Escaped Death He served in the medical corps Jn the Spanish-American War and World War I. It was in France, as commander of the country's first medical contingent to arrive on the fighting front, that his experiments with men wounded by explosions caused the Allies to alter their method of trench construction. He narrowly escaped death during his long career several times. On April 3, 1941, he was pinned with 16 other passengers in a transport plane that was pancaked in a Florida swamp.

For several hours he directed rescue efforts and then became delirious from the effects of a fractured rib and bruised chest. He remained in a serious condition in a Florida hospital for several days. He escaped when an X-ray film explosion at the Cleveland Clinic generated poison gas and killed 130 persons in 1929. He took an active part in the rescue work, putting to use once again the experience gained in fighting poison gas in France. Received Many Honors He was born in Chili, on Nov.

11, 1864, and received his preliminary education at Ohio Northern University. He was awarded his medical degree at Wooster University in 1887. Later he studied in Vienna, London and Paris and served as a professor of surgery at Wooster until 1911. Honors bestowed upon him Included the American Medal for Service to Humanity in 1914, the Cleveland Medal for Public Service in 1931 and the American Congress of Physical Therapy distinguished service gold key in 1940. He was a member and officer of many medical organizations.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Grace McBride Crile, whom he married in 1900, and four children. They are Dr. George W. Crile, who is now reported serving with a medical unit in the Pacific war theater; Mrs.
