13 Persons Held After Night Raids Sheriff Charges Disorderly Conduct Volume 244 60th Year Number 57 Published Every Morning Dope Roundup Nets Big Haul A New Mexican Invents New 'Lung' Much Lighter Than Present Respirators A light-weight "iron lung" which covers only a portion of the body, invented by a Roswell resident, is being demonstrated in San Francisco. The inventor is Dr. F. H. Terhaar of Roswell.

The "lung" is of aluminum and fits snugly over the chest and back, leaving the rest of the body free. It is attached by a hose to a carrying case housing the bellows-like breathing aparatus. Dr. Terhaar says it will do the work of the large respirators, which cover the entire body, and now are used in paralysis and other respiratory cases. The new device does not interfere with other treatments or nursing care, according to Dr.

Terharr, and may be transported easily. It may be plugged into a light socket or converted to use with a storage battery. Dr. Terhaar at present is visiting his brother-in-law, Dr. Normal Lussier, in San Francisco.
