MAJ. RORERG MAKES NAME FOR SELF Maj. O. T. Roberg. brother of Ir. Roberg, prominent Portland physician and health authority, and Philin Ru berg, of Hood River, has been making a narnt' for himself at the Port Sam Housto.i Army Hospital. According to word just receive I by Wju. Hamann, a friend of Maj. Roberg, the latter has jiiMt left for Chicago for a visit w ith his family, lie has been transferred to For t Sheridan. Mr. Hamann has received a clip ping trom a San Antonio, Jex., paper in high praise of Maj. Roberg. The article in part follows: 'Maj. Roberg is one of a small group t physicians who, under gov eminent direction, have complete Iv revolutionized the treatment of leri- nheral nerve injuries, a common result f battle wounds, and the result has been that thousands of American boys have been prevented from losing ttie use of important members of their bodies. "The most important of their dis coveries were made in experimental surgical work conducted in the labora tory of Prof. G. C. liuber at Ann Ar bur, Mich., where Maj. Roberg worked for four months after he entered gov ernment service about a year ago. Among the developments of his ex lerinients was the fact that nerves from a young calf or a dog may be aftel in the human system to till a gap, even in one ot the important mo tor nerves, controlling the llexibility of a member, and that these animal nerves may be kept in cold storage or nreserved with chemicals for several weeks or more, and then be successful ly used in a human body. It was also found that to till a gap in a motor nerve, a section of a sensory nerve, not important in controlling motion, lOiild be taken from another part of the body and used in restoring; action and feeling in the injured member. Maj. Roberg ha not had to resort to the u-e of animal nerves in many of his oi.tratioi.s at Fort Sam Houston. "In civil life Maj. Roberg is chief surgeon at the Swedish Covenant Hos- nit il in Chicago. He is a graduate of Rush Me, lical College." PNEUMONIA FATAL TO MRS. JOHNSON Mrs. Una Johnson, aged 04, died Saturday morning.
