Rubber Suit For 'Iron Lung Man'

New York, Dec. 1.

Frederick B. Snite, millionaire's son, who has lived in an "iron lung" for two years, hopes in a few days to be transferred to a light-weight sponge-rubber "lung." In this he will be able to move his arms, legs, and neck, which he has not done since he was stricken with infantile paralysis while in China on a world tour. He travelled in the "iron lung" half-way across the world to his home in Florida, has maintained a cheerful interest in everything around him, and has been visited regularly by the girl whom he hopes to marry.

Lately, however, his medical attendants noticed that he was becoming depressed because of his inability to move. They hope to see an improvement when he moves into his new "lung."
