TRANSFER OF BLOOD.
WIFE'S LIFE is SAVED BY NEW
OPERATION.
Husbands Heart Pumps Blood from
His Arteries Into Hers-Ice Goes
Out of Straits of Iackfnac at
Very Early Date.

Dying from anamia. the life of Mrs.
Peter Anderson of Philadelphia has been
saved by a remarkable surgical operation,
in which her husbands blood was pumped
direct from his arteries into hers. The
woman, who was in a state of coma at
the time, is now on the road to recovery,
and her husband, though weak from the
loss of blood, will be restored to his nor
NAL condition. Mrs. Anderson, who is 50
years old, had been suffering from ex-
treme anamia for several years. Pale and
weak she seemed almost bloodless. Ten
days ago the disease took a turn for the
worst. and her attending physician, DR..
Reisman, had her moved to the Polytechnic
The surgeons gave her heart stimulants,
but in vain. Then DIR. Reisman thought
of the experiments of DIR. Dorrance in
blood transfer" DIR. DOrrance was sum-
moned. He had experimental with ami
mails with success, but never on human
beings. Anderson and his wife were plac-
ed on the operating table together. The
man was put under an an@sthetic. An
artery in his left arm was punctured, and
through tube blood was pumped into
an artery in his wife's arm. She rallied
at once and rapidly gained in strength.
After two quarts of Anderson's blood had
flowed into his wife's arteries the tube
was removed and the wounds of both pa
tients dressed. Anderson wept with JOY
when he came from under the influence
of the ether and saw his wife restored to
consciousness and strength.

to slow deliveries of goods, congestion of

heavily increased volume of past trade.

the future before extensive commitments

Before dying Douglas confessed that

arrested. He was finally convicted as
accessory after the crime and was SEN

Marvin Case Likely to Be Parallel
to Charley Ross kidnapping.

Marvin Case Likely to Be Parallel
to Charley Ross kidnapping.
As the dismal days come and go the
seemingly impenetrable mystery in the
disappearance of little Horace Marvin
from Dover, Del, grows deeper. And
the army of astute detectives on the
case, several of them masters of crime
and hidden circumstance, admit that
they are utterly batfled. 1t is an aston
ishing fact that these detectives, to-
gether with the police machinery of all
the principal cities in the United States,
the famed Pinkerton Detective Agency,
and a host of amateur sleuths, have
failed to develop one single distinct
clew to the missing boys whereabouts
since the search was begun on March 4.
What did happen to little Horace
Marvin when he passed from the eyes
Of his now Borrowing father for the last
time? 1t is a question that may never
be answered. And from present indi-
cations the case will 90 down as rival
ing all other KIDNAPPING mysteries in
the history of the country.
Charles Brewster Ross, whose case is
a classic in criminal annals, was ex-
cctly the same age as the Marvin boy
when he disappeared from the home of
his father, Christian Ross, Washington
lane, Germantown, Pa, July !, 1874.
He is now generally believed to have
been stolen from his home, although
kidnapping was not at first suspected.
Ross reported the loss of the child to
the Philadelphia police. He had hopes
of tie safe return of Charley up to July
6. Then he received a letter demand
ing $4,000, conditional on the safe re-
turn of the boy. The police set out to
capture the kidnapers. From all parts
of the country boys who looked like
Charley Ross we're reported. One after
another they were shown to be other
children.
On Dec. Il, the same year, the first
real clews were found. That night two

States.
The capture of the capital of Hon

with the recent defeat of the forces of
Honduras and Salvador at Choluteca
and the flight of President Bonilla of
Honduras. it is thought, practically
puts an end to the war.

improperly nourished. At the same time
he asked the board to supply eyeglasses,
free of cost, to children of needy parents,
who may be suffering from imperfect Wis

found 1928 children with defective eyes
in the schools last year.
Through the energetic efforts of Nine.
Brisson, a university for women has been
opened at Paris, in which a course in
housekeeping is to hold the place of honor
in the curriculum. There will be other
courses in dressmaking, millinery, short
hand, hygiene, morality, history and lit
erature. The idea is to attend to the
practical matters of life first, but not to
neglect the ornamental.
Although President Eliot of Harvard
refused to make any reply to the speech
of President Roosevelt in defense of foot
ball and other rough sports, he has giySn
out a statement saying that no one had
proposed to stop intercollegiate athletics
at Harvard. Last year they said they
would stop it or change it. Football had
been changed and it would be played next
fall. President Eliot thought his position
on this subject was not essentially diff
ferent from that of President Roosevelt.
T5-s direct issue with President
Roosevelt in his recent 'molly-coddle"
address at Harvard in defense of all
rough college sports, the annual report
of Harvards head, DIR. Charles w. Eliot,
takes the radical stand that football is no
game for gentlemen to play or for gentle
men to watch; that is, an undesirable
one President Eliot admits that under
great pressure of public opinion last year
the game was much improved, but says
the Harvard players suffered about the
same kind of injuries as before. He in
sists that no game is fit for college uses
"in which recklessn ass in causing or suf-
fering serious bodily injuries promotes
efficiency. and so is taught and held up
for admiration. He finds the same sort
of recklessness in hockey and basket ball,
and thinks that intercollegiate contests
should be limited to two a year in each
sport He believes it high time that the
teaching profession unite ito protest
against the present exaggeration of ath-
letic sports during the whole period of
education" He deplores the waste of
money and says that pumped cheering
during good and bad play has no coun-
terpart in the contests of real life and
is weak hysterical and Ineffective" on
the part of the spectators.
At a recent conference the educational
authorities of North Dakota adopted a

CHILD AIDS FATHER TO DIE.
Cnconsciously Assists Paralytfc te
End His Life with Gas.

Theodore Schmidt, who had been for
two years a helpless invalid in his home
at SS1 East 13Sth street, the Bronx, New
York, wanted to end his life. He could
not do so unaided because of the total
paralysis of his muscles, so he called to
his aid his 6-year-old daughter, Violet.
While Mrs. Schmidt was away he asked
her to go to the kitchen and there she
would find a piece of rubber gas tube,
such as is used to supply gas to small
gas stoves. That and a piece of string
she was to bring into the sick mans room.
Violet found the tube and the string. Then
her father directed her how to fit one
end of the tube over the gas jet above his
head, and there tie it securely. He had
her place the other end of the tube in
his mouth and bind it closely there with
a towel. LAS soon as you have done that
you turn on the gas and then run and
play" the invalid had said. Mrs. Schmidt
found her husband dead when she re-

stop. Gifts to Railroads.

The last official act of Postmaster Cen
eral Cortelyou, before he went to take UP
his new duties as Secretary of the Treas
ury, was to abolish the system by which
the railroads have profted 100000 a
year, namely, by adopting the reformed
system of weighing the mails, which had
been unsuccessfully advocated in Con-
gress. Under this plan the actual num-
Der of days the mails are carried will be
used as the divisor in determining the
average weight carried in day. This
was something of a shock to the railroad
lobbyists who had labored so hard to de-
feat the same measure before Congress,
and there is some talk of resisting the or
der in the courts.

The result of a series of endurance
tests conducted by Prof. Irving Fisher
OF Yale was announced by him Wednes-
day. Forty-nine persons were examined,
including students, physicians, nurses and
instructors, and the tests were such as
holding out the arms as long as possible,
deep knee bending and leg raising with
subject lying on his back. Prof. Fisher
says that the nonfesh eaters have great
er endurance than those accustomed to
the ordinary American diet.
