KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 27.-With
a strong, steady wind from the south

the best balloon gas that has ever
been supplied for such events, nine
big bags will leave the earth at 5
o'clock this afternoon in the elimina
ton race to select three balloons to
represent America in the international
races to be held in Germany October
5. There will be clouds and perhaps
few insignificant thunder showers
hanging around this afternoon, says
the United States Weather Bureau.
THE auspices as | gather them,
predicts Mr.. Conner. the weather man,
indicate that the balloonists will be
Greenland. AS near as We are able
to determine now the trip will be
without unpleasant atmospheric con-
ditions that characterized the last
two races from Kansas City"
The Kansas City III is to be the
honored balloon in the race. 1t will
carry DR.. Milo E. Hartman and his
bride, now Miss Violet Davis, on their
honeymoon. The band will play a
wedding march and the couple will
be married just before stepping into
the basket of the balloon.
At 4:30 o'clock the Kansas City III,
which is non-contestant pilot bal
loon, will leave the ground. After it
is well out of sight the other balloons
will be made ready. At 5 p. m, the

Ia TOILETTE OUT
AGAINST COLONEL
Wisconsin Progressive De-
clares Roosevelt Is Re-
dictionary.
(National News Association

MADISON, Wis, July 27.-In a
signed editorial in La Follette's week
ly, the Wisconsin senator attacks
Theodore Roosevelt as a one time ally
of reactionaries and urges progressive
Republicans to stay within the ranks
Of their own party. The editorial says:
What Is known as the progressive
movement in American politics origi-
mated within the Republican party
while special interests have been in
creasing their hold upon the admins
trative side of the government at
Washington progressive Republicans
In many staunch Republican states
have wrested the control of govern
ment from these interests.
THE contest in many of these states
was severe and protracted. Defeat was
encountered again and again. While
Roosevelt was president he offered no
encouragement to the progressive Re-
publicans who were struggling with
the old machine bosses to elect direct
primaries and other progressive stat
utes.
His influence was openly on the
side of the reactionaries.
His appointees were the most &C
tive agents of the opposition.
I'm Wisconsin federal officeholders
were lobby agents for the corpora
tons and spent their time almost
wholly at the state capital during leg
islative sessions.
Until little more than one year ago
Roosevelt had not even expressed him.
self as friendly to what had become
while he was in Africa-so widely
known as the Progressive Republican
movement"
La Toilette then referred to the
Roosevelt campaign for presidential
nomination. The convention, he said,
is not the party. The party should not
he says, be blamed for convention in
trigues or corruption.
He commended the progressive
movement in the Democratic party
mentioning Bryan by name.
The editorial then continues: II re-
peat that the progressive movement
began within the Republican party.
And upon this fact in recent poll
tical history l appeal to progressive
Republicans everywhere to maintain
their organizations within the Re-
publican party. To maintain such or
ganization blind allegiance to every
party nomination and to every party
declaration is not essential

For nearly half an hour he clung

when he died. didn't die all over. be-
cause dogs don't die that way. DIR.
Carrel says so.
DR.. Carrel, in the course OF his lee
ture at the American Museum of Ma
tural History, told his audience that
when an animal dies he doesn't all die
az once. The nervous system, DR.. Car
rel explained, becomes dead immedi-
ately when life. in common under
standing, is extinct. but the process of
death and dissolution among the rest
of the bodily tissues is very slow.
He devoted his lecture to a descrip-
ton of his own experiments in the
way of transplanting living tissues
from one animal to another. the work
that won him the Nobel prize. He ex-
planned first his method of suturing
blood vessels, which has enabled him
TO splice arteries and veins. replace a
portion of a wounded artery with a
section of vein, and he showed pictures
of dogs at play several months after
undergoing the operation.
DR.. Carrel also displayed pictures Of
dogs and cats frisking around with
some other animals kidneys inside
them.
Another interesting picture showed
the leg of yellow dog which had been
transferred to the body of a white one.
