TRANSMISSION of more than a pint Of
blood from the body of her fiance, E.
L. Hickman, of 1927 Fifth Street,
Fulton.
Last week Miss LaFon's condition

to the hospital. Examination by
surgeons showed that an immediate
operation was necessary, but owing
to her weakened condition it was
feared she could not stand the shock
1t was decided that the TRANSMISSION
of blood from the body of "a healthy
person into her veins was the only
means of building up her weak con-
stitution. Mr.. Hickman, who enjoys
robust health, unhesitatingly offered
to submit to the operation, which was
performed on Saturday by DR.: Shell
ton Horsley. 1t WIS successful In
every way. The blood was permit,
ted to flow from the arteries in Mr.
Hickman's arm into those of Miss
LaFon.
Mr.. Hickman rapidly recovered
from the loss Of blood, and was able
to leave the hospital in short while
The condition of Miss LaFon is sale
to be satisfactory, and her complete
recovery is predicted.

Where Is Garden of Eden ?

Forty miles west of old Bagdad, in the
vast level valley of the historic Eu-
pirates, near Hit, of the Hittites. lies
the traditional Garden of Eden. Such is
the interesting conclusion of Sir William
Willcocks, the famous Egyptian engineer
and Bible student, and many other au-
thorites agree with him.
"Out of Eden came a river which wat
cred garden, and from thence 1t was
parted and became four rivers" And
these four rivers, known in Bible days as
the Plson, Gihon, Hiddekel and Eu-
phates-the ancient "River Of Babylon
have been identified by Sir William.
1t was while studying, surveying and
mapping Chaldea previous to starting
work on the giant irrigation scheme
planned for Mesopotamia, that Willcocks
became CONVINCED that the real Garden
of Eden lay in the region described.
The Garden of Eden lies away over in
Turkish Arabia, too far from the beaten
tourist trail to draw many sightseers
Probably not dozen white travellers see
it in year. To reach Chaldea the safest
and surest route lies through the Suez
over Pharaohs bones in the Red sea
through the straits of el-Mandeb, up
the hot Persian gulf and thence 500 miles
along the winding Tlgris and Euphrates
