One of those distressing accidents
that happen often which mains a per-
son for life happened to little Alice
Shueman daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Schueman of Altamont, last Fri
day afternoon. Alice is about five
years of age and had been sent into
the pasture to drive the horses to the
barn. She got too close to a vicious
horse and it made a grab at her and
clipped off her right ear close to her
head. DR.. Richards was called from
this place to treat the injured girl, but
the horse either swallowed the ear or
it was lost on the prairie, and nothing
could be done but to care for the
wounds and see that it healed properly.
Little Alice is a smart attractive lttle
girl and this marring of her features
will always be a source of great an
~noyance to her during her lifetime

NEARBY NOTES OF INTEREST

Another libel suit has come and
gone. The cost to the county was
again heavy, and again a little juds-
ment of 81 was returned. We wonder
how long the patient taxpayer is 60
ing TO stand for suits of this kind? The
law of libel ought 10 be so amended
as TO cause just as much risk to the
man who brings the suit as TO the man
against whom it is brought. Were
this done, actions for libel would be
limited to worthy cases.-Argus.

RESTORES WOMAN TO LIFE
Surgeon Manipulates Patients Heart
Until the Lungs Resume
Their Work

Los Angeles, Dec. A modern won
der of medical science was consummat-
ed yesterday afternoon at the Good
Samaritan Hospital, according to the
statements of three physicians who say
that Mrs. Walter W. Akers, of 1922
Gramerey place, wife of the California
manager of the international Fruit
Products Company, was restored to
life after having been dead for ten
minutes.
"The raising was not from the
oretical death, or state of coma, as it
is ordinarily understood said DIR. p.
NJ. Williams, who, with DR.. C. S.
Hutchinson, were the attending sur
geons.
"Mrs. Akers was actually dead. Her
heart had stopped its functioning;
there was no pulse; the ages were fixed
in the glare which spells for every
medical man the eternal sleep; there
was no response to the usual tests. The
patient was dead.
"The end came during the progress
of major operation for laparotomy.
The operation was progressing in due
course when our attention was direct
ed by DR.. w. S. Holman, who was ad-
ministering the anaesthetic, to the
woman's complete eollapse-to her
death in fact.'
Mr.. Akers, who was awaiting the re-
suit of the operation in the adjoining
room was summoned. The doctors went
to work. Nurses began the administra-
tion of oxygen. DR.. Williams vigorously
applied himself to producing artificial
respiration.
DR.. Hutchinson then inserted his
hand through the incision made in the
abdominal wall until the diaphragm
was reached. One finger grasped the top
of the heart; his thumb was at the
bottom. A slight compression, another
and another followed, until the ply
sician' 8 hand was contracting and di-
lating the organ in stimulation of the
heart throbs. The lungs reluctantly
again took up their burden
After that the patient rallied with
marvellous rapidity, it is said, and
in a few minutes was so far recovered
oh"t IL was heceSsdiy 10 administer new
anaesthetie in order that the original
operation might be concluded. The
operation lasted more than two hours.
DR.. Hutchinson said last evening
tkat the patient was in normal and
satisfactory condition, with every
chance in her favor for complete re-
covery.
A complete report of the case is to
be made to medical authorities.

FIVE YEAR old Girl HAD
A VERY NARROW ESCAPE
lay Longsnecker Missed Death on
Front Street by Few Inches Last
Evening While Crossing That Thor
oughfare to Join Sister

A crowd of people gathered in front
of the Palace theatre last evening wit
messed very narrow escape of child
from being run down By an automobile.
Fay Longanecker, aged about years,
and her small sister, Thelma, aged
ABOUT years, were among the crowd.
An older member of the family directed
the elder sister to cross the street to
make slight purchase at a novelty
store.
Fay started on her errand and when
about halfway across the thoroughfare
little Thelma trotted after her, unno-
ticed by her older sister. Coming up
the street was an automobile, which the
child did not notice. The driver of
the machine, however, pressed on the
emergency brakes and soon had the car
stopped. The little girl was just
missed, her clothes being soiled where
the right front tire brushed them.
Pauline Ney, aged about years,
had similar escape Tuesday evening
when she was returning from the Eel
ton school building. As she was in
the act of crossing Second street at the
intersection of Walnut street she collid-
ed with passing auto, but escaped
serious injury by narrow margin.

SQUARE OF THE CIRCLE
For All Ordinary Mechanical Work the
Formula 3.1l16 Is Used

The ratio of the length of the cir
cumference of a circle to its diameter.
sought during many thousands of wears,
has never been discovered. 1t has been
known for decades of centuries, away
back to the Aryans and to the Egvps
tlans-or rather to the non-Egyptian
pyramid of Suphis builders-'that the
circumference of a circle is three and
a fraction times longer than its diam
eter.
This fraction has been souht by
comPuters in every great nation from
prehistoric times. WrftIhin modern times
It has been computed with accuracy and
by enormous labor in Germany out to
$50 decimal places with no end-there
Is always a remainder to be reckoned.
But all of this work was useless, he
cause high mathematics has shown that
the string of figures viii never come to
an end in any finite number of figures.
And as these men cannot think of in
hnTty they made tine symbol of in
hn1ty and stopped wasting time many
years ago.
The circumference of rtircle is g.
14159265 plus longer than its dame
ter. But in all ordinary mechanics, as
in factories, machine shops and the
like, the number 3.1416 is used. Thus
the difference between lengths of cir
conferences of locomotive drivewheels
or any other made by using one or the
other of these values could not be de-
tected mechanically without micromet-
ric measurement-Ne York 'Ameri-
can.

Scene at Calvary Presented
The great effort of the evangelist s
sermon was an attempt to have his au-
dience visualize the crucifxion of Je-
sus Christ.
in his impersonation of Jesus, DR..
Slough staggered across the Platform
with the weight of an imaginary cross
bending his shoulders, then he gasped,
tottered, fell to his knees and finally
with "a loud groan lay full length on
the stones of the streets. He raised
himself partially, only to sink back
again with cry, under the heavy
cross beam supposed to be pinning him
down.
"My God," cried the evangelist,
twill people ever realize what Thou
didst suffer on Calvary7"
He followed that scene Immediately
with representation of the mailing
of the hands and feet of Jesus to the
instrument of torture, pretending to
WELD a heavy hammer.
In closing, he impersonated Bara-
bas, ' the guilty man who had been
freed that an innocent man might be
condemned coming to Calvary and
cringing before the cross gazing at the
crucified Christ and crying out, "My
God, He's hanging on my cross
Brewery Employe Hits Trail
"Thy name is Barabas, sinner
said the evangelist, in making his ap-
peal for trail hitters.
Eighty persons accepted the invita-
ton, among whom were nine married
couples, and large number of small
boys. One man said that he was the
driver of brewery wagon, and would
give up his business whereupon Pro-
fessor Spooner started the chorus sing
ing "The Brewer s Big Horses"
DR.. Stough will preach tomorrow
afternoon to women only on "The
Story of Life" and in the evening he
will give his lecture on amusements,
said by his associate, DR.. Cartwright
to be one of his strongest talks, pre-
senting the matter of amusement seek
ing in new manner, and being rich in
argument.
