Experiments are being made b,
specialists at Johns Hopkins univer-
sity hospital which, IL successful, will
greatly aid in the resuseitation of per-
sons apparently dead from drown
ing or ~asphyxiation. The treat
ment is the injection of a serum to
stimulate the blood to such an extent
as will form a reaction on the heart.
This will keep the person alive until
the apparatus perfected some tine
ago to clear the lungs can be put In
to use.
The serum has been tried on a
number of animals and has proved
successful.
According to the physicians, IL
the serum can be perfected, 1t can be
injected in the body several hours af-
ter the accident and restore life. In
n case of an animal the serum was
injected four hours after the drown
ing took place, and the animal was
brought back to life, but died later OF
high blood pressure.

Hanged i'm Eflgy

Rev. Madison Slaughter was hang
ed in effgy some time early Saturday
morning from a limb of a large
chestnut tree in the heart of the bus
miss district and within a block and
a half of Slaughter's church in Chico,
California.
1t was the first public demonstra-
tion in Chico of feeling against the
Baptist church minister who will be
placed ON trial in the Superior court
April 25th, for the second time, on
statutory charges preferred by 15-
year-old Gertrcde Lamson.
The effigy was constructed of an
old pair of trousers, an old sweater
and coat stuffed with straw. 1t was
crowned with a battered derby hat.
Across its breast was a piece of
white cloth, on which was painted in
black the word "Slau't'r."

Admit Sinking Ships

The German reply to the American
note concerning the damage or sink
ing of five steamships contains the
statement that the steamers English
man, Eagle Point, Manchester Engi-
neer, and Berwindvale we're destroy
ed by German submarines. Evidence
is presented to show that these YES
sells were torpedoed legally in accor-
dance with the rules of war.
The note states that a German
submarine ~torpedoed a steamship In
the vicinity of the places at which
the cross-channel steamship SUSSEX
vas damaged by an explosion, but
that evidence at hand indicates that
the vessel torpedoed by the subma-
rine vas not the Sussex.

Cross Country Auto Race

The biggest and longest automo-
bile parade that has yer been seen
is being arranged for the coming
summer to travel from Detroit, the
heart of the automobile industry,
over the Lincoln highway to San
Francisco and thence TO the Panama
California exposition at San Diego.
Blythe H. Henderson. chief OF
motor transportation at the exposi-
ton, is now in Detroit comforting
with the officials of the Lincoln High
way association ami making arrange
ments with automobile manufacture
ers of both truck and passenger cars
and with dealers in oils, tires and &C
eessories for cooperation in provid-
ing the 500 cars which are expected
to start. Tourists by the score are
expected to join the caravan enroute
and by the time the exposition is
reached it will be the largest ASSEMBLE
age of motor cars that has ever been
brought together for such a journey.
The rapid development of the Lin
coin highway both in actual road i'm
proyement and tourist accommoda-
tions along the roote makes the plan
feasible in every way and it is hoped
that the plan may appeal TO the man
u~facturers and be the biggest event of
the year in motoring circles.

TO the Philippines. Shuster is es-

Under Governor General Harrison
the Filipino people have felt that they
we're participating in the actual gov

they hold today complete control of
the legislative branch, since the Phil

Governor General, and FIVE F%ilipinos.
The Philippine assembly, elected by
direct vote of the people, is composed
entirely of F%ilipinos.
THE result of this policy has been
a state of peace and order throughout
the country which never before has
existed, even when there were nearly
100000 American troops in control.
Even in Mindanao and Jolo there is
peace and safety, where a few years

The United States processes pride
In its own individuality yet is con-
stantly initiating the Old World.
Paris fashions have a luster, probably
mostly mental. that no native Gus
toner can impart.
Just now new social currents OF
far-reaehing force are gathering
strength as outgrowths OF the war.
One of the new ideas is the reported
effort of the German government to
restrict future fashions for more
economy of material. All the war
powers have urged their people 10
dress simply. Exhausted Europe will
have little money after the wal to
waste on future style changes, SAYS
the Salt Lake Herald-Republican.
Will this affect American habits?
1t seems inappropriate that America
should continue to trim itself in the
changing alterations of its peacock
feathers with Europe wearing its
somber and simple black. Also fash
ion is a big part of u high cost of
living, in the discarding of clothes
before they are half worn out. II
women change styles frequently to
make themselves attractive to men
1t largely fails of Its effect. Men
don't know what is correct style and
what isn't.
The old-time woman smirked and
simpered and languished before the
lords of creation. hoping that they
would fall captive to her coquettish
charms The modern woman is more
independent of masculine disapprov-
al. She should have her W salts
factions, whether or not her clothes
~captivate the male population.
But usually women's clothes are
designed principally to make an I'M
preston on their own sex In that
respect they succeed. While the fair
lady is uttering her honeyed words
her critical eye is wandering over the
OF her friends appearance.
Some women can ignore solecisms,
but it takes firm principles to do it.
And 1t will take resolution to oppose
too frequent style changes.

Dress

Modern fashions in women's attire
were vehementiy condemned by
President Joseph F. Smith OF the
Mormon church in his closing ad-
dress at the meeting in the Taber-
nacle Sunday night of the Deseret
Sunday school union. He said many
of such fashions originated In the
demi monde, and he scathingly re-
buked Mormon women who follow
what he called immodest and ride
ulous fashions.
There is one thing to which | wish
to call your attention which may be a
little aside from Sunday school
work" said President Smith. THAT
is the late fashions in women's
wearing apparel, the appearance oil
women on the streets of u city In a
garb that is ridiculous, shameful and
bnmiliating to modest women and
pure-minded men and gratifies the
lust of the lecherous scoundrel who
would be glad to defle anything sa-
cred.
ITO say that | am ashamed OF the
garb of some of the daughters OF
Zion is speaking my mind mildly.
These fashions OF Babylon-some OF
them had their origin In houses of In
fanny, in places in the great vice cen
ters of the world.
Some people of Zion have fallen
into the habit of initiating the fash
ions OF the demi-monde, of the fallen
oreatures-creatures I call them be-
cause they are fallen. not of their
own choice necessarily, but neyerthe-
less fallen. I enter my protest
against my daughters falling into any
such fashions"
