Roof Garden For Use In Summer

Omaha, August ia church with

Portable chairs, lights, and only the
sky overhead is the dream Rev. Harry
V. Foster of Dundee Presbyterian
Church, Omaha, cherishes as the ideal
church of the future.
eff churches would build roof gar

houses would not be doing so thriving
a business" he says.
Rev. Foster favors building roof
gardens over the Sunday School and
study rooms rather than over the
main auditorium. When the project
CT new proposed $4,000 church
comes up among his Pensioners, he
says he stands pat for a roof gar
den.
Hotels and apartment houses are
looking after the comfort of their pat
rons with roof gardens. Why not
churches ?" he asks.
Rev. Foster is a lover of baseball,
golf and tennis; a horticulturist and
gardner of some note, and an expert

TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Experi- ments are being made by specialists at Johns Hopkins University hos pital, which. if successful, will great lv aid in the resuscitation of per sons apparently dead from drowning or asphyxiation. The new treatment is the injection of serum to stim- ulate 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 time ago to clear the lungs can be put into use.
 The serum, the ingredients of which the experimenting physicians will not divulge at this time, has been tried on a number of animals in the laboratories of the institution and in number of cases has proven successful However, in most of the cases there has been after effects such as high blood pressure or hardening of the arteries.
 According to the physicians, if the serum can be perfected and there is every assurance at this time that it can, the serum can be injected in the body several hours after the ac- of an animal, the serum was in- iected four hours after the drowning took place, and the animal was | brought back to life, but died later of a high blood pressure.

BUTTON, BUTTON, WHO'S COT
Wars to Blame for Widespread Ep-
 idemic of Falling Fasteners

Buttons been dropping off your clothes?
 Have trouble keeping 'em on, even right after the tailors finished sew ing 'em back on?
 Blame the war.
 Yes. the war in Europe, according to Minneapolis tailors, is responsible for the epidemic of buttonless clothes that has swept over Minne- apolis-and, for that matter, every other town in the country-in the last year or so.
 The famine of tight buttons is the direct result of another famine that of ball linen" the tailors say. This linen, used for many years as the standard material for sewing on but tons, has never been produced in quantities except in Belgium and in certain districts of Austria. Natur- ally, the war has cut off exports from both those countries For a time the supply the tailors had on hand in this country held out.
 When, however, the ball linen ran out, the buttons began to drop off and they've been dropping off ever since. Fine chance, this, for some Yankee genius to invent new kind of button thread that will save his fellow citizens from much possible embarrassment and place him right alongside Elias Howe, Eli Whitney, Edison, the Wrights and the rest of 'em in the inventors hall of fame.- From the Minneapolis Journal.

LONDON, April 10.-A dispatch to the Morning Post from Budapest says
 Count Tisza, the Hungarian premier and Baron Burian, the Austrian foreign minister, are expected to resign The TisZa government is expected to fall owing to the opposition of Austria Hungary and Turkey to the proposed German plan of establishing a customs union and economic federation between the neutral powers and their allies"
 According to reports in Budapest Count TisZa has already been summon ed to the royal palace and informed bluntly by Emperor Francis Joseph that he would be dropped unless he consented to the scheme for a customs union. It is said that Count Tisza StubhOrnly refused to budge and it is expected that when the ministry falls he will take up the leadership of the opposition to any ministry supporting the customs union project.
 There has been much speculation regarding q possible successor to the premier, the general opinion prevailing that it will be necessary to form l cab met composed for the most part of soldiers as few if any of the leading politicians would be willing to under take the task in face of Count Tisza' s opposition.
 "The fall of the Tisza government, if it becomes an accomplished fact. will be greeted with satisfaction in many circles, for his strong personality and vigorous support of the war has ere ated enemies, particularly among the Hungarians, who have declared him to be great hindrance in the way of an early peace settlement"
