Especial to Gateway by United Press
LONDON, July 2G.-Lance Corpor-
al Mayes, Queens Westminster Regi-
ment, lives today to be able to say
that he died.
A German shell clipped off part of

An operation became necessary.
Under an anesthetic the soldiers

The patient was dead. The surgeon
in charge tried a quick experiment
He made an incision large enough to
admit his hand in Mayes' side. He
lifted the diaphragm, reached the
heart and gently massaged the organ
with his fingers. The heart respond
ed and resumed pulsations.
Mayes is now on the road to COM
plete recovery. In another month ns

learning to use it in a trade which he
will be taught by the government.

COMBINE
TO STOP GAMBLING

Especial to Gateway by United Prcss)
BISMARCK, n. d. July "a
Farmers launched a nation wide fight
here today to stop gambling on grain
and farm products in all stock mark
cts Of the United States.
The movement is backed by the
Non-partisan Political league of
North Dakota whose membership has
just swept the state of North Dakota
clean, in the recent primaries. Every
state candidate nominated was theirs.
They were undefeated everywhere.
Their fight was featured by three
factors;
1t was launched by farmers, yet was
sponsored and enthusiastically sup
ported by labor and union men Of
North Dakota's cities.
Although various farmers oranges
and individual clubs form the party
it remained unit without splits or
jealousies.
Its ranks and leaders were assembl-
ed without reference to religion, poll
tics or nationality, but for the single
object of the complete abolition of all
gambling with grains and foods.
Following the sweeping victory in
North Dakota, league leaders are en-
rolling farmers of Minnesota for a
similar fight. When Minnesota is
swung, it is planned to make the
movement national, picking up Social
lists where farmers are in tahe minor
ity.

WOMEN WEAKER

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
DENVER, Colo, July 25.-Dwnk-
enness among women has. been slow
err to decrease under the state prohibi-
ton law than among men, juvenile
court authorities said here today.
Prohibition has cut down the num-
ber of eases before the various city
courts, 70 per cent. Habitual men
drunkards have almost disappeared.
While drinking by women shows a
marked decrease the PERCENTAGE Of
habitual woman drunks' who have
reformed falls much below that of the
men.
Juvenile court officer John Phillips,
who meets these cases because child
rem generally suffer when their par
ents get drunk, said women become
liquor victims through environment,
despondency and out of revenge.
"Once woman is cursed with this
habit" said Phillips, 'her downfall is
much faster than a mans because of
her Trailer makeup Women addicted
to both the liquor and tobacco habits,
it is almost impossible to cure

This is just one of the curious

Sixty barrels of empty bottles of what

lowed debauches. Now the clubs have
obtained charters from the state capi-

One of the strangest sights Of the
camp is the cabaret" An alert
speculator built a barn-like structure
of corrugated tin and put in a dance
floor. He hired an orchestra and
started business.
Soldiers and truck drivers locked
to the dance hall. The men dance to-
gether and enjoy it hugely. AT times
as many as fifty couples of men are
on the floor. To the music of good
three piece orchestra they waltz, two

drivers just out from the big cities

AVIATION RECORD

PARIS, July "a. - By establishing
new altitude record of 1880 feet
with three passengers aboard and
new record of 1880 feet with two
passengers, Aviator Sergeant Etinne
Poulet has just wrested the laurel
from the Germans.
In establishing this new worlds
record for altitude with two passen-
gers Poulet was obliged to fly in un-
favorable weather, reaching a height
of 1880 feet, sufficient to lower the
1900 record held by German Lieut..
Bien.
A few days later, Poulet was bless
ed with ideal weather and motor con-
ditions. With three men aboard: NJ.
Proust weighting las pounds, NJ.
Duche weighing 14S pounds and NJ.
Paillard weighing 125 pounds togeth-
err with 81 pounds of ballast, Poulet
reached an altitude of 1880, taking
the previous record of 175OG feet
from German flyer Sabatling.
This leaves the French in possession
of all aviation records previously held
by the Germans, it is said.
