Kansas May Have Chance to
Give TrainIOad to China.
Thousands of Lives Could Be
Saved in This Manner.

Kansas farmers may have an op-
portunity to sell their corn---or give
it away-to the millions of dying in
famine stricken China. DIR. Charles
M. Sheldon of Topeka. editor of the
Christian Herald and widely known
author and minister, who is behind
the movement fostered by the Chris
tian Herald, announced today prelim-
mary plans for the collection of corn
in carload lots to be shipped to China.
1t is hoped that a trainload of corn
can be collected in Kansas. Children
are being buried alive and old folks
killed off in China in order to post
pone the end of the more able citizens
of the country. Hundreds of thou
sands have died.
"It is impossible to exaggerate the
suffering there" Doctor Sheldon said
today.
trainload of corn from Kansas
would save thousands of lives. 1t is
planned to give the citizens of towns
and cities the opportunity of buying
the corn from the farmers. This corn
would be collected by the railroads
and shipped to the coast.

Chicago, Dec. 8.-The thyroid gland
of a monkey was successfully trans
planted today to the body of Mary
Ko1wizski. 19-year-old girl, who was
hidden in cellar for seventeen years.
Physicians hope the gland will aid
the girl to recover her mental and
physical growth, dwarfed by the long
years in dark cellar.
The operation at the American hos
pita1 took nearly an hour. Leaders in
the medical profession of the city
stood by and watched as the white
garbed surgeons and nurses worked
swiftly around the operating table.
Claim Operation Success.
Doctors Bernard Klein and Sigmund
Krumhoiz, who performed the opera
tion, pronounced the surgery a sue
cess as the girl was removed from the
room. They were confident that the
gland would have the desired effect of
strengthening the girl physically and
mentally.
The monkey from which the gland
was obtained will live and will be
closely watched for developments
without the gland.

argument for the formation of the

EUROPE IS SHORT ON HENS
Great Britain Alone Needs 22,OO0,O OC
Fowls to Fill the
Gap.

London.-As a result of the war
says a poultry expert, there are $780,
100000. fewer hens in Europe than
existed in 1913.
Great areas are war swept. In 1918,
60 per cent Of imported eggs came into
the United Kingdom from Russia,
Germany and Austria-Hungary, and
61.3 per cent Of poultry was imported
from Russia and Austria-Hungary.
These countries have ceased to pro-
luce nearly enough for their w
needs. much less a surplus for ex-
port.
The poultry population of Belgium
has decreased by so per cent, of HOl-
land by 10 Per cent, of Denmark and
France by 90 per cent.
The United Kingdom has been more
fortunate. Probably our poultry
stocks are within 10 per cent of those
of 1918.
But to fill the gap, however, would
require about %. 100000 more fowls
or ducks than at present-that is, an
addition to the 10, 50O,O 900 we now pos
sess in Great Britain.
