Fears Thieves Will
 Steal His Ribs

Berlin, Aug. 29-A young man with ribs of gold and platinum is working in cigarette factory at Breslau
 When he was locksmith's appren- t!ce, several years ago, he fell from the roof of a house and was badly injured. He was taken to a hos pltal where the docror4 found that his skull was fra atured and alI his ribs but one were broken. The youth was in the hospital for no less than four and a half years. and finally the surgeons undertook to repair or re- place his shattered ribs.
 A metal plate was inserted in hi~ skull and the fractured bones were replaced by gold and platinum. Two and a half years later the man was able to leave the hospital and since then he Mas been working in a ci- gal0tte factory. In view of the pres ent value of gold and platinum, it is evident that he is carrying about irs his body quite considea-sl hle amour of wealth. and it is stated that spe- ciaI measures are being taken to protect hdm against criminals.
