SYNTHETIC TWINS ARE
 PLANNED BY PHYSICIANS

CHICAGO, June '. - Synthetic Sla' mese twins are planned by Dr. l.. K. Dragstedt, of the physiology depart ment of the University of Chicago The doctor has been experimenting with cats, dogs and guinea pigs for six months, joining their abdominal cav ities together in a suture similar to the Siamese twins.
 Linking of the animals is for the purpose of learning more about inter, nal secretions of the body, one of the subjects of which medical science has much to learn.
 Dr. Dragstedt reports interesting de velopments in his studies, but no def mite discoveries as yet.

OF
 ARMY HAWAII
 NOW OPPOSED

HONOLULU, T. H., June 7.-Bitter opposition to any reduction of the mili- tary or naval garrisons on the Island of Oahu is being voiced throughout Hawaii as a result of cable dispatches from Washington presaging cut of Hawaiia's army garrison from full division to 500 men, following econo- my measures being undertaken by the Harding administration.
 Under existing circumstances Ha- waii is the American outpuost in the Pacific. Not only would it be neces- sary to maintain the islands as base of naval operations in the event of war in the Pacific, task which would devolve largely upon the navy, but American life and property, it is pointed out, would have to be safe guarded at the outbreak of hostilities. At the present time the American pop ulation, together with the citizens of Hawaiian blood, who could be thor oughly relied upon, stand in a ration of about 1 to AZ as against the Orien- tai and other non-American population of the islands, or roughly oo,ooo against approximately 285,OO0. Should the Pacific pact fail as guarantor or peace-on that hinges the whole ques- tion-Hawaii improperly garrisoned would be ravaged at the very outbreak of war, it is claimed, before the navy could interfere.
 At this time no arguments on the other side of the case have been put forward, save only that the work or the limitation of armaments confer ence should be looked upon optimis- tically, as guaranteeing peace in the Pacific. And to that argument the reply put forth is that Hawaii should not be left unprotected until there has been time in which to observe the workings of the four-poWer agree ment and the apparent intentions Of the signatory nations.

CRAWLS MILES ON KNEES FOR
 MEDICAL AID

To crawl on his hands and knees for ten miles over the ice and snow, with a broken leg, with practically no food, and with one of his feet partly frozen, was the hardship which Dan Kean, a Stikine prospector and miner, was compelled to endure early in March, according to the told told by him when he arrived at Ketchikan last week for surgical attention. He broke his leg on March and up to the present time it has not been set be- cause of the fact that he could not get to any place where he could re- ceive the attention of surgeon.
 q was starting to sluice on Sixteen mile creek, tributary of the Tanzilla which flows into the Stikine," he said today as he lay in the Arthur Yates Memorial hospital, awaiting the devel- opment of X-ray pictures which were taken by Dr. R. V. Ellis, "When a DOulueF IOll6u uOWl ol Thy i0eo' LII O''N ing it just above the ankle.
 STARTS HARD JOURNEY
 q realize that I would have to get some place where I could be taken care of. I knew there was an Indian camp about mile below the cOnflu- ence of the creek and the Tanzilla river. That was about six miles from where I had been working. l started out. thinking that I could make the camp before night I was not able to, however, and stayed out all that night.
 "In my condition I could carry no pack, so simply took along a small niece of bread and some butter. That gave out the first day. The next day l reached the Indian camp, but found that the man there had left. I found note there telling of another camp about four miles farther on. I went there but found it deserted also, with no food in sight. Two days after l got to that last camp a man and his wife and child came along in dog team.
 "The man took his wife and child to the first Indian camp and then came back for me. l was extremely weak, my nerves were shattered be- fore the last five days l was out only had the filling of my snowshoe for sustenance.
 "After taking me to the Indian camp, the man then went out and found some natives who were able to take me by dogteam to Telegraph creek. There was government hos- pital there but no physician. They treated me the best they could Q Id attempted to set the broken bone, and believed they had succeeded For two months I remained there until after navigation opened. Yesterday was taken to Wrangell and from there came to Ketchikan on the steamship Northwestern"
 As evidence of the hardship sui fered, Kean's knees are still mass of sores and Dr. Ellis expresses belief that the skin and flesh were actually worn away to the bones. The X-ray pictures showed a clean break of the bone and that it was not set at all The end of the broken bone is pro truding through the skin.
 Kean is still courageous and in hopes that he will yet be able to return to his work, although realizing that it will be some time before he will be able to get about.
 His experience is another to be add ed to the history of the North where hundreds of men have done the seem ingly impossible and have borne up under terrible hardships, and it was only due to his pluck that he is now able to tell the story. Ketchikan Chronicle.
