to Norway. who has published q
series of articles in the German peri

communism.
Nine. Kollantay says q new feeling
in regard to this subject has sprung
up alongside the communist concep-

ideals Of marriage and morals must
disappear with the idea of private
property. She urges that the basis
of 1.-The new morals must be purely
hygienic and that the chief end OF
the proletarian companionship must
be to eliminate all egoistic and indt-
vidual instincts in favor OF develop
ing the community upon cooperative
lines.
Commenting upon the woman en-

But they waited a week before an- nonncing the operation because thov wanted to bc sure that .the heart would not cease functioning again.
 The baby weighed less than six and cne-haf pounds at birth. Dr. Acker- man said yesterday that there was no reason to believe that the youngster will not thrive, He is inclined to the belief that the anesthetics administer cd to Mrs. Miller when she was oper- ated upon for appendicitis may have lad something to do with the baby Icing born apparently dead.
 Other Cases.
 On April ?. similar resort to ad- rcnalin produced life in the son of Mir. and Mrs. Harry Sherwin, 163 Chester street, Brooklyn. This occur red in the Brownville and East New York hospital after the baby had lap- parently died after five minutes of life. Dr. A. F. Toperson, the resident physician. administered the adrenalin.

 Will Pay For Burial.
 Another provision of the new act which is applicable also to veterans other than World War veterans, pro- Nides that when a veteran of any war dies after his discharge or resignation from the service and does not leave sufficient estate 10 meet the expenses of burial and transportation of the tody, the Veterans Bureau will pay for flag to drapc the casket, and also for burial expense not exceeding S100, the flag, after burial, to become the property of the next Of kin of the de- ceased, If death occurs while such person is receiving government medi- cal, surgical or hospital treatment or vocational training, the bureau will ray, in addition to burial expenses, actual and necessary cost of trans- portaton of the body, including the lTepdrdtlDl Ol lDe DOuN, lO pldCb of burial within the continental limits of the United States. This provision of the new act extends the funeral ex- penses to a larger class of veterans than was previously provided for.
 Hospital Facilities Extended.
 There is another provision in the act which is of interest to the Span- ish War veterans, as well as to vet erans of the Philippine instruction and Boxer rebellion. It extends all hospital facilities under the control and jurisdiction Of the bureau so that they arc available for these veterans suffering from neuro- -psychiatric or tubercular ailments.
 A provision is also made that pay nents of premiums on yearly renew able terms insurance and converted insurance may be deemed not to have lapscd in the cases of those persons, who. while mentally incompetent and for whom no legal guardian had been appointed. have heretofore allowed or may hereafter allow their insurance to lapse while so suffering. during the reriod for which they have been or may hereafter be so rated.

VETERANS BENEFIT
 BY NEW RELIEF ACT
Benefits Previously Out Of the
 Reach Of Former Soldiers

1 Washington, April 2o.--tBy Associ- atcd Press. .)-Numerou benefits not before within the reach of disabled eX-service men were granted in the new veteran relief act passed during the last days Of the 67th congress, says the United States Veterans Bu- rean.
 Many of the provisions of the new law arc sponsored by veterans or ganizations. Ono of the most impor- tant. it is said by the Veterans Blu reau, provides. in effect
 l. That every officer and enlisted man or any person in the active serv- ice under the War and Navy depart ments, who was discharged or who resigned prior to the establishment of the Veterans Bureau, August 9, 1921, and every such person in the active service on or before November IL, 1918, who, on or before August g. 1921, was discharged or resigned, shall be conclusively held to have been in sound condition when entering the service. except to such disabilities as were noted of record when or prioi' to the time he entered the service.
 Tubercular and Mental Disease.
 ?. That an eX-seryice man who is shown to have mental disease or an active tubercular disease of 10 per cent or more, and such showing was made upon examination by medical officer of the Veterans Bureau or other qualified physician, within three years after separating from the serv- ice. shall be considered to have ac- auired his disability in service or to have suffered an aggravation of pre- existent tubercular or mental disabil- ity. In addition to extending this period from two years to three years in mental and tubercuar cases. the provision eliminates the qualification that the tubercular condition must be pulmonary to entitle one to the bene- fits of the presumption.
 There is also provision extending the time in which a certificate of dis ability may be obtained by providing that such certificate may be obtained

'ADRENALIN BRINGS
 BABE BACK T0'LIFE
Third Case of Its Kind-- --YouneSter
 Will Live

New York, April 2o,--By the use of adrenalin. an extract Of the adren, al gland, the daughter born to MT and Mrs. James Miller of Bclmar, N J., and pronounced dead by the at tending physician, was brought to life Thursday of last week in the Ann May hospital. Spring Lake. The incident was officially announced yesterday m the hospital. Dr. James r. Acker' man of the hospital staff made the in- jectiors.
 Thre Injections Used.
 The operation, while not unprece- dcnted, was remarkable, as three in- jections were necessary to bring life 10 the apparently dead infant. Only twenty-four hours before the baby was born Mrs. Miller was operated upon for appendicitis. The child was born three weeks prematurely Ap- parently everything was against her chances of living and the surgeons were not surprised when she was seemingly dead at delivery.
 Dead At Birth.
 Dr. Alderman when the child ar rived said that the baby was dead. Nevertheless he resorted to every thing immediately possible to pro- mote heart action. He tried artificial respiration. Oxygen was pumped in to the lungs. Hot and cold water were applied to the chest in efforts to generate the necessary nervous reac- lions. These measures produced nothing, although they were contin- ued for ten minutes.
 Then Dr. Alderman called for By means of hypoder- mic needle 32 milligrams of the fluid was forced into the motionless mus ces of the heart. Almost immedi- ately after the needle was withdrawn the first heart pulsation was recorded. ton for three minutes and then it stopped.
 Dr. Alderman says that he waited for three minutes, and there being no further indications of life he injected sa milig.ams more. The heart re- sponded with a stronger action and this time the beating continued for four minutes. Then the surgeon de- cided to stake everything on a third injection and his hypodermic needle entered the heart once more, carrying l60 miligrams.
 Heart Starts Action.
 This time the chid's heart respond sd strongly. The pulsation was nor nal andthe baby manifested all the activities of one born alive and ,in- fer the most conventional of curcum-

Shattering the Machine

THE political machine not founded upon honor
l. and decency may prosper for a time, but soon
er or later it comes to grief. They all have. There
is the Thompson machine in Chicago. 1t came into
being on a reform wave, because the machine it dis
placed was rotten. It was hailed as the purifier
and savior of n great city. Once entrenched in pow
err and in command of an army of employees, hang
ers-on interests, and influences, mostly bad, it could
not be dislodged. 1t pandered TO all the evil forces
cency in the public view. 1t carried out, time and
again, the outward semblance of moral cleanup
and curbing of crime, but the power vested in the
municipal administration was never exerted OBJECT.
lively, determination in the direction of right and
Righteousness did not appear.
In a city of the magnitude of Chicago the PEG
pie are a long time finding out the truth. But few
come in actual contact with the administration
1t has a sort of mysterious existence and is far re-
moved from the average citizen. 1t is always
it actually possesses. The people, collectively, do
not realize how simple a matter it is to drive an
unworthy administration fro mpower, by compel
ent leadership and united action. This always
arises when a regime reaches a putrid state and
the people can no longer bear the smell.
One difficulty in dislodging the so-called Thomp-
son-Lundin machine was that it was allied with a
state machine that exerted the same power through
out the commonwealth, that the municipal machine
did within the city. Such alliance made for great
er power to both.
After repeated trials the elements of good tri-
umphed over the elements of evil and the Thomp-
son political machine has been driven from the
high places.
The necessity for organization and association of
those who desire to accomplish the public good is
recognized, but organization for the direct purpose
of encompassing and encouraging evil must be OPP
posed, and for tho reason that the people do not
know is the only reason and the excuse for the
development of such institutions as has cursed pub
lie affairs in Chicago for so many years.
There is hope, always, in a new order of things
and the better element of Chicago has high hopes
for the future.
1t would seem that sincere and honest effort to
curb crime and evil and conduct n reasonably NOR
al community, would not be among the impossib-
ilities. The great city of Chicago does not de.
serve to become a by-word throughout the land.
