London. March 27.-The lure of
"Sunken Treasure" is again tempt
inc London spectators, and a
company has been formed TO test
whether there is matter OF
$4,000. 900 still at the bottom o.
Navarino Bay, off the west coast

Trading Blood
For Education
Ony United PrcSs(

Philadelphia, March 27.-Many
medical students at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania are selling
their blood to help pay for their
education.
Turning their blood into gold
is ACCOMPLISHED by submitting
to blood confusion operationh.
The usual fee to the bloodgiver
ranges from S25 to 500.
The practice is limited to al
most exclusive medical students
and in one medical fraternity
half the members are now selling
their blood. Other undergraduate
ties do not seem willing to run the
rink.
The pure blood of qualified vol
unteers is tapped for the benefit
of patients whose life depends on
an emergency supply. Not every
student is permitted to submit to
such an operation. His blood
must meet certain rigid require
ments and there must be an
abundance of red corpuscles.
Selling blood has been a prac-
!tice among future doctors at
Penn for some time" according
to DR.. L. L. Gardner Of the Uni
versity Hospital.
at may be an easy way to
make money, but we do not en-
courage the practice. The medical
students do it Of their own accord
and in fact some of them need the
mney SO badly they insist on sac
their blood for tranSfus-
ion purposes. We now limit
each volunteer to three operations
a year."

IF RHEUMATIC

Overcome rheumatism
Acid

Rheumatism is easier to avoid
than to cure, states well-known
authority. We are advised to
dress warmly, keep the feet dry,
avoid exposure, and above all,
drink plenty of good water and
avoid eating sweets of all kind.
Rheumatism is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from
food fermentation. 1t is the fine
|tion of the kidneys to filter this
poison from the blood and cast
lit out in the urine; the pores of
the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this inns
purity. In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work; they become weak
and sluggish and fail to elimi-
| mate this waste and acids. which

Bombing Airplanes
Without an Aviator

Paris. March 27.-Directing the
fight of an airplane without a
pilot, French aeronautical engin-
GERS have demonstrated the prac-
ticability of Utilizing airplanes for
bombing purposes during war
without risking an aviator. The
controlled machine flew
for six and one-half hours, ris-
ing and falling, veering and loop
ing at the command of the en-
gineers on the ground two miles
below.
Except for the fact that the
actual landing of the machine
cannot be controlled so far, the
airplane was as much in the pow
err of the engineers as if they
were aboard. There was a pilot
in the machine with which the eX-
pertinent was conducted at the
Orly airdrome, but he did not
have to touch the controls once
during the flight.
The machine weighs only ninety
pounds. Its mechanism is a sec
ret, but it is known that the mo-
tor has two pistons driven by
compressed air, and it is on these
pistons hat the wireless waves
work. The cost is so small that
for the price of a battleship a
thousand pilotless airplanes could
be built. In time of war they
could be sent over the enemy lines
in fleets laden with explosives
sufficient to cause terrific de-
struction.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES
GIVING A PRESENT
Gymnasium Building of Grammar
School Nearly Ready for Pupils
as Christmas Draws Near;
Play to Mark Dedication

| Not by reason of any previous

OF the new gymnasium addition to
the grammar school, but neverthe-
less coming as a distinctly satisfy

dren of Winnemucca, is the an
nouncement that within q short time
the building will be ready for use.
So far as the structure itself is
concerned, is finished now, but in
stallation of electrical work and the
heating plant will require additional
time.
In size the gymnasium addition is
l0xS0 feet, but because it is con-
nected with the smaller grammar
school building an assembly room
larger in size than those dimensions
Will result. AT the rear a stage has
been erected, thus adequately pro-
viding for future entertainments
at the school, lack of this provision
having caused considerable dissatis-
faction in the past. Ordinarily.
however, the additional room thus
provided will be used as a gymna-
SUM and assembly. A moving pic
ture machine will later be installed.
When the new building is ready
for use a play will be given for the
purpose of proper dedication. al
though an exact date for the play
has not yet been set nor will il be
50 set until work remaining to be
done is nearer to completion. 1t
should be held, though, soon after
school reopens after the Christmas
holidays.
In addition to being a Christmas
present to the kiddies, and it seems
certain that they will Thoroughly
appreciate the spacious room in
which they can romp and play as
well as secure scientific physical
exercise, the building is also prac-
tlcally Christmas gift to the tax
