firemen or policemen or other volun-
teers to administer artificial respira-
ton by pressing the chest, moving the
arms as in cases of resuscitation in
drowning or Of using the pulmotor,
which is the most efficient means Of
sustaining existence. But the cases
invariably end in death after q week
OF ten days, one cas- going to II
days.
In the case of the Kraft lad, he
died Of respiratory paralysis. Nom
day morning he became unconscious.
His legs were paralyzed. Next day
paralysis of the arms set In.
All week the community has fol-
lowed the cas- with sympathetic in
terest. The lad was the pet Of the
whole neighborhood around the Kraft

The family has arranged for inter-
ment In the Kraft lot in q Chicago

CHANGE TO Be MADE IN 1882

That North Dakota will lose one Of
its three congressman in the reappor-
tionment to follow the present census
appeared certain today.
A recent unofficial compilation
placed the population Of the state at
6S1 ,273, q gain Of 34,401 or 5.3l6 per
cent, but this was not sufficient to re-
tain the present congressional repre-
sentation In view Of the gains made
by some other states, according to
data compiled by the Associated Press
In washington.
Under the statute providing for re-
apportionment. elections this year
win not be affected.
While it cannot be determined
exactly which states will lose con-
gressmen and which will gain new
members, an Associated Press COM
pilation shows sufficient states have
completed their population enurner-
alton to give some indication OF the
probable changes.
It was calculated the new census
would change q memberships. Based
