What Is Life?
Rv Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., Del, LID
Famous Scientific Authority

in medicine, since it counter
acts the effects Of disease. A
disciple of Leenwenhoek and
of Paul Bert, Carrel set out TO
show, as he believed, that It's
sues really grow outside the
organism in a condition OF
latent life. Various fragments
pieces of skin, blood vessels,
periosteum from chicks-were
placed in a refrigerator in var1-
Gus mixtures at a low tempera-
ture. These fragments lived
and grew!
Another notable discovery
was the proper proportion Of
adult chicken plasma and the
Juice of a chicken embryo to
mix together, as a medium
for best stimulating strains OF
connective tissue and causing
them to multiply indefinitely.
Two parts Of the former to one
part Of the latter proves amaz-
ingly. Eventually he was able
to keep cells multiplying out
side the organism for three
years. In one case he grated
a section Of the artery Of a
man to that of a dog. Four
years later it was performing
it's functions perfectly. He has
gone even further: separating
the organs from a living ami
NAL, he suspended them in
liquid and kept them alive and
performing their normal func-
tionS for more than 13 hours.

Not q Pleasant
Prospect, Eh?

Editor, Times:
I believe it is generally under
stood and conceded that the
military powers Of the world are
at the present time in posses
sion of Observation-Disclosures
and exploSives-with which any
city or fleet could be destroyed
almost instantly. If that be
true, why are the great powers
continuing to build naval arma-
mentS?
The treasures of the nations
are lean and the people Of the
nations are hungry. Why, then,
waste these great sums Of money
on something that is not needed
in peace and would be useless in
war? It is a question that mil
lions are asking and no one
seems able to answer.
An officer Of high rank in the
American Army recently said to
me: I'VE have at this moment
instrumentalitieS with which,
we could utterly destroy the city
of New York in 20 minutes
time, and suppose that every
other nation is similarly
equipped. There would be no
battle fronts in another great
war. It would simply be cloud
bursts Of destruction.
With the heavens filled with
swarms Of aircraft pouring
down "cloudbursts" of destruc-
tion and death, what would be
the use of cruisers and battle
ships? Submarines alone could
survive, and they would have to
go deep, indeed. to escape the
type Of depth bombs now posi-
BILE to construct. Can some
body clear up this problem?

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland

Mrs. Solomon Says
Wherefore, my Daughter, do
the damsels of Babylon seek
always to "EXPRESS them
selves?
: Wherefore. are they filled
with flippancy and franknesS
and the desire to appear sophis-
ticated?
For an alluring woman is a
Song Without Words. But a
little chatterer is a deadly
thing.
Go to. Repartee and prattle
may amuse the simple, and a
snappy answer may catch the
ear; but a Silent Woman in
trigueth the imagination and
an eloquent LISTENER de-
lighteth a mans heart.
For, no man desireth to read
q book whereof the plot is
revealed in the blurb upon the
cover.
Yes, alas, because the First
Woman held converse with the
Serpent, and discovered the
delights Of TALKING, have all
the daughters Of Eve been
cursed with Looseness Of Tongue.
And a woman cannot be content
until she hath told a man
GALL"
But when she hath revealed
all her thoughts and complexes,
when she hath confessed all
her past follies and her weak
moments, and divulged all her
secrets, then is she as innocuouS
as q last syear's popular song

that not one chlorine in a thou

to be stage stars. Some would
like nothing better than to run
