Trial of a $4,000 damage suit
against District Coroner A. Ma
gruder Macdonald on a charge OF
removing the transposed heart Of
Michael Callas, II, who died two
years ago, got under way before
Justice F. Dickinson Let's today
at District Supreme Court.
The suit was instituted by the
boys mother, Mrs. Cleopatra
Callas, who charged that after
getting permission to perform an
autopsy from the boys father,
who is now dead, DR.. MacDon-
aid took out the heart without
authority.
The Callas boy fell dead while
at play in a playground. His
body was removed to the District
Morgue, where it was found that
all organs which should have
been on the left side of the body
were on the right.
Defense Of the coroner is ex-
pected to be on the line that, the
elder Callas' authority for the
autopsy also was permissioEr 10

A number Of the witnesses were
unable to speak English and it
was necessary to call in an in

Lester Wood, counsel for the
mother, introduced testimony to
the effect that removal of the
heart was a violation Of the doc
trine of the Greek Orthodox
Church and the father gave au-
thority for the autopsy under the
apprehension that unless he did
so he would be unable to obtain

neys. uteri, so common after 40 years
Of age. Now, as In all disease of every
sort, recovery means a discontinuance
OF the causes. and as the chief cause
of hernia is this loss of elasticity due
to an increasing intoxication Of the
body, therefore TO recover means to so
change the body chemistry as to bring
back again the elasticity. Fatigue II
long continued is the chief index Of
elasticity or its lack. And just as we
continue habitually tired. even 50 do
we subtract from cur elasticity.
Fatigue Is always. and only. due to
an increasing intoxication of the body.
Detoxicate the body and restore its
elasticity to the normal through use
of the vital foods in proper chemical
combination, and the fatigue will dis
appear and the elasticity will return.
Does this mean that a hernia may
be cured by eating properly? Most
assuredly, If at the same time the
hernia is not allowed to occupy the
opening created, for the longer this
hernia is pushing out through the wall
the wider does the breach become, TIL
no amount OF right living or exercise
can be expected to correct the condi-
ton.
Hold the hernia in place by means
Of a well-fitted truss. At the same
time eat properly. Keep the colon
continually unloaded by means of the
daily enema, and take those exercises
best adapted to strengthen the mus
cles about the breach in the wall
Then, unless the hernia is old, unless
its opening is large, or unless the age
Of the subject is beyond middle life, a
complete cure of the rupture should
occur within q year or two.
A man had moderate sized rupture
for three years, wore q truss, began
to eat properly and to keep the colon
emptied daily. After a year he under
took a very heavy lift. and he con-
graduated himself that he was wear
ing his truss, but when he got home
he discovered the truss reposing on,

hRMER BROWNS BOY had

the Terrier. It was quiet now
in Farmer Browns cornfield,
very quiet. The wagon filled
with corn had gone up the Long Lane
to the farmyard where the corncric
was. Danny Meadow Mouse creptr out
from his hiding place and cautiously
made his way to the jug lying under
the old coat in the fence corner. He
wasn't quite sure that he would find
that jug there, for he had left in such
a hurry that he hadn't seen just what
would happen.
The jug was there just where 1t had
been before Farmer Browns Boy had
found it. Danny hesitated at the
round doorway. Then he called softly
Just a faint squeak. 1t was answered
from inside. Nanny Meadow Mouse
was there, for that was her voice. He
had left her there when in q panic
of fright he had run out Of the Jug tust
as soon as Farmer Browns Boy had
put it back in place. He had left Nanny
in there, but, Of course, she must have
followed him out. Now she had re-
turned before him.
He ran in and found her busy with
the nest which had been disarranged
when Farmer Browns Boy had picked
up the jug.
MY, what a narrow escape We had!

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
Whippoorwill.
Antrostomus vociferus.

Antrostomus vociferus.
TINE eerie call of the whippoor-
will at night, from late April
until the middle of September,
L demanding some poor Will to
be chastised, has gained for
this bird a not SO good reputation.
Superstitious people have even en-
dowed the night caller with occult
powers.
As a night traveller he is not seen,
but his voice floats out through the
darkness and recalls to you all the
fantastic stories you have heard.
Whippoorwills roam all over the
United States to the plains. They do
not like the sea and will not 60 near
it; some have said it was because the
boom of the waves drowned their
voices.
The lonely, rocky woods where they
are sure of solitude seem to be their
favorite haunts. Should you come
suddenly upon one of them during
the daytime, 1t would arouse easily
and fly noiselessly away. Your feel
ings are somewhat startled. For the
bird is a large one with long wings,
and is mottled with reddish brown,
grayish black and dull white, yet it
moves silently away making no more
noise than a butterfly or moth would
make.
You must be an alert nature trailer
to discover one of the sleepers, even
in the sunlight. 1t has the uncanny
habit of stretching lengthwise along
a ledge or on the branch of a twig to
sleep. Its colors blend perfectly with
the bark and lichen, as we'll as the
shadows drifting down among the
leaves about it.
When the shadows fall, the whip
poorwill steals forth to dine. It has
large fly-trap mouth, well built to
catch the insect flyers who are our
sworn enemies. Between catches, the
bird sends forth his plaintive call,
and If you were nearby, you would
hear him give strange little cluck
before he spoke.
He is most useful member of So
ciety, and the millions of harmful
insects consumed by these Summer
residents would be hard to estimate.
Many confuse the whippoorwill with
the night hawk. They have a very
different note and habits, but they are
heard as they fly about, and the note
of the other is all that tells us of his
presence.
About May the mother lays two dull
white eggs. either upon the ground
or a few leaves. They are SO well
! marked with brown and lilac that
they easily escape your notice.
You cannot fail to notice the bristle-
;; like whiskers of both father and
mother WhippoorWill. They have the
same coloring, except that the white
band across the breast Of the father
has a grayer duplicate on his wife.
and the tail quills on the tips and
undersides are white on the male, but
! gray on the female
Our Dutch ancestors firmly believed
there would be no more killing frosts
after the bird announced his arrival

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

A RISTOTLE said that highly intel
ligent persons seldom laugh. Berg
son said that they seldom weep, but
that they sometimes laugh. Most phi
losophers make sweeping statements in
order to emphasize their philosophical
principles.
However. there does seem to be some
connection between ones intelligence
and the things that one will laugh
about The next step in psychological
| investigation is to arrange an adequate
| laughter test.
Take your position at some office
window in tall building. and look
down upon the passing vehicles and
pedestrians Then stop your ears so
that you can hear no sounds what
ever. and look at the same scene.
Finally call two or three friends to the
window and all together look out the
window with stopped ears. Then you
will see what laughter is. It is some
living situation distorted In the pres
ence Of those who also recognize dis
tortion. The pedestrians look funnier
| than do the passing autos.
So laughter is a form of language,
means Of communicating with one
person about another Those who
spend their time pondering over alb
straction seldom laugh. for the rea-
son that they are paying no attention
to their human environment.

In the absence Of sudden severe

As the body loses tone, its tissues
tend to be subject to stretching or

being the various ptoses of abdominal
organs, the fallen stomach, colon, kid
