About Baby Bonds"

1t won't be long now before the citizens Of Sheri-
dan county will have the opportunity to buy the much
publicized baby bonds" which the Federal govern.
ment plans to put on sale around the first Of March.
The President, 1t Is said. will buy No. ! and It Is
hoped that the people win take kindly to the offering.
The bonds will be sold on a discount basis and a bond
that will mature at S25 on a certain date will be sold
for less than the sum, the difference being the interest
it will earn during its lifetime.
The idea seems to be largely psychological. That
people will be able to invest huge sums seems improb-
able but that every buyer OF a baby bond will take
more interest in the affairs OF government Moreover,
holders Of these securities are not apt to be advocates
of wild spending on the part Of the government

The Picture In the Far East

Recognition of Soviet Russia, about fifteen
months ago, led many Americans to expect an enor-
nous increase In trade with that country. However,
negotiations to settle the question OF debts and to pro-
vide credit to facilitate Russian purchases in this
country have utterly collapsed, following Soviet in
sistence upon an outright loan.
Relations betweeen the two countries are not ser.
iously affected, although Japan and Germany were
both glad to see the riff. The possibility that It may
encourage Japanese aggression in the Far East exists
especially when one recalls the tenseness between

The Amendment Election

Radical changes in the government under which
Texans live were approved by less than one third Of
those who should have cast ballots in Saturdays
election. With over one million voters qualified. Il
appears that q maximum Of half that number Of
votes we're cast. And on the basis OF population
figures Of the state. it would appear that there must
be 100000 persons over n years Of age and other
wise qualified to become legal voters of the state
through the payment Of their poll tax. So the 500 1000
votes cast represent just about one third Of the num-
Der that really should have voted Saturday.
The apathy Of the average voter toward an cleo
ton Of this kind is hard to understand Perhaps the
results Of the election would not have been changed.
but at least we would have had a real expression OF
Texas sentiment had there been more voters interest
ed enough to go to the polls.
As the matter now stands. one third Of those who
should have voted, representing Just about one
twelfth Of the population Of Texas. have repealed
prohibitions have decided on an old age pension
that may result in the state having to raise an ad-
dttional 40 to SO millions In taxes; have refused free
textbooks to private school pupils; have decided that
a person may be committed for mental observation
without trial by jury; have changed the method Of
compromising county and precinct officers, and SO on
down the line according to the intent Of the various
amendments adopted or rejected.
It is getting TO be the usual thing to deplore the
lack Of interest Of voters and those who should be
voters in elections. Editorials Of this nature may be
counted upon to follow almost every election held.
What is the reason for the lack OF interest?
No one seems to be able to put a finger on the
definite place Of trouble, yet all who have an interest
In the welfare or the state and nation agree that the
apathy Of citizens generally speaks OF a situation
that is not so good.
While Valley counties generally turned out a vote
larger in proportion to the number Of poll taxes paid
than was cast In other sections OF the state. stil
Valley poll tax payments were decidedly down as
compared to the previous year. and but a small
proportion Of our potential voting population went
to the polls.
Maybe those who say that the country needs a die
tator are right.
Certainly II those who have the right and privil-
eye Of the ballot do not care to govern, the result
will be dictatorship in one form or another. II we
do not have an actual one man dictatorship. we viii
have the same thing In minority rule, and that
minority viii undoubtedly be composed Of those who
make 1t their business to rule, and probably 10 rule
for private gain rather than for the welfare OF the
majority.

Doctors Ridicu1e Idea
OF Freezing Body
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Editor, Journal Of the American Medical Association.
and Of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
The man who has offered 10 have himself frozen
and then revived. on the strength Of an experiment
OF this sort done with a monkey, had better think
again before going through with It. For past ex-
perience indicates that there is not a whit OF reason
behind the claims Of a California chemist that his
new freezing method viii keep the body tissues in
normal state, and that he could restore animals to
life after complete suspension Of animation for q
number Of hours.
This idea was tried only a year ago by i~nvestiga-
tors who exposed rabbits to extreme cold.
Out OF so animals exposed for II minutes to a tenn
perature Of rs degrees below zero. one died. out Of
so rabbits exposed to outdoor cold for n minutes
three died; 81 per cent Of rabbits whose body tenn
perature was reduced to 10 degrees Centigrade died
and stayed cold.
Only ct per cent OF rabbits died when the body
temperature was reduced to rs degrees Centigrade,
which equals % degrees Fahrenheit.
Extensive work done on rabbits. cats and guinea
pigs shows that keeping an animal at a low tempera-
'ture changes completely the nature Of the cells, and
such changes lead to destruction and death. The
glands OF animals exposed to cold become turgid, red
and at times massively swollen. and on these changes
in the glands depend the life and health OF the ami
nal.
1t has been shown that the effects Of extreme cold
sustained for even moderte periods of time are seri-
ously to damage the tissues and thereby 10 produce
shock which leads to death. italian and French
investigators have made extensive studies Of the Eff
fects OF freezing on portions Of the body, particularly
the glands. They find that freezing the glands
threatens life.
Cases are on record In which extreme cold has
brought about profound changes in the blood so that
the red coloring matter Of the blood is broken down
and eliminated from the body.
In view OF the fact that the chemist who claims
TO have frozen monkeys and restored them to life Is
without standing in the field OF medicine, and In
view OF the fact that his experiments do not seem to
have been scientifically controlled, and since there
Is reason to believe that he has not been able
to reverse all Of the previous observations OF scien-
lists working in weIl-controled laboratories. his
claims are preposterous.
Thus far no one has yet been able to restore a per-
son actually dead to life. whether death was pro
duced by electric shock. strangulaticn, freezing,
disease or any other method. Indeed. It Is a well
established fact that discrimination OF the circulation
OF the blood to the brain produces in a very short
time such prtfound changes. that the idea OF res
~toration life after the circulation OF the blood has been
stopped, even far a few minutes. is utterly absurd.
