CAPITOL REMODELING
BILL TO Be Revived
Senate Public Building Commit
tee to Take Up Measure
on Friday.

The bill to remodel the east front
Of the Capitol, which died In the
House after passing the Senate last
year, will be taken up again by the
Senate Public Buildings and Grounds
Committee at a meeting called for
1880 am. next Friday. The esti.
mated cost Of the project has been
changed since last year from $780,
600 to $4,000,000
Considered at intervals for many
years, the plan IS to extend the orig
inal central portion q short distance
eastward and face it with marble to
harmonic with the Senate and House
wings, which were built at q later date.
One Of the purposes Of the improve
ment is to eliminate the appearance
of the dome resting too close to the
outer edge Of the building on the east
front. The extension also would pro-
vide another corridor Of committee
rooms between the House and Senate
wings.

Scientist Offers 81, 500 to Use
Sailor as Human Guinea Pic
Anderson Surprised and
Wants Time to Think
1t Orer.

A Boston "color ray" scientist Of
fered today to ''buy" John Anderson,
jr, 25-year-old unemployed seaman
Of 606 Fifth street, for use as "hu-
man guinea pig" in attempts to solve
the riddle of airplane disasters.
Through an associate, according to
an Associated Press dispatch from Salt
Lake City. Karl Won Schilling said he
would pay Anderson $500 for q
years services If the sailor "is sin
guinea pig" for some experimentally-
minded doctor.
Anderson, who received the offer in
q telegram sent by F. Logan Thomas
son of Salt Lake City, was little sur
prised at the quick response to his
proposition, expressed yesterday, and
decided to think it over" for few
days before accepting or rejecting the
scientists offer.
Wants to Reflect.
I'm not backing down." he told
reporter. II Just want to think about
it for a while.
Maybe I'll get some more offers
perhaps better ones"
Anderson, q tall, nght-haired youth,
who has been out Of work since the
beginning Of the seamens strike, came
here from New York with fellow sea-
men to protest against the Copeland
"safety-at-sea" bill.
In Salt Lake City Thomasson said
Won Schilling has been seeking q
human robot to duplicate as nearly as
possible the mental and physical
processes of pilots in flying difficulties.
Anderson sounds like he would
serve our needs very WELL" Thomasson
added.
Cash Ready to Post.
I'VE are ready to post the $500
he asks for his father in q bank and
60 ahead with the experiment, pro-
vided he convices us he is sincere, and
provided he signs an absolute release
for one year.
I'VE must be completely free to use
him as we WISH"
Won Schilling has certain theories,
Thomasson said, as to recent plane
crashes in Utah, California and the
East.
HE believes it possible to duplicate
conditions preceding the accident by
training such Q subject as Anderson
might prove to be to fly, and then
sending him up In oxygen helmet and
other equipment in . series Of plot
reaction tests" Thomasson explained.
II Anderson should emerge from the
tests IN any way less able to adjust
himself to society, Thomasson said,
he would receive institutional care.

Slowly Developing Chronic Nephritis May Seriously Impair Body Functions
T. N. Res. .. 6. Pat. or.

There are also tests of the urine and of the blood which still fur. ther enable the physician to esti- mate the capacity of the kidneys to do their work.
 Most important in the control of this form of nephritis is the seiec- ton of an adequate and properly balanced diet. It Is, of course necessary not only to consider the patients disease, but his appetite aS well, because there is no value in giving him food which he will not eat.
 If the anemia is severe, 1t is customary to give extra amounts of iron according to the prepara- ton which the doctor may pre- scribe. Obviously the amount of exercise and rest that the patient takes must be kept under control.
 ft Is customary to limit the amounts of tea and coffee, al- though these need not be entirely omitted from the diet if the pa- tent has been taking htem regu- larly, Usually these patients are told to avoid alcohol and highly speed foods. The use of tobacco should be restricted. Constipation should be avoided by keeping the bowels regulated with suitable cathartics when necessary.
 In the most severe cases, if 1t seems that the circulation is over- loaded, physicians sometimes study the advisability of with drawing fairly large amounts of blood from the blood vessels, thus taking some of the burden off the kidney.
 It should be obvious, however, that all of these conditions are serious and that the handling of any one of them is a matter for the application of the utmost in medical science that competent doctor has At his command.

 The condition ordinarily called Brights disease is chronic nephritiS. The distinction between tlIe various stages of inflammation of the kid- neys is exceedingly difficult to make and depends largely on the expert. ence of the physician.
 Usually, those forms which be. come chronic come on SO grad. ually after middle age that they are not noticed unless the person has q regular physical examin- ton, including an examination of the urine.
 Of course, the most difficult condition to overcome is aeeumu- lation of the fluid in the tissues. If the fluid around the eyes is pro- fuse, 1t actually may swell the eyes shut. Sometimes the legs may swell so greatly as to make locomotion difficult, If not impos- sible.
 Sometimes the fluid may collect in the brain, with serious effects on thought and action. There may be SO much disturbance of the bowels that there will be loss of appetite and constipation or, in other instances, diarrhea.
 Actually. the patient may seem to be large because of the accu- mutation of the fluid in his body, whereas really he Is ernaciated and undernourished. In these cases the blood pressure is usually higher than normal and sonie- times extremely high.
 Tn the early conditions, the heart and the blood vessels may not be affected, but later the effects may be so great that life is main tained with difficulty.
 Tn such instances the physician is particularly anxious to test the function of the kidney to deter mine whether 1t is doing its work satisfactorily and, in fact, to de- termine exactly how much work 1t is capable of doing.
 Obviously the diet and the fluids taken by the patient are depend- ent on these determinations.
