Fever Of ITO Degrees

~ the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-Arti-
flcial fever-produced by electric
ity-was pictured to the Interstate
Postgraduate Medical Association
today as a possible key to the sue
cessful treatment of arthritis and
asthma.
DR.. John S. Coulter of Northwest
ern University told the association
that such a fever, or temperature,
when raised to a point that might
result in death If produced by the
body itself, had been used with some
success in 1873 cases OF chronic
arthritis.
He described an electrical cabinet,
similar in appearance to an iron
lung" in which patient can be-
confined for indefinite periods while
electrical currents induce body tenn
peratures as high as ITO degrees
Fahrenheit.
Fevers Aid Body.
Such high fevers, he said, aid the
body in combating the invasion of
arthritis and asthma germs, al
though it has not been determined
Just how the fevers work.
The seemingly "inexhaustible en-
ergy" possessed by some people,
particularly athletes, was attributed
by DR.. George w. Grille, eminent
Cleveland surgeon, to an unusual
nerve condition.
He said diversified coeliac ganglia,
q power station of the human ner-
vous system located back of the alb
dominal cavity, often explains the
reservoirs of energy sometimes
found in football players, prize
fighters and wrestlers.
New Alibi for Motorists.
A new alibi for tipsy driving was
described by DR.. Perrin H. Long OF
Johns Hopkins University.
He said some persons arrested for
drunken driving were not drunk at
all-but had been receiving treat
ment with the potent drug, sulfa-
nilamide.
Unfortunately the police do not
believe us when we tell them that
the charge is false and several of
my patients got tickets before real
lied I simply had to keep them out
of automobiles" he told the con-
veNtion.
DR.. Long said at least eight drivers
had been hauled into court because
the dizziness produced by sulfanila-
mide was mistaken for alcoholic in
toxication.
They aren't drunk, of course, but
they often look and act as is they
were," he said.

By the Associated Press.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. s.
William H. Hoover, Birmingham in
surance executive, today advanced
his private plan to eliminate Nation
wide unemployment.
Let employers hire an additional
man for each 10 now at work, he

no crackpot dream" but instead
was something worked out on
business lines by a businessman"
Can we free American business

thing of our own volition
or shall we continue to cry out
against what Government does and
yet do nothing adequate ourselves2"
he asked.

RELIEVE it or not, members of a
boxing club which meets twice a

Lowell street NV, say they have no
ambition to become future Jack Demp-
seys or Gene Tunneys. They like to
box Just for the sport of it.
The club. which has become one of
the most popular private groups in the
city, came into existence largely be-
cause Kent's mother found that an at
tic recreation room could be con-
verted into very satisfactory GYM
nasium. A punching bag in one part
OF the room, couch in the corner for
winded boxers and a spacious room
that was enough to make acceptable
club headquarters.
Organized late last fall. the club
meets twice a week. Members come
only if they want to. But that's
usually every time" according to Ben
Parran, is, son of Surg. Gen. Thomas
Parran, jr.. an enthusiastic member
of the club.
For An instructor the club has Capt.
A. G. Brooks. formerly of the British
merchant marine, who at one time
held an amateur boxing championship
in India. For his own amusement.
Capt. Brooks. who spent 20 years IN
the Orient, used to make a practice
of training Burmese boys in the art
OF boxing and occasionally he can be
persuaded to spin a yarn or two. but
not often. His young charges here are
too busy learning the art themselves
to spend much time in Just talking.
From the parents point of view the
boxing club is providing beneficial ex-
ercise and was especially good during
the winter months.
But the club members have slight
ly different viewpoint about the mat
ter.
One or two of them in the past have
been known to show up on occasions
with black eye But not these days.
We don't get in fights any longer

can box, most of the other boys are
afraid to pick fight these days." he

sister, Jean, found snail. She put
it in a little can. One day she dug
a hole in the ground and put the snail
in it to play with. but the snail crawled
up the side of the hole and when she
happened to sit down, she sat on the
snail and mashed it. She cried and
cried, but mother said that she would
find her another one.
This year while out playing found
a snail shell. I put it in my pocket
and didn't think any more about it.
MY mother had a miniature garden
with some snail shells in it. told her
about the shell I found and she said
to put 1t in the bowl. On day I was
looking at the plants in the miniature
garden and picked up the snail shell
I saw that there was snail in it and
in few days it came out Of its she'll
I'VE left 1t in the little bowl where
the plants were and one day We saw
big plant had been broken off. Later
we found out that the snail had eaten
1t of. put it in little dish with
some wet clay in it and we fed it on
lettuce. 1t certainly does eat a lot.
The other day mother saw that the
snail was quite busy over in a corner
OF the bowl. She didn't bother it. In
the next few days we saw that the
snail had dug hole and it was full
Of eggs. They are about three times
as large as pin head and whitish.
Il don't know how to take care of
the mother snail We thought that
maybe the eggs we're to be under the
ground and so put more dirt in the
bowl. The snail buried the eggs as
best 1t could. They haven't Matched
yet and as soon as they do I will write
and tell you all about it.
If any one who reads my story

WHEN THIS STATUE OF
HENRY CLAY WAS UNVEILED
MARCH 8, 1929, IN STATUARY
HALL A TRAIN LOAD OF KEN
TUCKIANS CAME TO WASH
INGTON TO HONOR THEIR
MUCH BELOVED STATESMAN.
THE STATUE Is BY c. H. ME-
HAUS, SCULPTOR.
WITH webster and Calhoun,
y" Henry Clay formed the great
triumvirate of what has been called
the golden age of American ora
tory. His gift for public speaking
and debate, combined with his per-
sonal magnetism. helped to make
him more popular with the people
as a whole than any of his con-
temporaries during his lifetime.
Though born in Virginia, on April
IL, 1777, Clay moved to Kentucky
when he was 81, apd his point of
view during his political career was
that Of the West. An active sup
porter of protection of home manu-
factures, his name is inseparably
linked with what he made known
as the American system"
Clay entered public life early,
was Secretary of State under Adams
and served for many years in Con-
gress. His long service as Speaker
of the House is a conspicuous part
Of his career; he was the first to
develop the possibilities of that po-
sition.
On the question Of slavery Clay
took the middle ground, pleasing
neither side. While he regarded
slavery as grievously wrong in prin-
ciple, he disliked and distrusted the
abolitionists and their propaganda.
His position between the two ex-
tremes, however. enabled him to

Egg and Bottle
In Maeic Trick
BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN


PERHAPS some of you readers will
recall having seen the trick that
am going to describe today, for it
was used at the Century of Progress
Exposition in Chicago several years
ago.
l saw it demonstrated there, and
While 1t was used by the show Just
10 draW crowd, it seemed to interest
the spectators a great deal. I'm now
passing 1t on 10 you with the sincere
hope that you have lots of fun per-
forming it.
Enect-The magician shows the
auoience an ordinary egg He also
passes for examination a milk bottle.
either quart or pint size.
He now announces that he intends
to put the egg into the milk bottle
without mutilating it in any way.
And although it looks impossible. since
the mouth of the bottle is much
smaller than the egg, the performer
does just as he has said, with the
greatest of ease.
Now that the egg is inside the
ootIle, now Is ne gong to get 1t Out?
That, too. Is quite simple! Just a
Whit and a poof and out rolls the egg
Explanation-The egg used in this
e1ect is one that has been boiled
until it is almost hard. The shell
IS then removed and you are ready
for the trick.
70 place the egg into the bottle
simply strike a match, drop it into
the bottle, and Immediately place
the egg on top. Naturally the match
will burn up all the oxygen in the
bottle, creating vacuum, which will
IN turn draw in the egg.
To remove the egg, just turn the
bottle upside down, blow into it and
the force of the air will send the
egg bounding out.

peach pie and there were several
peach stones left. I gave them to
my pet. He also liked pancakes very
much.

nAN started to walk again, but his
mind moved faster than his feet
did.
That's it. all right" he muttered.
First, Old Man Silver told Mr.. Roden
the building had been pronounced un-
safe. When Mr.. Roden didn't fall for
that and insisted on staying, Silver
hired the racketeers. That's why they
haven't done anything more than toss
a stencil bomb. and that's why they
haven't been back to collect That
fellow knew I recognized him the

Dan hardly said word to his moth
