4 EPROSY, that dread dis
ease Of paradise" which has
~ ravaged half of the worlds
beauty spots since the begin
ming Of time, has added a chapter
10 its history by introducing the
first telephone will case In the
annals Of legal bequests.
Four hundred witnesses pre-
sided over by a probate court
Judge OF the Department of
Resht. Iran. a few weeks ago,
signed the Will of an occupant
Of a neighboring leprosorium on
the Caspian Sea. The patient
was nowhere near the courtroom.
His testimony was dictated over
telephone lines connected with
loudspeaker in the chamber OF
justice.
Realizing that death was near,
Alcast Novice, an lS-year-old boy,
heir 10 a small fortune, recently
asked attendants in the lepro-
sorium to summon his attorney
TO execute his will. The maker,
who although only IS, had the
appearance of man of 80, and
physicians had told him that
death was inevitable.
No attorney in all Resht, how
ever, could be found who would
agree TO 60 TO the institution TO
draw UP will. Novice was
panic stricken. His one wish
was to bequeath his entire for
tune 10 an old aunt who, during
the years Of his exile, had visited
him. He feared selfish relatives
who had Stunned him might OBJ
tain his property.
Leprosorium officials advised
Novice TO write his will and have
it witnessed by an attendant.
Novice, however, feared that his
legal knowledge was insufficient
TO draw a legal document. He
tried first TO write his will and
send It to an attorney for ad-
vice. But the lawyers Of Resht
refused to touch anything COM
ing from the leprosorium. The
pathetic case came TO the atten-
ton of famous judge, Cuma
Vacru, long respected for his
tempering of justice with mercy
and whose record is filled with
Solomon-like decisions.
Judge Vacru sent word to
young Novice that there was a
solution TO his problem-a solu-
ton that would protect Novlee's

taken in the Los Angeles County
Museum, show how the scientists
go about the painstaking job of
putting together the birds of pre-
historic time. Some idea Of their
tremendous task can be gotten
from the fact that museum work
ers have assembled and cata-
logued over 100000 different bird
bones.
The job of classifying these
different types of bones belongs
to DR.. Hildegarde Howard, the
museums curator of avian pale
ontology. To date, she and her
associates have found bones of
10 different kinds of birds, Of
which 1S are now extinct.
A craftsman in mounting these
bones into complete skeletons is
Eugene J. Fischer, osteologist,
who restores the damaged ones
with papier mache, constructs
missing limbs, strings the YER
tebrae on wire frames, and clev-
erly works out the birds natural
stances.
The popular theory as to why
there is the vast accumulation
of bird and mammal bones at the
La Brea pits is that the tar was
camouf1aged by a covering of
dust or water Prehistoric birds,
looking for food, quickly became
trapped as foot or wing tip

as dangerous today as it was
thousands Of years ago. Once
part Of a man or animal Is
caught, escape is practically i'm
possible except with outside help.
Struggling only hastens the suck
ing action of the viscous asphalt.
II was only a few years ago
that a yoingster playing in Los
Angeles Hancock Park, the site
OF the pits, fell into one of the
pools of oil and asphalt. He had

of milk. He could live even
more cheaply if he could keep
his own cow.
Before 1881, the Washington
man was a heavy eater. But he
now touches no water, alcohol
or other foods and lives just as
happily.
Mr.. Satz said he began his
milk diet to overcome chronic
i'll health. Because he felt bad
he decided to forego food for a
few days. At the end of that
time he felt so good he made
up his mind TO stick to milk a
while longer" The days stretched
into months, the months into
years and the years into more
than a decade but he still isn't
tired of il. He never has colds,
headaches, or other pains of any
kind, he says.
Last summer, he was confined
TO n hospital, but, he hastens to
explain, 1t was for an operation
that he had needed for 25 years
and not because of his milk
drinking. He recuperated quickly
Mr. Satz is living proof of what
nutrition experts have said fol
years-that milk contains all the
necessary vitamins and calories
However, most of them urge
that it be used with other foods
to insure a wholesome diet.

A Man Who Lives on Milk

A MAN who has been living
~ on nothing except plain
Y v sweet milk for the past
~ years and is stronger and
healthier today than most young
er men who gobble up a wide
variety of edibles every day is
creating quite a stir in medical
and Government circles in Wash
ington. d. c., where food short
ages are the talk Of the day.
This individual is Abraham
Satz, 73-year-old retired whole
saler, who feels so spry these
days because of his liquid diet
that he is trying TO get into some
kind of war work.
The septuagenarian started his
milk diet-four quarts of it a
day in 1881, after he had retired
as a wholesale paper bag dealer
in New York City, and he is
frank to say that he has eaten
nothing else since. He warns his
milk before consuming it.
His first quart is served at
eight a. IN. Another comes at
noon, one at four p. m. and the
last for the day at eight p. m,
He says that milk always satis-
fies his hunger, although some-
times he wants more than just
one quart for a meal.
Mr.. Satz spends exactly 81
tcents a day for food-in the form

asphalt.
All kinds OF feathered crea-
lures - storks, ducks, geese,
cranes, quail, eagles, condors, vul-
lures, hawks, falcons, and others,
have been found. The flesh-eat-
ing types were undoubtedly at
tracted to the pits TO dine upon
the defenseless animals already
caught in the deathtrap.
In addition to the birds. the
La Brea pits have yielded the
bones of so species Of mammals.
Enough bones to reconstruct over
1000 lions. coyotes, bears, wolves,
sabre-tooths, and foxes have been
removed.
The biggest unsolved mystery
of the La Brea deathtrap is that
of a human skull, found among
the prehistoric bones. The logi-
cal explanation seems to be that
1t probably belonged to an Indian
who was trapped in recent times
and sucked to the depths by the
movement Of the tar.
But the fact that the skull
was found among prehistoric
bones has led to some interesting
conjectures, all of which raise
the possibility that beasts lin
gered in the California region
long after paleontologists think
they were extinct. or that the
skull dates back a lot further
than the anthropologists believe.
Detroit evening times., 1943-02-07

FOR 100000 years now, the
worlds weirdest deathtrap--
the La Brea tar pits in Los
Angeles, California-haye sucked
down a vast assortment OF strug-
Cling animals, trapping them like
quicksand.
In these pools OF oil and as
phalt. scientists have found,
from year 10 year the fossilized
remains Of sabre-tooth tigers,
gigantic birds, mastodons, huge

wolves and sloths, and hundreds
OF different prehistoric animals.
The pits. which date from
early Pleistocene times, or APP
proximately a half million years
ago. provide paleontologists with
a unique record of the passing
show OF Americas wild life. The
tar has kept the bony struc-
lures in a perfect state of pres
ervation.

LIFE INSURANCE AGENT

but a substantial part OF the money
he pays for such protection is invest
ed by his Company in United States
Government Bonds. Since Pearl Har-
Dor. the life insurance companies of
America have added nearly $1,000
100000 to their holdings of United
States Government securities mon
ey that is going for tanks, planes, guns
and other war equipment. In addi-
ton, life insurance agents sell War
Stamps as part of Observation-Disclosures.
Thus, through the life insurance
agent, Americans have found way
to accumulate life insurance funds
which have not only helped make
America what it is, but are now help
ing to pave the way for Victory.
Detroit evening times., 1943-02-07

AMERICA has always been known as
IA nation of individualists From
the very founding of this country, we
have insisted upon our inherent right
to live our own lives and to plan our
own futures.
Out of this demand for individual
planning has grown the institution
of American life insurance. Through
this Americans have provided for
themselves and their loved ones
greater measure of individual fnan-
cial security than has ever been known
before. In fact, we Americans, repre-
senting only 7ct of the worlds pop
ulation, own more than 7Oct of the
worlds life insurance.
In keeping with American individ-
ualism. life insurance itself is indi-
vidualized- tailored To- fit the hopes
and ambitions, the needs and income
Of each policyholder. And each fam
ily's insurance program, shaped ac-
cording to it, own particular needs,
has been made possible by the untir-
ing work of the life insurance agent.
1t is the agents who teach people
10 understand and appreciate the ben
efts Of life insurance. Through their
efforts, in times of peace, agents
helped some $4,000, 900 Americans to
take advantage Of the flexible, indi-
vidualized service characteristic OF

and more than 1000 persons

At the time set by the judge
for Novice TO broadcast his will,
court stenographers seated them
selves at tables under a loud

an apparatus for making tran
scriptions of the proceedings.

In wartime, this service takes on new
and more important meaning. The
agents work is a major contribution
to the morale of our fighting men
overseas, for millions of them know
that, through life insurance their fam
lies back home are cared for no mat
ter what happens.
The agents work i'm wartime also
helps prevent initiation. He helps
people with excess earnings To- invest
part of such earnings in life insur-
ance. This keeps excess funds from
competing for consumer goods and
helps hold down prices.
Life insurance bought today serves

vides protection for the policyholder

Alexandria 10 Weiqh
Duration BuiIdinQ
Council Meets Tuesday
On Waving Of Code

Revision of the city building code
to permit construction of temporary
buildings for the duration is slated
to be discussed by the Alexandria
City Council Tuesday night.
A chief reason for revising the
code is to permit construction of
the addition to the Alexandria
Hospital, which because of War
Production Board rulings on the
use of strategic materials, will vary
in minor degree from the type of
construction prescribed by the build
ing code.
IN addition, the council has re-
ceived applications for permits to
waive the code for construction of
temporary buildings by firms doing
unprecedented wartime business.
Passage of an ordinance to abate
the smoke nuisance also is likely.
Representatives of various civic
groups have been invited to discuss
the subject.
City Manager Carl Budwesky said
he expected to advise the council
that, in his opinion, it is not neces-
sary to adopt new blackout ordi-
nance for the city to conform with
the new Army regulations, since the
blackout can be enforced under the
State order recently issued by Gov
Darden.
The only difference under the
present setup is that blackout viola
tions must be prosecuted by the
commonwealth rather than by the
city attorney, but Mr. Budwesky does
not feel that this justifies the ex-
pense Of publication and printing Of
the ordinance as a city regulation.
