E. S. Clarkson is general chairman in charge of the campaign. Organization work preparatory to the launching of the campaign has been under way for some time. The campaign for $100,000, it Is stated, will be the first step in the es- tablishment of the $1,500,000 four-year sel college to accommodate 1,000 Lutheran girl students. Althouzh owning 45 colleges, sem- inarics and academies throughout the country, the United Lutheran Church, consisting of 3,900 churches, totaling 908,000 members, does not now have a four-year college for women, it is stated. In pting the honorary chairman- ship, Mrs. Davis said: “I consider it a ?nvflege to have a part in helping to ound this college, so vitally needed by our Lutheran girls. I have three girls of my own, and it is my hope that when the day comes that they are ready for college this Lutheran College for Wom- en will have been built and they may attend it.” The nine Eastern Synods of the United Lutheran Church have voted to co-operate in founding a worthy Luth. eran college for women. This has sulted in Lutherans of Washington of- fering a site for the college to cost ap- oximately $100,000. The college has een incorporated under Maryland laws. MICHAEL, BOY KING, OPENS BANK ACCOUNT Deposits Gift From Retiring Cab- inet Tendered by Premier on His Name Day. By the Assoclated Press. BUCHAREST, Rumania, November 26.—King Michael, who reached the age of 7 a month ago, today opened his first bank account. He deposited a check for 200,000 lei, which members of the retiring Bratianu cabinet gave him as a personal gift on his name day. This would amount to approxi- mately $1,200 if converted into Ameri- can money. Michael is able to read and write and sign his own name. The law, how- ever, does not allow him, as a minor, to draw checks. Therefore the present fund, and any deposits which he may add to it, must remain intact until he ;ggcshes his majority on October 25, Although he may not spend his own money, there is no such restriction on his official funds. So today 500,000 lei were taken out of his civil list to pur- chase shoes, clothing, food, books and toys for tiny destitute bov’s and girl's of the kingdom. The King was in- structed that this action should remind him never to forget the misery and sor- row of the poor. When the cavinet gift was made to bim, Premier Bratianu delivered a speech in which he expressed the hope that Michael would be a good boy. studious in_school. obedient to his mother, loyal to” th> State and in all other respects as brave and great as Rumania’s first King Michael.

IWAGE LEVEL TOPS | BYEAR RECORD Industrial Conference Board Report Shows 6 Per Cent More Workers. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 26.—The National Industrial Conference Board announced yesterday that the incomes of industrial wage earners in the United States this Fall reached their highest level since 1920, while employment in manufacturing attained its highest point since April, 1927. The board’s figures, based on reports from approximately 1,500 manufacturing | establishments employing about 800,000 workers in 25 different industries, in- dicated that in September weekly and hourly earnings per worker showed an increase in 18 industries with an average \increase in weekly earnings, in the 25 ‘reporting industries, of 41 cents over the August figures. , The report showed 6 per cent more workers employed than at the low point in November, 1927, and the number of lr:urs worked increased by 10.8 per dent. There was a lesser gain in each case over August, 1928. The industries in which weekly and hourly earnings increased were agricul- tural implements, automobiles, boots and choes, chemicals, cotton (in the North), hbsiery and knit goods, iron and steel, leather tanning, meat packing, paint ahd varnish, paper products, rubber, silk, foundry and machine shops, ma- chines and machine tools, heavy equip- ment hardware and small parts. In news and magazine printing a slight decrease in weekly earnings was noted. ¢ The outstanding phenomenon in the labor situation, the board reported, is “the marked stability of wage rates and earnings, which since 1923 have fluctuat- ed less than 5 per cent and during the current year have shown a slightly in- clining trend.” DRUG ADDICT BLAMED IN ATTACK ON GIRL Forced Her to Take Pills of Un- known Composition, She Tells Police.

Dead Man Brought Back to Life; Tests, Too Ghastly, Halted Scientists Report Restora- tion of Heart and Lung Action. BY _WILLIAM BIRD. By Radio to The Star. PARIS, November 26.—Scientific ex- periments that cast a weird light on the problem of life and death have recently been performed in Moscow, ac- cording to information obtained from the Soviet embassy here today. It is revealed that Russian scientists have perhaps come closer than any others to penetrating the mystery of death and therefore to finding remedies against it. Experiments Successful. Previously, Prof. Kravkov had kept a rabbit's ear alive in a salt solution. ‘Thereunon, it was proposed to do the same thing with a heart and experi- ments were undertaken which met with complete success. Prof. Kulabko, with the aid of specially constructed apparatus, first succeeded in making the heart beat in Subsequently, the same savant re- stored heart beats to the body of a child who had been pronounced dead. ‘The most extraordinary experiments, however, were conducted by Prof. An- dreyev, according to Soviet embassy officials. He first took a dead dog and by injecting a special solution into its cartoid artery not only brought normal pulsations back to the heart but actu- ally revived respiration in the lungs. Encouraged by this success, Prof. An- dreyev next experimented on a human corpse. Similar results were obtained. The heart began beating and the Iungs functioned. Effect Is Ghastly. “A kind of death rattle came from the corpse’s throat,” Prof. Andreyev re- ported. “The effect was so ghastly that I did not dare continue the experi- ments.” Other results of Soviet scientists’ ex- periments, received through unofficial sources here, tell of a dog’s body being made to breathe after decapitation, and of a dog’s head being made to function after it had been severed. It is said also that Soviet experimenters have been able to awaken signs of life in a de- capitated human corpse. Revolting as such experiments may be to the lay mind, scientists here be- lieve they may have capital importance in solving the riddle of life, and ex- g!nlnlng away many hitherto mysterious lological problems.

Grants Anderson Time to Study Pere Marquette Data. By the Assoclated Press. ¢ An unexpected adjournment of the | Interstate Commerce Commission hear- jings on the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail- road’s application to complete its pur- chase of control of the Pere Marquette system, resulted today when proceedings opened. Herbert Fitzpatrick, counsel for the Chesapeake & Ohio, introduced a large volume of statistical data, and Henry W. Anderson, attorney for minor- ity stockholders opposing the C. & O. program, obtained a day's time to study the exhibit. Proceedings will resume tomorrow. A new element in the long fight of the Chesapeake & Ohio to extend its lines by purchase of. other railroads was thrown Em the case before adjourn- ment today when several Government and business organizations obtained permission to intervene as supporters of the rallroad’s application. ~The | Public Service Commission of West Vir- ginia, the Charleston, W. Va., Chamber of commerce, the Logan Coal Opera- tors' Association of the same State, the Virginia Citizens' Committee and a citizens’ committee of Richmond, Va., were included among the intervenors. ‘While the present move of the Chesa- peake & Ohio Railroad represents one phase of the operations headed by O. F. and M. J. Van Sweringen of Clevelal to consolidate trunk line railroads, only details of the pending project are in- volved. The Chesapeaké & Ohio now holds authority from the commission to buy control of the Pere Marqustte, but is seeking :pecific permission to pay $133.33 per share for a large block of Pere Marquette stock now owned by the Nickel Plate railroad. In addition, the C. & O. is asking the commission to allow it to finance the Pere Marquette stock purchase by issuing new stock of its own to its present stockholders at $100 per share, instead of issuing such new stock at $150 per share as the commission di- rected in its first decision.
