CHILDREN A MEDIDN FOR WORLD PEACE Nrs. Emrich Describes New Priendship Bood With Nezico “We who desire peace must write it into the hearts of children” is the motto of the Committes on World Friendship among Children. “This metto translated into Spanish has been adopted also by the Mexican Committee on World Friendship among Children,” said Mrs. Jean- nette W. Emrich in her address to the Sunday Church School of the First Church of Christ on Sunday. Mrs. Emrich told of the misun. derstanding and suspicion toward the United States existing in the minds of many people in Mexico which was dispelled by the ava. lanche of 30,000 friendship school bags which were sent by the chil- dren in the United States to the children of our southern neighbor. *‘One scool teacher said to me, ‘We have heard a great deal about our enemies in the United States but we have not heard about the friends we have there.' Another Mexican teacher told me that they are now studying about the United States, its history, its accomplishments, its people and all in a friendly way. In fact so profound an impression has the triedliness and good will of peo- ple in America, expressed through friendship achool bags, made in Mexico that & course on Internation- “This is due entirely’ said made a regular part of the curri. culm of the primary schools of Mexice. ‘This is done entirely’ said Dr. Sasas, Mexico's minister of edu- cation, ‘to this friendship project from the United States.’ “On September 15th, 75,000 peo- ple were gathered in the great sta- dium in Mexico City; 4,000 Mexican boys and girls marched eight abreast down the center aisle of the stadium approaching the stand where President Calles presented a boy's bag to a representative Mex- ican boy and a girl's bag to a repre- semtative Mexican girl. During the presentation the crowds waved American flags and the band played the Star Spangled Banner.An Amer- ican who had been 18 years resident in Mexico City, upon seeing this démenstration, said to me, ‘Mrs. Emrich, you must not take this too much for granted. In all my years in Mexico I Rave never seen such & popular demonstration of good will and friéndliness toward the United . “Each friendship school bag con- talns six or more gifts, selected by the American children who filled the bags—pencils, handkerchiefs, toys, etc. But there were only enough bags for one bag for every fifty priwary school children in Mexico #® Bo ome person received a bag with ali its contents. The pupil in each school who had the highest ramk in both scholarship and de- portment wag awarded the bag. The pupil with next highest rank was permitted to reach in the bag and get one of the gifts, and so on until all were distributed. In one school even the wrapping paper and string, which had surrounded the bag for shipment to Mexico, were carefully sayed and divided up among the re. mgining children of the school so thet each pupil migh have some. thing from the boy and girl friends in the United States. In additien to the children’s gifts each bag had a picture of George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln amd also Mexico's great patriots, Hi- dalgoe and Juare:z; a picture also of the American Liberty Bell and of Mexico's Liberty Bell; a picture of Nisgara and of the great Mexican falls-Yuanactian; a picture of Lind. bergh and of Carranza who was Mexico's good will flyer and also loved by the boys and girls of Mex- {eo just as Lindbergh is loved hers. “The Mexicans have been so im- pressed by this manifestation of friendliness that they have now ol gasised a Committee on Worl Friendship among Children, both for the whole of Mexico and separate Committees in most of the Mexican states. Mexico already has under consideration plans for the return good will project to the children of America.” Mrs. Emrich is secretary of the Committee on World Friendship Among Children, with headquarters in New York, under whose auspices this Mexican project is being car. ried out. Mrs. Emrich spoke at a party for the beginners and primary departments of the First Congrega~ tional church on Saturday after- noon, and at the church school and the morning worship on Sunday morning. While in New Britain, Mrs. Emrich was the guest of Mrs. Samuel MeCutcheon of 48 Vine street.

[ {NORRISTOWN POLICE BAFFLED BY SLAYING Christmas Card and Bits of Photo- sreph Torm Up Ouly Olue Authorities Have Norristown, Pa., Nov. 19 P—A Christmas card inscribed “Nancy from Elvira” and bits of photo- graphs that had been torn into small pieces, were the only clues detectives had today in their search for the slayer of an unidentified woman. Apparently choked and then shot | through ‘the head, the girl's body. still warm, was found in & corn fleld near here yesterday about noon by Donenico Romenica, & farmer. Investigators said that an auto- mobile had started to enter the fleld from & lane about 200 yards| away, and that the slayers had then dragged the body the rest of the way to the spot where Romenica found it, lying face downward. Along the trail through the fleld detectives picked up a woman's pocketbook containing a Christmas card, a vanity case, gloves and a handkerchief. Near the body they found the scattered bits of photo- graphs which, pleced together as far as the recovered fragments would permit, showed the faces of three young women. ‘The slain girl was about 25 years old, § feet ¢ inches in height, and had chestnut hair and brown eyes. Her clothing included & blue feit hat, black broadcloth coat trimmed with black fur, blue satin dress, black pumps and flesh colored silk stockings. Investigators believe the young woman was killed some distance from the place where her body was found. ZALESKI FINED $3 FOR RECKLESSNESY Blamed for Injuries to Thres at Street Intersection A collision at the intersection of Washington and Myrtle streets on October 17, resulting in injuries to three pedestrians who were on their way to work, was aired before Judge H. P. Roche in police court today, and Joseph Zaleski, aged 26, of 413 East street was found guilty of the charge of reckless driving, a fine of $35 being imposed. Louis Prey, aged 26, of Allentown road, Bristol, who was driving & tryck south on Wash. ington street and figured in the col- lision with Zaleski, was fined $3 for driving without an operator’s license in his possession and $3 for driving without a certificate of registration in his possession, execution of the penalty being suspended. Officer Peter C. Cabelus and Ser- geant T. J. Feeney testified to con- ditions as they found them after the collision. Howard J. Wilcox of 31 ‘Woodruff court and Nellie Robinson of 2¢ Maple street, testified that they were on the sidewalk when they were struck by Zaleski's car and injured. Both were treated at New Britain General hospital, and Miss Robinson’s sister, Helen, who was the most seriously injured, left the hospital Nov. 11. She was not in| court. Zaleski testified that he was driv- ing West on Myrtle street at the ap- proximate rate of 12 to 13 miles an hour and had passed the center of the point of intersection when the truck struck the rear part of his car and swerved it into the gutter. Charlton Torello of 361 Church street, testified that he was driving behind Zaleski and was certain his own car was not going faster than 16 miles an hour because he looked at the spesdomoter four or five times from the corner of Main and Myrtle streets to the corner of Washington and Myrtle streets. Torelio and Prosecuting Attorney Woods were engaging in a “tit for tat” skit until Judge Roche interrupted to impress upon Torello that he had been called to testify, not to argue. *“And the same might be said to you, Mr. Woods,” he said to the prosecuting attorney. Joseph A. Gormley, who is employed in the same factory as are Torello and Zaleski, testified for the defense. Prey was represented by Attorney Hanrahan of Unionville, and testi. fied that at the time of the collision his truck was not moving faster than two miles hour. He blamed Zal- eski for the collision. Attorney Han- rahan asked that leniency be shown Prey, whose financial circumstances are poor, and who had neglected to have his license and certificate of registration in his possession at the time of the collision. Judge W. F. Mangan, representing Zaleski, maintained that the latter| was not guilty of reckless driving ac- cording to the evidence, but Judge Roche held that a case had been proven, not alone by the testimony of the witriesses but by the physical facts, and Zaleski's own testimony. Judge Mangan gave notice of an appeal to superior court in $100 bonds. | The accldent happened about 6:45 | in the morning, when factory em ployes were hurrying to work. Zal- eski was driving to work. Helen| Robinson sustained a fracture of the tkull and a broken collarbone, be- | sides other injuries and for several | days fears were entertained for her | recovery. | POPULATION ESTIMATES | Hartford, Nov. 19 (F)—The state ! board of education in its 1928 esti Imate of populations of the 189/ |towns will give New London 26,681 | people as compared with 26,261 a| |year ago: Norwalk 32,047 as com., pared with 31,186; Btamford 53.376 as compared with 52.701 and En. field 15,419 as compared with 15, 930.

In Moscow recently the head of a dog was resuscitated and kept alive on a plate for three hours after the body to which it once had been at- tached was dead and discarded. The detached head “‘barked” with pain an with pleasure, although no sound issued, the vocal cords having been severed. It opened and closed its eyes, which were as sensitive to light and touch as any other dog's. The bodyless head even swallowed food, despite the fact that there was no stomach for it to go into. The experiment was accomplished by the use of an “artificial heart”"— an intricate apparatus of steel and rubber—which pumped blood in to the dog's head. The blood, inci- dentally, was the same which in lite | had been pumped to the head by | & real heart. This artificial circulation of blood, which opens new vistas to the scien- tific world, is one of the experiments by which biologists and physicians of the Soviet union expect to estab- lish the possibility of resurrecting dead organisma. It was conducted by Drs. 8. 8. Brukhanenko and 8. I. Chechulin at the Moscow scientific chemical institute. After administering an anesthetic the dog’s head was severed carefully 80 as not to injure any part of the important blood vessels and nerves in the neck. The blood from the entire body had been pumped out previously and kept from congealing by means of chemical preparations. Artificial Heart The artifical heart then was at- tached to the open blood vessels and blood sent coursing through the head that seemed completely dead. Immediately there were signs of life. Full consciousness, however, did net return until the effects of the anes. thetic had worn off. Thereafter the head responded to the slightest touch. The reaction to pain or annoyance was so strong that it nearly wrenched the head from the mechanism that was keep- ing it alive. At the same time the mouth opened widely, baring the teeth, as if the dog were snarling amd howling. No sound, of course, issued. The tear glands in the eyes also functioned. The head also heard perfectly, | turning when called and being startled by loud sounds. A piece of cotton dipped in quinine quickly was | expelled from the mouth by the de- tached head; a piece of cheese, however, was swallowed, indicating the head was capable of tasting. “All these experiments,” Dr. Bruk- hanenko said, “prove that the or-| gans of sight, taste, etc.. are func- tioning—that is, the nature of the central nervous system of the de-| tached head was not changed much in conditions of artificial blood cir- culation. But the question whether the head actually “feels” cannot be answered 80 easily as whether it re- acts. It reacts to light, but we can- not decide whether it sces.” A similar experiment was per- which had been ‘dead” several hours. It was resuscitated by the re-injection of its own blood, and still is alive and apparently quite normal. SNOW STORMS ADD GREAT SUFFERING (Continued from First Page) drowned. Three other persons, one here and two in southeastern Kan- sas, had previously lost their lives. Relief Operations ! Relief operations here were well | organized yesterday as the swollen Blye river, which drove 300 families from their homes and caused big industrial property damage, returned to its banks. The victims were cared for in the city after having been warned not to return to their homes until sanitation measures had been effected. A coat of slimy mud which lay along the seven mile route of the river within the city limits was cak- ing under wintry winds today.

Northwest Missouri was mud- bound with 24 hours of intermittent wet snow following 36 hours of rain- fall that began Thursday night. Snow fell at Arkansas City where upwards of 100 homes are inundated and the homeless were being cared for in higher parts of the city. One hundred and fifty families are home. less at Augusta, Xansas where $500,000 damage was caused within the city alone, most of which was flooded. The Walnut and Whitewater rivers there were receding. One man was missing. Unveritied reports of two deaths came from Winfield, Kansas, where flooded dikes failed and the worst flood in nistory swept into the city. Town Without Water Ottawa, Kansas, one of the hardest hit town, remains without water or electric light service or fire protec- tion today. Water shipped there in tank cars has partially relieved the suffering. Paved highways between Kansas City and 8t. Louis have been re- opened, and rail service to Sedalia restored. The tloods followed 36 hours of nearly continuous rainfall which ranged in places up to 10 inches. The Texas Panhandle has felt the climatic disturbance with 6 inches of snow having fallen there since Friday.

But this time he goes, not as & fugitive from a leper's asylum, but with the benediction of the author- ities. The United States Public Health Service has announced that Early has *‘recovered” and will be released sometime this month from the National Leper Home in Car- ville, La. Ceremonies of happiness and re. membering the time when the bur- ial service was read ni English churches over a leper after the dread malady was discovered, those at the leper home atill suftering from the disease, will send Early out with cermonies symbolic of the joy of men once doomed who have in prospect a reprieve that seems lasting. Triumph of Medicine The public health aervice term's Early's case ‘another triumph in modern medicine,” Although he tears on his face and body scars of the disease, he is believed to be well. Periodic tests will be made but | there seems scant danger of a re- |1apse. The health service reports | that since 1921 only one leper dis- | charged from the Carville institu- tion as cured has suffered a recur- rence of the disease. During the last 16 months, 24 patients have been discharged from the leper home as men sownd and whole again. | Favorable Sentiment Although Early's frequent escapes | from institutions where he was con- fined caused vexation at the time, health authorities seem inclined to think that his absence without leave were for the best. They credit him with creating sentiment that aided in passing the law placing lepers un- der the care of the public health service and also credit him with helping keep the country aware of the fact that it had a leprosy prob- lem. The treatment of leprosy is tedi- ous, the health service said, and the injection of chaulmoogra oil, used in treating the malady, st one time caused excruclating pain. That might have had something to do with the mountaineer's flights from leper institutions. He made an unauthorized appear. ance in Washington in 1923 and registered at a downtown hotel but he caused his greateat stir in 1937 when he fled back to his old home near Tyron, North Carolina, and procured a rifie as insurance against more confinement. Residents of the section petitioned the surgeon gen- eral to suspend the federal law gov. erning the segregation of lepers and to let the man spend his days in self-imposed isolation in a section of the North Carolina hills. The pe- tition, habeas corpus procéedings and Early's rifie did not keep him from going back to Carvill Treatment Less Painful Treatment was resumed again but it was not as painfulsas it had been. Health service physicians had de- vised & way of mixing an anaesthe- tic with each dose of chaulmoogra oil. Early stayed and the health service in its announcement said he ‘now has his rewar Early s 54 years of age but the health service declared *he is.of rugged constitution and is expected to round out a full period of useful and happy old age.” . Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 19 (@ — John Early's successful fight against leprosy began here 17 years ago. The announcement from Washing- ton of his ‘“recovery” recalled to Tacomans the spectacular features of his removal from Tacoma to iso- lation at the marine detention hos- pital at Port Townsend, Wash., and subsequently his travels across the nation in a box car, from which he escaped in Kansas. Early was & Spanish-American war veteran and he told a Tacoma reporter who interviewed him at his farm 17 years ago that he had con- tracted leprosy while in Philippine service, Though the effects of the disease showed plainly on his body %ien, he was living with his wife and one or two small children, and was trying to work out an existence on a small farming tract. Revelation of his disease and con- dition caused a mass meeting here at which were discussed measures for his early removal to government care, The case attracted nation-wide attention, and many columns of | newspaper stories were printed.

So doctors are now advising home use of a pleas- ant hospital method that {s ac. complishing remarkably quick re- sults among numbers of people in New Britain and vicinity, yet is in- expensive and tempting to take. Praises Action of Doctors in Helping Public to End Colds Geo. H. Barry, for example, neglected his cold until it be- came so bad he had to call a doctor. Ex- amination showed that his nose and chest were congest- 2 ed and he had a fe- ver. Then the doctor advised dou- ble strength doses of Ayer's Pec- toral—a hospital certified medica- tion of wild cherry, terpin hydrate and other ingredients which hos- pital clinics have found to be the quickest and most effective to re e lieve congestion. Relief began almost ins By night the “feverish,” feeling began to leave and next morning he felt like a new man. In another day or so Mr. Barry dropped in to thank his doctor for advising such a quick, inexpensive and common-sense way to end colds at home. Tempting Taste! Relief— Soom Child Was Well as Ever Little Vivian Dodd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Dodd, was treated for a chest cold which caused her to become feverish and cough so she could not sleep. 8he found Ayer's Cherry Pec- toral tempting to take and fely, the comforting, healing warmth — from her nose passages deep R down into her chest.
