Figure 1 indicates the mast to which all sails are attached, and figure 2 shows the spreaders, or braces by which the mast is strengthened. Others are: (3) the forestay; (4) mainsail; (5) main boom; (6) fore staysail; (7) jib. Other sails frequently used are jib topsails of various sizes, set high between the forestay and mast, the large Genoa jib, and the equally large spinnaker. The latter, which is used for running before the wind, is used on the side opposite the mainsail and is held straight out in similar fashion by a boom from the mast. | MILLIONAIRE SEEKS ARTIFICIAL EDEN mofl of his fortune to any couple | ~ho will seriously foliow the. plan.

He explained that since he viished closely to watch the experi- have a couple con- genial to live with. Hammer's advertisements, brought a deluge of replies, read in part as follows: “An elder American, and consider- is anxious to find a Russian couple (husband between 30 and 45 vear of age), childless, well bred and superior education. A knowledge of English is essential. Applicants should be in good health. of aver- age height and weight, jovial, and of an agrecable physique. The couple who can tions will have their present and future well provided for. Their work will consist of a friendly col- laboration in the development and diffusion of a new theory for the moral and physical rehabilitation of humanity.” May Live 200 Years Hammer now says that he would not sbject if the couple had a child, normal and healthy, of about Hammer fells his ap- plicants that he is convinced his system will not only permit man- d to live two or three hundred but to approximate immor- 18. Dr. Juvenal Kotchetov, Russian theosophist. who has been acting for Hammer here, also believes in the theory. “Modern manners of existence kave much to do with the short of years nowadays,” he said. rhvthm of the body cells is clogged by the present day style of living, and therefore life is ab- breviated. The consumption of fiesh and highly seasoned foods is responsible for muh cell destruc- tion. “Physiological studies made by Mr. Hammer tend to show that xistence may be lengthened to a minimum of 1G0 vears, and this done with healthy, well- persons, even though they previously lived under the regime of this time. He born have usual For 20 minutes | hes to test the theory that is a preservation of the body cells and to bring man back to the longevity natural to the structure of the human body.” Hammer says that when he finds a couple who can meet re- quirements he plans to start the experiments on a farm outside of St Louis and, after a few months, continue them at a seaside resort, either in Florida or California. “I may seem pretentious, but I have long studied this theory Legion Gives “Fidac” to Library At N.
