At the same time five other gir^ equally pretty and promi nent, received the same number of kisses, on an average. The girls disposed of ten thousand kisses at $1 each to aid the endow ment of Salem Hospital, which has just been completed.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Thirty-two persons died in Fourth of July cele brations this year, fewer than in any year since statisticians began record ing the death toll of fireworks. Figures gathered by the Journal of the American Medical Association compared this total to that of 466 in 1903, the first year the association counted the victims. Of this year’s victims, thirteen, most of them little girls, were burned to death when their clothing caught fire. Two of these accidents were caused by supposedly harmless "snapper” matches. The non-fatal injuries this year were 1,311, as against 3,983 in 1903. MILWAUKEE, Sept. 6.—The Mil waukee Roosevelt Guards have changed their name to the Milwaukee Hebrew, guards, but the decision was reached only after a prolonged and bitter debate. * "Roosevelt? Say, he’s a dead one now,” declared the anti-Roosevelt members, and then they proceeded to argue that it was all right to name the guards for him when he was President, but after his retirement to private life it was making a po litical and factional organization of the only Hebrew military company in the West to retain the name. The vote was about 20 to 1, but the minority made a gallant fight.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 6.—Edward Hicks, a probation officer, was ap pointed special master of spanking by Judge Seehorn in the Juvenile Court today. Mr. Hicks, in pursu ance of his duties, went to the home of Charles Lyle, and witnessed a spanking, in which Charles Lyle was the spanker and Charles Lyle, Jr., the spanked. Judge Seehorn created the new office after hearing the story as told by Mr. Lyle and the boy. Charles, Jr., has the habit of running away from home. He has been brought into court two or three times on the same charge, . , NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—The earlier experiments upon the preservation of life in animal tissues after removal from the gross organism have set Dr. Alexin Carrel at the Rockefeller In stitute at the threshold of a yet more important discovery. These experi ments established the facts that not only could connective tissue be pre served permanently in a condition of active life, but that under certain eas ily controlled conditions growth could take place. In Dr. Carrel’s laboratory cells have been proliferating rapidly for more than sixteen months after their re moval from the organism of which they had formed a part. Hitherto al! tissue when removed from the ani mal organism has been meat; these researches establish the fact that such tissue may continue to grow indefi nitely. As this discovery became more fa miliar to the investigator it was dis covered that a constant relation ex isted between the rate of growth of the cell and the composition of the medium in which it is preserved. This fact, Dr. Carrel now announces in The Journal of Experimental Medi cine, indicated that certain cell phe nomena of the higher animals, such as multiplication, growth and senility, might now be investigated profitably. At first blocked by lack of proper method, this investigation has now become possible through the discovery of a technique which permits strains of connective tissue to multiply in definitely In the test tubes, like micro organisms. May Postpone Death. A distinct character of the progress reports which Dr. Carrel presents is simplicity and directness. How each successive item of this investigation may be adjusted to the scheme of life in general is nowhere set forth; it is left entirely to inference; it is entire ly a matter of interpretation of some obscure hint. In the report now Issued it may be taken that the mention of senility Is intended to foreshadow an ultimate object of this line of profound study. That would seem to mean that this re search is advancing toward the dis covery of some means of postponing the approach of old age. But Dr. Carrel says nothing of the sort. He confines himself to a rigidly detailed statement of this series of experiments. He describes in terms of absolute accuracy the source of j the cells upon which his research has been based; he describes the medium in which they have been preserved; he gives working directions which will enable other students to repeat the treatment to which the specimens have been subjected. All this detail is very recondite; it is information which will Interest only those stu dents of higher physiology who may seek to check this experiment by con trol tests performed independently The results of this series of re searches have the interest that thev prove conclusively that Dr. Carrel has taken yet one more step toward the goal of his inquiry. His earlier reports established the sufficiently startling fact that the death of the gross organism by no means entailed the simultaneous death of the com ponent parts. In effect his earlier conclusion was that the animal might die. but the cells of which the animal was composed died in a fecondary sense only by the failure to supply the culture medium which supported their individual life. The first conclusion reached was the proof of life after death, the survival of the cell. Time Has No Effect. The later Investigation has estab lished a knowledge of the character istics of the growth of connective tis sue. This has led to a new result, the indefinite proliferation of a strain of connective tissue cells outside of the organism. The strain of connective tissue originally obtained from a fragment of chicken embryo heart, which had been pulsating in the test tube for 104 days, was still actively alive after sixteen months of inde pendent life and more than 190 pas sages. The rote of proliferation of the connective tissue sixteen months old equalled and even exceeded that of fresh connective tissue taken from an eight-day-old embryo. “It appears, therefore.” Dr. Carrel reports in summation, “that time has no effect on the tissues isolated from the organism and preserved by means of the technique described. During the sixteenth month of life in vitro the cells Increased rapidly in number and were able in a short time to pro- Bare Legs in Poster Stir Oregon Women Temperance Union Protests Against a Portola Festival Advertisement Depleting Half-Nude Dancer.

BOSTON, Sept. 6.—That the United States has not thoroughly digested the lessons taught by wars of the past and that its refusal to digest such lessons is the cause of the present state of unpreparedness for war is the opinion of Brigadier General Phillip A.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 6.—Arbitrary Mr. Victoriano Huerta, it seems, is going to listen to reason at last. As surances that he will not be a candi date for re-election, that he will keep good faith with the United States in all his promises, that he will give every effort at his command toward the safety of American citizens in Mexico, have gone out from the Mexi can capital to Washington. All this embodies a complete change of front overnight. Only a day or two ago Huerta seemed recalcitrant, defying the authority of the United States, even to announcing his inten tion of running for President in Oc tober. This announcement was made in direct contravention of the wishes of the American Government, which has been insistent that he be not a candidate. Huerta and any govern ment that smack of Huerta, according to the message borne from Washing ton, is not acceptable to the United States. 1 But now Huerta has begun to make overtures. Manuel de Zamacona, former Ambassador from Mexico to the United States, is on his way to Washington, where he will serve as the personal representative of Provi sional President Huerta, much as John Lind is the personal representative of President Wilson. Thus would Huerta try to make his peace with the powers of the northern republic. Huerta at Last Awakes. Feeling certain that President Wil son is opposed to his government, Huerta is endeavoring to plead for himself. The United States stead fastly has refused to recognize the Huerta regime, but Special Envoy de Zamacona is invested with the mission of urging the necessity of recognition, in order that the best in terests of both Governments be con served. It is believed here in the capital that President Huerta is beginning at last to see the value of American good will. Americans will be safe in Mexico, is the announcement which went out from his offices yesterday. Even in case of American intervention, he promised, Americans and American property would be safe if efforts of the Mexican Government could render them safe. Those Americans who de sire to leave may have special trains to the ports, and those without money will be supplied the difference be tween the cost of passage in the steer age and in any other class of travel which they aspire. President Hu-* erta becomes gracious. Good Will Is Assured. Nelson O’Shaughnessy, Charge d’Affaires of the American Embassy, has received a number of oral assur ances of the good will of the Mexi- an Government, and the prospect is held out that peace in Mexico is not far away. It is believed here that the officials In Washington are \ooking forw’ard to an early negotiation of an armistice by the Mexican factions and the early holding of a constitutional election. This fair and safe election President Huerta also has promised. However, in spite of all these pa cific declarations and friendly over tures, many Americans are suspicious. Mexican newspapers have frankly launched a boom for Huerta’s candi dacy, and there are many who be lieve Huerta soon will resign as Pro visional President in favor of General Trevino, that he may be eligible to run for re-election in October. The suspicions are confined mostly to a minority of American residents in Mexico, most of them, together with the Government at Washington, be ing ready to accept as genuine the assurances that come officially from the Mexican capital.
