WOULD RISK LIVES
TO ASSIST SCIENCE
Scores Offer Selves for Tests
to Revive Dead-
Berkeley, Calif.—Scores of men,
women and young people of America
are not afraid to risk their lives in the
cause of scientific research, nor to give
their lives should science fail.
Dr. Robert E. Cornish, young
Berkeley scientist, who achieved world¬
wide fame in bringing back to life
“Lazarus IV,” a terrier experimentally
put to death In a laboratory, revealed
he has received such letters from near¬
ly every state in the Union.
The offers began to deluge him
shortly after he had attempted to
gain permission from the governors
of three western states to apply his
resuscitation methods to a criminal im¬
mediately after his execution by gas.
Permission Refused.
Permission was refused by the gov¬
ernors. But if Doctor Cornish wishes
a human body for experimentation lie
has only to pick and choose from
names in a bulging letter file.
Amazing as these offers sound, sin¬
cerity shines from most of them.
From a medical man in California:
“If you wish a subject for experi¬
mentation, I will offer myself in any
way you suggest for science.”
From a man in the Bronx, New
York:
“I have been reading in the papers
about your dead dog. ... I am will¬
ing to take the dog’s place, to let you
put me to death and bring me back
to life again. If you fail it will be
my hard luck.”
Nothing to Lose.
From a West Virginia youth of twen¬
ty-two ;
“I was wondering If you could use
me to experiment with. I’ve got noth¬
ing to lose and there is nothing to
hold me.”
From a former wealthy society wom¬
an of California:
“If you can arrange to put In trust
$5,000 for each of my children I will
submit to your experiment. I’ve got
to make good to my children.”
From a girl in Brooklyn, N. Y.:
"I have always wanted to do some¬
thing good for humanity. I will offer
myself for your experiment, but I must
be assured my mother will be cared
for the rest of her life.”
So went the letters—scores and
scores of them. They are still com¬
ing. None of the offers have been ac¬
cepted.
Teach Horses to Dance
in Real Pony Ballet
Boston.—Tiiis town has recently be¬
come so enthusiastic about horses that
now certain favored individuals of the
equine species are being sent to danc¬
ing school. This, too, is being done
without any thought of these nags
graduating into a circus from the
everyday canters of life.
In brief, 16 horses of the mounted
patrol will do a “soft-shoe” dance for
the edification of the police commis¬
sioner. The term is easily explained.
These horses have been prancing and
keeping time to music at the head of
parades for years. “Why not teach
them some regular waltzes?” asked
SergL Edward B. Kane, in charge of
the mounted division.
Training of these animals for the
dance had not progressed far when
it was discovered, quite accidentally,
that horses dance better without shoes.
All 16 members of this genuine “pony-
ballet” will complete their dance drills
without shoes, and thus qualify for
all the Intricacies of the art before
putting on their show for the police
commissioner.
Lots of Room Left for
Human Race on Earth
Eugene, Ore.—The earth is a long
way from over-population yet, accord¬
ing to Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor
of geography and geology at the Uni¬
versity of Oregon.
Doctor Smith says that science Is
now able to compute that the world
would support some 5,500,000,000 peo¬
ple, more than twice as many as it
now supports. The estimate of 2,024,-
286,000 is generally accepted as a fair¬
ly accurate total of the present popu¬
lation. The five billion figure is pos¬
sible, however, he says, only with care¬
ful planning and development of re¬
sources.
Among other findings in Doctor
Smith’s recent survey are: That birth
control and birth selection are impera¬
tive if a high plane of civilization is
to he maintained; that the tropics are
now the great goal of the whites; and
that brunette whites will probably
dominate the earth in time.
Strange Waters Puzzle
Fish From Caribbean
Atlantic City, N. J.—Slightly bewil¬
dered in the strange waters, a unique
fi S h—peristedion finiatum—whose hab¬
itat is in the Caribbean sea, was
caught off shore with little trouble
Carroll 3. Atkinson, a local ich¬
thyologist, Identified the fish. It had
a weird appearance, seemingly to rep¬
resent a cross between a modern
armored tank and a fabled Chinese
dragon. When it was captured the
fish was colored blood red, but grad¬
ually lost its brilliant hues.
White Hen Pheasant Seen
South Charleston, Ohio.— A pure
white pheasant, one of the rarest of
game birds, was reported seen at close
range near here by three persons.

peter heals a lame man
UF.SSON TEXT—Acts 3:1-10; 4:8-12,
(;< IldEN TEXT—Then Peter said,
Silver and gold have I none; but such
„s I have give I thee: In the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and
walk—Acts 3:6.
PRIMARY TOPIC—How Peter Helped
a Lame Man.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Peter Carrying on
Jesus* Work.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—A Helping Hand.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC— Gifts That Are Better Than Money.
In the teaching of this lesson It will
he necessary to include all the material
in Acts 3:1 to 4:31. .
I. Peter Healing the Lame Man (Acts
3:1-10).
1 . The place (vv. 1. 2). It was at
the gate called Beautiful, which leads
from the outer to the Inner court of
the temple.
2. The man (v. 2). This beggar was
infirm from his birth. When he saw
Peter and John, he asked alms.
3. The method (vv. 3-8).
a. Gaining the man’s attention (v.
4 ). Peter and John commanded him to
look on them, but not because they had
any power within themselves.
b. Peter commanded him in the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise and
walk (v. 0). He had been unable to
do this all his life, but with the com¬
mand went the ability to do.
c. Peter took him by the right hand
(v. 7). This act was meant to give
impetus to his faith, not strength to
his ankles.
4. The man's response (v. 8).
Strength came into his feet and ankle
bones at once. He stood, he walked,
he leaped, and praised God.
5. The effect (vv. !)-ll). The people
vere filled with amazement.
a. This helpless beggar had to be
carried to the temple gate. Men and
women out of Christ are so helpless
that they need to be brought where the
life of God can be applied to them.
b. Peter, In taking the man by the
hand, shows the manner of helping the
lost While ministers and Sunday
school teachers of themselves have
nothing to give to tiie lost, they have
the dispensing of the gospel of Christ.
II. Peter Witnessing Before the Mul-
titude (3:12-26).
He told them it was faith in Jesus
Christ, whom God had glorified and
whom they had deliberately betrayed
and crucified, that had healed this man.
Despite their awful guilt, he appealed
to them to repent (v. 19). God would
pardon them if they would repent, and
refreshing seasons would come to them
when God should send back Jesus
Christ to the earth to consummate the
work of redemption.
III. Peter in Prison for Christ’s Sake
(4:1-4).
1. The leaders In this persecution
(vv. 1, 2). Both priests and Sadducees
joined in this wickedness. The priests
were intolerant because these new
teachers were encroaching upon their
functions. The Sadducees Joined the
priests because they did not believe In
the resurrection, which was a vital part
of the apostolic teaching. ,»
2. The result (vv. 3, 4). Peter and
John were arrested and Imprisoned.
Though the witnesses were held in
bondage by chains, Christ was not
bound. The number of believers had
greatly Increased, so that there were
now about five thousand.
IV. Peter Witnessing Before the
Sanhedrin (4:5-22).
1- The Inquiry (vv. 5-7). They in¬
quired as to by what power and name
they had wrought this miracle.
2. Peter’s answer (vv. 8-12). With
stinging sarcasm he showed them that
they were not on trial as evildoers, but
for doing good to the helpless and
needy man. Since they could not deny
the miracle, he boldly declared that it
had been done in the name of Christ,
and that the only way for them to es¬
cape God’s judgment was to believe on
his name.
Ihe impression upon the San¬
hedrin (vv. 13-22),
a- They marveled (vv. 1-13). They
were made conscious that they were on
!, ia! instead of sitting as judges upon
Pe ter and John.
b They took knowledge that Peter
and John had been with Jesus (v. 13).
c. They forbade them to speak in
Christ's name (v. 18).
d- Peter and John expressed their
determination to obey God rather than
man (vv. 19, 20).
e - Their release (v. 21). Seeing
that the people were on the side of
the apostles they'had no way to pun¬
ish them.
V ; Th « Church at Prayer (vv. 23-31).
i hey praised God for deliverance
and prayed for boldness to speak the
'aurd of God.

Here’s Luxury Liner
That Nobody W ants
Paris.—Nobody wants the burned-
out hulk of the 42,500-ton luxury
liner L’Atlantique, although It is
worth a large amount of money as
“scrap.”
Recently the Paris appeal court
decided the underwriters were lia¬
ble to the owners for the full Insur¬
ance, $11,390,000.
The decision made the hulk the
property of the underwriters, but
they have no wish to become its
owners.
If they do a bill for $3,330,000
awaits them from the French,
Dutch and German salvage firms
which towed the ship into Cher¬
bourg.
Lis hts of New York
by L. L. STEVENSON
The night club is coming back into
its owu along Broadway. It Isn’t the
night club of prohibition. Nor Is it
the cabaret of pre-prohibition. The
stuffiness and handkerchief-sized dance
floors of the prohibition era have
changed to wide expanses and fresh
air. The old “intimate” character of
the night club thus has been destroyed.
Few regret that, however, since the
"intimate” part used to consist of
jamming together, and used air. Fur¬
tiveness of course disappeared with
repeal. Instead of lookouts, peek
holes, and “I’m a friend of Joe’s,” or
“ask for Tony,” there are signs in big
electric letters. The cry “Hello, suck¬
er,” is no longer heard. The night
club addict may pay as much as lie
desires. But he knows what he is
paying. Split pencils are not used in
adding checks. Checks are printed
on cash registers and the items may
be compared with menus.
* * *
Many well known figures are missing
from the new night club deal. Texas
Guinan exists only in memory. The
Larry Fay type has been weeded out.
Night clubs, instead of being outlaws,
are licensed and licenses being re¬
vocable, they obey the rules. Curfew
rings at 4 a. m., except when there
are such special dispensations as New
Year’s eve. For those, an all night
license must be obtained. There are
also rules that cover the conduct of
employees. Gigolos are out. Female
employees who take part in the shows
can’t dance or mingle with patrons.
Only occasionally is there a battle.
Usually it is ended so quickly many
of the guests know nothing of it. The
corps of plug uglies who used to work
on patrons who objected to the size of
checks are among the missing also.
* * •
The difference between the present
day cabaret and the pre-prohibition
edition is principally in the matter of
clothing, or rather the lack of it.
Torsos were not considered entertain¬
ment before Volstead, even if knees
might have been. For a long time
now, even before repeal, the feminine
body has been on display in Broadway
as well as along the beaches—only
more of it. Little has been left to the
Imagination. Occasionally, reformers
have voiced vehement objections to the
displays of white flesh. Nothing hap¬
pened. Now a new French enterprise
goes even further and as this is being
written, there has been no complaint.
As has been said, dancing in the pro¬
hibition days was largely a matter of
toe treading. The size of the floors
made for intimacy all right. Occasion¬
ally, they also made for battles. Now¬
adays, a lot of dancing is being done
on stages—by patrons as well as paid
performers, the patrons going on the
stage when the chorines and others
leave it. Some of the grills, where
there are no stages, have dance floors
as big as (hose in some ballrooms. Also
instead of but one orchestra, there are
two and even three, sometimes taking
runs and sometimes cutting loose si¬
multaneously—with the director lead¬
ing with a flashlight.
* * •
Those consulted say that tips are not
what they used to be. Hundred-dollar
bills are no longer slipped into eager
hands. Nowadays, the tuba player is
not the envy of the gentleman with the
piccolo because play boys use the In¬
strument as a currency repository.
But things are looking up. Five-dollar
bills are not uncommon and there is
even hope that tenners will soon be
much in evidence.
* • •
A number of theatrical producers are
not in favor of the new night club
deal. Shows are given with dinners
and, in many instances, are so timed
that they do not end until long after
curtain time in the theater. S’o there
is some more competiton about which
to worry and about which, seemingly,
nothing can be done.

Hen Number* Output
Oakville, Wash.—John Gerrifts, farm¬
er, decided that his hens were under an
NBA code when he found an egg in his
henhouse with the number “3” easily
discernible on the shell, Gerritts
claims the fowl that laid the egg was
numbering her output in compliance
with a code.
Nature’* Sculpture
Virgin’s Island, N. S.—A nearly per¬
fect iigure of the Madonna, with the
Christ-Child in her arms, has been
found etched on the face of a steep,
barren rock here. The rock cannot he
reached. The etching, believed made
by nature itself, can be seen only on
clear days from a distance.
Tulip Has Won
Popular Favor
The tulip adapts itself so well to
applique and quilting designs that
it is made use of quite frequently.
This combination, showing the en¬
tire potted plant, gained popularity
immediately after it was released.
Tulips in bloom always form a beau¬
tiful color scheme, and this tulip pot
is also brilliant in prints and greem
applique. These stamped blocks are
IS inches, and twelve are required
for a quilt about 76 by 97 inches, If
you use a nine inch border and four
inch strips between blocks. Strips
and border widths can he changed
to make a quilt any size.
Send 15c to our quilt department
for one of these stamped blocks. No.
96-F, and the stamped applique
pieces ready to be cut out. Work
this up and see what a beautiful
quilt can be made of this design. A

Poor Excu*e
A couple who live in Champaign
planned to do some visiting on a re¬
cent Sunday. (Not a crime In a
small town, writes Alvin Hamburg,
who relays the item). His wife was
ready to leave before he was, so she
went outside to wait. Some five min¬
utes elapsed before he finally caine
out of the house, looking pale and
shaken.
“Do you know that I’ve been wait¬
ing out here fully 10 minutes.?” she
said sharply.
“But, dear,” he Implored, “please
don’t get angry. I couldn’t help It.
As 1 started down stairs I slipped on
Ihe top step and fell down the whole
flight of stairs.”
His wife sniffed.
“Well, what of It?” she demanded.
“That shouldn't have taken you so
long.”—Chicago Tribune.

How Calotabs Help Nature
To Throw Off a Bad Cold
Millions have found in Calotabs a
most valuable aid in the treatment
of colds. They take one or two tab¬
lets the first night and repeat the
third or fifth night if needed.
How do Calotabs help Nature
throw off a cold? First, Calotabs are
one of the most thorough and de¬
pendable of all intestinal eliminants,
thus cleansing the intestinal tract of
the germ-laden mucus and toxines.
Second, Calotabs are diuretic to the
kidneys, promoting the elimination
of cold poisons from the blood. Thus
Calotabs serve the double purpose of
a purgative and diuretic, both of
which are needed in the treatment
of colds.
Calotabs are quite economical;
only twenty-five cents for the family
package, ten cents for the trial
package. (Adv.)
