Baoule dancers of the Ivory coast can well hold their own against, say, Fred Astaire, de- clared Dr. Hans Ilimnielheber, Gernow in this man anthropologist Their dancing Is unbecountry. lievable." Doctor nimmelheber. who went to French West Africa last year expressly to study this tribe, gives a glowing report of native life on the Ivory coast These Are Party Folks. Pleasure Is the true purpose of life with these people. There Is much dancing and singing, but no I saw only one drunken person among them, he told the Anthropological society of Washington. A chiefs program for an afternoon may have for Its chief feature showing off," the anthropologist found. That Is, the chief promenades In all the glory he can manage. Good manners and beauty are more admired than cleverness among these people. They shun gaudy colors, and like sober and subdued effects In their . little-know- hell-raisin- much-cultivate- d arts. Hairdressers are Important aids to and and Baoule men women expect their bpauty parlor operators to create strikingly new hair styles constantly. Homes Are Bright, Too. In their homes, these natives like pretty things around them, they told the German scientist. Their carved wood spoons, boxes, books, and other everyday possessions are being displayed to the civilized world as fine art. The picture of the arts In African life has been distorted. Doctor Ilimmelheher declared, because It is not nearly so easy to convey the quality of African music and dancing as It Is to show the sculptures and recite the poetry. Yet musical arts are advanced. New Treatment Saves Drunks From Dangerous Comatose Condition For drunks CHICAGO. who have reached a state of coma, medical science has discovered an emergency treatment. The new treatment will bring them speedily out of the dangerous state of paralytic alcoholism which sometimes leads to death. Dr. Leon J. Robinson and Dr. Sydney Selesnlck of Boston City hospital report results of the treatment. How Cases Are Treated. These cases of acute alcoholism are brought Immediately to the hospital and are allowed to breathe a mixture of 10 per cent carbon dioxide and DO per cent oxygen for half an hour or longer. This, in the words of the Boston physicians, I3 what happens: in every case of unarousable alcoholic coma, with slow. Jerky, shallow respirations and cyanosis, carbon dioxide-oxyge- n Inhalation caused the respirations to become deep and regular almost at once." The doctors emphasize that this Is an emergency treatment and Is not Indicated In the moderate degrees of Intoxication so frequently encountered. Takes Pint for Coma. By comparing man with animals, these doctors believe that It would require about a pint of whisky taken at once to casse coma In man. This coma, accompanied by troubled breathing, paralysis and blue-nes- s of the skin, constitutes a medical emergency. Death may be definitely prevented and recovery hastened by the Inhalation of this mix- ture. ITuman Echo Puzzles Physicians in England LONDON. Medical scientists here are puzzled over the strange case of a boy who produces an echo seven-year-ol- d In his sleep. The hoy, a sort of human echo, has been observed by Dr. W. K. L. Allen, medical practitioner of lluwkshead, Lancashire, and other witnesses. They report that when the lad Is In deep sleep lie emits a loud knocking In response to similar noises produced accidentally or purposely In his vicinity. Fascinating Talcs of Lost Mines "T Why They Cannot Be Generally Used Now ' glasses, something for the person who must wear glasses and finds the ordinary shell or metal frames uncomfortable or unbecoming. . They have aroused vain hopes and patients ask about them, stated Dr. Bay K. Dally of Houston, Texas, at the St. Louis meeting of the Southern Medical association. When they are necessary, when they may be used, and why they cannot be generally used at present was told by Doctor Dally. They are really not very new, for Doctor Dally points out that exwith contact glasses periments have been made for almost one hundred years." Meet Technical Difficulties. The chief deterrent to their use was, at first, the technical difficulty of manufacturing them, even for use In the one eye condition for which they are particularly helpful and for which they were originally designed. These technical difficulties have been overcome, but they are still very expensive. Doctor Daily does not feel they can be generally Included In the outfit of the eye specialist until they have been greatly reduced In price and made accessible to the large mass of people. There are no conditions for which contact glasses are definitely unsuitable. Doctor Dally said. One authority finds that persons with Inelastic eyelids or eyes sensitive to smoke cannot wear them. Where They Are Used. Chief Indication for their use Is the eye condition known as kerato-couusaid Doctor Dally. This Is a deformity of the cornea of the eye, the condition for which contact glasses were originally devised and for which they do the most good. Vision is Improved, the condition Is kept from getting worse, and In some cases Is actually Improved, It appears from Doctor Dailys discussion. Fortunately, persons suffering from this condition have eyes very tolerant of contact glasses. The glasses nmy he used for the more common conditions such as farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism, In which the Images are not brought to a proper focus on the retina. Properly fitted and ground contact glasses are more helpful than ordinary glasses In these conditions, according to a German authority, quoted by Doctor Dally. Because the contact glasses enlarge the field of vision, they are pntrlculnrly helpful to drivers, pilots, sportsmen, swimmers and the like. Doctor Dally pointed out, even though they are not a necessity for the average person with ordinary eye defects. Their lnconsplcuousness, of course, gives them particular appeal for actors and artists. s, cone-shape- Ilrdlicka T, railway tunnel, 3jHq line, and a station eomnWs ery detail are to be bainL, Ax spare time by 500 child- -, PHANTOMS spicuously between eyelids and eyeball have been hailed with considerable publicity.

The old stage route dates back still farther, to the days when Old Mexico and New Mexico were one. Don Gonzales was a Mexican. He came north to live, and he built an r. adobe house near what Is now Here he settled down, raised sheep, and made friends with the Indians. Just before the Don came up Into that country, there had been trouble In the south. One of the great cathedrals had been looted and bandits were abroad. The story traveled a little more slowly than the Don did, but It reached his neighborhood after a while, and it, too, settled down. It was said that Don Gonzales had the loot from the church. No one saw It but rumor persisted that it was somewhere around that adobe rauebhouse. The Don finally died, and those who lived nearby would doubtless have Investigated, but Apaches swept down and across the land, and everyone was too busy with the San Juan (shown above), and the tropical paradise of which it is the capital, are looking up to better invading hordes to hunt for treasIn ure. is of it the in revealed The Blanton shown inset the the governor, at times, report Winship, right islanders were demonstrative In their approval of the New Deal, as pictured at lower right and have welIt was In 1898 that a certain rancher came Into the country to comed the PRRA, administered by Ernest Gruening (inset left). live, and he rode over to the old the Puerto Rican Relief administraministration on the mainland.
