How this scientific feat has been accomplished is described by Dr. Raymond C. Parker of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York, in a report to the journal. Science. Offers Big Field. This method of keeping adult tissue alive and functioning in a glass flask is expected to provide a means of studying a great variety of physiological problems that could not be approached by other means. Doctor Parker and Dr. K. Landsteiner, the Rockefeller scientist whose researches on blood groups won him the Nobel prize, have already succeeded by this method in studying the formation in these tissue bits of the disease-fightinsubimportant stances known as antibodies. Another noted Rockefeller institute scientist. Dr. Alexis Carrel, long ago succeeded in keeping living tissue alive outside the body and other scientists have done so since then. Doctor Carrel played a part in the research reported by designing the peculiarly shaped flask that substitutes for the body in these latest experiments. Use Adult Bodies Life in the test tube reported, however, differs in certain important respects from that achieved by other . methods. The famous chicken heart tissue which Doctor Carrel has kept alive for 24 years, for example, did not come from an adult body, but from an unborn embryo. The test tube life of this famous tissue and of others similarly cultured have not been natural ones. Instead of just existing and performing its natural functions, Doctor Carrels chicken heart has kept on growing, new cells being formed apparently indefinitely. The bits of tissue kept alive by Doctor Parkers method were taken from the spleen of adult animals. They do not grow, they just live, as tissue in a grown persons Funcbody lives without growing. tional survival is the term used by Doctor Parker to describe this existence of the tissue in his flasks. . is- -- day-to-da- rrT tax-harass- ed -- - his ss.f Three-ounrter- m fire loss. lnas i ed.

This Adventure Starts With a Cup of Coffee. Its quite a story, boys and girls a story that starts out with a walking tour through the streets of Brooklyn. Bill and his friend, Charley Young, had been taking an evening stroll, and eleven oclock found them at Boro Hall park. Charley suggested that they drop into a cafeteria for a cup of coffee before they hit the hay. Bill agreed, and they crossed the street. They went into the cafeteria, took their checks from the machine at the door and went over to the long counter. They ordered coffee, and the counterman turned to get it. But no sooner had he turned than he swung back toward the door and said: Whats the matter over there? Thats the first intimation Bill and Charley had that anything was wrong. They looked in the direction in which the counterman was staring. Several men were scuffling over near the door. Then, suddenly from the center of that milling group came the sound of a shot!

A is American political slang applied to a man who Is not generally mentioned as a candidate previous to a convention but who wins the nomination when the delegates fail to agree on one of the lead- -' ing candidates. The phrase started as English racing slang, originating in the practice by jockeys of dyeing black the hair of fast horses in or .cr to enter them in races under another name and then clean up in the betting. The first recorded use of the term was in Benjamin Disraeli's The Young Duke, published in 1831. In it he speaks of a dark horse, which had never been heard of, rushing past the grandstand In Gradually the sweeping triumph. use of tlie term was extended to apply to any horse, regardless of Us color, which won unexpectedly and similarly it was applied to candidates for public office. American political history affords a number of examples of dark horses capturing the Presidential nomination but only a very few of them have gone on to occupy tlie White House. In 1844 James K. Polk of Tennessee won the Democratic nomination at Baltimore when there was a deadlock between Martin Van Buren, asking a second term, and Lewis Cass of Michigan. In the election he defeated Henry Clay, the Whig candidate, and became the first dark horse President. Again in 1852 the Democrats assembled in Baltimore to choose and again their standard-beare- r Lewis Cass was a leading candidate with James Buchanan of A. and Stephen Pennsylvania Douglas, the Little Giant of Illinois, furnishing the principal opposition. But again there was a deadlock and when at last the tide began to turn toward Brig. Gen. Franklin Pierce, again there was a stampede and this dark horse from New Hampshire was nominated. In the election he defeated the Whig candidate, Gen. Winfield Scott, under whom he had served in the Mexican war. As for the Republicans In 1878 they passed up their strongest man, James G. Blaine of Maine, and his principal opponent, O. P. Morton of Indiana, and gave the nomination to Gov. R. B. Hayes, Ohios favorite son," who defeated Samuel Tilden, t! e Democratic candidate. In 1880 they turned down Grants bid for a third term, again passed over Blaine, failed to rally to John Sherman of Ohio, another strong contender, and finally selected another Buck-- , eye dark horse Gen.

Dowden, but he was the man who made G. O. P. a synonym for tho Republican party. In 1884, tlie year that the Republicans finally nominated James 'G. Blaine for tlie Presidency, young Dowden applied for work at tlie Cincinnati Gazette and got it. About 2:30 oclock one morning, just before the Gazette went to press, Dowden took from the copy hook a piece of copy marked Must go In ten lines. He soon found himself In difficulty. My copy ends with Grand Old Party and I have two words left over after Ive set the ten lines, he told the foreman of the shop, ' What shall I do? Throw em away and use your exclaimed the foreintelligence man impatiently. No, waitl Cut em short . . . get em In soma wayl Abbreviate em." So Dowden went back to his case and the next morning the Gazette came out with this sentence on the front page: The Hon. James G. Blaine will address tlie meeting on Achievements of the GOP. At tlie meeting that night the Republican candidate was concludr speech when a voice ing a floated down from the gallery: Why dont you tell us something about GOP and what it did?" retorted my friend, Why, I've been talking about Blaine, The word Gop GOP all evening. contains the initial letters of the Grand Old Party and that is its official and abbreviated name.
