Mrs. Charlottle Mayer, Chicago mother found hanged in the boiler room of her apartment, had no breath, no pulse, was declared ".dead" by the fire department crew but was revived. University of Missouri coed Glenda Gampher, found in a city park, was "dead" at the city morgue. She was being prepared for autopsy when she "came back to life."

New methods of instruction in certain subjects have been initiated in Idaho, but there has been little basic experl- mpnfatinn.
