BRITISH DEFENCE AGAINST INVASION

BY NAPOLEON Hythe (Kent), Oct. 1.

Artificial Blood Pumped By Compressed Air

A GLASS heart that will keep alive any single human organ after it has been taken from a body, for an indefinite period, has been perfected by Colonel Charles Lindbergh, the famous airman, with the help of Dr. Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute, of New York.

The mechanism consists of three glass chambers connected by a number of tubes. The whole is one plece of glass,

The bottom chamber of the heart is filled with artificial blood. The second chamber con- tains apparatus for regulating | the rhythm of the blood.

In the top chamber is the human organ, heart, kidneys, liver, whatever it may be, which the doctors wish to study under living conditions.

Controlled By Gas

The flow of the "blood" through the robot-heart is con- trolled by gas pressure pulsated by compressed air and a rotating valve.

The same "blood" is used over and over again. It has all the properties of real blood and con- tains secretions from various glands of a body.

If anyone wants to buy WAR GAS MENACE

a canal there is one for! sale, a splendid canal filled with real water and good fishing and with an inter- esting history attached.

Eight and a half miles of the Royal Military Canal that begins at Seabrook, near Hythe, and runs to Cliff End, between Rye and Winchelsea, will be sold by auction at the Saracen's Hend Hotel, Ashford, Kent.

NO CHEMICAL COULD WIPE OUT CITIES

San Francisco, Sept. 30. Civilian fear of dying in writhing agony in cities gassed from the air during war was scouted recently by Dr. Harri- son Estell Howe of the Ameri- can Chemical Society while attending a convention of that organisation here.

Dr. Howe is chairman of the EXPOSURE OF FILM Chemical Society's board co- operating with the U.S. Chemical Warfare Service.

"A potent gas that would do that work hasn't been invented iyet. I doubt if it ever will be

invented," he said.

"Gas bombs dropped from planes wouldn't be effective. The gas would be wafted away by the wind. Air currents would swirl them around, eventually dissipating their effectiveness

"The danger to cities in time of war hinges on bombs dropped from planes. Bombs that cause sky- scrapers to topple on people, that destroy, water supplies and power plants."

SECRETS RAISES.

A STORM

Hollywood, Sept. 30, Hollywood's latest "hero" is Sidney Skolsky, a journalist who has annoyed producers by telling the public a few truths about the way films are made." For example, he has pointed eut that in one of Jean Harlow's films in which that actress ap- parently danced and säng, the actual dancing and singing was not done by Miss Harlow at all, but by other actresses.
