U,ut foreigners, with little interest in the quality of Robinson's water, reacted differ-J ently to the news of oil where only 1 water had been before. All projects t started immediately to appear. Notable among the ventures launched was that of A. C. Townley, organ-1 izer and head of the Nonpartisan 1 league during its politcal lieydey.

Thus far. however, there has been no report of oil anywhere in the state except what accumulates in the well.

Staff Correspondent) * Clourwater, Fla., Jan. 7.— (United i Press) —A flivver is the family bed- 1 room for Mr. and Mrs. William Courtney und their six children, ranging In age from nine years to niuo months. The Courtneys, typical of the some 10,000 so-called tin-can tourists In Floradi, are “camping out," near here, and their automobile is their home. Courtney is an itinerate salesman for a mail order clothing concern. He sleeps on a cot beside his flivver "bedroom." In the rear seat o( the car, I Mrs. Court noy, with most of their I "brood" makes her “nest.". Marian,! nine, the eldest child, has a "bedroom" of her own in the front seat. Meals are cooked over a camp fire and during the day when Courtney Is away taking orders or doing other odd jobs, the children. Katherine, Ixiulse.' Rachel, Robert, William, Jr., and Mar-! ian, play in the big pasture where the camp is located. Rent for the camp site costs Courtney $1 a week; wood is free and there are no winter clothes to buy for the children When it rains; well, like all campers, they expect a wetting occasionally. I, The Courtneys lived in New Jersey. Business was fair, but the urge to come to Florida was great. Ten dollars was ill the family treasury contained, but there was the flivver and so the family started out. When the modest store of funds ran low during the journey, the family stopped at a convenient tourist camp while Courtney took orders for h's company or did odd jobs to provide food anil gasoline. Thus, in short stages, the trip was negotiated. , Arriving here, the Courtneys selcct'<■<l a camping site and went into “win-

ter quarters." It Is estimated that there are thousands of families in Florida today that have migrated under much the same circumstances. Tourists camps dot the state. They tire located near every town in Florida. Sometimes the tourists are provided with tents. Thus, little tourist cities spring up. Os course, there are no "city" laws and custom alone rules t>u> communities. Many, like the Courtneys, sleep in the automobiles which are parked hi a circle reminiscent of the days of ’49, when the covered wagons carried the pioneers into the west. o f , Russian?

Appearing before the Military academy of Medßine in Leningrad, Professor Oppel exhibited a woman pa- j tient, to whose body he had transplanti<l a bone previously removed from a corpse.

Removing from a corpse the shin- . bone and adjacent sections of the hip. i ITofessor Oppel had boiled these in a special chemical solution and then ■ grafted them on the patient, whose corresponding bones had been amputai ted The Leningrad medi'ai scientists > were astounded to see the patient ; walking about normally and happily, i although “strictly speaking, she was partly a corpse." A similar experiment was Suc-ess-fully attempted upon a patient afflicted with cancer of the hip.
