POP PENCHANT LEADS TO SOLVING ROBBERY Chocolate Soda Water Fiend Admits Store Robbing. Bu United Prcsn BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Feb. 1. —A youth’s penchant for chocolate “pop” led to rapid solution of a robbery in Fairplain, and brought George Altizer, 17, and his chum, Alvin Spears, 19, to court. A grocery store was broken into and a small amount of money taken. Officers were puzzled until Chief Deputy Sheriff Ray Hall got a hunch—and followed it. The grocer told the deputy that the boys got nothing but the small change and a quantity of chocolate pop. “Have you any good chocolate pop customers?” Hall asked. The victim thought a moment and then answered: “Yes there’s George Altizer, a young fellow, who buys a lot of it.” Hall confronted Altizer with a charge of the theft and the youth soon confessed, implicating his companion.

RESTORE LIFE . TO DETACHED HEADOF DOG Active for 3 Hours When Blood Is Pumped by Artificial Heart. Following Is the last of the two United Press dispatches giving a detailed description of the work of Soviet scientists who are attempting to create means of continuing or restoring life in an aparent'y dead body. This dispatch teUs how an “artificial heart” was used to keep the severed head of a dog in an apparent state of life, holding out promise of a method by which scientists will be able to carry out intensive study of the brain. BY EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, Feb. I.—The most successful of his experiments, in which a detached dog’s head was apparently restored to life for three and a half hours, was described to the United Press correspondent in detail by Dr. S. S. Brukhanenko, who with Dr. Sergei Chechulin has been engaged in this work for more than four years. > The bodyless, head, lying on a plate and connected to a mechanical blood-pump, or “heart,” looked and behaved exactly like a live dog’s head, except that it uttered no sounds. It showed the usual canine signs of pain and pleasure and reacted to light, to sound, to touch and to taste. The first problem which the Russian scientists had to solve was to keep a supply of blood in a fresh and natural condition. Fortunately the research of another specialist in the same institute, Dr. O. A. Steppunn, yielded a chemical preparation which, injected into the blood, keeps it from congealing and does not in any way affect its normal health. The preparation—known as “Germanin” or “Bayer 205”—has attracted wide attention in the medical world because it simplifies blood transfusion operations and is useful in the treatment of a variety of diseases. Brukhanenko and Chechulin conducted several tests with varying degrees of success until they made the one which proved entirely successful. Dr. Brukhanenko was not ready to say that the dog’s head was “alive” in the ordinary sense of the word during those three and a half hours. The words life and death, he said, are not so simple as people suppose. The only thing he knew definitely was that the head seemed alive, that the functions of the brain were revived. If one accepts those functions as meaning life, then the head was alive, he said, adding that as soon as science can define the words life

and death, a solution of the old riddle will be nearer. Immense vistas are opened to science by the successful experiments. For one thing, it will nov be possible to study intensely the nature of the brain. By isolating it from the body, the activities of the brain can be observed more accurately. For example, it may now be possible to find out what substances feed the brain. Various substances will be put into the blood and the effects will be recorded. In the same way it may be possible to learn about those toxins which the brain is known to produce as it works, toxins that are supposed to explain fatigue and need for rest and sleep.* The dog, of course, was chloroformed heavily, and every effort was made to save the animal from unnecessary pain. The dog was one which had oeen condemned to be shot. When only the four principal arteries remained, the final separa-

tion was made and the connection with the artificial arteries quickly ‘established. For twenty or thirty minutes the head seemed lifeless, due to the continuation of the effects of the chloroform. When the eyes were touched they reacted, however, showing that the head was not dead but asleep. At the end of half an hour all signs of life became increasingly clear. A strong light was suddenly flashed on the dog, and the eyes shut instantly. When a piece of cotton soaked in acid was put in its mouth, it was immediately ejected, but when a piece of cheese was put in, the head swallowed it. Every test made in the course of three hours showed the normal responses. The largest island in the world, with the exception of Australia, is Borneo, with an area of 284,000 square miles.
