‘HUMAN GUINEA PIGS’ STAKE LIVES AGAINST FREEDOM FROM CELL

By United Prer* CANON CITY, Colo., July 7. Two more life termers of the Colorado penitentiary soon will stake their lives against freedom in the role of “'human guinea pigs” when they submit their bodies to scientific experiments designed to test a tuberculosis preventive serum. Carl Erickson, 62, convicted murderer, and Mike Schmidt, 52, convicted of criminal assault, already have been given first the serum and then injections of tuberculosis germs. Governor Edwin C. Johnson announced yesterday he will select soon two more life termers with outstanding prison records to be given an opportunity to serve as “scientific testing grounds” for the "serum. Governor Johnson has promised the convicts freedom in return for their submission to the experiments. BEAUTY MAY~AWAKEN AFTER 2-YEAR SLEEP Often Opens Eyes and Gazes at Her, Says Mother.

stratosphere PILOTS BOAST FINEjIECORDS Veteran Army Pair Famed for Photograhpy, Flying Ability. (Copyright. 19*4, by Science Service) RAPID CITY, S. D., July 7.—The stratosphere flight of Captain Albert W. Stevens, and Major William E. Kepner, veteran army aviators, is by no means the first contribution they have made to scientific knowledge and aviation. Captain Stevens is best known for his remarkable photographs taken many miles above the earth and at tremendous distances through fog and other photographic hazards. One of the most remarkable of these was a photograph of Mt. Shasta taken from a distance of 331 miles. The military advantage of such long-range photography is obvious, giving, as it does, to the fighting forces, eyes that will pierce the veil of miles. But the peace-time uses are equally great for surveying purposes. The photographs taken by Captain Stevens on his flight to the stratosphere will give scientists an entirely new view of the earth, it is hoped, and perhaps also of the heavenly bodies. Astronomical photography is not new to Captain Stevens. “ During the eclipse of the sun on Aug. 31, 1932. he snapped from an altitude of 26,000 feet the advancing shadow of the moon on the surface of the earth. This showed clearly the curvature of the surface. For this achievement he was awarded the Franklin L. Burr SI,OOO prize of the National Geographic Society. Major William E. Kepner, who will pilot the balloon in this new attempt to reach man's greatest heights, is a veteran of the World war, but did not join the aviation service until 1920. Since then he has gained distinction as a flier of many types of flying craft. He holds ratings as airplane pilot, airplane observer, airship pilot, and balloon observer. He is a graduate of the air corps balloon school, air corps airship school, and the United States Navy ground and flying course on rigid airships. He was entered in the 1927 balloon races, and won the 1928 Gordon Bennett Cup race. In 1929

Berlin Muses on Fate of Auwi; Kaiser’s Son and Nazi ‘Cup Passer’

BY MILTON BRONNER European Manager, XEA Service NEW YORK, July 7.— Thousands of Berliners and Potsdamers are wondering what the future holds for Auwi. Auwi is Berlinese jargon for Prince August Wilhelm, fourth son of the exiled kaiser. For three years he has been the big Nazi Exhibit A as a royal princeling who is an ardent Nazi. When the Nazis began to grow in influence and even when they came into power, the ex-kaiser maintained a rigid silence regarding them. Ex-Crown Prince Willie, who belonged to the Steel Helmets, never donned a Nazi uniform, nor did any of his other brothers. Except Auwi. Auwi became an officer in the Potsdam Brown Shirts. He made speeches. He was placed on the list of Nazi candidates for the reichstag and was duly elected. He took his seat proudly done up in his brown shirt, like the rest of his congeners. When Hitler reviewed big parades in Berlin or Potsdam. Auwi was right there on the platform still doing his Exhibit A job. His Big Moment But one of his greatest moments came last February. For months the rank and file of the Brown Shirts all over Germany had been shaking tin boxes in the faces of the citizens. They were collecting “voluntary” contributions for Hitler's winter relief fund. Then one day in February it w’as announced in the Berlin papers that, while the Brown Shirts were collecting relief for the poor, many of their own ranks were hard up. Therefore, the officers of the Brown Shirts had “graciously resolved” to do a little collecting themselves. Forgetting their high position, they would appear on the streets of the metropolis and collect "voluntary” contributions which would go to the he served as chief test pilot on the all-metal airship ZMC-2. Standing by to serve as alternate pilot if necesary, is Lieutenant O. A. Anderson, also an expert balloon pilot. He also holds the mriny varid ratings that Major Kepner holds, qualifying him to fly both winged and wingless craft.

faithful rank and file of Hitler's private army in Berlin. Anwi Was Biggest Star Karl Ernst, head of the Berlin storm troops, shot the day as a traitor by order of Hitler, was one of the star performers. But the biggest star of all was Auwi. The beat where he would collect contributions for his men was prominently printed. He would go into the swish hotels on Unter den Linden and he would also collect in certain streets wherfc the aristocrats and the wealthy dwell. Auwi had one grand day. All dolled up in brown shirt and cap, officers’ epaulettes and the rest of the toggery, he shook his tin box like a good fellow. In the meantime, the newspaper photographers clicked their cameras and strawhaired maidens sighed with admiration at his “self-sacrifice” in acting just like an ordinary human being. Collections Mounted His collections easily mounted up. Many people, with an old sneaking admiration for royalty, were willing to part with a bunch of marks just to get a princely “Danke schoen.” But, later, things did not break so well for Auwi. The big shots in the Nazi regime, angered at the rumor that they might favor the return of royalty, took pains to emphasize in their newspapers and their speeches that they had not fought for fifteen years only to bring back a discredited monarchy. That was a hot shot at Auwi’s father and family. He has not been so very prominent since then. STOLEN RADIO IS FOUND Three Strangers Left Instrument, Says Negro Held as Vagrant. Andrew Price, Negro, told police last night that the handsome radio in his home at 721 North Senate avenue had been left there by three men he did not know. Police planned to return the radio to Lowell Stinger, 316 East South street, from whom it had been stolen. Price was booked on vagrancy charges.

'BROKEN BONE' BABY HAS NEW LEGJRACTURE Tiny Girl Appears to Be on Way to Recovery, Doctors Say. Despite anew break in the bone in her right leg. Caroline Ruby Mercer, born seven weeks ago with more than fifty fractures, awoke from her nap today with a broad, toothless baby smile. Caroline is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hansel Mercer, 1245 Wesfc New York street. Many of the fractures which were discovered at the baby's birth ali ready have healed. She sustained the new break in the bone between her knee and ankle several days ago. ; Physicians attending her believe : the break was the result of efforts of baby Caroline to move about on her pillow. The new’ fracture was discovered by the baby's mother Sunday, when she gave the child a bath. Monday physicians confirmed Mrs. Mercer’s' belief that the leg was broken. Previous breaks in the child's legs, ; caused before birth by improper bone formation, were above the i knees. For several weeks she lay in a wooden framework, with her legs suspended by gauze to an upright structure, while these frac- | tures healed. Monday the baby w’as taken to the ! physician's office, where plans had | been made to place her in another apparatus, to straighten her legs, ; which are drawn up to her body. Because of the new fracture,‘this step was not taken, and the baby is kept on a pillow, with the broken leg supported by pads. Caroline is able now to lift her tiny arms and wave them about, as a normal child of her age does. Until a few days ago her arms lay useless beside her. Fractures which were present in the bones in the arms have healed without being set. Caroline has gained weight in the seven weeks of her life, and apparently is without pain. She sleeps much of the time. She will be examined by the attending physicians in two w T eeks, to determine if the new break in her leg is healing. One machine now being used on Canadian farms can cut and thresh grain on forty acres in a day with only two men operating it.
