Artificial
Device Keeps Up
Circulation
Scientists Test Rubber Pockets Which
Pump Blood to Arteries and Veins
in Eodies of Animals.
Washington An "artificial heart,"
with which animals have been kept
alive as long as three and one-half
hours after their original hearts were
removed, is being tested at George
town university medical school here.
The artificial heart maintains cir
culation of the blood just as does a
normal heart, by pumping it through
the arteries and veins. It has been
developed and is being used in ex
periments by Dr. Owen Stanley Gibbs.
Ho is using the device to learn
more about the effects of stimulating
drugs on the blood pressure of ani
mals when their natural hearts have
been removed. It is hoped the ex
periments will have practical value
in opening up new knowledge of the
cause of death following severe in
jur yor shock in human beings.
With the artificial heart, an animal
man be revived and kept alive for a
limited time after it has died to all
intents and purposes as a result of
the removal of its original heart.
This does not mean, of course, that
the animal can function normally in
every way, because it must be kept
under an anaesthetic at all times
during the experiments.
The artificial heart consists essen
tially of two rubber pockets, which
dilate and contract like the auricle
and ventricle of a normal heart. It
is attached to the arteries and veins
of the body by g'ass tubes. An elec
tric current from a battery regulates
the flow of blood into the apparatus.
In experiments with the heart, an
animal first is put under an anaes
thetic and its heart removed. Its
circulation system is then quickly
connected to the glass tubes of the
artificial heart.
For a quarter of an hour or so
after the artificial heart is put in
operation the animal remains life
less to all appearances, but by de
grees "life" returns and its reflexes
again begin to function. Gradually
the circulation of the blood returns
to normal, pumped by the artificial
heart.

bring word that they are enjoying a
very fine time in the east. They also
arrived home during the latter por
tion of last week and while they were
t level-weary, they report an excel
lent time and that in the more than
5,000 miles they traveled, they found
some wonderful places and met many
people, visiting with many relatives
and friends. Still Alvo looked pretty
good to them and they were glad to
meet the old friends here on their
return.

Ycung People Wed Secretly
On February 27, 1931. two and a
half years ago, occurred the marriage
of Miss Edna Lewis, of Alvo, and Mrs.
Lawrence Bell, of Omaha, which the
young people kept secret until recent
ly, as the bride was a teacher in the
schools at Pacific Junction, Iowa, and
the rule wa3 that married women are
not allowed to teach in the schools
cf that town. With the closing of the
school in the spring of 1931, she was
re-elected for another year and ac
cepted, continuing to teach, so they
did not make known the fact of their
marriage. Again this spring she was
proffered the place for another year,
but concluded she would not accept,
and new they have revealed their
wedding.
Mrs. Bell is a very talented and
accomplished young woman and has
been very successful in the teaching
profession.
- She is visiting at the home of her
jmother at present and her many
friends are extending congratula
tions. Among the other manifesta
tions was an old fashioned charivari
given them one night last week. Mrs.
E. M. Stone, aunt of Mrs. Bell, was
hostess at a shower sponsored by the
Alvo Woman's club, at which many
of her friends were present and a
very pleasant' afternoon was spent.
Numerous gifts were presented the
guest of honor as evidence of the high
esteem in which she is held. The
Journal joins in extending congratu
lations and best wishes.
Spending Some Time in West
E. L. Nelson, the merchant, depart
ed early last week for the west, where
he was called to look after some
business matters, going to Denver
first, and en the conclusion of his
business there, went to Fort Morgan,
where he visited with his mother and
other relatives.. In all he expected
to be away, for about ten days. While
he is away, business at the store is
being looked after by Mrs. Nelson and
daughter, with the assistance of Miss
Clara Reuter.
Announces Marriage cf Daughter
Mrs. Lizzie Lewis announces the
secret marriage of her daughter, Miss
Edna Lewi3, to Mr. Lawrence Ball, of
Omaha, Nebraska. The marriage took
place February 27, 1931, at Papillion,
Nebraska.
A Week in the South
Mr. and Mrs. John Elliott and wife,
with their little son, and accompan
ied by J. B. Elliott, father of John,
departed for the south in their car
early last week, where they both
looked after business and visited with
relatives and friends at Wichita,
Kansas. They drove and will observe
conditions of crops and business as
they go and as they visit with friends
in that part of the country.
They returned home last Saturday
and report an excellent time.
Free Transportation
for Tuition-Paying High School Stu
dents at Alvo Consolidated
The Board of Education of the
Alvo Consolidated School has made a
change in their transportation regu
lations to become effective at the
opening of school in September.
Transportation is free for all rural
pupils residing within the school dis
trict, but pupils not residing in the
district and attending the Alvo High
school have, in the past, been requir
ed to pay a transportation fee of $27
per pupil per school year for the priv
ilege of riding on the school bus.
As a courtesy and saving to non
resident pupils of the Alvo High
school and their parents, the Alvo
Beard of Education has voted to dis
continue this transportation fee.

Rural Highways to Benefit From.
Public Roads Bureau Research
rpHE long-held aim of "getting
JL the farmer out of the mud"
promises to be brought materially
closer to realization through the
application of a very considerable
part of the $400,000,000 federal
road fund to the secondary high
way system. The United States
Bureau of Public Roads will have
heavy responsibilities in the expen
diture of the fund, and it is for
tunate that research conducted by
the Bureau provides the basis for
the construction and improvement
of low-cost roads that will both get
and keep the farmer out of the
mud without imposing an unjust
ifiable tax burden for maintenance.
The Bureau's research, conduc
ted in its test laboratory at Arling
ton, Virginia, across the Potomac
from Washington, has covered
characteristics of the ground be
neath, the surface which are im
portant to the design, construction
and maintenance of highways. It
has also covered the problems of
highway surfaces, with a view to
the use of chemical and physical
admixtures to provide low-cost
roads with surfaces that will stand
up under traffic and can be main
tained at low cost. ' ,
Low-Cost Highway Surfaces
The surface condition of clay,.
sand-clay and gravel roads depends
largely upon the degree of cohesion
possessed by the clay or other ma
terial that acts as the binder or
road '"glue.' This In turn largely
depends upon the presence of suffi
cient' moisture, for it is the mois
ture films between the particles
and not the particles themselves
that provide the "glue." The value
of chemical admixtures in main
taining cohesion has been shown
by the use of calcium chloride, a
white, flaky substance -which slows
down evaporation and prevents the
drying out of the moisture without
which the surface tends to disin
tegrate. Spread npon the surface, the first
rainfall carries it down to the sub
surface soil. With the re-appearance
of the sun, evaporation of the
surface moisture begins but Is re
placed by the rising of the calcium
chloride solution. Evaporation con
tinues only up to the point at
which, due to the calcium chloride,
the solution will no longer evap
orate. At the next rainfall the
same process takes place with the
result that cohesion is steadily
maintained. .
Sub-Surface Soils Study
.The foundation of a road is as
important as the foundation of a
building. In the case of roads of
all kinds this foundation is pro
vided by the sub-surface soils. The
Bureau of Public Roads' program
of subsurface research has in
cluded all of those soil constituents
which are of importance In deter
mining the reactions of widely
different soils under varying con
ditions cf load, moisture and tem
perature. This has involved tests
More Funds for
River Work Soon
Believed Likely
Brown, Waite Begin Study Desig
nated to Push Projects
May Save Jobs.
Washington, Aug. 17. A study of
the Missouri river, designed to sup
ply funds by September 15, for con
tinuation and perhaps expansion of
present river work was undertaken
today by General Lytle Brown, chief
of army engineers, and Colonel H.
M. Waite, deputy administrator of;
public works. Secretary of Interior
Ickes told The World-Herald.
"We can't do everything at once,"
said Icke3 emphatically when ques
tioned regarding virtual cessation of
work on the upper Missouri at var
ious points.
"General Brown told me today that j
he thought the existing contract work
could be kept going until September
15, and I haven't heard anything to
the contrary. General Brown should
know.
"At any rate Colonel Waite and
General Brown began today, at my
instance, a study of the Missouri and
river and harbor work generally
which is designed to take care of
the situation."
Missouri river supporters here are
pleased at this information, indicat
ing as it does that the river claims
at last will be taken up by the pub
lic works administration. They had
feared pressure of other work and,
consequent delay would seriously!
hamper the development program.
Questioned as to whether thci
Waite-Brown study would include j
the proposed giant reservoir at Fort'
Peck, Mont.,'lckes said it would not.
He added that the September 15 date
mentioned by General Brown meant
that he hoped to act by then in his
capacity as public works adminis
