7th, at the hospital in Lincoln, where
he had been a patient for some time.
During his long years in Nebraska,
Mr. Peters saw this state develop
from a raw prairie to one of the most
productive farming districts that can
be found anywhere. As a boy, he at
tended the district schools of early
Nebraska and there obtained the rud
iments of an education that has with
the later schooling served him thru
the more than three score years of
his life.

has been identified with the farming
business for many years, having at
the time of his death a number of

oil business and with a son conducted

pelled him to go to the Bryan Memor
ial hospital in Lincoln, where he re
mained for several weeks, taking
treatment and being under cbserva
tion by specialists. Later he became

relief than through an operation,

until the time of his death.
Funeral sevrices were held Wed

their tribute of respect and honor to
this excellent gentleman.

Artificial
Device Keeps Up
Circulation
Scientists Test Rubber Pockets Which
Pump Blood to Arteries and Veins
in Bodies 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!as3( tubes. An elec
trie 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.

Camp Enjoyed by
Large Number
Mrs. Tony Klimm and Mrs. William

Took Part in Camp.
The annual summer rest camp for
mothers has just closed at Camp
Brewster, near Omaha and attended
by a very large number of the ladies
of the eastern section of Nebraska
to participate in the excellent pro
grams that had been a part of the
camp activities.
The weather proved ideal during
the period of the camp and it was
one of the most successful and en

that have been held in the past.

in attendance and among those was
Mrs. Tor.y Klimm of near Murray

this community were heard, Mrs. Roy
O. Cole, pianist and Miss Janet
Westover, reader, their offerings be
ing much enjoyed by the camp party.
In a series of talks was one by D.
Wood of Lincoln, who gave a most
interesting talk on the wheat allot-
ment plan and discussed the new law.
Mrs. W. H Gaines of Lincoln, was
musical director of the camp and led
in the many beautiful songs and was
heard in many special offerings. Mrs.
Gaines presented Mrs. Walter W.
Weed of Lincoln in a piano concert
on Thursday night at the camp.
A book review, which is a feature
of the camp, was given by Mrs.
Gaines, the book selected for review
being "Forgiving Our Tresspasses,"
by Lloyd Douglass.
During the camp period a party
of some 43 chartered a bus and drove
to Omaha where they visited the

the building by Paul Grumann, direc

club leader, was also on the program

one of the representatives of Ne

The camp has been promoted and
made such a success by the efforts of
Mary Ellen Brown or Lincoln, who
was one of the leaders at the camp
and the ladies all felt very grateful
for her Interest in the club work and
the camp.
One gold star mother as well as
a lady from London, England, were
in attendance at the camp during
the week.
A group of the campers were takei
on a hike through the Gifford bird
preserve where they enjoyed the
many feathered natives of Nebraska,
returning with appetites well whet
ted for the fine breakfast awaiting
them.
In the round table discussions the
ladies took up the subject, "What Aid
We Get Out of Our Taxes," a most
interesting subject.
The camp was one of rest and re
creation and the ladies at the camp
enjoyed the most perfect rest and
were served by the well organized
staff with the most delicious meals
while they were at the camp.
To rest a while from work and care.
Where all is beautiful and still.
And just gaze where distant hill
tops rise.
Camp Brewster is where we find
Green wooded slopes and cabins for
all.
We find a glimpse of highway here
and there,
And the bathing beach is grand,
A beautiful view all over the land.
Forgotten are the life's little cares
A vacation at Camp Brwster is
worthwhile,
As every little care grows less.
And to rest awhile from work and
cares,
The four days pass by too soon,
But we - all are glad to get home
again.
