Returns Office Boys at

Denver, Colo. Somewhere In Den

But It Is only in the reports of an

to the United States Internal revenue
officers by Denver corporations that
these salaries appear.
Under corporation tai law salaries
are deducted from the net total sum
taxable. Revenue officers say the total
of salaries this year as shown by the
returns has taken an enormous Jump.
If some of the reports are true, they
say, there are many firms In Denver
who are giving away money every day.

SKIN IN COLD STORAGE
CUTICLE KEPT ON ICE FOR A
MONTH IS STILL ALIVE.
'hyslclans Discover That Skin Taken
from the Human Body May Be
Kept In Healthy Condition
Indefinitely.
Philadelphia, Pa. Through the suc
cessful outcome, of an operation, per
formed on 18-year-old Anna Windt, the
physicians at the Samaritan hospital
have made a discovery which may be
of Incalculable benefit In the grafting
of skin. The discovery is that skin
taken from the human body may be
kept in a healthy condition for an in
definite period and that it may then
be used to replace skin that has been
burned or otherwise destroyed.
Early this year a man entered the
Samaritan hospital to have an opera
tion performed. This operation in
cluded the removal of thirty-two
square inches of skin from his abdo
men. Dr. Babcock had this carefully
rolled up and put on ice until he
should be ready for the experiment.
This was made thirty-five days after
the skin had been removed from the
male patient. Twenty square inches
were taken, smoothed out, and care
fully put in place on the girl's arm.
For several days the arm was ex
amined minutely and then it became
apparent that the frozen skin was "ta
king hold" to the natural skin with as
much firmness as if it had been taken
directly from living: flesh.
