STONY SHELL GROWS
SLOWLY OVER GIRL,
INCASING HER BODY
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 13,
The spectre of a slow though pain-
less death from calcinosis, which, ii
unchecked, ultimately will incase her
limbs and body in a stony shell, like
the shards of a beetle, hovers over
19 year old Gertrude von Ravens-
berg.
Staff doctors of the Los Angeles
County General Hospital, who are
treating the girl, said Saturday that
in the few cases recorded the disease
has been fatal in about ten years.
“Death follows the hardening of
the chest wall, which prevents breath-
ing,” one of them explained.
To all appearances Miss von Ra~
vensberg is the picture of health, ex-
cept for two large and several small-
er shell-like formations on each of
her legs.
“They are not painful,” she said,
“except when the edges are pushed
against the encircling soft tissues by
pressure of the fingers or by bending
over.
“I can walk, yes, but I want to
climb mountains, take long hikes. I
want to dance and run and jump
like any other human being.”
Ossified spots appeared on her legs
about three years ago. They grad-
ually spread and for a year she was
bedridden.
For the last year and a half Miss
yon Raverisberg has been able to stand
and walk. Doctors explained that
calcinosis does not affect' the mus-
cles, but only the surface tissue, un-
derneath the skin.
FIRST HEAD OF HOUSTON
LAND BANK EXPIRES
DALLAS, May 13.—M. H. Gossett,
75, first president of the Federal Land
Bank of Houston, former member of
the Texas legislature and author -of
important Texas laws, died Sunday
at the home here of a daughter, Mrs.
W. M. Anderson.
Gossett was born February 3, 1859,
in Cherokee County, Texas, and mov-
ed with his parents to Henderson
County while a boy. He received his
education in public schools of that
county and later studied law n the
office of Manion & Adams at Kauf-
man. He was admitted to the bar
in 1881.
He moved to Athens and practiced
law several years, and -was elected
county attorney of Henderson Coun-
ty, serving from 1883 to 1885. Later
he moved to Kaufman and was active
in law practice there ur^i 1906. In
December, 1884, he married Miss
Willie Mason of Kemp, Kaufman
County.
In 1891 and 1893 he was elected
to the legislature from Kaufman
County and became active in sup-
port of legislation advocated by Gov-
ernor James Stephen Hogg. He was
one of the late Governor Hogg’s clos-
est personal friends and political ad-
visers.
Gossett was author of the Texas
alien land law and was leader in the
house and co-author when the exist-
ing stock and bond law was passed
at the behest of Governor Hogg.
He moved to Dallas in 1906 and
formed a law partnership with W.
J. J. Smith; was president for a time
of the Sam Houston Life Insurance
Co.; then retired to his extensive
farms in Henderson County, where
he lived several years.
When the Federal Land Bank of
Houston was organzed in 1917, Gos-
sett was elected president by the
board of directors, meeting in Wash-
ington, and served as president un-
til 1932, when he became chairman
of the board, at Houston. He serv-
ed until January 1, 1934, when he
resigned because of ill health and
returned to Dallas.
Gossett was active in Masonic or-
ders for many years.
Survivors are his widow; four chil-
dren, Gary M. Gossett, Houston; Mrs.
L. W. Kinnear, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs
William M. Anderson, Dallas; and
Mrs. L. E. Bruce, Houston; a brother,
E. F. Gossett, Houston, and three
sisters, Mrs. T. B. Mason, Fort Worth;
Mrs. W. J. Greer, Wabash, Ind., and
Mrs. O. R. Erwin, Dallas.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
(Contributed)
“Adam and Fallen Man” was the
subject of the lesson-sermon which
was read in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist, on Sunday, May 13. The
golden text was “As in Adam all
die, even so in Christ shall all be
made alive” (1 Cor. 15:22). Among
th!o( citations whicjh comprised the
lesson-sermon is the following from
the Bible: “And the Lord God called
unto Adam, and said unto him /where
art thou?” (Genesis 3:9).
Ttyie Iesson/-sermon also included
the following passage from the Chris-
tian Science textbook, “Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures”:
“Adam, represented in the scriptures
as formed from dust, is an object-
lesson for the human mind.. The ma-
terial senses, like Adam, originate in
matter and return to dust, are proved
non-intelligent. They go out as they
came in, for they are still the error,
not the truth of being. When it is
learned that the spiritual sense, and
not the material, conveys the im-
pressions of Mind to man, then be-
ing will be understood and found to
be harmonious.” (page 214).
