tire collection Of paintings to the Ital-
ian nation, if he were permitted to
sell "Raphael's Sacred and Profane
Love- abroad, for which he had been
offered 5000, 900 lire. but the govern

best known works in it are Corregio's

ANNUAL DINNER OF THE GRID
IRON CLUE.
ALL MIRTHA and MERRIMENT
Fun and Jokes at Expense Of Promi-
nent People Present as
Guests.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The black
and white flag of the Gridiron club
floated over the Arlington hotel all day
and tonight the Washington CORE
spondents composing that famous or.
ganization assembled beneath their
emblem for the seventeenth annual
dinner. When President Robert
j. Wynne called the members and
guests to order, more than 200 gen.
tlemen had gathered in the handsome
ly decorated banquet hall and for four
hours were entertained with the many
interesting and unique features of a
gridiron dinner. These included bur-
lesques upon passing events, caustic
hits and roasts of the prominent
guests present, songs and glees and
speeches with the usual witty inter
pOlatiOns.
The menu card was a newspaper,
1.-THE Yellow Yap," and a more sensa
ton paper never has been issued in
Washington. 1t was profusely illus
trated and contained many pertinent
illusions to guests and public affairs.
One of the best features was a "coun-
try school," in which a gridiron class
gave an exhibition, answering ques-
tons upon various timely topics,
which usually turned into jokes upon
some of the guests. The school had
songs, recitations and compositions
for the same purpose. "Senor Macar-
roni," personated by a member of the
club, gave an exhibition of wireless
biography pictures, showing in anus
ing cartoons a number Of pubic men
and their close connection with recent
events. The selection Of a delegation
to welcome Prince Henry afforded an
opportunity for more fun at the ex-
pense of men who are prominent in
public life. Reciprocity was given a

SAILING WILL BE WITHOUT CERE-

EMPEROR TAKES INTEREST

Detail Eeven to Table

Berlin, Jan. 25.-When Emperor
William bids Prince Henry of Prussia
farewell, prior to the latter's depar-
,ture for the United States, their part
ing will be a simple, private affair.
No speeches for publication will be
exchanged. The leave taking will as.
sumo the form of a military act in
which an INC receives the last in
structions from his sovereign before
going on an important mission. 1t
is understood hat his majesty will
give Prince Henry a written memo
randa of what he wishes his royal
Roosevelt.
Prince Henry, who is now here, will
return to Kiel. February 10, and re-
main there till he goes to Bremen to
embark for the United States. The
various members of the princes party
will assemble at Bremen, February
IA. The sailing of Prince Henry will
not be marked by any special cere-
mony. nor so far as known, will any
member of the royal house see the
price off.
The foregoing arrangements were
communicated to the Associated Press
today, but it is still quite possible that
Emperor William will disregard the
programme and bid farewell to his
brother in a more public manner al
Bremen. This at least is the hope of
some Of the members Of the suite =.
The dinner to be given in Prince
Henrys' honor under the auspices of
the New York Stats Zeitung, by the
press of the United States is the
feature of the princes diversion which
is attracting the most attention here.
Prince Henry himself asked partic-
ularly about this feature of the pro-
gramme, and when told that some of
the editors would probably travel 3,DO0
miles to be present he expressed won
der.
DR.. Barth says in the Nation today:
: ANC L In llSAIy /, DIS Clc I0plcSCuL-
alive of the German emperor, comes
in Immediate contact with the press,
is a particularly happy thought. The
modern spirit inspiring the whole ex-
petition is brought sharply into view
through the emperors' brother be-
coming the guest of journalists"
Prince Henry's attitude toward the
press, when in the United States, has
been the subject of consideration by
his counselors. While the prince will
not be interviewed, he desires to show
respect for the profession and will
give an audience to the newspaper
men, with the understanding that he
is not to be quoted. What the prince
has to say will be issued through Of
fetal channels.
Every detail of the trip interests
Emperor William, who has even CIV
en- instructions regarding the flowers
which will grace the tables at the
luncheon on board the Hohenzollen.
His majesty has maps of Berlin and
New York, on the same scale. When
he first compared them, the other day.
the emperor remarked: why, New
York would stretch to Potsdam." His
majesty then asked a member of his
household the number of New York's
inhabitants. New York has 3,0OO,-
0OO." was the reply. mo, 1000, O00,"
said the emperor. His majesty has
taken the leading New York news
papers since Prince Henry's trip was
planned, has marked articles which
he thought would interest the princes
suite and has sent them to the prince.

TRIUMPH OF SURGERY.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 29.-As a result
of the operation by the famous ohio
pedic surgeon of Vienna, DR.. Lorenz,
the little daughter of J. Ogden Ar
mour is able to walk for the first time
in her life.
The case of Lol Ia Armour has become
famous. She was born in August, 1891,
so frail and delicate that her chances
of living seemed slight. After many
weeks in an incubator and upon her
removal it was discovered she was
afflicted with congenital dislocation
of the hips. The X rays were applied
and the surgeons saw that the sockets
Of the babes hip joints were saucer
shaped instead Of presenting cup-like
depressions in which the ball joints
could work The femurs or thigh
bones were besides considerably short
Of the sockets in the pelvic bone. An
operation was performed two years
ago with but comparatively little re-
suit, and Mr.. Armour went abroad
the past summer to bespeak the SER
vices of DR.. Lorenz
The operation was performed by DR..
Lorenz on October IL, assisted by DR..
Friedrich Muller, who accompanied
him from Vienna for the purpose 1t
required two hours. Lolita was placed
under the influence of anaesthetics and
DR.. Lorenz proceeded to draw down
the limb until it was in line with the
hip socket and so that the femur or
hip bone. came below the socket of
the hip into which it ought normally
to fit. Then it was pressed in until
the femur rested against the socket as
it should.
The limb WAS then encased in
platser of paris from the hip down to
line just above the knee cap, in
order to hold it in place. The cast
was so adjusted that the flesh was not
unduly pressed and it contained ap-
pliances by which the skin underneath
could be kept clean. The operation
was not painful in comparison with
the old methods when the knife was
| employed.
Twelve days later Lolita was taken
for a drive. Within two or three
days following the operation she had

ton that he believed Lolita would be
able within six months to walk fol
the first time in her life.

Her right leg is still encased in the

slightly at an angle to the body and fol
this reason it is necessary for her tC

DR.. Lorenz will return to his owl
country soon but he leaves will
American surgeons the benefit to b'
derived from actual observation of hi
operations and of them he says:
"The surgeons of An erica are o
the highest standard, and there is n
reason why this worn should not b
carried on successfully. If my journe,
to America has demonstrated that us
of the knife is unnecessary to correc
hip dislocations among children, the

has been as well paid as my world

OLD RECORDS

Eighty years have wrought remak-
able changes in the postal facilities of
Vermont as shown by the records of
1922. when there were 1863 pOst-oitices
in the State, as against 800 and 10
sub-stations today, Then there was
annually paid by the citizens Of the
State on the postage Of letters, papers
and pamphlets about $50, 0O0 repre-
senting about one-fourth the amount
paid today for salaries in the forty
six presidential Offices in Vermont.
Brattleborc then paid the largest sal
airy of any office in the State, 5000. 80
At that time there were but two for
eign-born postmasters in the lot. both
coming from Scotland. Today there
is one office Burlington, to which the
handsome salary of SO, 300 attaches,
the next highest being that of Rut-
land, 81, 800, while two postmas-
tiers are paio 81, 600 each. -Brattleboro
