history has been found by Max Tewel,
York, Pa, tailor, in disused corner
of the attic over his shop. On paper.

wrapped, is written: Take good care
of this flag. 1t was made in 177S." In
asmuch as the first flag of its kind was
made by Betsy Ross year later, Mr..
Tewel does not vouch for the correct

stripes were cut out by hand and
sewed together with apparently much
care and labor.

With three-fourths of his stomach

The operation which brought the
stomach within the bottle was per-
formed recently by DR.. William B.
Van Lennep. 1t was the last desper-

was a sufferer from cancer of the
stomach and the involvment was so
great that death seemed to be immi-

Every precaution was taken to pre-
vent recurrence of the malignant
growth and to insure against blood
poisoning. Removal of the diseased
part was made with instruments heat
ed by an electrical battery. A flap of
the intestines was then sewed to the
small pocket left by the remaining
portion of the stomach and the usual
openings left for drainage.

The operation has excited extraordi-
nary interest In the hospitals and
among surgeons. 1t is as rare as it
was daring.

a member may sit wherever he

wear their hats, exceptswhen taking
