Has a Finger for a Nose.

Baltimore, Md.-The story of a
girl who has a finger tip for nose
and of a man who has finger
nail growing out of his nose was
related by DR.. DR.. J. NJ. T. Fin
ney at the meeting of the Southern
Surgical and genealogical Society
at the Johns Hopkins Hospital

he had grated the girls little FIN
ger on her face where her nose
should have been and then anu
putated it. The patient is now a
presentabIe looking child.
DR.. Finney also described sim
liar operation performed on base

finger had been transplanted to
his face it was discovered that a
trace of the finger nail had not
been removed and that it persisted
in keeping on growing. Thus the
poor man has to cut it regularly
between his eyes.

by the Japs. and the Mikado's peo-
pie have taken the larger and
richer archipelago, which is hence
forth to be their home. The Moros
refused to move, and the Japs
drowned them.

Gilliland and ,Courtright Said
to Have a Measure Ready
For Introduction
PROVISIONS NOT VET KNOWN
courtrght Opposed the crossley Bill
And Claimed 1t Was Defective Le-
gaIIy-Like'y That the New Bill Will
Be Optional Like the Saunders Sub
stitute Which Was Defeated.
fBy Ora Williams.

Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, March 6.--Senator
COPYRIGHT, of Waterloo. has remained
III the city during the recess adjourn
ment OF the legislature. and for a time
Senator Gilliland was with him per-
fecting a primary election bill, which
they will introduce soon In the senate or
have somebody introduce in the house.
The DILL is Il stanthpat bill. Gilliland
remained here till FRIDAY night TO work
on the measure with Courtright. Sem
ator COPYRIGHT prides himself on his
knowledge OF constitutional law and is
considered one of the leaders of the
legal profession in that line in the
state He is working on a bill that is
expected to be perfect along those
lines. Senator COPYRIGHT made a
speech in the senate against the Cross
ley bill, in which he took 1t up section
by section and analysed 1t and at
tempted to point out gross plumbers
in it. His purpose was to so expose
the legal objections to the bill that 1t
could never get anywhere, let alone
past the senate. In the bill that he is
working on and is understood to have
nearly completed. he is steering clear
of all legal pitfalls and objections and
is attempting to draft a bill that will
be legally perfect. 1t is presumed that
States senators and will require ma
jority selection of candidates This
latter was one of the strong objections
~ @1,.z s,.,1~ -
he always spoke of it as a plurality
primary bill" Just what the main
provisions of the COPYRIGHT bill are
cannot be learned, but 1t is presumed
that in addition to those named it will
be a county primary bill only and quite
likely will have an optional provision.
1t will likely, too, have provisions such
that it will not go into effect till after
the coming general election.
The Military Bill.
Representative Hart has been quite
busy. and for this reason largely the
military bill has not been reported
sooner from the subcommittee. There
are some strong friends Of the bill out
side of the Legislature who have wor-
ried somewhat at the delay In report
ing out the bill. They have feared that
there was something wrong and that
possibly there was opposition develop
ing to t,le bill that might defeat it. tho
they were, not willing to admit their
fears. As a matter of fact, the sub
committee is strongly for the bill and
there isSSno danger but that IT viii go
thru the committee at least. and as
reasonable surety as there can be in
such matters that 1t will pass both
houses. There is some opposition to
the bill, but no more than there has
been for some time.
The only rnatter on for special order
today was the Kmme bill to unity the
matter of school years, which came up
in the senate at $3.50.
