Los Angeles. Cal.-Twenty feet OF
silver wire coiled inside OF the aorta-

Richard Wheaton, a retired British
soldier. now n patient at the county
hospital. He is recovering from one
OF the most delicate and dangerous
operations known to modern surgery.
DIR. d. C. Barber. superintendent of

The patient was suffering from an
aneurism. At one point in the aorta
the wall OF the artery was so thin that
pressure OF the blood had all but
blown 1t out. II was decided to In
terpose an artificial wall in front of
the wounded spot. The artery was
disclosed and a hollow needle was
thrust into 1t. The fine silver wire
was passed through the hole in the
needle. 1t was so fine that when the
end came in contact with the opposite
wall Of the artery II turned. and as
more wire was pushed in it curved
round and round. forming a spiral
the size of the artery. and this trav-

where in the earth. and went on to

he had placed it, further than that 1t

thought he was "stung." but he paid
the dollar.
Nothing more happened until q
month ago. when Betsy was found in

a hen in her kitchen. Mrs. Burt shooed
her out. and was surprised to find an
egg nesting in the shavings. The egg

there was a map with a little star at

Then Mccormick took affairs in hand
Seeing the matter required careful

In righting n municipal wrong.
The chief Of police was aghast when
Mccormick made his request. as his
absence would deplete the force and
the other policemen in the town would
have double patrol duty to do. but
granted the request.
In n few days he was back on the
Job. a smile Of satisfaction spread
over his countenance. The tramp
problem was solved.
Tramps who applied for lodging
and supper were surprised at the kind
way in which they were received.
Never in all their tramp lives had
they been escorted to the supper table
with such grace.
Then came a cot and then breakfast

Immediately after their morning re.

Immediately given ten days in the city

CHARITY.

(By Louis C. Fraina New York;
The futility and bankruptcy OF Char
ity Is today a demonstrated fact. One
is appalled, at the poverty and misery
rampant in society, and Charity stands
impotent and aghast before II. To
seek TO alleviate the horrors of pow
crty with the puerile methods of Char
lty is comparable TO the efforts OF the
fool who would empty the mighty
ocean with a tin cup. For nineteen
hundred years Christian Charity
has sought to stem the tide of misery
and poverty. minlstcring to the poor
and the needy. the weak and the un-
fortunate; vet misery has risen high
er and higher, its wall more bitter
and heart-rending. All It's efforts have
been but delusion and a snarc-a
delusion and snare in that Charity
sought TO abolish state of misery in

injustice were co-eXistent in society.
