Remarkable Operation at Washing

cessfuI. a-s.. era.

WASHINGTON. March 16.-What is pro-
nounced a feat in surgery was an opera
ton on the brain of Russell Dulin, an IL
year-old lad. performed at Georgetown
hospital yesterday. The boys brain was
seriously impaired because OF a humorous
growth and this produced something akin
TO q r~aralytic condition. The right lobe Of
the brain became affected more than a
year ago and the boys left side suffered a
stroke of paralysis. His condition recently
became dangerous. The surgeon mad an
~incision in the scalp and drilled an orifice
in the bone OF sufficient size to enable
him to use his forceps. The humorous
growth was removed and 1t is said that the
child's brain will assume Its normal func-
tions, in time becoming entirely healthy.
II the operation is successful the muscles
and endons OF the child's body will relax
and he will gain strength steadily,

Game Preserve ImpracticabIe.
Constituents Of Senator Burkett recently
suggested the creation of a fish and game
preserve under the forest service in the
uplands of western Nebraska, where there
are many small lakes. and asked the senior
Nebraskan to bring the matter before the
department as the best means Of protecting
the game in that section from extermina-
tion.
Senator Burkett has just received a let
ter from the forest service in which 1t is
stated that the suggestion is not practical,
in view of the fact that much of the land
in question has been patented.

The discriminating theatergoer does not

they are played by the actors and ac-

brated. There are many who do this
yearly. and who spend from a week 10

to these to learn that for the winter OF

York City promise 10 be far above the

note another fact-that the Hotel St

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

! An echo OF the recent war game is
heard in the story OF foot troubles from
which the militiamen generally suffered.
They came from two sources-unsuitable
shoes and ignorance Of the proper method

that while there is a regulation army

ture of the militia uniform which does not
receive strict attention.

The choice OF footwear settles the
comfort of many outside the militia Po-
licemen wear carefully selected shoes.
and so do professional athletes. A few
women have walking boots with thick
