GIVES HIS BLOOD TO SAVE LIVES OF WIFE
 AND UNBORN CHILD

Hartford, July 30.-By resorting to a combination of operations two lives have been saved at St Francis Hos pital and the surgeons, quietly exultant at their success, predict that Mrs. Jo- sephine Lipton,. of Bloomfield, and her twelve pound son will live.
 The main operation consisted of Caesarian\ section. Before that, how evei, the hazardous recourse of blood transfusion was necessary and again after the birth of the child at second transfer of life-giving fluid was deem ed essential.
 Mrs. Lipton was so weak when she was taken to the hospital it was be- lieved that her life and that of her un- born son would be sacrificed. Her hus- band, .Adolph, hardy and robust by dint of outdoor work learned of +Ise physi- clans fears and begged for a chance to aid the patient.
 At first the surgeons refused 10 ac- cept his offer. because they feared he might get nervous and cause h.s wife to become hysterical, q condition that theJ sought to avoid, but at last they changed their minds
 For thirty minutes Lipton's heart pumped the life saving fluid into his wife's arteries and then she was taken to an operating. table. After the sur geons had finished the transfusion was repeated. Both then were placed in cots in the main ward, while the nurses cared for Master Lipton, who smiled and kicked, his little feet, un- aware of the perils attending his ad- vent into the world

THE EXPRESS MONOPOLY
 A PARASITE

Government ownership of express companies is an imperative necessity as shown by the commission's ruling, ;" argues Representative Lewis, co-au- thor of the Cooke bill, to this end
 The commissions order is an argu- ment for the bill, but the order does not reach the farmers and cannot be made to do so. In any event it will probably be held up for years in the courts The relation of the express companies to their traffic is purely parasitic and regulations cannot be made to secure relief. There is but one remedy. for human or tranSporta- tion parasites, and that is to elimin- ate them entirely
 Representative Lewis advances the only possible solution to the problem of regulating the express compan- ieS Any attempt to temporize would indubitably be met by legal quibble continued subterfuge, fragrant men or all rulings made with the. intent to curtail their piracies and wholesale pocket-picking.
 Welding as they do, an oligarchic power over the courts of the country, the legal interpretation" of legisla- tive enactments directed towards the regulation" of charges, zones, etc, would prove a joy forever to the ex- press companies.
 The attempt to bring their business within the zone of honesty, fair deal. ing and economic justice, is fore doomed to failure. We have had pitt fully ludicrous examples of this abor- tive tinkering in the late farce come! dies enacted for the edification of the hoipolloi, in which Tobacco Jim, Oily John, and the Slaughterer played the screamingly funny role of Williams.
