SURGEON CRAFTS
NEW THIGH BONE

COPENHAGEN, March 18-The
world-famed Danish surgeon, Prof.
Revising, who carly in 1912 visited
America and delivered several lee
lures which attracted great atten-
ton, has just reluctantly, made
known a wonderful operation, a
bone transportation, which he has
undertaken with marvellous results.
The patient is a young lady, a
relative of Prof Rovsing. She had
swelling in the lower portion of
the thigh bone, which under ordi-
nary treatment, would necessitate
the amputation of the leg.
The professor then decided to per-
form bone transportation. The af-
fected thigh bone was removed and,
pending the opportunity of obtain
ing fresh thighbone, Prof. Row
sing, in the meantime inserted an
old bone so as to prevent the mus
cles from contracting.
Six weeks later a fresh thigh bone
was obtained by the amputation OF
the leg of another person. The in
valid's leg was Roentengen photo
graphed so as to ascertain whether
there was a fresh swelling. This
proved not to be the case. The tenn
porary thigh bone was then removed
and the fresh thigh bone, first hav-
ing been made to fit, was inserted.
The skin was then sewn together.
AT the last examination it had
grown together with the rest of the
patients own thigh bone and had
entirely grown together with the
patients shin bone.
The patient will be able to walk
although the leg naturally will be
rather stiff

FOR DARE DEVILTRY
THIS MAN IS LIMIT

NEW YORK, March, 20.-What
will probably go down in the city's
history as the final limit in fool
hardy attempts to dare deviltry
took place this week when a man
attempted to have himself shot hall
a mile into the air in a giant rocket
and then to come to earth by means
of a parachute.
That the attempt failed and that
the man was not killed are points OF
minor consideration in the eyes
of those who have gloated over
such stunts ever since Sweeney is
said to have made his famous jump
from Brooklyn Bridge.
The man who attempted this last
piece of superlative foolishness al
ready has a considerable record
for feats of this kind, having jumped
from the Statue of Liberty with
parachute, scaled flylike the out
side walks of skyscrapers and stoo
on his head on top of the flagpole

cording to his statement he can fall

BUSTED JUSTICE
WANTS BACK SALARY
From Thursdays DanyJ

There is one ousted justice of the
peace in this county, legally elected
who will take the matter of the
payment of his salary into the
courts forthwith, and that individu-
al is E. E Breed, of Mt Union
precinct, who arrived here yester-
day.
He states that he made a demand
for his monthly salary, and the
same was rejected about thirty days
ago, while the appointed justices
were in the full enjoyment of their
Offices and he was sidetracked.
Judge Breed at the time when the
hasco of appointing these officials
was being carried out, informed the
board of supervisors that their ac-
ton was illegal, and so stipulated in
his demands made for his customary
salary, which was refused. Whether
there are any other justices of the
peace affected in recovering their
past three months salaries or not,
he states he will take the matter
into the courts independent of any
other justice, and although the sum
involved is nominal, he will fight it
out on the line of principle and ie-
gality if it takes all summer

UNIQUE PLAN TO
REDUCE COST
Of LIVING
Store VIII Sell Food
To Employees At
Actual Price

NEW YORK, March 21.-The
most advanced step which New
York has yet taken in the attempt
to solve the cost of living problem,
and one which may ultimately be
copied throughout the country as
we'll as the city itself occurred here
this week with the opening of the
first food at cost" store in which
victuals will be sold at their actual
purchase price with no charge for
operation, salaries or overhead ex-
penses. In spite of the fact that
this store is to be operated by a
street railway company solely for
the benefit OF its employees and will
not be open to the public, it will be
watched with particular interest.
This store marks the completion
of a plan of the railway company
to deal practically and effectively
with the question of the high cost
of living Every article in the store
is to be sold at cost. Salaries of
clerks and butchers, rent and taxes,
and all the running expenses are
to be borne by the railway company
and are not to figure in the deter
mination of selling prices. Any
one of the $4,000 employees of the
company may buy at the store upon
presentation of a membership card.
If the plan proves a success five
other similar stores will be opened
in Manhattan as near as possible
to the various car barns. In this
way the $4,000 employees of the
railway company will be able to
take advantage of the greatly re-
duced prices with practically no in
convenience. In time, also, the
stores will deal, in clothing, shoes
and house furnishings. A saving
of some thirty percent is expected
and If this expectation proves true
New York may yet enter an en-
tirely new scheme OF cooperative

is pretty generally credited with
having more lives than a whole fam
lily OF cats, so that a good many
persons seemed to be put out when
the sky rocket trip failed.
The rocket was shaped like the
ordinary kind, but was made of
steel and was ten feet long and
three feet in diameter. For a stick
a thirty-four foot telegraph pole
was used and the charge was 900
pounds of powder. At the too was
a loose cover opening into a COM
partment about four feet high and
thirty inches in dimeter in which
Law sat with his parachute. The
whole affair had been tried out sue
cessfully ION a smaller scale with a
dog as a passenger, but when the
fuse of the giant rocket was ignited
with the man sitting in his compart-
ment the charge proved too heavy
for the material, and the rocket in
stead of rushing skyward simply
burst into thousands of pieces. By
some miraculous chance Law was
thrown about fifty feet receiving onlf
minor cuts and bruises.
Whether another attempt will be
made to sky rocket him off the
earth it is not known, but it seems
that any feat of more
foolhardy character is likely to ex-
cite New Workers for many years
to come.

GREAT WASTE OF
HUMAN LIFE YEARLY

NEW YORK, March. 19.-That
New York aside from being the
most extravagant city financially in
the country is also the greatest
spendthrift so far as the lives Of
its citizens are concerned, is the
startling arrangement made as the re-
suit of the investigations of the
conservation commissioner of one
of the city's great insurance COM
panies
Not less than thirty thousand lives
a year are unnecessarily lost here
according to his report, or enough
to populate a good sized city. The
commissioner bases his statement on
the ground that this number Of
deaths is due to preventable or post
ponable disease alone, chiefly be-
cause of the failure of the city to
build up and maintain a health ser
vice large enough to cope with this
problem Out of the $50 per capita
which the city spends to run its
government only 65 cents is allowed
for public health service.
Even more striking, though repre-
senting a smaller total loss of life,
are the latest figures which show
that during the past year Manhat-
tan's daily average of violent deaths
was more then seven. In all 2,7l2
violent deaths were reported in the
twelve months, including shootings.
Standings, suicides, automobile &C
cidents and the like. During the
year there were 1913 homicides, of
these ia were due to shootings
q to stabbing, % to assaults, 10
TO malpractice, II to infanticide, 5
to gas and l to poison. Gas con-
tinued to be the most popular means
of suicide, since out of IA cases
1888 were due to this means
Eighty-nine were by shooting, %
by cutting, SO by leaps from windows
and roofs, IS by leaps in front of
trains or automobiles, 81 by hanging
81 by poison and 2 by drowning
One of the most astonishing facts
revealed by these mortality figures
is that of 4l2 persons found dead,
14o were never identified Altogether
the charge OF wastefulness Of human
life seems to be strongly borne out
out and it is hoped that realiz-
alton of the existing conditions will
result in a movement for its con-
servation.
