BONE REMOVED FROM LEG.
Unusual Operation Performed at
MarshalltOwn Hospital On
Young Man.

Marshalltown, June AN unus-
ual surgical operation was performed
in local hospital when a sesamoid
bone was removed from the right
knee OF Bert NJ. Graf, % years old, a
clerk employed by the Iowa Railway
and Light company
The small piece of supenumerary
bone, shaped much like an elk
tooth, and about the size, has been
bothering Graf for four years. Its
growth is supposed to be due to ir-
ritation of some kind. When the
bone was at one side of the joint
Graf was not bothered, but when it
slipped into the joint the knee be-
came locked, and nothing could
bulge the leg.

Farm Women Die Earlier Than Men.

Farm and Fireside, an agricultur-
al paper published at Springfield,
Ohio, contains an interesting account
Of farm life as viewed from the
standpoint of women. The author
of the article Ga woman) says that
as the farm becomes more prosper
Gus, the farmer has more help-both
men and machinery, while the work
of his wife is increased-more peo-
pie to cook and wash dishes for,
more fruit, more chickens and milk
to attend to. In the majority of
cases, the farmers wife does not
have help as her work becomes
heavier. The author goes on to say:
1T is a statistical fact that farm
women die earlier than do farm
men, and that those who survive the
years of drudgery break in health
sooner than do the men. The oppo-
site is true in town. There is no
doubt in my mind that the biggest
factor in the development of this
state of affairs is the woeful lack
of labor-saving contrivances in the
farm woman's home. Many houses
in the country are still without that
greatest of labor kitchen
sink, a sink with a pump or faucet
and with a drain leading out from
it, The carrying in and out of wat
er is theSmost laborious and back
breaking task of all the hard tasks
belonging to the house-keeper. There
is no substitute for kitchen sink.
If you can add but one thing TO
your home this year, and if you have
no kitchen sink, let that be the adj
dition."

Some Automobiles.

The town of Grundy Center with
a population of about 1900 has
1O1 automobiles, or an auto for ev-
cry thirteen inhabitants. The cost
of the autos was $4,000, or an
average of $1,100 per car. The eX-
penditure of $4,000 for automo-
biles and the annual up-keep by
/ 300 people may in a measure &C
count to an extent for the high cost
of living, as the Grundy Center
case doubtless has countless parallel
cases over the United States.

LYNCH WINS POINT IN
100000 LIBEL SUIT
Court Refuses to Dismiss Action
Against Manufacturer
No Desire for Delay.

Justice Gavegan denied yesterday a
motion by counsel for John Kirby. jr. and
other officers of the National Association
Of Manufacturers in a suit brought ny
James NJ. Lynch, president OF the Inter
national Typographical Union. to dismiss
Lynchs action TO recover 10000 lam

PENDANTS that the union represented by
Lynch was responsible for dynamiung
The Los Angeles Times"
The statement attributed TO Kirby and
his associates said that the destruction OF
the Los Angeles plant was in line with
the general policy of criminal unionism.
The dismissal was sought by the defend
ants OH the ground that the plaintiff had
failed to prosecute the action. Counsel for
Lynch said there was no desire for delay.
but that when the suit was brought there
were labor questions before the public
that made the trial inadvissble. This sit
uation had been cleared up. the attorney
said, and time had proved that the Typo
graphical Union had no connection with
the dynamiting plot. Also. IL had been
shown by a Congressional investigation.
| he said, that the National Association OF
Manufacturers had maintained "a PENN
cious lobby TO influence legislation against

CONV|CTS ADMIT THEY
GET DRUGS IN SING SING
Morphine, Cocaine, Herein and
Others Easily Struggled In.
They Tell Investigators.
KEEPERS WINK AT TRAFFIC
John D. Riley, superintendent
of Prisons, Forces Score to
Confess Friends Brought
Poison In to Them.

An investigation yesterday by John D.
Riley, Superintendent Of Prisons, and
Warden Clancy proved conclusively that
convicts in Sing Sing prison have ways
of getting morphine. cocaine, heroin and
other drugs. Some convicts admitted they
tmuggled letters out OF the prison telling
friends and relatives where the drugs
might be obtained in Manhattan or
BROOKLYN. When their correspondents
paid their next visits TO the prison they
had no difficulty in handing the drugs TO
the convicts.
The law against indiscriminate selling
and use Of these drugs was passed re-
Gently as a result Of a campaign waged oy
The Tribune.
In several cases the convicts implicated
guards, keepers and inspectors or the
prison, and at the end Of yesterdays IN
vestigation Superintendent Riley said he
would inquire rigidly into that phase OF
the case. Any employee found guilty OF
aiding prisoners in obtaining the drugs
will be summarily dismissed, said the su-
perintendent. who intimated there Wouiu
be several changes in the personnel OF the
prison staff about the first OF the year
Recently some Of the convicts showed
o,a,n,v thew were under the influence OF
drugs. and after they had been trans
ferred 10 the prison hospital for treat
,nent Warden Clancy questioned them.
The men all refused. however, TO tell
row they obtained the drugs. After sew
pral vain attempts TO wrest the secret
from them the warden reported the mat
ter 10 Superintendent Riley.
Riley decided TO start an investiga-
ton Yesterday. and he and Clancy exam
tined thirty Of the convicts. The men were
stubborn for a long time, but finally about
twenty admitted that dope had been
smuggled into them and described the
manner In which IL was done. The guards
and keepers would always conveniently
turn their backs, they said, when the
friends turned over the dope" The con-
victs said they liked the 10y riding
effects Of the drugs.
The prison officials will devote t:eir
efforts toward finding out who the guards
keepers and investigators are who aided
the convicts in getting hold Of the drugs
Warden Clancy said last night he be-
Iieyed he knew who some Of these men
were. and If he could prove they were
implicated they would be dismissed imme'
diately.
