AND CHUM ARE
FLAYED TO SAVE YOUTH
Burns from Electric Wire
Failed TO HeaI-Nature Un-
equal to Task.
INJURED ON TRAIN TOP
Epidermis Transferred in Small
Sections by Surgeons in
Lebanon Hospital-Victim
of Accident Will Recover.

For nearly two hours and a half
yesterday afternoon three young men
lay on operating tables in Lebanon
Hospital while surgeons under the di-
rection OF DR.. William +. Gottheil.
professor of dcrmatology at Fordham
University, stripped square inches Of
skin from the back and leg Of two or
them and grated it to the injured leg
of the third.
The young man to save whose life
his companions submitted to the opera
/ ton was James Burns. II years old,
OF No. 4j6 East 146th street on the
afternoon of Jan. II. Burns was steal
! ing a ride on the top of a New York
Central freight car which carried him
| through the rock cut in Park avenue.
Near the corner of 10th street Burns
| failed TO dodge an electric feed wire
which struck his head and scared his
whole right side, burning the clothes
from his body. Unconscious from the
/ pain and shock he toppled off the top
of the car, the wheels caught and
mangled his left leg.
Burns was taken to Lebanon Hos
pital. and the surgeons made a vain
effort To save his left leg. The young
man survived its amputation. but his
recovery was impedcd by the fearful
burns inflicted by the electric wire.
After weeks of work the surgeons man
aged 10 heal all the wounds on the
right side Of the body. with the eXcep-
tion Of those on the LEG. which resisted
every form Of treatment.
At the close OF consultation a few
days ago Burns's parents were told
that unless some one could be found
who would submit TO a skin grating
operation there was no hope for their
sons recovery
James Burns. an elder brother Of the
patient. and Harry Williams chum,
Who lives AT No. I.0 West 6lst street,
won't TO the hospital yesterday and told
Dr. Gottheil that they wanted 10 vol
unteor for the operation. \ brief phys
ical examination indicated that they
were acceptable candidates. and they
were taken To the operating room and
made rcady FOR the ordeal. Youns
Burns was brought in, all three were
put under the influence of annstEetics
ana the skin transfcrence began.
Williams and the older Burns youth
each gave approximately twelve square
riches of skin. Burns's was stripped
from his back. and Williams lost n
| corresponding amount from his legs.
The skin was taken IN strips and dove
tailed together on the patients leg from
his knee to his hip. Dressings were
then applied to the wounds Of the three
youths and they were removed 10 the
hospital wards for the night.
The surgeons said that young Burns
went through the operation without
any apparent loss OF vitality and that
they look for rapid recovery. James
Burns and Williams will remain at the
hospital FOR few days

DAVE MARION AT COLUMBIA

There was a lot OF noise and little sing
ing for the first quarter OF an hour at
the Columbia last evening. when his
Dreamland Company was filling in be
fore the appearance of Dave Marion. the
chief funmaker Of the show. His familiar
character of Snuffy was up to it's usual
high mark of travesty. and after his APP
pearance the performance settled into
shape and went with a rush.
The chorus was well costumed and well
drilled and sang with vgor to put It
mildly. Mr. Marion has added two or
three clever bits to earlier presentations
OF "Pousse Cafe" as the piece is called,
and they were well received. Agnes Ben
Ter and little Louie Rice were the prin-
cipals Of the girl contingent and made
the most of their parts.

BE CUT CROssWIsE
before planting. If cut and piled up
for several days they heat and spoil.
If cut for any length of time before
planting put in sacks or ST.. piles
and sprinkle dust or Stacked lin over
them to prevent rapid evaporation of
the moisture. When 60 plants i'm
mediately this is also advisable be-
cause it prevents the moist pieces
sticking together when being planted.
Treat with formalin for scab before
cutting.
Few machines for cutting potatoes
are satisfactory. They cut too fine
and do not distribute the eyes proper
ly. For a 40-acre field it would pay
to hire reliable men or boys to cut
properly by hand rather than use the
average potato cutter. The only cut
ter which can be used to advantage
is one which quarters. Even then the
tubers used should be carefully selec-
ted and of uniform size and shape.
For roundish smooth potatoes aver
aging one-half pound each such a
machine can be used to advantage.
