COVERS LARGE WOUNDS BY
SKIN GRATING.

volunteering to undergo whatever
of suffering might be caused by the
operation for the sake of their little
sister who was dangerously burned
at their home at Knob, Pike county,
month ago, Daniel, Jr., and Miss
Daisy, children of Daniel Hatton,
gave more than 800 square inches of
skin to be grated over the extensive
wounds of little Linda Hatton. The
operations, which were the first ex-
tended operations of skin grating
in this vicinity, were performed by
DR.. f. A. Lobb assisted by DR.. A. C.
Voigt, of Hawley.
Linda Hatton, 10 years old, was
burned when her clothes were ignit-
ed by fire of brush and dried leaves
when her brothers were cleaning
their yard month ago. For a week
her condition remained critical, and
then her physician, DR.. Lobb, an
nounced that she was on the road to
recovery. He said, however, skin
grating would be necessary before
the wounds could heal. The opera
uon was described and the brother
and sister at once volunteered.
The final operation was performed
last Sunday when more than 200
oqu~iC ihShtS VI SIKH were removed
from the thighs of Daniel, Jr., and
transferred to the abdomen and
thighs of his sister. This complet-
ed the covering of the burn wounds.
The first operation was performed
on Thursday, May 1. At that time
the little girl and her older sister,
Daisy, were placed side by side and
put under an anaesthetic. DR.. Lobb
and DR.. Voigt then removed nearly
one hundred square inches of skin
from the thighs of the older girl and
grated on the back of her sister
The skin was removed in strips
about an inch wide and three inches
long and was spread over about one
third of the burn wound after having
been treated with an antiseptic solu-
tion. The operation took about two
hours. Both doctors declare that the
skin transferred was clear and
healthy, which was proven by the
fact that in three days conditions
showed that the graft had taken and
the wound was healing nicely. Miss

The ARMY and NAVY ARE
CALLED OFF

Reason for the Move-Does Not
Want Any Misconstruction During
Negotiations with Japan.
Washington, May 17.-President
Wilson has determined that no war
ship or troops shall be moved or any
thing resembling a military or naval
demonstration carried on by the
United States while diplomatic ne
gotiations with Japan over the Cali
fornia alien land legislation are in
progress, so that no alarming inter-
probation can be placed on even the
ordinary maneuvers of the army
and navy.
This decision of the president was
announced at the White House last
week. 1t answered a report current
in official circles that precautionary
movements by the army and navy
were contemplated and had been dis
cussed at a conference between the
president, Secretary Daniels of the
navy department, Secretary Garrison
of the war department, and Acting
Secretary Moore of the state depart
ment. Mr.. Moore went to the White
House, it was explained, to discuss
the framing of a reply to the recent
Japanese protest against the Califor-
mia land legislation, while the war
and navy secretaries called to dis
cuss routine affairs of their depart
ments.
White House officials said there
had been no changes in the diplomat
ic phases of the Japanese question
and that the situation was promising
of an early settlement. 1t was en-
phatically denied that army or navy
maneuvers, or movements of any
kind not included in ordinary plans
arranged months in advance of ex-
ecution, had been contemplated at
any time.
The rumor which called forth the
White House statement probably be-
gan its rounds when the war depart
ment made public orders to three Of
ficers and two companies of coast ar
tillery to sail from San Francisco for
Honolulu about May "a. These or
ders, it was explained, were in con-
formity with the program for the Gre
alton of permanent and sufficient
garrison in Hawaii, outlined in the
last annual report of the secretary
of war, and merely carried out plans
of long standing.

PLAN AN EXTENSION.
Street Railway Line Go West on
Eighth to City Limits.

Twenty minutes to Cages park
that's the plan of Albert Patten,
superintendent of the Topeka street
railway The Eighth street line IS to
be extended within a mile of the park,
making it available to picnickers and
pedestrians. The plan has been under
discussion for several months, but will
not be confirmed until the arrival of
Albert Patten, who returns from Cali
fornia tonight. Howard Patten, as
sistant superintendent, declares in all
probability the road will be rushed to
completion, and be finished in May.
Three years ago the city council
granted leave of extension, the time to
expire next month. Under the COM
mission form of government the city
can assess a percentage of earnings
for granting of franchise. In con-
sideration of this fact, it is to the in
terest of the company to complete the
extension at once.
The line will extend to the city
limits, making the wide lawns. menag-
erie, and other attractions at the park
easily accessible to Topekans who
haven't machines or motorcycles.

At the Majestic

The Emma Bunting Stock company
is appearing in Pretty Miss Nobody
at the Majestic this week Miss Blunt
ing is clever in her selection of plays;
small, naive and ingenious, she chooses
roles she can easily portray. AS Gussie
Stokes, a youngster of the Golden
West, she is well placed. There's one
astonishing thing about the diminutive
leading lady; she is most courageous
in her choice of colors. Eschewing
blues and browns, she appears in vari-
Gus shades of pink, red and rose. Des-
pite her Titan locks they are quite
becoming.
Pretty Miss Nobody is the daugh-
ter of a California farmer, is wooed
and won by an English title. and
dropped into London social life The
elite are surprised when Lady Row
land, Junior, says "ain't got no." This
seems unreasonable to Miss Nobody,
but justifiable to her husband. , The
result is a separation Miss Nobody
leaves for Paris. becomes a famous art
ist. And-of course they're reunited in
the last act

PAPER TOWELS
Board Orders Their Use in

Supt. Starts Exhaustive Re-
port on City Schools.

The board of education has decid-
ed to do things the DIR. S. ]. Crum-
bine way There will be no more
lurking germs On ordinary towels at
the school buildings. The board has
authorized the purchase of paper
towels for the use of the pupils.
The feature of the regular April
meeting of the school board Mon
day night was an exhaustive report
on the condition of the schools by
the superintendent, c. c. Starr. Super
intendent Starr minated that the re-
cent ruling rela tive to the use of
supplemental readers is working a
hardship.
The report read in part:
1.-The Topeka school system has re-
Gently been undergoing certain modi-
fications tending to emphasize the
work that is more fundamental and
to make the school more efficient.
One-fourth of the time of the eight
years of the course has been given
to reading, ope-fourth to writing,
spelling, language and grammar, one
fourth to arithmetic, geography, his
tory and citizenship. 1t will be OBJ
served that the fundamental subjects
receive the chief emphasis and that
a relatively small amount of time is
given to other subjects that are valu-
able but of relatively less import
ance.
undertake to have the pupils design
dresses and hats that they make, and
the work in this line has attracted
wide attention in educational circles.
THE manual training work consists
more largely of ma king useful things
found on the market and more train
ing directly for productive industry is
undertaken.
Elementary science introduced in
the freshman year, proves to be one
of the most useful subjects in the
high school
"A course in normal training has
been provided for those who are pre-
pairing to teach in district schools.
The state pays the city $500 per year
for maintaining this course. All of
last years class in this course passed
the state examination (including the
common branches) and received two
year renewable certificates from the
state.
The work in spelling has been en-
1arged so as to include as many words
from the other subjects as from the
spelling book. The meaning of all
words spelled is made clear.
Greek has been dropped from the
course on account of lack of suffi-
Gent demand for it,
The shafting and open belts at the
manual training building will be en-
closed in order to guard against ac-
cident Wire netting will probably be
used for the purpose.
Mrs. c. J. Evans recommended that
a sewing machine be purchased for
the girls of every eighth grade school
room of the city. She said: THE boys
are getting all the manual training
equipment. 1t is about time the girls
got their share" No action was tax
en- by the board relative to the pur-
chase of the machines, but it is prob
able that they will be included in the
budget for the next school year.
The report of the treasurer showed
that there is a balance on hand in
the banks to the credit of the board
of $1S,S6O. S9-a small balance in each
of the funds.
