Arm Grated on Girl.

Omitted Press Day Service)
Berlin, Jan. 16.-Surgeons through
out Germany today are watching with
intense interest the case OF Marie
Kubacek, who recently underwent
remarkable operation in hospital at
Prague. The patient, dressmaker,
was suffering from a disease Of the
upper arm which necessitated ampu-
tation. Just before the operation an
other girl, who had attempted sui
eide, died in the hospital, and the doc
tors decided to try grating expert
ment. Removing the bone from the
upper arm Of Miss Kubacek, they in
serted in its place a section from the
arm of the dead girl. The operation
was successful beyond the doctors
most sanguine hopes, and latest re-
ports from the hospital say the pa
tient is steadily improving.

If you want to be d vision of love-
liness when your own particular tired
business man comes home for late
dinner, slip into one of the so ador-
able pink or blue crepe de chine neg
ligees outlined in swansdown with the
cap and ribbon slippers edged in the
same snowy fluff. Don't forget a
fleeting glimpse of lace-edged crepe
de chine petticoat, also swansdown-
banded, and he will sure be sure to
forgive you for not dressing to dine.
Nothing more temptingly fascinating
than these swansdown-trim sets
have been seen in the white enameled
cases of the shops where the negli-
gees grew for long time.
The robes themselves are cut all
in loose sack effect, each side cross
ing in front and fastening on the op-
posite side in characteristic Paul
Poiret manner.
To match up the stunning new silk
knitted sweaters Oriental turbans are
being shown formed from a fringed
knitted scarf of silk in bright hue
to match the sweater and twisted
around the head. They fasten on one
side with hook and eye and the
fringe is allowed to fail coquettishly
over one ear as a finish. When you
see one you are sure to be all wrapped
up in it very soon.

Doctors Lose by Telephone.

do you know" said the doctor
alphabetically to the patient waiting
in his Office" that this prescribing by
phone is becoming serious business
for us doctors. Now, If had no phone
would be called to the house and I
would charge my regular fee for
visit. But If attempted to charge for
prescribing over the telephone would
be thought an extortionist. Yet there
is no reason why should not be paid
for my advice over the telephone just
as much as IL / sat at the patients
bedside and prescribed. Take, for in
stance, case which should be watch
ed for three or four days. Instead I'm
told, well call you, doctor, if there is
any change. And then proceed to
call me over the telephone, give me
the symptoms and ask what is to be
done. OF course, there is no excuse
for going to the patients side after
the telephone bulletin, unless there Is
a turn for the worse. So I'm cut right
out of a fee for visit. believe that
we physicians should get together and
agree to charge certain sum for pre-
scribing over the telephone"

SHRINE TO BRING BUFFALO
Ancient Indian Ceremonial In Times
Of Drought and Famine Now In
Philadelphia.

No longer fulfilling its ancient pur-
pose of charm to provide large buff
falo herds for the Indian of the plains,
there is on exhibition at the Universi-
ty Of Pennsylvania museum a sacred
shrine of the Hidatsa Indians, which
has been added to the Heye collection
of American chronological objects. 1t
is believed to be the only shrine of Its
nature ever erected by the Indians.
The shrine was set up in a large
earthen-covered hut near the line be-
tween Montana and the Dakotas. 1t
consists of four posts stuck into the
ground, on which rest two shelves On
the lower shelf is very ancient buff
falo skull resting in a bed of leaves
from the pennyroyal plant. On the
uppershelf are two human skulls paint
ed red.
1t was the custom of the natives to
make gifts to the shrine whenever
they wanted the gods to answer a
prayer.-Philadelphia Dispatch to the

Artist and Parvenu.

Phil Morris, the eminent portrait
painter, who died when his fame was

merchant who had commissioned him
to paint his wife and baby for the

Morris and his employer" were dis

suggestion, said it would be effective

Method Of spearino Fish,

In spite of the march of civilization,
there remains much that is still prim.
tive in Sicily, and curious sight at
Palermo Is to see the fishermen
spearing fish in the harbor by the aid
Of glass-bottomed buckets (says the
Wide World Magazine). There are
many corners of the world where fish
are speared, but perhaps the use Of the
glass-bottomed bucket in this connec-
ton Is to be seen only at Palermo. The
fishermen lean far over the side Of
their boats, and hold the bucket on the
water with one hand, poking their
heads into 1t as IL engaged In the Hal.

They hold spear poised in the free

MADE THE WORLD BRIGHTER
Music Lovers Everywhere Acknowi-
edge the Debt They Owe Felix
MendelssoFn.

What musician does not love the
name of Felix Mendelssohn? Those
fortunate enough to hear symphonies
and oratorios have revelled in the
beauties of his greater works such as
The Scotch Symphony, "a Calm Sea
and Prosperous Voyage the Fingars
Cave, and other overtures, st. Paul and
the Elijah, which is SO dramatic, it
has lately been given with stage set
tings. The music to Midsummer
Nights Dream makes Shakespeare's
fairy comedy even more enjoyable
than before. We realize more fully
the lightsome grace of tiny elves, the
merry jests of Puck, and above all,
the happy union Of Oberon and Titan
la. Their Wedding March voices the
note Of joy at how many nuptial
gathering, from those held in stately
cathedrals with crowned heads attend
ing, to those taking place in some
remote village chapel where simple
villagers form the bridal procession.
Many womans chafed spirit finds
relief in playing those gems for the
piano called Songs Without Words.
Mendelssohn's father, having en-
braced Christianity, desired Felix to
add his mothers name Bartholdy to
his own decidedly Jewish appellation.
The full signature, Felix Mendelssohn
Bartholdy appears after some compost
tons, but Mendelssohn, the Musician,
belongs neither to Judaism nor to
Christianity, but to the whole happy
world of music lovers.

The day book., 1914-07-21

When in pain or sorrow we. know
that the sun will shine again. We
give our love to few, our greatest
love to one. We never avoid people,
knowing that what we meet today we
will not have to meet tomorrow. We
pay slight attention to anyone that is
mean and ugly because they simply
cough out their own dirt, and it's
their privilege. We have given freely,
but seldom get any thanks. Still we,
get our blessing through being able
to give. We respect everybody, for
it's our nature, but we do not ex-
pect the same of everybody. We cul-
tivate the mind, develop the physical,
keep our eyes and ears open, walk
alone, mind our own business and
give God the glory, and endeavor to
live up to our name which is-John.

HERE'S A RECORD BREAKER
BY Gibson Gardner.

Washington, July 21.-The most
astonishing and sensational happen
ing in Washington during the last
twenty years has just come to light
in the fact that Mr.. Samuel Andrew
Witherspoon of Meridian, Miss,
member of the house of representa-
tives, has turned back into the federal
treasury the sum of $S2.20, the same
being his salary for four days which
he spent away from Washington on
private business. This is the first
happening of this sort so far as
known in the history of congress.
Members go home to mend their po-
itical fences; they go to Europe to
mend their physical condition; they
go anywhere or everywhere for
recreation and pleasure; and they go
on drawing their pay.
There is law, to be sure, which
says that members may not draw
their salary for time when they are
absent from their duties in Washing
ton, but this law never has been OBJ
served and members were quite as
tonished recently when Minority
Leader Mann informed the house that
such a law exists. Mr.. Witherspoon
tried to keep the incident secret re-
garding it as a matter between his,

LETTER, TO EDITOR
HOW WE LIVE

Editor Day Book:-In the midst of
turmoil and strife on the one hand,
and the abOunding love of our few
male and female friends on the other,
it might help some to know how we
live. Especially does this come to me
at this time after reading an article
by one of your lady writers. In part
she says love one another" but how
many Of us do this? Well, for my
part, l can say that love everybody
more or less. We are all brothers and
sisters. That is very well and quite
true, but the farther some of our
brothers and sisters are from us the
better, the better for them and far
better for us. By the way, isn't there
great sisterly love in the vicinity of
Knab's restaurant?
We live as thought we we're to be
called off into the Great Beyond daily.
We owe no man anything. We ask no
faVors, but expect fair treatment. We
give the glad hand to everybody, the
hand of true friendship to our friends
only. We let everybody think, speak
and do as they see fit as we each have
our peculiarities which makes each
one distinctly individual We listen
to anyone who has anything worth
while to give in advice that is good.
We do not spend our time idly, for
when we have nothing to do we put
this wonderful and beautiful body of
ours to bed and cover it up with sweet
sleep. Then where our spirit goes at
such times is our private business.
We work at different labor, and
neither day or night stops US, and
king, queen, president or pauper look
alike to us. If anyone wishes to see
us they must come to see us where
we see them without ceremony,
"come veal or woe, either ways we
take them" We love to work and
hope to God to live as long as we are
able to perform our daily work to

American nation guards j~eslOusly

good faith. Rather than seem Ia

bubble or wriggle Or seek defense
in legal technicality, il has brushed
aside doubts and taken the straight
course. This action, involving n

ART OF MAKING GLASS

The glass manufacturing industry
in North America had its beginning
l60 Yeas ago to-day June 80, 1874.
in Brooklyn, when a Dutchman
named Bamber opened a small
factory. The first bottle blown by
Bamber, bearing name and date is
still in existence.
The manufacture of glass in 4
small way had heen attemptej by
the Spauiards in South America
many years before. The art Of
making glass was taught 10 the
ancient Egyptians by Hermes, but
1t is thought that glass vas first
made in Syria. 1t was in use
among the Romans at the time of
ribcrius. 1t was MT until 1857.
h%owevcr, that glass making was
commenced in England.
Several glassmakcrs were among
the settlers at jamestown, Va but
they did not ply their trade. The
Brooklyn factory was not very sue
cessful, but in I775 a number of
German glass makers came over
and founded G~lassboro, n. j. A
little later a successful factory was
established in Boston ard before
the close of The century the indus
try had been Iaunchfd in Pitts
burgh.
Plate glass was first made in
Pittsburgh in 1853. Pressed glass
is an American invention.
