Especial to the Newark start

SUMMIT, Jan. SO.-A three-inch
piece of steel-part of a surgical In
strument-was recently taken from
the left side of Miss Laura Dram
after 1t had reposed there for ten
years. She said the sensation was as
though a needle were sticking in her
side.
A few days ago the sensation devel-
oped on her right side. She consulted
a physician to have removed what
she believed was another piece of
steel, but an examination developed
that it was her appendix and not part
of a surgical instrument that was
causing the trouble.

BODY AFTER IT LAY THERE TEN YEARS

domestic In the home of Rev. Conrad
Shotthoefer, rector of st. Teresa 5
Roman Catholic Church, is now in
Overlook Hospital, and it was said
today that she would recover.
Miss Orams parents died when she
was a child. She was placed in a
home. When about twelve years old
she underwent an operation in a New
Brunswick hospital. After the opera
ton she rallied quickly. She had no
idea that part of the instrument was
in her body. Five months ago, she
entered the home of Rev. Mr. Shott-
hoefer as a domestic.
Miss Dram will not disclose the
name of the surgeon who performed
the operation on her ten years ago,
nor would she give the name of the
hospital. The only hospital there,
however, is st. Peters.

The president of a large electrical

to piecework or premium systems, not
because Of any fear of labor troubles

the assumption that no shopman can
possibly be worth more than 81 to
$3.50 day. The shop superintendent
of this railway has been able to
strengthen his argument for a piece
work system by making a careful study
OF practices in other shops. and he
has determined that a large increase
in the production of some Jobs could
be brought about by some form of pre-

about twenty per cent. In labor cost
He is also convinced that the piece

world and its people, as she might
have done In another way by pursuing
the time-honored and rather cowardly
plan Of entering q convent, she was
soon to discover that success in the
undertaking brought deeper sense of
exile than she could have imagined
herself able to endure at the outset.
She found herself more utterly alone
and friendless than at any time In her
life. The chance companions she
formed at Interlaken-despite a we'll
meant reserve-served only to in
crease her feeling of loneliness and de-
spair. The very natural attentions Of
men. young and old. depressed her. in
stead Of encouraging that essentially
feminine thing called vanity. She
lived as one without an aim, without q
single purpose except to close one day
that she might begin the next.
After a time. she went ON to Lu-
cerne. Here the life on the surface
was gayer. and she was reused from
her state of lethargy in spite of her
self. Once. from her little balcony in
the National, she saw two of her old
acquaintances in the chorus at the
Gaiety. They were wearing many
pearls. Another time. she met them in
the street. She was rather quietly
dressed. They did not notice her. But
the prosperous Hebraic gentlemen who
attended them were not 80 careless.
