WOMAN'S LEG BONE
GRAF TED ON SPINE;
IS MUCH IMPROVED

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 17.-Miss
Elizabeth Allen is at he Columbia Hos
pital recovering from complicated
operation, in which bone taken from
her leg was grated onto her spine.
The operation was performed about
ten weeks ago, and although she must
remain in the hospital for some weeks
yet, her condition has improved mar
velously, according to nurses and
physicians.
Miss Allen had been suffering from
tuberculosis of the spine so seriously
that she already had undergone q
similar operation several years ago
and since has had to have her back
supported with steel brace. Her con
dition became so bad recently that
she decided to undergo the second
operation. Doctors F. J. Gaenslen and
W. L. lie Cron, assisted by five other
physicians and surgeons, performed
the operation. The bone was SO
spliced that it gives solid support to
the back. being grated across the
diseased vertebrae, though it will
leave the back permanently stiff in
that section.
Last summer Miss Allen attended
the National Whist Congress in Chi
cago, though sheh ad to be carried on
and off the train and wheeled to the
Congress Hotel She had attained
national fame as an expert, has writ
ten much upon the game and for
time conducted a school of whist in
Milwaukee.

COLUMBUS, Ga, June 16.-The In.

FOLLOWING sums: 100000, $3.50 900,
$11O,4OO and 100000. A district of a
Mississippi county has voted $4,000
of road construction bonds.
These items are from the construc-
ton news of the week. In some in
stances the figures involved are some
what larger than usual, but as a whole
these items reflect very accurately the
road building activity in the southeast.
There cannot be a full degree of
progress without the providing of
first class highways and there cannot
be construction of first class highways
without progress; so that the road
building in the South demonstrates in
unmistakable manner the general
development of this section.
Eastern owners of an $4,000 acre
