HIRE WOMEN AS CONDUCTORS
Between $500 and 5000 Now En-
pIoyed on Trolley Cars of Berlin
Take Place of Soldiers.

The art of conducting" a street car
through the crowded thoroughfares Of
Berlin is being taught to women in five
schools for conductresses," which
graduate each week total of between
800 and 400 female conductors to take
the place of men gone to the war.
Not since the earliest days of the
electric car in Berlin have candidates
for the positions on the back platform
proved so apt as the women, who once
were considered unfit for such mascu-
line work. Between $500 and 5000
women are now employed as conduc-
tors, and Incidentally everyone who
has applied passed the preliminary ex-
animation. A large percentage, how
ever, have been unable to stand the
strain and have had to seek other
work.
The women are given theoretical
course of three days, eight hours a
day, in one of the five schools, and
then, for their practical training, are
accompanied on genuine trips by ex-
perienced conductors, learn the names
of streets and have chance to put
their theoretical training into use.

Movies in Spain,

A press dispatch announces the
first showing in Bilbao of moving pic
lures in their natural colors. 1t seems
pertinent to suggest to manufacturers
of projecting apparatus and films IN
the United States of the probable OPP
portunity to introduce these goods
here, especially now, at the beginning
of summer, when the motion-picture Is
about the only amusement of the peo-
pie. In all the principal plazas and
gardens of Seville, moving-picture
screens are erected and small tables
and chairs set out, the exhibitors
either making their profits from the
drinks sold or by rental of chairs at
two cents each. Thousands of people
go nightly to the different plazas and
gardens, and the entire life of the
city for about four months centers
around these moving-picture shows.
Anything in the nature of novelty IS
sought, and the exhibition of pictures
in their natural colors would undoubt'
eddy attract the crowd, and manufac-
turers should, therefore, find a ready
market. 1t is probable that credit ar
rangements would have to be made
with the purchasers, as it is unusual
to sell here for cash.

Wild Kurd Girl Russian Mascot.

Hadzhina, a wild little six-year-old
Kurdish girl, has become the mascot
of a Russian artillery regiment op
Grating on the Persian frontier. She
was left behind when the population
of the Armenian village Of Hazar fled
and Russian soldiers found her, clad
in a filthy shirt, hiding in the depths
Of a bake oven.
After she had recovered from fright
under the kind treatment Of her cap
tors, the little one told through an
interpreter how she had been left be-
hind by her mother, who escaped, tax
ing with her another child. Her father
she said, was a soldier and had been
taken prisoner by the Russian troops

FAMED AS REFORMER
WOMAN HAS DONE SPLENDID
WORK IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Twenty Years of Active Labor
Crowned With Magnificent Result
Systematic Efforts Have En-
abIed Her to Do Wonders.

In San Francisco's Chinatown Miss
Donaldina Cameron is honored with
two unusual names. Anon the Chi
nese highbinders she is known as the
"Female White Devil" among the
girls of her rescue mission she Is
called the Little Mother" Miss Cam
eron has been doing rescue work
among the Chinese of California for
nearly twenty years, and during that
time has rescued 1900 girls ranging
in age from little tots given away or
sold as slaves by their parents or
natural guardians to grown girls who
had fallen into the clutches Of high
binders.
She has gone at midnight into the
farthest corners of the rookeries that
were the Chinatown of old San Fran
crawled on her hands and knees along
secret passages, and in several III
stances rescued at the point Of the
pistol the miserable slave girl who
had appealed to her.
In her rescue work Miss Cameron
does not s. after the girls who are
content to live such lives. but to
those who appeal. to her or who she
learns wish to get away from it. She
has taken more than one girl as they
were passing along the streets and
forced the Chinese owner" to go to
court. On several occasions she has
been followed and threatened by mobs
Of Chinese and their friends.
O. Scotch parentage, Miss Cameron
was born in New Zealand. She came
to America as q young girl and for
twenty years has been employed by
the board of foreign missions of the
Presbyterian church for rescue work
among the Chinese Of San Francisco.
She is paid only $50 month. and in.
sists that she thinks it quite enough
Once she gets q girl she does not
try to Americanize her or keep her
away from reputable people Of her
own nationality. On the contrary, the
girls study Chinese books along with
English and are encouraged to hold
to their own religion.
Since Miss Cameron has learned
that all Chinese girls wish to be mar.
ried she does her best for them as a
matchmaker She sees that they meet
reputable men Tho are able and will
ing to give them good homes and
proper treatment Nor does her in
terest cease with their marriage. Her
short vacations are usually spent
visiting girls who have been under her
care and who have married. She is
entertained as an honored guest and
husbands are said to be careful to
put their best foot forward.

PRAYERS for Horses,

Marcus Horton, author of the re-
Gently published novel, Bred of the
Desert'-the story of horse and his
owner-has approached in fiction what
the Russians have done in fact. He
recognizes the great service of the
horse to man in peace and makes one
of his characters repeat an imaginary
prayer of the horse to his master. The
Russians have put into their war lit
urgy the following petition for horses:
And for those also, o Lord, the
humble beasts, who, with us, bear the
burden and heat CT the day, and offer
their guiltless lives for the well-being
of their countries, we supplicate thy
great tenderness of heart. For thou
hast promised to save both man and
beact, and great is thy loving kind
ness. Lord have mercy"

PULLED From LUNG
Surgeon Extracts Wire Staple
Via Windpipe Route.
Most Difficult Operation of Its Kind
Yet Performed on Living Sub
ject Without Shedding
Blood.

While at work on his farm a KAN
sas man carelessly put wire staple
into his mouth. Something occurred
TO make him start suddenly and the
staple was drawn down his wlndplpe,
points uppermost, finally lodging IN
the lower lobe of the right lung. To-
cal musicians were unable to remove
the intruder and so the farmer went
to Pittsburgh to consult DR.. CheVal-
Ter Jackson.
Doctor Jackson succeeded in re-
moving the staple not only without IN
Jury to the mans lung, but without
shedding a drop of blood. His account
of the achievement, as given in the
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation. is an excellent example of
the patience and ingenuity which spell
success for the modern surgeon.
The first step was the making Of a
series of X-ray photographs of the
lung. These showed that the staple
had worked down by a rachet-like
movement deep into the lung. Every
breath favored its going still deeper,
but was powerless to force the in
truder back because of the immediate
catching of one or both points.
An instrument called bronchoscope
was introduced down the patient 8
throat and into the lung. This re-
vealed the staple tightly wedSed in
the smallest lung passage it could en-
ter, and with both points concealed in
swollen mucous membrane. To pull
on such a body would mean the rip
ping of the bronchial wall and certal
death to the patient.
Working the body slightly down
ward with forked rod passed through
the bronchoscope, the points were lib
Grated. The staple was slightly TO-

MlkADo FOND OF QUAIL Eaas
Emperor Devours Two. Raw, Every
Day-kotaro oda Enjoys Monopoly
In Metropolis of Tokyo.

OF the many dainties-which daily ap.
pear on the imperial table the eggs OF
the quail, which are additionally
known in Japan as an elixir of life, are
perhaps the most expensive.
The emperor daily takes two of
these eggs raw, for which he is re.
ported to have a great fondness.
Very few people keep quail, and
even if they did 1t is very rarely that
the birds lay eggs. Perhaps Kotaro
Oda may be the only dealer in quail
in Tokyo who can successfully obtain
their eggs.
Last year Mr.. Oda presented some
of these eggs to the emperor, who &C.
eepted the rare gifts, which he highly
priced. Since then the quail eggs have
formed a favorite dish for the emperor
who now never fails to partake them
once every day.
A farmer of Echigo, Oda worked in
the fields when quite young and later
made a regular trade of hunting. He
started the rearing of quail, which has
now almost become his monopoly in
Tokyo and vicinity, some years after
coming to the capital.
He first procured a pair Of quail
from a bird fancier and tended them
carefully. In due course the pair
furnished him with number of eggs,
and thus he obtained some fine young
birds.
One day." narrated Mr.. Oda, "a GER
tain noble looking young young man
called on me and asked my views on
quail breeding. When he was leaving
/ presented him with 20 quail eggs
which he duly accepted.
The young man was later found to
be a son of Prince Takatsukasa, for
it was known that the prince offered
the eggs to the emperor several days
hence.
Some time afterwards received an
inquiry from Baron Kameda, chief
imperial veneur, if l had more quail
