In this war there is plenty of need for
plastic surgery. but IL is perforce rough

orable and glorious the decoration" As
we have seen. most OF the wounding In
the present trench warfare Is In the up-
per part OF the body. There occurs the
side-swiping Of the face by which
whole cheek. a whole eye and part of
the forehead are ripped away by shrapnel
Then there has to be plastic operation
on the face. especially to provide a sup
port for an artificial eye. They have
special colored tags now for the soldier
thus injured. so that he can be rushed
as fast as possible to the surgeon for
quick work.
And as to heart surgery. We have READ
how In our own peaceful hospitals the
heart Is occasionally operated on. Well,
that Is now done by the military sur.
eeon. too. For instance: a soldier car
ried scrap Of shell In his heart for four
months and a half. during which time
there had been considerable shortness

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Financial Position of United States Steadily Gains Strength
but Mixed Conditions Still Prevail in Trade-Capital
Not Tied Up in Merchandise and Buying
Is Restricted

I New York. March 12.-Dun's Review to-
morrow will say:
The business situation presents the
same sharp contrasts which have char
acterized it since the European war be-
gan. The financial position of this coun-
try gains steadily in strength, and the
prompt absorption. on favorable terms Of
the large offering of New York State
bonds, and the sl5,0Oo.UO Swiss loan. are
fresh illustrations alike of the good de-
mand for investments and of the growth
of New York as an international none
tary center
"On the other hand, mixed conditions
still prevail in trades.
Exports both Of fOodstufs and war
supplies. continue in large volumes. while
domestic distribution is subnormal, al
though the recent improvement Is well
maintained and there are further gains
i'll some lines.
THE increasing intensity Of the Eu-
ropean war. the advance Of the allies in
tho Dardaneiles, the new turn of affairs
in Mexico with the ordering of warships
to Vera Cruz, the ultimatum of japan
toChina. are all world events so hewiI-
d"ring in their mumntOuS significance
as to acCentuate conservatism without
however. disturbing business confidence
The winter wheat outlook Is prOmis-
ing. but cotton acreage is expected to he
reduced in certain sections of the South.
owing to the depression in prices result
ing from the war.
yet cotton exports since the opening
Of this crop year have exceeded 500, 90
bales.
Collections in the Southwest as well as
in the West have improved. although
still retarded in the country at large.

At THE SESSION
SENATOR AKIN DOES NOT Elk
PECT ANY FREAK LEGlSLA-
TON THIS YEAR.

Senator l.. r. Akin, accompanied by
Representative j. e. Dart. left yester-
day afternoon in Mr.. Atkins automO-
bile for Mt. Pleasant, where they
spent the night, and this morning they
will start in the auto for Atlanta and
they expect to arrive there Sunday,
stopping at two or three cities en-
route
Senator Akin, before he left the city
coming session of the Legislature to be
one of strictly business.
81 do not believe the Georgia law
makers are going to waste any time
at all on freak legislation this year."
he said. at is time when the body
should get right down to work and dis
pose of those measures which are of
most Importance to the state. OF
course there will be the usual number
of local bills, which will take I'D con-
siderable time, and one or two import
ant state measures are to be intro
duced, but as for the freakish legisla-
ton, | believe it will be conspicuous
for its absence at this session."
Senator Akin will be no stranger in
the general assembly. He served last
year as Representatives from Glynn
county mad had previously served this
district as senator. He ranks among
the leaders in the house and senate
and no doubt will again be appointed
a member of some OF the most import
ant committees.
Colonel Dart has also had previous
service in the house, having represent
ed this county many years ago. At
that time Governorelect Harris was
representative in the house of Bibb
county and he and the local represent
ative are close friends.
