Raise for Two Years.

When the senate and house rail-
road committees concluded its execu-
tive session all the information they
gave out was that they would recon-
mend bill for an increase in passen.
ger rates for the railroads. They
would draft new rate-raising bill
and would reveal the details later.
The committees have received an
other proposition from the railroads
and will consider It before drawing
their new bill. The suggestion is to
grant an increase in passenger rates
for two years only. and at the same
time provide for the appointment Of
q commission to investigate the en-
tire railroad proposition and report
60 the 1917 legislature.
II this commission reports that the
railroads are entitled to more reve-
nues from their passenger service
than they receive under the two-cent
law then the raise would be perma-
nent. Otherwise the two-cent rate
would be automatically restored in
1s17.

Rules Against Wife.

Rules Against wife.
An abandoned wife whose husband
has no legal residence in Michigan
has no recourse to the laws of the
state, ruled the supreme court in an
opinion in the case of Clarence E..
Steere OF Chicago.
Steere was twice married. He
separated from his first wife in 1912,
and the court decreed that they could
not remarry except to one another.
One year later he married Miss Shir-
ley Ross OF Chicago at st. Joseph
Mich. She left him to return to her
Cass county home year later.
Then Mrs. Steere No. learned of
his second marriage and to avoid
trouble from that quarter he remar-
ried her. The second wife began suit
in Michigan, charging adultery and
abandonment.
Justice Ostrander. who wrote the
opinion, says that Steere never had
a home In Michigan. therefore he is
not answerable to the laws OF the
state.

SAYS GUARDS ARE
READY FOR CALL
DEFICIENCY IN NUMBERS ALL
THAT'S THE MATTER WITH
THE STATE MILITIA.
so SAYS ADJuTANT GENERAL
Greatest Need In Michigan 10 Moral
support Of the People Who Now
Are Only Indifferent, says
vandercook.

Lansing That the Michigan Ma
tlonal Guard would be an efiicient, ef.
jfective fighting force in time Of actual
war and that the only handicap would
be In lack OF numbers--a condition
which confronts the United States
regular army also--is the opinion OF
Adjt. Gen. Roy c. vandercook.
General vandercook says: THE
Michigan National Guard as at pres
ent constituted is actually ready to
take the field at the call Of the federal
government. except as to horses and
mules for transportation. The guard
can mobilize in "a hours ready for
service.
What Is true OF the National
Guard OF Michigan Is true OF the Ma
tional Guard Of most of the other
states. A few states. however. have
failed to give their citizen-soldiery
any particular support, and their
guard is suffering accordingly. The
only deficiency Of the Michigan Ma
tional Guard is in It's numbers. There
are only about fifty per cent of the
necessary number of men In the Ma
tional Guard to complete war strength
organizations, efficient and effective
for field service. The regular army
suffers from the same deficiency.
THE National Guard demonstrated
in the copper strike that 1t could
mobilize and move and take control Of
q situation as promptly as could be
asked.
Careful attention has been given
to rife practice; In all the camps
there has been thorough instruction
in sanitation, personal hygiene and
cooking.
'It is not stretching the truth to
say that the officers and men are
organized and prepared 80 far as
training is concerned to step forward
and furnish reasonable service to
their country. Every officer and man
makes some sacrifices to serve in the
guard, and each is imbued with the
idea OF giving the best service pos
sible. The great and only difficulty
with the National Guard today is the
lack of public sentiment in favor Of
fits maintenance There has been such
general Indifference to this matter
that the guard has gone as far as II
can go in efficiency until the people by
their moral support show an apprecia
ton OF the necessity Of preparedness

are about as good as before the war,
men who few weeks or months be-
fore were brought in in such shocking
condition that the layman, if he could
endure to gaze for long, would des-
pair of ever saving them.
The patients frequently are found
to have rifle bullets imbedded in the
bones of their jaws, bullets often that
have been flattened out or twisted by
the compact of lead against bone.
More serious are the shrapnel and
grenade wounds, which tear away
whole sections of the face and leave
a jaw fractured in a score of places.
Through use of the Roentgen ray,
or X-ray, the patients exact injury is
established on his admission. In a
majority of cases there is some por-
tion of bone missing-a portion that
must be replaced by bone from some
part of his body.
Each patient is his own bone sup
! ply, soto speak, and generally it is
the shin bone that serves. The ribs
also are a fertile field, and SO fact
| does nature work, the piece of bone
| taken out for use in the jaw is repidly
replaced by new growth.
One patient in the hospital late in
April, slowly recovering from a shock
ing wound that gouged out his whole
lower jaw, has a strip of shin bone
| l centimeters long in his mouth. Or
top of that is new set of service
able teeth. The man is healthy and
reasonably happy.
| In dozens of cases is it not only nee
essary to replace bone, but skin a:
well. Here again each man must sup
| ply his own. Great strips of skin are
taken from the patients arms ant
grated into cheeks or chins.. Aside
from the scar along the line of stitch
ing there is usually little indication
of the original injury.
Each man is photographed on thu
day of arrival, and then at interval
later, as his recovery progresses. T.
the layman the results accomplished
are little short of miraculous.
In a recent trip through the hOspit
al an Associated Press correspondent
had opportunity to compare many @
the original photographs with the pa
tients in their patched up state, an
it was all but incredible that so niue
had been accomplished.

Dusseldorf, June 2. "You don't
need to thank me for this. 1t long
ago lost it's significance
The this" was a woman's wedding
ring, worn and scratched. The mes
sage was blurred and poorly written.
Ring and message, indicating some
hidden tragedy that never will be re-
vealed, were sent to DR.. Christian
Bruhn, one of Germany's most dis
tinguished dental surgeons, for the
furtherance of his present life work
the patching up of soldiers whose
jaws and teeth have been shot away.
The patching up process required
much gold. DR.. Bruins clinic is free,
and, thus far at least, unsupported
from any official quarter. AS his fame
has gone, out over Germany, however,
his gold reserve has increased amaz-
ingly. A famous actress has given a
heavy medallion, the gift of the ruler
has donated a similar gift from the
King of Sweden Wedding rings, seal
rings, necklaces, gold coins, from
England and from Turkey, even old
gold teeth, have poured in on DR..
Bruhn, to be melted up and find their
way into the mouths of wounded sol
diers.
Men who have view war from all

quainted with its horrors have declar

| it is in the hospitals. The orthopediC

LOCAL CAPITALISTS
INTERESTED IN WELL
BACKING PROPOSITION TO BORE
FOR OIL AT BARNETT,
MISS.

Local capitalists are interested in
the company which is preparing to
bore for oil at Barnett, Miss, on the
New Orleans & Northeastern Rail-
road, five miles north of Vosburg,
where an undeveloped well recently
was purchased. Besides continuing
the work of sinking the shaft until the
oil stream is reached, the company
will develop the great fields of fuller's
earth which are thought to be on the
property purchased, or upon which
options have been obtained.
The history of the Barnett well is
an interesting one. Last summer, the
Seminary Oil and Gas Company was
organized, and a 300 foot well bored
at Seminary. Oil was not struck,
and so the project was temporarily
abandoned. Later, favorable reports
came from Barnett Mr.. Campion, an
expert driller, and Mr.. Conner, as
we'll as other directors, investigated
the property and found that seven
years before an artesian well was
started there, and after going 500
feet, oil was struck. The water we'll
was abandoned, and proposition to
bore for oil was started. A we'll was
put down, and after reaching a depth
of 1850 feet, a pocket Of gas was
struck, and the well was blown up
the explosion making further. opera
tons impracticable. This we'll was
abandoned and another sunk lot
yards. A strata of oil and gas was
struck after a 1,400 foot depth haC
been reached, and finally strata o
hard rock was encountered. The ma
chinery used for this operation was
Anticipated, and was not sufficient t.
go through this stone. Two OF thu
main financial hackers died, and thu
company ceased operations for wan
of sufficient capital.
The we'll has a six-inch casing al
the way down, resting ON this rock
On account of putting the well dow
to depth of $500 or 5000 feet, tn
driller said this would make it a
easy and comparatively inexpensiy
proposition.
