FLoTATIoN EXPERIMENT WORK

H. J. Stander, who is doing fiota- tion experimental work for the Col lege of Mines and for the Arizona State Bureau of Mines, has been call ed to Brunswick, Georgia, for consul tation work with the Yaryan Oil and Resin Co. of that city. MT. Stander has been making an especial study of oils, with a view to determining the relations of the oils and the oil mixture to the minerals contained in the ore.

BROTHER WORKERS . VOLUNTEER FOR
 SKIN CHATTING
Members of Electrical Union at Mi ami Punish CuticIe From Their
 Anatomy to Save Life of Gordon
 Hooker, -e

Claude Hooker, who was called to Globe three weeks ago, on account of a serious accident to his son, Gordon, who was burned in the shelter at Mi ami, returned to Clifton on Saturday afternoon last, and reports his son
 progressing nicely at the time he left. The attending physicians, who first pronounced his burns fatal, now have every nope of his recovery.
 Before skin grafting was attempted the burned boy was placed in a frame work, completely covered, and a strong electric light globe was placed within the compartment and the boy was kept under the glow of the electric light for several days and nights with remarkably benefi. | cial results.
 The first part of this week skin gepns Bacon and Eckels of the Mi
 H. Bell, secretary of the local union No. 467, I. B. E.. w of Miami that al most 50 per cent of the body of a brother would require strips of flesh. The response was immediate, the re- Iply being that a sufficient number of volunteers would be on hand to stand and deliver from one inch. to yard if necessary of the cuticle of their anatomy.
 Or yesterday. thirteen of the mem
 bers of the order was subjected to the ordeal and smilingly gave from their bodies portion of their GOV ering to replace the charred flesh of a brother member. A. L. Haskins
 was the last to step forward to supply
 the necessary amount for the single operation and he left minus three strips of life-giving, quivering flesh
 in the effort of restoration of a fel-
 low worker. Not to be out-done by
 the electricians, T. B. Roberts of the machinists' union begged to be ac- cepted as a volunteer and also suffer
 ed the loss of portion of his outer covering.
 Hooker was reported late last night
 as doing nicely but it may be neces- sary to supply additional cuticle some time next week but the volun- teers are ready and anxious to make l { -eir contributions.
 The members of the electricians union were enthusiastic over the splendid treatment accorded their brother by Dr. Bacon and the mem- bers of the staff of the Miami-Inspira- ton hospital who have been inde- fatigable in their efforts to alleviate the sufferings of Hooker and restore him to health and usefulness.

DISAGREES WITH M'LISS

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-The article by MLiss on the Ma
tional Woman's party In the EVENING
LEDGER of July 25 is somewhat misleading
as we'll as antagonistic to one branch of
the suffrage movement. The Executive
Board of the National American Woman
| Suffrage Association, under the leadership
of DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, some years
ago made radical change in the policy of
the national association. Susan B. An
thony believed implicitly In concentrating
on Washington-in fact. advocated holding
all conventions of the National Woman Suf-
frage Association in the national capital.
She recognized, as we do, that the various
States had all sorts Of enactments or con-
sttutional provisions on the subject of suf-
frage, and these embarrassed the franchise
reform to the point of paralyzing action.
Then, as now, they constituted a Gordian
knot. and this knot the clear-minded Susan
b. Anthony proposed to cut. The way to
cut II is for the people of the United States,
through their representatives in Congress,
TO demand the passage OF a Federal amend
ment enfranchising all the women of the
country. As showing the position OF the
nit me TO quote an utterance of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton as early as 1869:
THE fundamental principle OF our Gov
ernment-the equality OF all the citizens of
the Republic-should be Incorporated into
the Federal Constitution there to remain
forever. To leave this question TO the States
and u partial acts of Congress is 10 defer
indefiniteiy IT'S settlement for what is done
by this Congress may be repealed by the
next and politics in the several States diff
fers so widely that no harmonious action on
any question can ever be secured except as
a strict party measure. Hence we appeal
TO the party now in power 10 end this pro-
tracted debate on suffrage and to declare
it the inalienable right OF every citizen who
Is amenable 10 the laws of the land, who
pays taxes and the penalty of crime We

PRIVATE BURKE CLAIMS IT

To the Editor Of tho EUening Ledger:
Slr-Hnving noticed that your edition of
Tuesday, July 49, contains song, as fol-
lows:
There's lot of men in Company NJ
Who had 10 say "Goodby."
Some were rich and some were poor
But none too proud to die.
They went away from Philly gay
To help out with the war,
But when Company NJ got there
Carranza got the scare
And we didn't have to go to war.
I wish to say that Mr.. Hussey is not the
author of this song, l composed this song
on our way from Philly to lei Paso and in
the presence of Privates Cannon, Ryan and
Corporal Baird. all Of Company X.
If proof is needed to establish the same,
Company I of the First Pennsylvania In
fantry will substantiate the assertion and
Company X offers TO Private Hussey the
loan of a few good men who are willing
to do his share of fighting and give him
the credit II he so desires but would sug-
gest that he be true soldier and not crib
what he wants and claim to be the author
of the same. l do not care for publicity, but
my candid opinion of man who would do
a thing like this and claim authorship Is
that he would hide behind a tree and faint
away and upon recovery try to grab a
distinguished service medal
Another one OF Company KS songs, to
the tune of GLORY Glory, HalleluJah y Is;
We're from Pennsyl, Pennsylvania,
The Dandy First from Pennsylvania
X, OF the First, from Pennsylvania,
That grand old Keystone State.
Composed by myself.
