Young Girl Wants to Give
One of Her Eyes to Soldier
Who Has Lost His Sight

Paris. Oct. 3. = A young English
girl has written to DR.. Rochon Duvig-
neud offering to give one of her eyes
to a. soldier who has lost his sight
serving France. The girl who lives in
North Shields, had read recent
statement by DR.. Duvigneud, one OF
the most famous occulists in France
that 1t was possible to save the sight
of man wounded in the eve by graft
ing a portion of the cornea of another
person. In her letter she said:
'If you believe that there Is one
chance of success In a million l will
give YOU one of my eyes for a SOL
dier who has lost his sight serving
France. I would prefer to give my
eye to one to whom it would be es.
pecially useful such as an inventor or
an officer of great value
'If my offer is accepted shall con-
slider myself under an obligation to
you for permitting me to be of use to
my country in the only way possible
to me-"

MACKEY URGES A
FEDERAL REPEAL
Says United States Liability Act
1nterferes With States
Compensation

Conflict. difficulties and inconsist-
eneies are now arising between the
Federal Employers Liability Act and
the State Workmen's Compensation
system, according to Harry A. Mackey,
chairman of the Pennsylvania Work
mems Compensation Board, who says
that the Act of Congress of 1908 ought
to be repealed.
Mr.. Mackey says: No injured rail-
road employe can recover under the
Federal Act of 1908 unless there is
evidence of negligence on the part of
the defendant, and only small per-
centage of such accidents present any
evidence of negligence at all. The g.
100000 railroad employees of the Unit
ed States are. in the main. deprived of
the benefits of workmen's compensa-
ton laws which are extending their
manifold mercies to the wage -earners
of SO many States.
There ought not to be in the same
territorial Jurisdiction two tribunals
addressing themselves to the solution
of the same problems. The railroad
employe would not be able to under
stand why his case should be tried
In different forum from that of his
injured neighbor who, happened to be
a carpenter or a bricklayer. Nor could
he understand nor appreciate why
there should be a different rule of
compensation between them
This act would provide very lit
tie relief to approximately two mill
lion men engaged in railroading and
its allied pursuits, who would be
deemed to be under interstate COM
merce.
'The happiness. contentment and
welfare of the vast army of railroad
workers of the United States will be
more promptly and thoroughly secur-
ed by allowing them to submit their
claims for compensation to State trib-
unals than by any scheme that can
be devised by Congress. In our State
the industrial workers throughly ap-
preciate the Pennsylvania Workmen's S
Compensation law of 1915.
ION the other hand the citizen who
Is engaged in rilroading goes to his
hazardous employment each day
knowing that If he should be killed
In his occupation, that he has left to
his wife and dependent children an
inheritance of litigation. They must
meet the railroad company in court
and establish its negligence before a
jury can consider the question of dam
ages.
"All the disadvantages are upon
those least able to meet this burden
of proof. They will also be subjected to
all the delays uncertainty and ex-
pense which compensation law
avoids. There can be little wonder
that discomfort pervades the army
OF railroad employees throughout the
United States. Congress cannot solve
this question because litigation over
1mmaterial matters and jury trials
cannot be eliminated by our national
law makers"

CHICAGO. Dec. 7.-Farmers of the great grain states of the middle west and north. believing that less than fair share Of the profits of their labor is returned to them. took the first steps here today io establish cost system for their industry. In connection with the National Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits. representative grain growers discussed various means of de- termining marketing costs from the field through the elevators. the mills and to the housewives oven. with the objects of lessening the cost to the con- t1mer and attracting a larger portion of what the consumer pays. direct to the producer
 Lynn J. Frazier. governor -elect of North Dakota, was the chief speaker. He told of the handicaps that have hin- dered the shippers of his slate.
 "Because of lack of storage facilities for potatoes this year" he said, grow CTS were forced to market their pota- toes at once and received an average of so cents a bushel for potatoes that sold on the market for S1.50 to sl.15 a bushel"
 Fred Stout of Ashkut. ILL. discussed the cost of handling grain at the coun- try elevators. and Q. D. Anderson. pres7 lutilN Ol tut ApORfldiiNt stNSo- citation Of South Dakota. spoke of the farmers views Of the terminal grain market.
 The cost finding program will be con- tinued tomorrow with the possibility of amalgamating present individual farm CTS organizations into one for the pur- pose of experimenting with scientific marketing systems

The Mexican bandits who robbed the bank at Buckeye and killed Charles Miner, have not yet been apprehended but one of the posses in pursuit fol- lowed so closely upon them that they abandoned their course north of the Arizona canal, northwest of the city
 Investigation of the report from Mesa that one of the robbers had been shot by an officer dislosed the fact that. a Florence man had followed a suspi- cious- looking Mexican south from Mesa. had got his auto stuck in the mud near the canal, and had to abandon the chase
 Sheriff Hall. of Pinal county stated that he would have men scour the Picacho country today in the hope of locating the Mexican.
 A good description of the man was secured. He rode d big black horse of considerable class. but rather Jagged He packed rifle. revolver and belt of cartridges. He would weigh about 1S0 pounds and was about feet s inches tall. He wore a big straw som brero. turned up on one side. carried Mexican hair rope, and rode half breed" saddle
