about three hours of the most valuable
time In Neuilly each day by taking her
to and from her home. After q while
she took practical charge Of the work
OF making splints and apparatus Of all
sorts. She ''reinvented" the Hodgden
sp1int, which was first devised during
our civil war. She "reinvented" many
other splints which had been in use
in other countries. The point 10 that
she made apparatus to At the case or
class Of cases. and as she had never
seen splint or a broken leg before.
On the other hand, she has made q
number Of entirely new things. In
each case she worked alone and un-
aided No one has ever given her q
suggestion. No surgeon has helped her
with q hint.
Part of her success Is due, no doubt,
to the fact that her Chicago grand
father insisted upon having her train
ed In the use OF tools whom she was
artistic training. but most Of 1t traces
right back to her inventive genius. Now
she has about twenty women at work
at tho American ambulance, together
with q small shop in which workmen
make the apparatus. Her facilities will
be enormously enlarged when she opens
her new workroom for the French gov
ernment. Her duty then will be to
visit the 5000 ward hospitals, when she
is called. and devise new forms Of
splints to fit the weird new fractures
the war IL producing constantly. Most
Of her apparatus is now being classi-
fed-from No. to No. 40, let us say
and 1t will be only the new needs she
will be called on to deal with.

Meanwhile she will continue her con-

The twenty women in her workshop are

to the shattered bones of the shattered
men. There isn't a bone break of any
sort for which she has not devised the
frame to hold the grinding ends to-
gether. About 150 American surgeons
have been trained by her-have watch
ed her deftly build cradles that had
never been dreamed of by the male in
tellect, and which save limbs and agony
but the $50 have gone back to Amer
lea. We have gained by it. but her new
work for the French government will
enable her to train French surgeons.
They will remain here and for years TO
come will be able to aid the mutiles of
the war.
The enormous extent Of this work
may be guessed at from one appalling
fact It is estimated that up to date,
in France alone, there are not less than
500, 600 men who have sustained an
injury to a bone OF such nature as to
suggest the need of some special ap-
paratus. Many of these men have lost
q limb-some more than one-and will
be equipped with an artificial appli-
ance. But others have been injured in
them a fairly reliable arm or leg with
which to work. Yet aid Of that sort
has been the most difficult to secure.

Amsterdam Diamond
Trade Resumes After
Slump Due to War

Amsterdam. Netherlands, April A.
While all Europe's spare cash is. be-
ing converted at a furious rate into
shells and bombs, the United States
still continues tc Mind money to be-
stow on the acquisition of the feshing
stones that are turned out by the fa-
NOUS diamond cutters of Amsterdam.
The position in the .sbril1iants'' branch
Of this industry has considerably i'm
proved in recent months owing to the
Increasing demand from America. al
though the rose cut diamond trade
is almost dead, owing to the cessation
Of orders from the Balkan states,
where, before the war, a regular de-
Iaand existed for stones cut. in what.
is called the old fashioned way.
The Amsterdam diamond trade has
always been closely connected with
the worlds wars. It owes it's origin
to a war, having been transferred
here after the capture Of Antwerp by
the Spaniards as far back as 1856. and
since then no big political crisis has
ever occ1rred but the diamond trade
has innEned iately felt the consequences.
When the present war broke out,
practically all of Amsterdam's seventy
sdia1ffand cutting establishments, with
their 5000 wheels, were closed down.

School Children Take
Part in German Loans.


Berlin, April with subscriptions
to the fourth German war loan scarce
1y under way, appeals to the school
children to repeat their efforts during
the earlier loans are already being
sent out This time especial empha-
sis is being laid on the possibility of
pupils in higher schools, who are now
or have been earning money of their
own, subscribing even more than they
did last time.
School children subscribed to the
third loan about forty million marks,
it is estimated. In twenty institutions
in Berlin alone the pupils put in 3d.
$50 marks in sums of from one mark
upward. To encourage repetition of
this willingness to subscribe, the mag
istrate of Berlin has arranged to sup
ply to the schools such clerical ne
cessities as appeals to parents, receipts
and subscription blanks, so that no
school will be under any expense and
may subscribe, clear, as much as pos
sible.l
Many boys in higher schools, it is
said, have of late been earning even
more money than many adults in nor
NAL times, and yet, of course, do not
have an adults s expenses. These high
er schools and continuation schools
must be modified" says the first aR-
peal. '"These sums must wherever
possible be made Hquidab1e for the
fourth war lOne.'

A POPULAR MODERN SPORT.

People with sporting tendencies
read with some attention the past
week of the doing of the American
Bowling Congress at Toledo. It is
surprising how interest in this form
of athletics has grown of late years.
It is a most healthy pursuit, giving
physical exercise to thousands of men
beyond the days of more activeI ife.
To people afflicted with nerves, a
bowling alley is a noisy sort of place
where an incessant fusilade of. falling
pins is kept up, to the disturbance of
the neighborhood. Persons Of too Sc
we're a mentality can't see much in it.
For subtantiaI and middIe-aged citi-
zens to resort there night after night,
knocking down little sticks with big
or little balls, seems the most pueri1e
kind Of occupation. ~
So all athletic games seem to those
who do not work on them from the
inside. The human mind was not
meant to spend itself wholly in con-
temptation of lofty themes. It tends
toward normal living to interest one
self in contests of manual skill and
dizziness. The sport of bowling offers
many problems of manipulation and
motion that are most diverting.
The game is Fascinating, since there
is such an element of luck in it. The
most accurately aimed ball, seemingly
destined to sweep the entire field by
hitting the head pin just to one side,
may by some queer trick of fortune
slip through, leaving the line nearly
untouched. And the ball that goes
much askew, by some unexpected
twist may send the pins flying for a
strike. For this reason the beginner
often makes scores that are the des-
pair of old stagers. But in the long
r1n skill counts, and the man who
keeps rolling the ball down the center
wins out.
Years ago bowling was in certain
disfavor with strict people. Alleys
were regarded as more or less Mounts
of sin, or, loafing places where wild
and sporty youths congregated. But
the fine type of bushes smen one now
sees there, place the sport on a wholly
different basis.

TURKS Are Fortifying Mount

Alexandria, Egypt, April 4.-Ac-
cording to reports received here, AGO.
o0e~persons in Jerusalem are now re-

lean Relief, Fund A woman engag-
ed in relief work there writes:
Everything costs four times as
much as before, so you can imagine
what a state the people are in. Our
poor children look like skeletons
Bread is very dear and the pieces are
small. All the fathers have been ia

here from Palestine by way of Cyprus
states that the Turks fully expect
that the Allies will invade the coun-
try and are devoting much energy to
Preparations to repel them They
have constructed numerous military
roads. They have fortified the Mount

Meanwhile, she says, the economic
situation is deplorable. AS it is inn

of a tourist agency and the KavaS

consulate, well known to all tourists
in Palestine, has been hanged on a
charge of espionage. Emil Knese-
agent at Jaffa, was saved from a sim
liar fate only by the intervention of

at Jerusalem. He was accused of
having received letters from his faith

Once Modest Cafe Has I'm
expected Greatness
Thrust Upon It.

SaIoniki, ApriI 4.-F1oca's has be-
come the social focus of the Entente
armies in the Balkans. Some such
rendezvous comes. to be associated
with almost every revolutionary war
The bar of Shepherds Hotel in Cairo
was the place through which every
one passed sooner or later in the
time of the Sudan campaigns, the
Rand Club at Johannesburg fulfilled
similar function In South Africa.
Here the same unexpected greatness
has been thrust upon F'loca's, SO that
its name will always remain in the
memory of those told off to spend this
tedious winter at SaIoniki.
F1oca's in peace times was just a
common place cafe, with no more than
the modest diStin of being the
best Of such establishments in Salon
Xxi. Here on an ordinary weekday
were to be found a sprinkIing of Lee
vantine gentlemen drinking Turkish
coffee while they discussed with fluent

so many others here is making a small
fortune, has to thank two of the most
cherished Allied-institutions- Eng

Frenchman's afternoon aperitif or

entrance is beset by an importunate
horde of ragged urchins- Its Greek
walters, of sinister aspect, only con-
descend to serve when their attention
is attracted by a series of sharp hand
c1aps. But in Sa1oniki men count

and for those who have lived for
months on barren mountain side it
is shadowy and distant reproduction
of the institutions of home.
