BRITISH SURGERY WONDERS.
OF 1850 Men MANNED London Hospital
Returned 1000 to Duty.


Major J.. p. Goldthwaite. an ortho-
pedic surgeon Of the United States
army, returned to an Atlantic port aft
er visiting the hospitals Of France and
England to study the new methods CT
treating the wounded.
Out of batch of 1850 wounded SOL
(liers who had been crushed and fear
fully MANNED by shells, he said, 1000
had been so skillfully patched up by
the surgeons at the London Orthopedic
hospital that they were able to return
to duty.
Major Goldthwaite was one oftwenty
American medical officers who were
sent abroad by the government. He
said he had returned to recruit sur
geons for study Of war hospital condi-
lions in order that American soldiers
might later have the benefit of mod
err treatment from their own surgeons.

d BOATS EQUIPPED WITH
DEVICES TO CUT NETS
Have Motor Driven Circular Saws
Which Protrude From Both
Sides of Craft.

From reports that reacn us from Eu-
rope we learn that Germany has equip.
ped some Of her U boats with ingen'
ious devices to enable them to cut Their
way through submarine nets. One boat
with double fange of thin sheet steel
protruding from both sides Of the bow
Is said to have been destroyed by shell
fire, and the device itself, practically
intact, is said to be In the hands OF
the British admiralty. A second boat,
equipped with heavy motor driven cir
cular. knives attached to steel hawsers.
torpedoed merchantman, and the cap
tain while In small boat made draw
ing of the device for the admiralty.
Illustrations in the September issue
Of the Popular Science Monthly give al
clear idea Of these net cutters. The
double flange of thin sheet steel which,
protrudes from both sides of the bow
of the submarine is operated by cleo
trically controlled gears. The fanges
spread on either side of the bow to q
distance of eighteen feet, or thirty-six
feet in all, whenever the nose OF the
vessel touches an obstruction. Their
action is said to be automatic, al
though an operator within the boat can
extend or withdraw the device at any
time by moving two heavy metal arms
The U boat equipped with the cir
cular knives is obviously far better
able to cut its way through net than
the boat just described. 1t does not
bother about a device at the bow, fig
uring,l no doubt, that the sharp nose
Of the vessel and IT'S rounded hull are
sufficient to. get through net or stop
the boat before it becomes entangled.
However, 1t does not permit its con-
ming tower to 60 unprotected. Several
strands of stout steel hawsers contain
ing motor driven knives foot In diam
eter and placed about foot apart are
stretched from the bow through the
coming tower to the stern. Striking
a net, the knives would revolve on
flexible shaft.

TO SHORTEN ARMY COAT.
Baker to Follow Psrshins's Advice Re.
aarding Uniforms.


While Secretary of War Baker de-
clined to approve suggested changes in
the regulation army coat. 1t is believed
he will approve several recommends
tons concerning notifications Of uni
form which have been received from
General Pershing.
These changes are all based upon
trench conditions as found by General
Pershing. 1t is suggested that the
overcoat and "slicker" be shortened to
knee length to remove the Interference
while walking in narrow trench. An
other suggestion Is that a knitted skull
cap he added to the equipment of every
soldier, to be worn under the trench
helmet.
General Pershing also recommended
the adoption of a jacket made of leath-
er and blanket lined. instead Of the
present fleece lined garment; changes
In the length Of gloves and in the type
Of puttees now issued were proposed.

Work, from which also the following
figures are taken:
More than 100000 employees o.
breweries, distilleries, saloons, etc.
would have to seek other Jobs, and the
wages on which 100000 American
lives depend would cease.
Besides the 1900 breweries and 65(
distilleries that would have to close
their doors, manufacturers Of and deal
ers in barrels, slaves, corks, bottles
beer pumps, boxes, kegs, cigars, ba,
fixtures, motor trucks and many other
businesses would suffer incalculable
losses.
The railroads would lose 100000
tons of freight annually.
The federal government would lose
$26o, 100000 annual revenue, the states
$21, 100000 a year, counties $4,000, 600
and municipalities So, 900 900.

bushels OF rice and 1OO,OOO,OOO gallons

The average flow of water over Nj
agara falls is $4,000 cubic feet, or
about 100000 gallons second. The
total quantity of alcoholic drinks made

ed into the falls 1t would take ten min
utes for it to flow over.
If all the barroomS in America were
placed side by side in two parallel
rows to make one street this would be
almost 37S miles long.
If all the liquor handled by the rail-
roads were loaded on one. train this

The money paid for the 1,330,O0O

Became a Bit Worried.

The conversation at recent social
affair turned to the beautiful indiffer-
ence Of some children when this story
was fittingly related by Representa-
tive Frank L. Greene of Vermont:
Recently a small party named Bes-
sic had q birthday, and a little girl
friend Of her own age was invited to
come around and help her celebrate
the glad occasion. Both were given
cake and things, and afterward they
happily pranced off to the upper part
of the house.
Two hours later the mother Of Bes-
sic went to look for the children and
found her sweet child sitting alone in
a great armchair nibbling on rem
nant Of the dainty repast.
"Why. Bessie" exclaimed the sur
prlsed mother, glancing around the
room, "where is your little friendT
1--WE were playing hide and seek in
the attic" calmly answered Bessie, as
she continued to nibble her cake, land

time ago."

We can achieve smartness in coats
that sell at a moderate price, II they
are made up in correct lines and in ac-
cordance with accepted styles. This
is consummation devoutly to be
wished for the mother of the young
girl. No one is more sure of what she
wants, or harder to change In her con-
yictions, than the miss in her teens,
but. thanks be, she is not exacting in
the matter of materials. She does not
vearn for ermine or sealskin and will
gladly wear rabbit fur disguised as
either, if only it is made up In the
right way.
For her the coat in the picture has
been designed. 1t possesses all the

are moderate iu price-as prices go
