BONE-GRAFTING
(world Outlook for December)


 One intensely interesting develop ment of war surgery is bone-grafting Surgery used always to be destructive. At the beginning of the war there were so many amputations performed that the cities werefilled with crip- ples. But now a constructive surgery has developed consisting of putting new bones into old bodies with so per- feet a graft that the body does not know the difference. For instance, a shin bone has been placed in a cheek to take the place of a fractured ia" bone and soon became a perfect fit
 By the use of electrically driven tools a graft may be secured from a tibia in from ten to fifteen minutes, cut any size and fitted in a few min utes for any part of the body that needs 1t.

HINTS ID MOTORISTS
 BY BATTERY EXPERT

The car owner who reads the cur rent storage battery advertising can learn as much about the care of stor- age batteries for all practical purposes as the man who sits down and reads book on them. according to MT. Rog- CTS. the local Willard expert.
 Such advertising as the Willard company is doing" says Mir. Rogers, ''is of immense value to all car own CTS. It sets forth in language that any one can understand the broad, general principles that underlie all battery care. And the man who reads it regularly and takes advantage of the advice given there is in a fair way to getting the most efficient use out of his battery.
 'We men in the battery service sta ticns are very quick to notice any change in the public sentiment to- ward our product and the public atti- tude toward the battery has changed a great deal during the last two years.
 'It was only short time ago, com paratively speaking, that not one no torist in a thousand knew that dis titled water had to be added to his battery regularly The average car owner would literally run his battery to death and then blame the battery.
 "very few motorists indeed even knew what hydrometer syringe was, let alone know how to use it. All this has changed to a great degree un- til today the average ear owner eith- CT owns a hydrometer syringe him self, or, if he does not. goes to the service station and has the battery ex- pert use a hydrometer syringe on his battery.
 Starving and over-heating the bat tery. short-circuiting and broken down installations were things of which the average motorist knew nothing lit tie while ago. Today he is at least familiar with these terms.
 And the motorist of yesterday re- garded his battery as a practically non-wearable part of his car, some thing to be classed with the bearings or engine or chassis. Now he is gradually coming to recognize that it is an accessory of limited life, some thing which must be renewed like the tires although not so frequently or at so great a cost.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The shares of the companies having large inter ests in Mexico were the strong fea- lures today, buying being influenced by the more tranquil state of affairs in that country and the strength in this quarter of the list imparted an aspect of firmness to the general market in the first hour. The failure of the broader outside buying power to develop accelerated belief that the demand of this character for the time being seems to have pretty we'll spent itself, and that unless more conserva- tive factors than those recently di- lated upon assert themselves buying is likely to be further contracted and the weight of holdings thrown on the market in the past week become more burdensome.
 The action of the market in the past few days is reflective of an undercur- rent of apprehension over information al doings, consequently we think it the part of conservatism to tread jur diciously on the long side at least temporarily.

CHICAGO GRAINS.

CHICAGO. June 2-Extraordinary advances in prices of futures deliver ies of wheat resulted today from at tempts to purchase small amounts on a market bare of offerings. The ex- treme rise was 22 cents a bushel, but quotations underwent a subsequent decline and closed unsettled with net gains of 8 to cents, at 2.06 for July and 1.91 for September. Cash wheat did not follow the advance in futures Corn finished 1 to 34 cents up, oats unchanged to 5-S higher and provis- ions varying from cents decline to a rise of 20 cents.
 It required actual buying of only 40. 900 bushels to cause the jump in the price of September wheat. Even small trading forced the rise in the July option.
 One reason which made sellers wary of wheat was the strength of corn. Continued unfavorable weather form ed the, chief stimulus to buyers in the corn markt. Oats sympathized with the ascent of corn and wheat. Be- side, export business of late had tenn perd bearish enthusiasm.
 Pork ribs were bullishly influenced by the action of hogs and grain. Lard was depressed.

PUBLISHERS EXPLAIN
 WHY RAISE IN MAIL
 RATES IS PROTESTED
Direct Tax On Advertising Receipts Is Urged Instead By Newspaper And Maga- zine Representatives.
(By Review Leased wire.) )

WASHINGTON, June 2.-War taxa tion of publishers advertising rates rather than increase of their postage rates, was vigorously urged today by representatives of national publishing interests at an informal conference with senators who are re-drafting the war tax bill.
 Newspaper, magazine. trade, relig- ious, farm and many other publishing interests, joined in the plea. Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee; Senator Penrose, senior Republican member, and Senator Shoot received the publishers repre- sentatievs. The increased postage rate would put many publishers out of business and could not be passed along, they said, while tax on adver- Using receipts could be met Hby in creased advertising rates.
 Hardwick Plan Opposed.
 The plan proposed by Senator Hard wick and indorsed by the postoffice department, to leave present rates on news portions of publications and heavily increase that used for adver- Using, was condemned by the publish CTS as more detrimental to their inter- ests than the house zone system, all ready rejected by the committee.
 In asking the publishers views, Sen ator Simmons made it clear the con- mittee was determined to levy war taxes of some sort upon publishers. He suggested a combination postage and advertising tax, but the publishers pro- tested against any change in mail rates. Senator Simmons pointed out that letter rates are to be increased one-half. postcard rates doubled, and parcel post shipments taxed, adding that there was a strong sentiment in congress against excepting second class mail entirely from the increase.
 Newspapers are not desiorus of es- caping task" the committee was told by Ebert H. Baker. of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. chairman of the execu- tive committee of the American News paper Publishers Association.
 Simmons Determined.
 But we would rather have a direct tax on advertising receipts at fair rate than any change in the postage rates. Such change might become permanent. All of us prefer to have the postage question handled separate ly from war tax legislation"
 To a statement by Senator Penrose that thousands of letters are being re- ceived by members of congress pro- testing against increased letter rates if second class rates are allowed to stand. MT. Baker replied that the One cent Letter Postage League. contrib uted to by manufacturers. was behind a propaganda of that kind.

GERMAN AfRPLANES

Three Britis hsoldiers who had been given up as lost returned to their lines yesterday after three days be- hind the German outposts without food. The trio became lost on pa trol duty and discovered they were inside the German lines. They hid in shell hole during the day time and tried for three successive nights to return to the British lines before they finally succeeded.
 Such experience sare possible now adays with . ragged and irregular front line for outpost positions as they exist in the battle area east of Arras. The fighting there is more difficult in some ways than when the armies were in fixed trench positions Then each side became accustomed to the others trench habits and the slightest unfamiliar move by day or night had an easily defined signifi- canoe. East of Arras there are only short stretches of trenches with posts between them but each shell hole is a potential strong point and may hold a nest of machine guns. A chain of connected shell craters makes a first class trench. position under the new order of things.

ARKANSAS BACHELORS GET WIVES THROUGH

Article Published In Paper Is Widely Copied, With Result That Lonesome Men Are Flooded With Letters.

THREE BROTHERS. Ark. June 2. A year ago twenty-three bachelors lived in single solitude on homesteads around this place. They came from all parts Of the country. most of them from the cities. where they had been mechanics. There are only fifteen bachelors now, and like the ten little Indians from the present outlook there will soon be none.
 A little publicity did the trick. An Article in local paper published year ago to the effect that the twen- ty-three were longing for mates. was copied broadcast and still is travelling. Letters arrive every day from some spinster addressed to Abner Death craze. the postmaster. who hands them out to the eligibles.
 Eight have secured their brides through the power of the press. The remaining fifteen are JoTinny on the Spot every time the mail comes in. It is a kind of matrimonial lottery for them, they take turns at the letters. The postmaster, plays no favorites- If several letters come, those who turn it is draw straws or flip a dime for first choice. It is a game that breaks the monotony of grubbing stumps or making rails in the clear ing. The fifteen left are no pikers. They are playing the game like fif- teen Beau Brummels. and each one expects to land by fall.
