MARvELS OF SURGERY IN WAR
Surgeons With Allies Fighters Repair
Seemingly Hopeless Cases Of
Shattered Bone.

The marvels of surgery which have
resulted from the stimulus Of war
work have confounded the prophets.
News Of the bravery Of our fighting
men Is not more inspiring than the
accounts which come in constantly of
the achievements of the scientists Of
the entente in the field of surgery
and medicine, says Portland Oregonian.
There landed in an eastern port the
other day Canadian soldier who is
only one Of the thousands who can
thank their stars that constructive sci
ence is keeping pace with destructive
enterprise. He had been in the thick
Of the fighting at Ypres In 1915, shrap-
mel had shattered the bones Of both
ankles and both wrists. For a long
time he lay In London hospital, be-
lieving that his case was hopeless and
that he would be a cripple for life.
Then came surgeons who undertook
the delicate task of literally setting
him ON his feet" Eventually he
emerged two inches or so shorter
than when he enlisted, walking
straight, with agile step, and with full
command of his arms and hands.
In principle the repair Of this sol
der was not a wholly new thing;
bone surgery had made material ad-
vances in the decade before the war
began. An interesting feature Of the
case. however, Is that it was part of
the routine Of a military hospital, that
the surgeons who performed the high
~ intricate operation and made COM
plete restoration Of a man who 20
years ago would have been doomed
to q life of hopeless helplessness makes
no claim to especial merit, and that
the whole accomplishment was treated
az 4 matter Of course. The soldier
Is 70 far recovered that he expects
presently to return joyfully to the fir
ing line; the surgeons turn without
more ado to the next case, which may
be seemingly, quite as hopeless but
wholly different in matters Of technic
and detail.

clouds are from six to nine miles
above the ground, and the ice
which form them usually
arrange themselves so that the
corresponding planes are parallel
to each other. Faint halos of
white light are of frequent oc-
currence but are not often not
iced except by observers who
are looking for them. Occasion
ally, however, the high cloud
is just thin enough to give a
brilliant circle, such as you saw
the other day, with red on the
inside changing to blue on the
outside.
In this part of the country
they have no particular signifi-
canoe as to coming weather
conditions.
Very truly yours.

DATA ON AMERICAN DEATHS
Census Bureau Gathers Statistics In
Many States and Cities;
Also In Hawaii.

Recent inclusion Of Hawaii has ex-
tonded beyond the limits of continental
United States the area for which the
census bureau annually collects and
publishes death statistics. Within this
area now reside about 73 per cent Of
the total population Of continental
United States and Hawaii. 1t COM
prises in all a27 states, 4S cities in
other states, the District of Columbia
and the territory of Hawaii.
East Of the Mississippi the only
states not included are Alabama, Dela-
ware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missis-
sippi and West Virginia, while west Of
the Mississippi the only states includ-
ed are California, Colorado, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Utah
and Washington.
The annual collection Of death sta
tistics from states and cities maintain
ing adequate registration systems was
begun by the census bureau in 1902,
the first report covering the calendar
years 1900 to 1904. inclusive. and for
each succeeding year separate report
has been published.
The original registration area con-
tanned 10 per cent Of the total popu-
lation Of the country. 1t remained un-
changed until 1906, since which year
it has shown an almost uninterrupted
increase in geographical extent and in
proportion Of total population, until at
present 1t contains nearly three-fourths
Of the country's inhabitants.
In birth registration highly salts
factory progress has been made dur
Ing the past two years.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

Application will be made to the
town council at its next meeting
by Town Marshal Lowe for au-
thority to place a mounted police
man in commission, to cover the
residential districts of. the city.
Marshal Lowe, in is his ap-
plication, will call attention to
the fact that the city police force
is so small numerically that it is
a physical impossibility for it to
cover the territory and that there
is no auto, nor even a motorcycle
at the present time, by which
calls for police assistance or in
vestigation can be promptly res
ponded to.
Referring to recent article
in the Herald which asserted
that there were six ''burglaries
in one night" in which the
Herald spoke of AN orgy of
crime,'' y and intimated that Grim
inals were operating unchecked,
Marshal Lowe said:
I'm the first place, there were
only two actual burglaries on
the night in question. and three
attempts.
Sporadic outbreaks of crimi-
nality of his character are certain
to occur from time to time, be-
cause of the character of floating
population to be found in a bor-
der town, and because of the
ease with which offenders can
cross the international border
and thus defy pursuit.
with a force five or six times
the size of the present one, it
would be impossible to prevent
crimes of that character at times
although a stricter watch could
be kept. of course, with larger
force.
Tucson has twenty three men
on its police force, including a
number of mounted officers. AT
the same ratio, Nogales would
have a force at least three times
its present size. Besides. as
just previously mentioned, No
gales. as a border city. has pro-
blems to face that Tucson doesn't
have to contend with"
Chief Lowe himself, and seve
raj of his rrmen, are putting in
sixteen to eighteen hours a day,
and the work they are accom-
plishing is proof to any reaso-
nable person of their efficiency.

Press Comments

The Phoenix Messenger of
May 4th, 1918, says:
Judge Hawkins hardly needs
an introduction to the voters OF
this state, as his splendid talent
has been utilized in behalf OF
Liberty bonds and on other occas-
ions before audiences in nearly
every part of the state. He is an
able lawyer, man of clean hab-
its and faultless private life. He
came to Arizona about seven
years ago from the State of
Texas, where he was known as
one of the foremost lawyers Of
that state, having conducted
many notable cases. He served
in both branches of the Texas
Legislature and has always taken
an active part in politics. being
an uncompromising Democrat.
Should Judge Hawkins rec
eive the namination, he would
make good race, and, when
elected, the state would be safe
under his legal guidance.
''His lifetime has been spent
in the study and practice of law,
and he now has a good clientage
throughout the state. Judge
Hawkins is about SO years of age,
married, and makes his home in
Phoenix, Mhere he has conside-
rable property"
The Mohave County Miner
said;
Following came the speaking
at Elk's Hall. Judge Paul C.
Thorne presiding, who introduced
the speaker of the day, Judge A,
S. Hawkins, who made one of
the most stirring addresses that
we have heard in recent years,
and it is a noteworthy fact that
following his remarks at the close
of the meeting nearly all present
availed themselves Of an oppo-
tunity to subscribe for the a Lib
erty Bond. In support of the
ardent manner in which Judge
Hawkins appealed to the people.
we will quote one of the promir-
ent citizens of Oatman, at which
place he spoke Saturday evening.
He said: THAT if Judge Hwkins
would make one more speach at
Oatman. he believed that he
could double the amount of the
Liberty Loan subscription. Such
was this mans opinion of Judge
Hawkins, and we are certain that
it is the opinion of all of the
people of this section who were
fortunate enough to hear him.. -

Natural Phenomenon Explained

Some two or three weeks ago
there appeared around the sun at
midday large and beautiful
circle with all the tints of the
rainbow. 1t attracted great at
tention, and there are some
superstitious folk who thought
it presaeed something, whether
dire or otherwise they were not
sure.
Master Bonsail Noon, son of
Attorney S. F. Noon, who is U.
S. weather observer at Nogales,
wrote an account of the phenon-
enon to Mr.. R. @. Grant, the

Mr.. Grant an explanatory letter
which is given place as of much

Dear Bonsall:
We were glad to get your note
about the bright halo around the
sun on June 26th, and will make
q special note of it in the monthly
publication.
A simple explanation of the
phenomenon may interest you:
The circle of light around the
sun is usually of % degrees
radius. 1t is caused by the
refraction and diffraction of the
sunlight on minute ice crystals
which form the high wispy
(called cirrus) clouds that are
seen nearly every day. These
