'SINPL OPERATION
CHANGES METHOD OF
BLOOD TRANSMISSION
Is Taken From Subject With

Future Use
By W. s. Forest,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Feb. 14.-(By mail. "A new
surgical discovery which changes the
whole method of blood TRANSMISSION was
calmly announced today at a regular
session of the F1ench Academy OF
Medicine.
Under remarkably simple opera
tion, reported by DR.. Ameuille, quan.
titles of blood--from half pint to q
pint-may be drawn from a healthy
subject without pain. The liquid is
then chemically treated to prevent
coagulation, bottled under proper tenn
perature and saved until it is needed
for injection into the veins of sick OF
wounded patient
The new process is simplicity itself
A small hypOdermic needle is inserted
into a surface vein. The blood is slow
ly drawn into a solution of citrate OF
soda. When the surgeons are ready tc
inject it into the veins of another
patient, the operation is reversed

russian Transports Reported

of BOthnia

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With The American Army in France,
Mar. S.-The Germans are strafing Am
erican troops who have been switched
from the American front to a sector
near the Swiss border.
A heavy artillery demonstration by
the boches has been going on for three
days, reaching the crest of its violence
today and tonight. The American
troops morale is the best, despite the
bombardment
Upwards of thirty men this afternoon
were sheltered in a dugout upon which
q big shell made a square hit. They
hurried from this dugout to another but
the latter was also demolished.
The shelling of the Americans po-
sitions continued throughout the day.
Relief troops were unable to reach the
front line trenches.
Two men of tire signal corps distin-
guished themselves by maintaining COM
munication despite the heavy shell fire.
Telephone wires were repeatedly brok-
en- but they continued to work. Pieces
of a shell cut the wire from the hands
of one of the men. When the shelling
finally ceased they had their repairs
completed.
The artillerying ON this front was
three or four times as heavy as that
on the American sector during the hot
test periods there.
Troops training here, relieved crack
French corps. The boches began straf-
ing the Americans as soon as they were
certain the Sammies were in this sec
tor. The violence of tEeir artillery at
tack is increasing constantly.
The Americans in this sector are han
dicapped in the air, the same as on the
American sector. There are no Ameri-
can airplanes here. In some places the
American trenches have been levelled
by the boche fire.
The French report on activities in this
region includes the statement that, the
action of the Americans leave nothing to
doubt their yalor and steadfastness.
Announcement that American troops
are occupying trenches on the allied line
"near the Swiss border" very probab-
ly means that Americans-may be for
the first time-are fighting on German
soil. The front is inside the German
border for several miles north of the
Swiss frontier, at some points reaching
depth of more than ten miles.

Asks Why Nine Mattresses Out of Ten Are BrunetteS
Fire Chief Says This Is Good Time to Clean Up Trash

I'd QUESTION for psycholo-
"A gists or sociologists to an
Il = swer, is why nine Mattresses
out Of ten are brunettes',' said C. o.
Roberts. It's a fact that has never
been explained. Look over the
Mattresses in the next restaurant
you go TO. and see IL the girl who
waits on you is not dark haired with
brown eyes. It may be explained by
the elimination Of the unfit. as it is
really true that in most cases the
brunette makes a much better
waitress than the blonde. Blondes,
for some reason. don't get around as
lively as brunettes. and possibly this
influences restaurant keepers to hire

FACTS ABOUT OUR NAVY
The Woman, Too.
By LIEUTENANT FITz HUGH GREEN, Z. S. n.

when you consider the majority's pay
as well under $50 a month. But
there are more than you think. When
the right man meets the right woman,
particularly if they still be mostly
boy and girl a mere detail like money
doesn't count.
Money seems a little thing, very
little; and distant, too, when the day
is softly fun Of spring and the smell
OF blossoms. Summer drifts in; then
autumn; then winter, almost imper-
ceptibly. Winter costs money.
One day this winter it was raining.
Later il showed. A great battleship
lay heavily alongside her pier in the
navy yard. Near the gangway,
shrouded in dripping oilskins stood
the officer of the deck He watched
a muffled figure trudge Up the bow.
It was a woman Her cloth coat
was soaked She carried a bundle.
Once the bundle gave a little cry.
And she patted It while she asked
the officers permission to see her
husband, a coal-passer below.
Investigation showed that the man
was in the brig (ship's jaiD. He had
overstayed leave, in wartime a very
serious offense. II was irregular for
him TO see visitors, even his own
wife in trouble. And it is right that
there should be law that binds men
together in these perilous days.
But the woman couldn't under
stand. She had trouble, grievous per-
sonal trouble. So finally. though her
trouble was tiny beside the worlds
trouble. for pity she was let see the
father OF her child She had a few
minutes with him She was given a
mug Of coffee and a piece Of bread
Then she went over the side with an
officers umbrella Next day the ship
sailed
The man in the brig wore knitted
sweater. He had another in his bag,
also warm socks. But his wife was
shivering and wet. The man had
food and no need of money. His wife
and child were hungry, but penniless.
The man had a thousand shipmates
and music and movies. His wife had
the child.
Is it possible there are other
wives? They may not be hungry or
cold or penniless. But may they not
be something else2
