VASE USED AS MISSILE
There was Something Doing in That
Neighborhood When Mrs. Mat
tie Davis Went Across
the Street.

The green-eyed monster created
conservation and Il riot at Eigh.
tenth and High streets yesterday
afternoon.
It started when Mrs. Matte Davis
went across the street.
It's real origin was some months
ago, when a neighbor told Mrs. Davis
that her husband was visiting Mrs.
Mote Smith, the evidence disclosed,
and that there was some booze in
yolved previously is suspected.
The same neighbor told Mrs. Davis
sundry things yesterday afternoon,
and accompanied the latter across to
see it to the end. The Smiths live
in a residence at the top Of a bank
a dozen feet high, the result of a
cut in the street. First, Mrs. Davis.
pretending any actions not exactly
polite, stood below and loudly called
out to Mrs. Smith:
Always q Perfect Lady.
"You all come down like a lady
and settle it,"
When this invitation was ignored
Mrs. Davis went up like a perfect
lady, and things really began to hap
pen. The evidence was pretty clear
in the superior court. only some mi
nor details, as to who hit Mrs. Davis
on the head with a big vase and the
like, being somewhat uncertain,
since 1t was impossible tt see all the
five participants at one time.
The center Of the scrap was the
combat between Mrs. Davis and Mrs.
Smith, who fought all over one room
and into another room, surrounded
by the others, getting in a lick as
they could on n another in their
frantic efforts to maintain peace. 1t
was the same kind Of peace the
kaiser vas so anxious to keep in
Europe.
just Like Some White Folks.
Mrs. Davis was hit with the vase
as the passed the stand on
the second room. Mr.. Smith called
Gonsalez had used the ornament as
q weapon, but this turned out to be
a mistake.
Davis broke up a nice, friendly game
OF tcooncan in which a party was
gagged. The party was composed of
MI. duu MIS-. oIlilu, JUG 1ouSdlOS,
Mr.. Davis and William Hawkins.
Mr.. Hawkins testified on the stand
his own regret at being there as fol
lows:
We was just having a little game
OF cooncan. l ought ter have been
at home with my own wife, out I
wasn't"
In Beginning and in End.
In the superior court, Judge Nc
Namara heard the story from the
beginning, including the testimony of
and about Leona Wright, the active
neighbor, and in the end had a pref
ty fair idea of what happened.
The defendants before him were
Mr.. n Mrs. Smith and Joe Con
salez, charged with disturbing the
peace, and Mr.. and Mrs. Davis,
charged with being drunk and dis
orderly.
Finally, the court found not guilty
and discharged all except Mrs. Mat
tie Davis, who, like a perfect lady,

MILITARY SURGEON HAS HARDEST JOB
 OF ALL IN THE WAR
He Has to Work Under Fire Without Romantic Stimulus of the
 Soldier

Somewhere in France. April 24. Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-One of the unsung heroes of the war is the military surgeon. No man has been harder worked in the tremendous fighting of the past few weeks and his work has been in most cases far from pleasant.
 There is not the same romantic stim- ulus for the medical man that there is is one thing to dash about under fire is another thing to dash about under fire and take the same risks while calmly attending to those with wounds from which all other men as they pass avert their heads. Thank God, I am not a doctor" said an officer who had been detailed to inspect a number of improvised casualty clearing stations along the front during a recent at tack
 The regimental surgeon in the Brit ish army has in his charge the we'll being of more than thousand men, When there is no fighting on, he has plenty to do. He had to strike a hap py medium in discoura ging the faint hearted who come to him as a means of obtaining a fortnight's rest, and in holding out a helping hand to those who are in real distress. If he is too lenient. the commanding officer be- gins to ask whether he intends to deplete the whole regiment; if he is too harsh the junior officers and men lose patience.

tunate possessor of car, but this leais to numerous complications. There are some 90-odd officers in the reSi- ment, and each one of them has some few trifles which must go in that car. if he is weak enough to take them the car is overloaded and before long breaks down and precious medical stores have to be abandoned. If he re- fuses to take them, his position in the officers mess becomes wellnigh unbeara ble.
 The doctor doesn't ride but foot slogs' it with his regiment through the same mud. the same wind and rain, and the same peri1s. His duties are not confined to caring for the i'll and injured He must supervise the sani- tation of camps and billets, ensure the purity of drinking water, keep look out for outbreaks and epidemics, main- tain a continuous campaign of inocu- lations and vaccinations, and fill out a long series of records and army forms. He has to do his utmost in the light of his special knowledge to maintain the health of his unit, and any remissness on his part may lead to a serious diminution in it's strength.
 In billets he has the added duty or playing the role of medical attendant to the villagers, as all the French doc tors in the country districts have gone.
