MAKvELS 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 COMPOUNDED the prophets.
News of the bravery OF our fighting
men Is not more inspiring thnn 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
cnce is keeping pace with destructive
enterprise. He had been In the thick
Of the fighting Mt Ypres in 1918. shrap-
mel Ind shattered the bones of both
ankles and both wrists. For long
time he lny In London hospital, be-
lieving that his case was hopeless and
that he would be 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
dIer was not wholly new thing;
bone surgery Ind made material adj
vances In the decade before the war
begun. An Interesting feature Of the
case, however. is that 1t wns pnrt OF
the routine of n military hospital, that
the surgeons who performed the high
ly intricate operation and made COM
plcte restoration of a man who 20
years ago would have been doomed
to life OF hopeless helplessness makes
no CHIN to especial merit, and TINT
the whole accomplishment wns treated
as a mntter OF course. The soldier
Is so fur 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.

Beneficial shoreblrds.

All the shorebirds are strikingfy

slaughter of these game birds dcprives
the farmer Of valuable allies against
some Of the worst crop pests. Such
game birds MS quail. grouse and pleas

birds Is a serious mistake.

Coffee Substitutes In Denmark.

For months coffee has been almost
understandable In Denmark. When any
is to be had 1t sells for as much as
IS a pound. This naturally has stimu-
lated the production OF coffee substi-
tutes. It Is now reported that about
$1,000 tons of various kinds OF raw
materials have lntely been used for
snys that 5000 tons Of ncorns, 1900
tons of dandelion. 600 tons of chicory
and 23OO tons of sugar beets have
been ronstcd. ground up, and sold for
coffee substitutes. Acorns sell for
about II cents a pound.

suits in our schools in the preparation OF
our pupils for the college work which is
to come after, and the college career is
shaped right here in the public schools OF
the city we must have more income.
We favor the keeping on our teaching
force of every teacher who does superior
work. We favor the elimination OF those
teachers whose work does not measure up
to the best that is to be had, and the fill
ing of their places by teachers OF known
experience and success in the work. We
can only do it by offering better compen-
sation than they are now receiving IN other
schools of like importance. We offer less
now.
Therefore, we are in favor Of giving the;
trustees of the city schools authority to
lew as much as twelve mills for the sup
port of the city schools. The property in
j the city will not be e-assessed for taxa
ton for the next two years and we may IN
crease our income only in this way. With
the additional sums of money to be real
lied from an additional two mills, about
the sum of three thousand dollars, we may
increase the salaries of thespresent teach
ing force and perhaps be enabled TO pro
cure the services Of an additional g man n IN u
the high school work; if not, we may sup.
plant one of the lady teachers by man OF
good teaching ability. And we need male
teachers in order to keep the boys in the
high school. Boys at the age when they are
doing high school work resent 57 being
taught by young women. They make J, and nd
! will make, greater progress under the tu-
telage of male teachers. And we are inter-
estedtin our boys. Too few Of them are in
the high school. They drop out too soon,
and we, believe largely for the reason sug-
gested They should be prepared at home
for the college classes, and they may pc II
!. the suggested changes are made. sttRs
I. q We do not favor, however, the discOn-
tinuance Of the two mill tax now being
levied for the payment of the school bonds:
IT is true that under the dire ection, frst, OF
. DR.. Harrison as Chairman, and later under
the management of the Farmers Bank as
fiscal agent of the school district, this fund
has rapidly increased, so that at. is now
sufficient to take care Of the bonds and the
interest aceumulating each six months
thereon. But the money which is now COM
ing in may be- profitably employed in max
ing constantly needed impro proyements in
the school buildings, in repairs and en-
largements; and it will not be two years
until we shall need considerable enlarge
ment of the high school building. The
delegation from the county should be ask

RED CROSS
Makes Request for Special
 Effort Until June l

While textiles worth million s have been sent to the devastated countries of Europe to be made into clothing for the needy, so many of the able bodied women over there will be busy helping the men to prepare the fields for this years crops and to rebuild their homes, that the help of the American women is needed in or der that the destitute may be clothed. The need cannot be overestimated. Thousands of chil- dren are orphans and many peo- pie have no facilities for serving.
 The more difficult garments are made in factories to save time but many factories are unable to take this kind of work. Therefore from Washington comes the re- quest that our women produce as many garments as possible be- tween now and the first of June.
 The call has come from the Northwestern Division to the To- cal chapter and a wide choice of garments was given. Having on hand about 300 yards of outing flannel which is required in the making of children's shirts and petticoats, patterns for these gar ments have been ordered. It is

FISHING CONCERNS LISTED
Alaska Bureau of Chamber of. Con-
 merce Publishes Guide

Leaflets giving a list of fishing industries in Alaska, together with the Alaska and local address of each company, have been com- piled by the Alaska bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. As in previous seasons, salmon heads the list with more than hundred canneries, nearly as many salter- ies and 50 mild-cure plants.
 Herring ranks next in impor- tance. With the market created by war conditions for Alaska her. ring last year, dozens of new plants were opened and the her. ring salteries at the close of 1918 numbered about 100. Canning of herring was carried on by only two canneries, one located at Port Walter, the other at Big Port Walter.
 Fifteen plants specialized in the salting and canning of codfsh, while the clam canning industry, which was scarcely started until last year, was represented by So plants by the end of 1918.
 Under the heading "miscellan- eous,' are included canneries which engaged in the preserva- tion of atkafsh, mackerel, sable fish, shrimp, whale, anchovies, crab or clam cocktails and trout. Several companies, specializing n fish byproducts and fertilizer, are also listed.
 Copies of the leaflet may be ob- tained upon request, from the Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
