AMERICAN LIMBS RIVAL FAMED
MODELS OF ANCIENT GREECE

superiority of the American artificial
limb when one enters the big work
shop where twenty Greeks, some of
them wearing the products of their
own work, are busily engaged. An
ancient shrine of AeSculapiuS might
well have stood in a corner near the
superintendent office. for here is
a pile OF discarded artificial legs and
arms such as one sees at wonder
working shrines.
They are discarded artificial limbs
of European workmanship. Compar-
ed to the lightweight, finely articu-
lated American limb with it's fleXi-
bility, it's knee, ankle and toe move
mentS, the heavy, stiff leather limbs
cast aside have small value in the
eyes of the soldiers.

In three months 'seventy-two me-.
were set walking on American legs.
Among the boys there are some
who have been in America. Those do
not hesitate to give themselves airs

limbs come.
There is one young Greek VINO Tor

ATHENS.-Not so very far from
the Acropolis, where the spirit of
Phidias and his school breathe in
SEPARATION through the centuries there
is a modern institution for repro
ducing the human form which to the
Twentieth century Greek represents
the pinnacle of perfection.
When you enter this interesting
school for modelling the human ana
tony upon realistic lines, you pass
numbers of Greek soldiers walking
about. some a bit awkwardly, others
as blithely as youth itself. Each
one is proud to the point of vanity
and each one is saying something
about the superiority of American
legs!
If by chance your mind is wander
ing over the various differences be-
tween the sublinity and repose of
PhidiaS and the more SenSuouS PraX1-
tiles or the virile Lycippus, in rep
resenting the human form in those
past golden days of art, the remark
is startling.
But there is no mistake about the
comment. The Greek soldiers are
saying that the modelling of the hui
man arm and leg by the American
school, surpasses anything ancient
or modern Greece has ever produced.
Then you realize that you are fac
ing one of those interesting turns
in the worlds wheel. when young
America is bringing to ancient Greece
a part of her debt which all civiliza-
ton owes to the classic land of the
HelleneS.
The school" is the artificial limb
factory established by the American
Red Cross at Athens last December.
where mutilated Greek soldiers are
made to walk again. Indeed the
American Red Cross may be said,
with truth. to be putting wounded
Greek soldiers on their feet.

Famous London Society Beauty Found Dead;
Believed She Shot Herself; Motive Unknown

The amazing life Of famous Lon
Eliot, formerly Mrs. Mabel Louise
Atherton, has ended very sensation
ally. She was found dead last week
in her Mayfair residence, a bullet
having entered her head from a
sporting gun which was found
lying by her side. She was married
to Captain Arthur Eliot, a well
known dramatist, and grandson or
the late Earl st. German, last April.
Mrs. Eliot returned home from
dinner last on the ni"ht she was
baricading the door after her. The
report of a firearm in her room was
seard later. Her body was found
fully dressed in blue walking cos
tune and white shoes and stocrings.
By her side was a red sailor hat
trimmed with red cherries.
The motive for her action, which
has greatly shocked London society,
is up to the present time unknown,
but probably will be disclosed when
the coroner reads two letters which
she left, one to her husband and one
to a very dear friend.
Mrs. Eliot was divorced by her first
husband, Colonel Thomas Atherton,
in 1906, the evidence being brief and
conclusive. The case was followed

her against the correspondent named
in Colonel Atherton's plea, Captain

Buffalo Will Not

Our old friend the buffalo is COM

again will they roam the plains as

for them. their pastures being oc-
cupied by another and domesticated
species of the genus Bos-but it is
likely that there will be plenty OF
them, suitably protected.

of that of an ordinary man."

this remarkable man. 1t is probable

X OVERNOR SPROUL has ap-
IT proved several appropriations
made by the Legislature for
the erection of statues and me-
MORALS to several of the public men
of Pennsylvania, including the war
governor, Andrew G. Curtin, the late
United States Senator George T.
Oliver, General David Mem. Gregg,
the intrepid cavalry leader, and Cen
eral Galusha Pennypacker.
Pennsylvania has too long de-
ferred this visible honoring through
memorials OF her distinguished sons.
We have failed to magnify the SER
vice of scores of devoted military
and civic leaders and the present
Governor is to be commended for
giving his approval to these grants
of the Legislature.
Too often the envious criticism
of those outside Pennsylvania and
inexcusable harpooning of public
men by citizens OF our own State
have deferred the Legislature from
paying proper tribute to those who
have contributed to the upbuilding
of an imperial Commonwealth.
Who would withhold from Cover
nor Curtin and General Gregg, for
instance, such memorials as have
been suggested in these appropria-
ton measures? Nor would it be
gainsaid for a moment that the late
Senator oliver was a fine type of
the patriotic business man in pub
lie station. His loyalty and devotion
to the interests of Pennsylvania
were never questioned and his sup
! port of the protection principle in
! the development of our industrial life
would justify, without any other fea'
/ ture of his service, proper recogni.
tion in some enduring form. And sc
with scores of other Pennsylvanians
who have had a large part in the
life and substantial achievements Of
the State.
Let us set up for the benefit OIL

propriate memorials as will remind

ter and public service of their fore,
