val OF the French Reserve Medical Corps,
according to the January Popular Me.
chanics magazine. In describing some OF
his work to American army medical off
Gers at one of the southern camps a short
time ago, he explained that he enters tho
chest cavity by making a six-inch opening
through the ribs. With the aid of forceps
he then lifts the lung through the aper-
tire and lays it on the chest wall The
bleeding blood vessels are tied. the outer
surface of the organ cleaned, and the
tracts swabbed out with gauze. Torn
pieces of the organ have been excised
and the wound sntured After this the
lung has been replaced in its normal po
sition and the aperture closed Two
thirds of the patients who have been sub
iected to operations of this kind hay,
fully recovered.

POINTERS ON SELECTING
VALUABLE OIL STOCKS
FOR ADVERTISEMENTS

BY employing the faculty of obser-
walton one can with very little practice
pick winners" with remarkable ae-
cltracy from among the many COM
panies advertised in the daily papers.
There are certain features OF all adj
vertisements offering oil stock to the
public which are significant
Some companies offer their stock
through underwriting agencies 9th
ers sell direct from their own office.
The latter plan brings the purchaser
directly in contact with the corpora
ton in which he invests and renders
it directly responsible to him for its
public promises and Representations.
Where the company is one deserving
confidence, the names of the officers
appear regularly in the advertisement
An unwarranted volume of display
is cause for close scrutiny. Lots of
space does not mean in every case a
big investment,
Subject matter emphasizing great
profits realized by lucky plungers, to
the exclusion of the proper setting out
of the values to be realized upon by
the company advertising, is not a good
sign.
Claims or promises which might be
temporarily realized by some arbi-
trary act of the company which may
have no valid basis are at all times Of
doubtful value to the investor.
These four suggestions will offer a
| start, which may be of value to some
one. The lack of attention to these
and similar studies is responsible for
| nearly all of the losses taken" BY
the public; while little study along
the above lines and resultant thought
will result in reasonably safe and very
profitabl Investments.

YOUTH YEARNS TO
FIGHT AND GIVES
LIFE To COUNTRY
Arizona Boy SpurnS Bomb
proof Assignment and In
siStS on Getting Into Fight
in France Is Killed in Battle,

Albert Pitts was an Arizona boy, a
son of James A. Pitts, who has for
many years conducted store at Sc
ligman. Young Pitts was also a neph-
ew of Senator Henry F. Ashurst of
Arizona and a personal friend of w. S.
Patterson of this city
At the time the war broke out
young Pitts was a student in the law
department of the Chicago university
at Ann Arbor. He enlisted and be-
cause of his education and experience
as clerk was assigned to clerical
work. He could have remained in
that capacity, miles back of the lines
and comparatively free from danger.
But,like all true Americans he longed
to get to the front In letter written
70 his father on April g. 1918, from
France, he said
For the past month I have been
battalion clerk, which is much to my
dislike, for, being in the army, would
rather be delivered from the narrow
routine and burden of petty duties,
ny doing the common work and drill
ing of a soldier When our organiza-
tion moves up to the front I'm going
to raise such potent objection to office
work, and execute so poorly the man
ual of the pen and keyboard. that /
will probably get what l earnestly long
for. ! made a great simpleton of my
self the day / let out the evil word
about my office experience.
Since the day ! left Waco, except
when we enjoyed practice warfare in
the Texas trenches, and further except
for four or five days after an upper
mitted trip to New York City (when
] was for a short time thrown out of
the company office bag and baggage)
] have been dabbling and fumbling at
idiots work. There IS some enervat-
ing. noxious, death-dealing influence
attached to office work that brushes
my soul, paralyzes my mind bears me
down, makes me imbecile, robs me of
purpose Of life, makes sweet tasteless
and bitter without assertion. Once l
get out of the mess, when am at last
able to bestir myself to activity, shall
so out and sing a great epic of free
dom, running thus:
Goodbye. dear old office,
! bid you a fond adieu.
! may emigrate to hell some day,
But I'll never come back to you"
Young Pitts must have succeeded In
getting away from the clerical duties
which were so onerous and distastc-
ful to him. as, ia a battle on August
%, 1918, rs he was in the thickest of
the fighting and was shot through the
hand Notwithstanding the wound, he
declined to go to the rear and q short
time afterward was killed when Hun
shell exploded near him.

.|TALY'S OMISSION
FROM ALLIANCE IS
BELIEVED SERIOUS

tnf hoak'k5 JOURNAL SPECIAL IEhsko Wiasi
Paris, May IL SUNDAY thy the AS
sociated Press. Much comment has
arisen over the fact that Italy is not
included in the proposed engagement
between the United States, Great Bri-
tain and France for mutual action
against Germany should Germany
again become aggressive toward
France 1t is said that Premier Or
lando was ready to bring Italy into the
agreement and that he took part in
some of the early discussions, al
though the plans were consummated
about the time OF the high tension
which removed Premier Orlando from
active participation in the council of
four.
Because Italy's membership in the
former triple alliance, it is held in
some French quarters, it was serious
omission not to include Italy in the
new Franco American British agree
ment.

Mrs. Martin Johnson says she just
can't be civilized all the time so she
has started off on another exploring
expedition with her husband. She eX-
plains that when he married her he
thought he had had enough of wan
dering in strange and dangerous
places, but the only fever came back.
Against his protests she accompanied
him on a trip to islands in the South
Seas inhabited by cannibals, where no
white person had ever been before.
Although she is a dainty little woman,
she looks as though she were in her
teens but insists she is twenty five,
she survived the hardships as well as

Notwithstanding the fact that the
local Y. NJ. c, A. was closed for a
period of seven weeks on account of
the influenza epidemic, the association
made a very creditable showing last
year. Secretary Lynn II. Fox has just
compiled a statement of some of the
associations activities for the. period
from April 80, 1918, to May l, 1913,
as compared with the previous twelve
month period, which shows the fol-

The activities of the boys depart
ment have been greatly increased by
the formation of a club of high school
boys and the organization of baseball
and basketball leagues
The associations work among the
adults has also been extended, parti-
cularly among the railroad men. More
railroad men took out memberships
last month than in any similar period
since the building was opened
