federal labor conciliator, has OBJ
tanned contract from President
Obregon, Of Mexico, to photograph

The contract will include the pho

London, Aug. Instantaneous
with the announcement that drunken
ness is again on the increase in Eng
land comes the news that the Wes-
Iva churches are about to launch a
five years crusade to make the coun-
try dry"
Official figures show that there
were 95,763 convictions for drunken
ness in England and Wales last year,
an increase of G5 per cent over the
preceding year. If this rate of in
crease continues the number of con-
victions will soon be back at the high
mark registered in 1913-1SS,S77.
There was a great falling off during
the war, due to restrictions on the
sale of liquor and to the fact that
large part of the male population was
fighting in foreign countries or in
training camps.

that their drive is to be purely edu-
cational and without any sensational
features.

PLUMBER ACTS AS SURGEON

A London engineer was taken to a
hospital, his body pierced by an iron
rod half an inch thick which extend
ed from HIS left shoulder to his right
knee. Fortunately though the bar
passed across the mans body under
the skin, none of the vital organs
was injured. The surgeons realized
that they had no instruments strong
enough to be used in such an unusual
operation as removing the iron so
they called the house plumber to their
assistance. They put the patient un-
der an anesthetic, sterilized the plum
ber's hands and tolls, rugged him out
in the white garb of a surgeon and
told him to go to work. While sur
geons. nurses and students looked on
he screwed a thread cutting die, held
in stock, onto the bar and then
pulled the latter from the patients
body The whole operation required
only five minutes, not counting the
time spent by the plumber in going
back for his tools. The patient is
reported as doing fine.

LINCOLN'S PEN STOLEN

Chicago, Aug. 13.-The quill pen
used by President Lincoln in signing
his first inaugural address has been
stolen from the exhibit of the Chica-
go Historical Society at the Pageant
of Progress, it was announced today.
The pen was made from the feather
of an American eagle which was
killed by an admirer of Lincoln just
before the latter's election. The here
tofore unpublished letter which ac-
companid the gift said that the quill
was from an eagle which had died
rather than sacrifice its liberty.
And am sure that you would die
rather than sacrifice the liberties of
the nation which have been entrusted
to your care" the letter added.

WOMAN SWALLOWED
SEVEN-INCH HAT PIN

Chicago, Aug .13-The medical
world is watching with interest and
amazement the case of Mrs. Morris
Levy, 4S35 Calumet Avenue, who is
on the road to recovery after three
punctures had been made in her sto-
mach by a seven-inch hat pin which
she swallowed last May. In continu-
ing to function three months after the
swallowing of the pin, which subse-
qucntly made the three punctures,
physicians say all the rules of medical
science have been ccntradicted. Ordi-
narily death would have resulted
within "a hours.
Mrs. Levy swallowed the pin in
May when she was dressing to go
shopping. Her son, Morris. Jr., 7
years old. playing in the room,
slipped and fell. The mother gasped
and swallowed the pin. For three
months her husband couldn't believe
that she had swallowed the pin. She

however, that he took her to a hos
pital. An X-ray photograph revealed
the pin. An incision was made and
the pin removed with a pair of tweez-
ers.

FARM NOISES FOR
SHELL SHOCK CURE

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 1.-THE
sympathy of droning mowers cultiva-
tors and threshers is a specific cure
for shell-shock. OF the thousands Of
war veterans who turned to agticil-
ture at the conclusion 0. hcstil!ties
virtually all have recovered from the
effects of shell-shock. A recent survey
on the other hand, does not indicate
that this is true of the returned SOL
diers who settled in the cities.
Besides regaining health at a far
more rapid pace than their city broth
ers, the farmer soldiers generally
have experienced more pronounced
prosperity. For their crops last year
they received approximately $4,000
600. The return this year, on the
fact of preliminary estimates, should
be twenty-five per cent greater.
Many of the $4,000 soldiers who
have taken farms under the Soldiers
establishment act were not in
good health when they turned farm
ers. Today the average soldier
farmer is in ruddy health and sound
finances.
In aiding the men the government
has made loans aggregating more
100000. The soldier settle
ment board, under direction of Ma
jor John Barnett, purchased over
10000 horses, mules, cows, oxen,
sheep and swine; 100000 chickens
and thousands of dollars worth of
farm machinery.
Nearly 100000 acres of and
have been cultivated, and last year
100000 acres OF virgin soil were
broken. The men produced 10000
900 bushels of grain, besides great
quantities of hay, green feed, butter,
milk, eggs. fruit and vegetables.
Signal success attained by the for
mer soldiers has resulted in a flood
of applications from other war vete-
rams who now recognize the opportu-
mites of Western Canada.

NEW ULE MADE ON LAW
FOR BOOTLEGGER OF SEA

New York, Aug. 13.-Seafaring
bootleggers soon will have to take a
course in admiralty law if they are to
leep up with the latest contention of
revenue officers-that the three
mile limit does not hold where liquir-
smugglers are involved.
This was the stand taken by Unit
ed States Attorney Hayward today

bells against the schooner Henry L.

whisky after she had been sized out
side the three-mile limit off Atlantic

deadly tetanus, or lockjaw. Nina
Helen, 5-year-Old daughter of Mr.,
and Mrs. Henry j. Arnold, of this
city, has completely recovered, and
her recovery is exciting comment in
medical and faith healing circles
Friends of Dr. G. R. Robbins, pastor
ri Memorial baptist Church. who
claims to have many remarkable
cures by faith TO his credit, assert
the child recovered thru his prayers
at her bedside.
Her physician, while not willing
to indorse the broad claims, admits
he is surprised at her recovery He
had once given up her case as hope
less, but continued in attendance, and
his prescribed treatment was care
fully followed.
For several days the child suffered
convulsions at intervals of about fiji
teen minutes She could not lie down,
but had to sit propped up in chair
to avoid stiffening out of her body.
After twelve days of paroxysms the
child relaxed and her jaws unlocked.
Boils, due to the infection of her
blood, followed, but she has now
completely recovered.
The physicians frankly says that
he is unable to explain her recovery
whether it was the treatment of
prayer, am unable to say" he de-
clared. IL am greatly astonished."
