for Seven Years.

RICHMOND. Va. May 21.-Re-
moval of = steel slug from his
cheek. where IL had rested with
out hts knowledge for seven years
is the remarkable experience of
Joseph Addison Marable, OF South
Boston. world war veteran, who WAS
operated on by DR.. II. S. Belt
The piece of steel which was bu-
ried under the skin of his face was
one and three-quarters OF an inch
long and from a quarter to half an
inch in width. Mr.. Marable re
ceived this wound in 1914 on the
rife range at Texas City, Tex. when
a gun he was firing exploded. The
fragment which penetrated his flesh
was not discovered and the wound
eventually healed.

the United States forces in Siberia,
received another face wound. this
one slightly below the first injury.
Recently the second wound began
giving the veteran trouble and he
went to DR.. Belt for treatment. The
doctor discovered the presence of

ated. The piece of steel. with the
letters "Rock Isla," part of the

patients face for seven years with

ULSTER HOME RULE
FACING OBSTACLES
Belfast Business Men Doubt Il
Unionists Can Set Up Prac-
ticaI Parliament.

BELFAST. May 2l.--Ulster Union

chinery of the Orange Lodgers to
Insure the success of the Northern
Parliament Sim Fein will counter
with naming candidates in the six
counties pledged to a policy of
abstention similar to that existing
toward the British Imperial Par
Lament" These two facts are ac-
cepted here, but opinions vary as to
their respective chances OF success.
Belfast business men are divided
as 10 whether the Unionists under
the leadership of Sir James Craig
can elect enough members to set up
a smoothly running Legislature. The
partition bill is becoming less pop
ular every day in the north. as tho
southern boycott Is being increas-
ingly felt.
Secret emissaries OF the govern
ment have lately made several ef-
forts to secure the support Of the
leaders OF the old Nationalists party
in an endeavor to have them put
forward candidates to form a more
tractable opposition to tho Car
sonites. IL is reported that a coali-
tion Unionists-NationaIists cabinet
was the bait used. These efforts
seemed to have failed
The actual position of the rem
nants of the Old Irish Parliamentary
Party Is matter OF uncertainty,
tut II Is believed that they will
throw in their lot with Slim Fein.
Prospects for Ulster working the
home rule bill are not as bright now
as they were three months ago, but
II Is evident that the Unionists
leaders think that only by so doing
can they avert central Dublin
parliament, which they are de-
termined to do at all cost.

The circus came to town this week
and at the wrong end of long line
before a downtown ticket window
stood Representative James r. Byrnes,
OF South Carolina. Mr.. Byrnes was
representing himself and Represents

Byrnes and vinson families inhsted
on seeing the circus.
1t looked like the House might
meet, transact it's business OF the day
and adjourn before Byrnes could
reach the faraway ticket window. II
also seemed another May shower
might come up at any time, and
Byrnes was a troubled man.
He had an idea and called over q

as q member of Congress. Representa-
tive Byrnes told the cop of the pres

to do something. The cop was an
agreeable fellow and walked to the
head OF the line where he consulted
with p sailor from the Washington
navy yard who was within a foot
or SO of the ticket seller.
When the COB bought his ticket he
also purchased for Byrnes and Vinson-
A moment later he walked back TO
Mr.. Byrnes and made delivery. Then
he said:
"Say. mister. here's your tickets. I
got EN- for you. Now they tell ms
you are a member of Congress. I'm
working down here at the Navy Yard.
I'm trying to get a new rating and
a promotion. Seems to me, since got

tive Byrnes. "After the circus has
gone. come around to my office and
Ill write you a strong letter and I'll
make Carl Vinson do the same. Any
body who can get us circus tickets on
a day like this deserves a return IA

Pretty soon some naval officer
probably will get two strong letters
signed by Influential members OF the
House asking why the talents of Sail

Miss Day explains that generally
speaking the body Is modelled some

to be eligible the essential qualifica-
tion is that the applicant shall have
performed some definite work In
Europe in the aid of the United
States or its allies. To be eligible
1t is not necessary TO have been
regularly enlisted In the military or
naval forces, although any woman
who was enlisted in the army or
navy comes within the requirements.
The union Is both patriotic and
social, intending to perpetuate the
memory of those OF their co-workers
who died in France, cherish the

stirring days OF 1917 and 1918 and
be ready at any time for a call to

planned the proposed name was the
American Women's Overseas League,
but when some way suggested the
initials in this title went Ito make
up "A w. o. L." which is not con-
sidered complimentary in the mill
tary or navy life, IT was promptly
changed to the Women's Overseas
Service League which was more
Representative and better adapted to
those who served with the allies.
As plans progress IT is expected
the laws will be so changed as to
make eligible the children and later
descendants of all those who were
