DR.. Franklin II. Martin. secretary
general of the American College Of

Of the Oregon section of the college

One of these benefits. he said. was
the advancement Of surgery.
Surgery learned some valuable

great laboratory in which new and
important secrets Of the human body
were learned.
Ten years ago no surgeon dared

taught Us that this was unnecessary
and lung operations are performed
every day now IN standard operating

brain tissue itself could be made IN
many cases. Our whole technique

Romance of Bagdad Bride-to-be
Checked by Secretary of Labor

WASHINGTON, Oct. Import
ing wife from a foreign country
has its difficulties, according to Shi-
mon Sargis. who. after paying for
the transportation OF his intended
bride from Mesopotamia, getting ar
rested for speeding and Kidnapping.
paying out good money for attor-
ney's fees. and being involved IN
other ways. finds himself just as
wifeless as he ever was. The secre-
tary Of labor has just given the final
jolt 70 Sargis.
The story starts way back in the
days before the world war. when
Sargis left his home in Persia and
came 10 the United States. leaving
behind all the acquaintance of his
youth. Among the friendships which
he had formed was that OF a family
named PolOs. consisting OF a father,
mother and a daughter. black-eyed
and pretty but still a mere child.
During the 10 years that followed
little Blandina PolOs forgot that she
ever knew Shimon Sargis. but not so
easily WIS memory Of the little child
effaced from Sargis' recollection.
Meantime things had gone hard
with the little family OF Assyrians in
Persia. The war came and with it
renewed attacks and religious perse.
cutiOns on the part OF the Turks and
Kurds. Father Polos was killed
and the mother and little Blandina
wandered from place TO place with
other rafuraec arriving thraa Yea -
ago at Bagdad. Here they remained
while many of their friends. FORUM
ate in having relatives or others in
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1921-10-02

America who had means 70 assist
them, left for the United States.
Then one day Mother Poles re-
ceived a letter from Sargis. He loved
little Blandina, now approaching
young womanhood. and he wanted to
marry her. He sent money to pay
her passage. Blandina did not re-
member him, but what did that mat
ter? Times were hard in Bagdad
and there was no relief in sight.
Could anything be worse than the
refugee camp in which they had
been living for three years? SO rea-
soned mother and daughter and the
question was decided.
Wherein Sargis Wins.
The mother instinct to protect her
child was strong IN Mother olos,
and while realizing the good o err of
Sargis. she thought TO further afe-
guard her daughter by appealing 10
her nephew. David Jacobs, who had
been in this country - years and
who had become citizen. In quaint,
Unlicensed language the mother
wrote Jacobs asking him to send for
odISlSt lHeu living III BIlC EepOIL,
Conn. and IF you like the young
man you can use your judgment in
giving the girl to him in marriage"
The next chapter in the little
drama was enacted at the immigra
ton station at Boston. where Blan-
dina arrived with friends. When
they arrived they were dismayed to
find that the three per cent immigra-
ton law prevented them from enter
ing the country. Cousin Jacobs
meantime. had received the appeal
Of Mother Polos and was waiting
Blandina with open arms. nor did
Sargis forget that his prospective
bride was arriving on the steamer
Then, when the joyful news was re-
ceived from Washington that Assy-ri-
ans arriving in excess Of the quota
were TO be allowed to come into the
United States, there were too many
desiring that Blapdina should make
her home with them. Perhaps the
mothers wishes would have been
carried out from the beginning had
the immigration authorities known

SALE TAX GROWS IN
FAVOR WITH SENATE
Proponents Claim Bill of Sen.
SmOot is Winning New
Followers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA grow
ing sentiment in the senate in favor
OF Sen. Shoots plan for a manufac-
turers' sale tax as a substitute for
the many miscellaneous war levies
was claimed today by proponents OF
such a tax. They predicted that the
more senators studied the pending
revenue measure the more they
would come 10 favor the sales levy.
Republican leaders had not made
a canvass OF the majority member
ship and were without accurate in
formation as TO the strength Of ad-
vocates Of this form OF taxation.
Features OF the committee bill
against which the greatest opposi-
ton appears TO have developed thus
far are those proposing retention OF
the transportation taxes and reduc-
ton OF the maximum surtaX rate TO
80 per cent. Republicans In the ag-
ricultural bloc have joined demo
Gratis in the fight on the former and
a number of them have stated pri-
vately their opposition 20 the latter.
Attack Surtax Section.
The SurtaX SecuOn has drawn
much Of the democratic fire TO date.
Members Of the finance commit
tee say they are not welded 10 the
transportation tax. Sen. Penrose has
explained that the committee had TO
provide sources of revenue and that
tn retention of this tax or the sub
stitution OF some other tax is a
mere shutting of the cards"
A canvass of the republican SEN
ators by leaders is said TO have shown
an overwhelming majority in favor
Of repeal Of the excess profits tax.
This is not opposed by the demo-
Gratis generally, If some other means
is found Of obtaining substantially
the same revenue from corporations.
Sen. Walsh, of Mass. democratic
member Of the finance committee.
has proposed in lieu the committee
rate Of 10 per cent on corporation
income a sliding scale OF rates with
a tax OF 121z per cent on the first
100000 Of income. Is per cent on
that from 100000 to 100000, 20
per cent on that from 100000 TO
