SURGEONS GRATED
EYES ON YOUTH
TOOK DYING MANS OPTICS,
AND PERFORMED A RE-
VARIABLE OPERATION.

A blind boy has been made to see
with ewes transplanted from a dying
man. according to surgeons who per-
formed a remarkable operation on
Tohn Eichberger, 70 years old, OF
Hornell, N. Y. -Four years ago Eich-
berger was struck in the face with a
stone. The left eye was injured SO Sc
verelv that the sight was DESTROYED,
and the sight of the other eye failed.
Last August Eichberger was taken
to a hospital where an operation was
performed. 1t was only partly success
full. and after two later operations 1t
was found that the pupils were. 50
diseased that it was believed that sight
could not be restored.
Realizing the hopelessness OF the
situation, surgeons are declared to nave
transferred live and healthy pupils to
Eichberger's sockets. The pupils were
taken from another man in the hos
pital who had no chance to live. The
operation appeared to be feasible at
the time. it is said, because the nerves
leading to the pupils of Eichberger
ewes were alive.
AS soon as the healthy pupils were
connected with the live nerves sight
began to return to Eichberger. I'M
nrovement was slow but steady. / he
case is declared to have progressed to
such a point that hospital surgeons
are certain the operation will become
a success and that the patient will be
able to see as well, if not better, thar
he ever did.

Winter Scale Spray Injury to Peaches

Growth causing them to go into dor
NANCY very late. if at all Late cult1va-
ton also induces late dormancy. Yet,
in view OF all these factors tremend-
ons amount of winter scale spray was
app1icd during November and Deem
her when the trees were not entirely
dormant, and as consequence great
deal of last years growth has been
destroyed on account OF spray injury;
Dormant scale spray can be appiied
with safety in the north shortly after
the foliage falls; however, IN our lat
itude this cannot be done unless there
is enough cold weather and light treez~
es in the late fall and early winter to
force the trees into entire dormancy
Growers are advised to pay particu-
lar attention to weather conditions IN
the fall to determine the time to start
with the scale spray. The caust1c ma
terials necessary to produce mortality
of the San lose scale will injure the
Drevious seasons growth of the peach
tree unless it is entirely dormant. At
tention is also called in advance to
the very bad practice of summer prun-
ing of peach trees which was started
last wear by some growers. Leave this
operation also until the trees are dor
mant, and avoid throwing them into
late growth, and also Interfering

Peach growers in many sections OF

How The Swans of Wells

Birds Which Swim in Moat About
Bishops Palace Ring Bell.

Hallam Hawksworth, writing in St.
Nicholas in the series, The, Work

ing story which once appeared IN st.
Nicholas He says
4 remember reading in St. Nicholas
number Of years ago of the famous
swans that every visitor to Wells and
its wonderful cathedral sees gliding
about in the waters of the moat around
the bishops palace. At their regular
dinner time, or whenever the swans
feel inclined, Father Swan starts for
the gatehouse, with the rest OF the
family following in a long, graceful
procession. From the gatehouse Win
dows there hangs a string attached to
4 BELL inside the gatehouse, and TAX
.pg the string in his bill Father Swan
gives it several vigorous jerks. Where

with basket of bread which, follow

upon the waters; and the bread comes

Ford Has Not Seen
The Henry Ford Book
Auto Maker Not Responsible for Any
Statements Made in the Volume.
That 2oO0O.OOO Dollars.

DETROIT, Mich.-A dispatch from
Washington to the Detroit Journal
says;
Henry Ford has never seen the
book entitled, The Truth About
Henry Ford" nor did he authorize its
publication, consequently he feels no
responsibility it may contain.
This is the Detroit automobile man
ufacturer's answer to a letter which
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
wrote him several weeks ago, inquiring
about a statement in the book to the
effect that Mr. Ford had returned war
profits amounting to $29,000,000 to the
government of the United States.
When the book, which was written
by Sarah T. Bushnell, first appeared it
caused considerable comment in
Washington, for it contained the di-
rect statement that Mr.. Ford had re-
funded all his war profits to the gov
eminent. 1t was said that this refund
amounted to $29000,000.
The treasury department promptly
announced that there was no record of
any such payment and naturally there
was considerable interest in the mat
ter.
Secretary Mellon finally wrote direct
to Mr.. Ford for information as to how
the alleged S29,0O0,OOO donation to the
government stood from his point of
view.

WAR OF WITS ON u. S.
AND MEXICAN BORDER
INTERNATIONAL SMUGGLERS
CENTER AT Ell PASO AND
TUAREZ. MUCH BOOZE.

Ell PASO, Texas.-The brains OF
Texas rangers and an army OF federal
customs officials and narcotic liquor
agents are pitted against the endless
ingenuity of great band OF SNUG
glers in as thrilling battle tor SUI
premacy as the romantic and adven-
turous DAYS Of a half century ago ever
knew along the Mexican border. Rev
Citations of the last few weeks have
brought to light some of the details OF
this battle Of wits along the 5000 miles
of wild border country on the Klo
Grande.
Highly organized bands of narcotic
smupplers. with agents in all of the
European countries and China; Jewel
and silk smugglers employing beaut1-
full and clever women; booze SNUG
glers who stop at nothing to, evade
American prohibition laws-all are
keeping up 24-hour hight every DAY
to win fortunes. The government is
fighting back with all its resources.
Much Booze Struggled.
The efforts of the narcotic snug
q1ers are largely conferred in Ell Paso,
Texas, and Juarex, Mexico, just across
the boundary from Ell Paso, although
the vast expanse of the border line
keeps a big squad of two-gun lnspec-
tors constantly on the jump. Another,
menace is the organizations engaged
in bringing diamonds, laces, and many
other dutiable valuables into the Unit
ed States. Conhscations reveal that
the smuggling trade along these lines
| has li1nitless ram1hCat1Ons.
More numerous, even, are the booze
smugglers. The liquors of every coun-
try find their way into Mexico and
then to the border, and pack trains
of champagne have been captured.
Rare Rhine vintages, Italian wines
there is no label that inspectors are
mot familiar with
Despite the handicaps OF the gov
ernment agents Roadway is beng
made against the smugglers. Scores
Of long federal sentences have been
handed out recently, and the, co-operra-
ton OF the Texas rangers, the regular
army troops and the inspectors IS
making smuggling a harder game to
beat every day.

DAILY CONFLICTS
MAR CONFERENCE
FAILURE TO END DISCORDS
SOURCE OF ANXIETY AT GE-
NOA. FRENCH BLAMED.

GFNOA-As the Genoa conference
reaches the end OF its second week s
work it unfortunately is impossible to
make any optimistic survey OF its
achievements. So far as anything tan
gible has emerged it is confined, iron
;caIlv enough. to the Russo-German
treaty, and that unhappily is still a
serious element of discord in the con-
ference.
The daily conflicts between Barthou
and the Germans or Russians can not
continue indefinitely, and the sense OF
strain that is being engendered at Ge--
noa is causing serious anxiety 10 an
who realize the Importance, spirit and
atmosphere in such a conference as
this. it is true the technical commit
fees on finance, economics and trans
Dort work on placid1y enough but
the whole interest of the conference IS
centered in the political sub commls-
sion and that body is daily ploWlng a
precarious way through Crisis after
crisis. -.....;,
The action of the supreme council
powers in meeting by themselves 10
discuss the Russian problem IS respon-
sible for much of the trouble that has
arisen. but behind that decision hes
the fact that is really at the root OF
the whole difficulty and is the real
cause of the comparative failure OF the
conference.-the refusal OF France to
meet either Russia or Germany on
equal terms. While it lasts the unlt1-
cation of Europe is out OF the ques-
ton, and unfortunately Genoa, so lar
from softening the asper1ties, seems 10
have emphasized them. =.
And behind all else is the impending
reparation crisis. The Germans are still
pinning all their hopes to an lnterna-
tional loan, and ]. Pierpont Morgan S
reported acceptance of a place on the
committee appointed by the reparatiion
commission to consider the question
has given them much satisfaction. But
the events at Genoa have greatly di-
minished the prospects OF a reparationl
settlement, although the urgency OF
the problem may work to force an
agreement even in spite OF the ami
mosities that are conspIr1ng against 1t.
On the other hand, it is declared IN
responsible circles that the French are
only being kept out of the Ruhr by
strenuous efforts of the British and
other allies. This is not cheerful sur
vey to send America, but it is the real
situation.

LENGTHEN HOLES ON
CITY GOLF COURSE

A number of changes are being
made at the Municipal Golf course,
which will bring about a great i'm
provement in the course. The i'm
provement being made IS the leng-
thening OF several OF the holes, in
order to break up the congestion on
the third and fourth holes.
Since the opening OF the course,
the congestion at these two holes has
given much trouble and has even
made Il dangerous for the players
IN that vicinity. The lengthening out
process will mean the shortening OF
the second hole, which will give a
few yards more TO the third hole.
The sixth hole is being heightened
so yards. while the eighth is being
extended about 40 yards. These
changes are expected TO result in
much Improvement to the course and
will make playing over the links
much better. The par on the various
holes will remain the same as it has

the two teams. hut the Bacharachs
