Of NATURE
SAVES CHILD AS
DOCTORS WAIT
Surgeons Stand by While Bullet
Passes from Vital Part
of Girls Brain.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2y.-Nature per.
formed a miraculous operation and
crowned with success the valiant
battle Of surgeons to save the life
Of a five-year-old girl. who, with a
bullet in her brain, has hovered be.
tween life and death in the Ameri-
can hospital for almost a year.
Doctors stood by in breathless sps-
pense and saw the bullet slowly but
surely forced from the brain sub
stance.

! Two hours later little Valentine
Ekeohunst sat UP in bed chattering
gayly at her dollie. Nature had
accomplished a surgical feat so dan.
gerous that DR.. Max Thorek, the
surgeon-in-chief, had said he would
operate only as a last resort.
Valentine is the daughter Of Wlad-

Bullet Punctures Eye.
At the hospital It was found a .32'
calibre bullet had penetrated the left
eye, punctured the membranous tis
sue and lodged in that part of the
brain which controls all bodily move
ments. Paralysis or death was i'm
minent.
DR.. Thorek said the chances of the
child surviving an operation were
too remote to warrant it unless death
seemed certain.
Then began a grim battle to sus
tain the tiny spark Of life until tht
crisis came. Hourly X.ray photo
yraphs were taken.
The crisis was reached when the
X-ray revealed the bullet was slowly

This conclusion has been reached
by the Committee OF the Privy

The committee, after a prolonged

opinion that this efficiency can
only be secured through scientific

fifths Of their food, and for a
great part Of the necessary raw

"These supplies can only be OBJ

Decatur Dam Overdows ;
State Road Damaged;
Families Driven Out.

Decatur, Ill, March 20.-Water
was running over the top of Deca-
turs impounding dam this morning,
although two openings had been
left in the dam to allow for flood
waters The top of the dam is 610
feet above sea level and the De
catur water supply company, con-
trolling the basin of the lake, has
secured all the land that is flooded
by the Sangamon river now. Con-
siderable damage is being caused
to new road grades which have
not been rip-rapped.
The water Immediately back of
the dam is about twenty feet above
the normal heighth of the river
Two roads to the east are closed
because of the water backed ul
by the dam. Roads south, west
and north are open.
New Pavement Threatened.
Springfield, ILL.,, March 20.-Pos-
sibility that high water over the
state aid road at Chandlerville, in
Cass county, may wash the pave
ment away, was expressed here
this morning by Maintenance En-
gineer Fred Tarrant of the state
division of highways, upon the re-
port tha tthe water over the road
is being whipped into motion by a
high wind.
An engineer from the department
reached the scene this morning and
reported back that water covers
the entire length of the paved sec
ton.
"If the wind starts the water
into waves, Mr.. Tarrant said, there
is danger that it will eat in on the
sides and wash the road out of po-
sition."
Rains of last week, Mr.. Tarrant
said, have caused more trouble for
the highway division than ever be-
fore. Last week a 50foot span
bridge at Greenup in Cumberland
county was washed away. 1t will
have to be completely rebuilt An
other bridge at Thayer was dam
aged. Water covered the hard road
south of Carlinville and at Staun-
ton, but has since then receded.
