POLICEMAN RIB. TO REPLACE FAR
Surgeon Growing It On His Back, But It Is Soon To
 Be TranSplanted

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IA fab ricated ear, being grown and nour- .ised on the back of Wilbur Jones, policeman, will shortly be grafted on his head to replace one cut off three years ago. This operation is being carried out by pr. c. M. Dorrance at the Womans College hospital.
 "The first step" said Dr, Dorrance, was to take a plaster mold of the good ear, reverse it and cast an ex- act model.
 "The second was to obtain a piece of cartilage from Jones' seventh right rib and shape it to conform. It was worked on much as boy might whittle a piece of wood. An incision was made in Jones' back near the center and on line with the shoul- der blades. The skin was lifted and the cartilage, to give 1t life, was put under the skin. Then a strip of skin running from the top of Jones' shoulder to just above the cartilage was shaped in the form of tube, preventing pus formation and still allowing the skin to have life.
 Our next step will be to continue the original incision from the shoul- der until it includes the skin and flesh which have nourished the cart ilage. This will be lifted from the back as one might peel bana. The skin and cartilage, one end still be- ing attached, will be raised from the back and then the nourishing carti- lage fitted to the place where the ear should be.
 "The transplanted cartilage will be grafted to the old ear cartilage and the skin covering sewed to the skin where the ear was. Thus the graft ing process will continue until it has been completed and then the skin tube from, the shoulder will be grad ually cut away. The loose end of the ear will be trimmed and Jones will have a new ear"

SOUTHERN BLOC IS NO MILITANT ONE
Members Of Congress From This Section Meet But Do
 Not Form Organization
z WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGF-B ERALD { Wasltington. D, C.. Dec, 1 l

Southern senators and representa- tives in Congress today did not form southern bloc for the support of the south and southern institutions in competition with the west and western institutions. No permanent organization was formed An agree ment to work for four definite ends was reached, although it was not agreed to use all parliamentary strategy in achieving these ends. In the opinion of perhaps a majority of those who participated, the meeting will have no tangible results unless certain success should come without unusual effort.
 The southerners agreed to ask that calcium arsenate be put on the free list and that the interstate commerce commission reduce the freight rates on calcium arsenate, that particular care be- exercised in that cotton fore 1 casts be accurate, and that the Con- gress give Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford so that southern farmers might have an abundance of cheap fertilizer Committees were named to prosecute these ideas. F8e-.
 There was apparently an opportu nifty that southerners by combining in a permanent organization could achieve for the south just as the
 west has achieved for the west The opportunity, however, was not grasped and the south instead of 1 fighting will continue to request.

ENGLISH GIRL ON VISIT TO VETERAN

NEW YORK; Dec. 1.-Eileen K. Master an English lass with bobbed auburn locks and sparkling black eyes, arrived today on the Orbita to see how the wounded Tommy Atkins she had staked to a Florida fruit farm was getting along.
 Back in the war days Miss Master tended Private George Smith when he was carried into a British hospi- tai, gassed and wounded. Then he went back to "Blighty."
 Some time later he again met his nurse. He was still getting over his wounds and living on the small dole he received from His Majestys gov ernment sl .-,
 So Miss Master, who had inherited a little money, turned it over to the wounded lad, who came to America and established himself in New Port Richey, Fla. She said today she wasn't in the least concerned about getting the money back.
 T can afford it for one of our lads" she said quietly.
 Then came a question which brought not quite so calm a response.
 Marry George? No. indeed, First I must see how good a farmer he is."
 And she added, with a nod:
 George may have met some charm ing American"

MAYF |ELD CASE: |s CAUSE FUR WORRY
Johnson And Underwood Will Find Kan Element In Texas
 Election Embarrassing
WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD IYashingtOn. ID. C.. Dec. l

Southern senators who regard lnelf tenure of office as insecure or who are animated by a keen desire to fore stall opposition are distressed that the case of Senator elect Mayfield of Texas will require them to as sume position which might be questioned either by the Ku Klux Klan or those who oppose the Ku KluX Klan.
 The seat of the Texas senator elect is contested on the allegation that he was chosen by the llan and as re- suit of the expenditure of an inordi- nate sum of money. The majority of southern senators, it appears today, are fearful lest their vote for May field will be regarded as inconsistent with their vote against Senator New berry of Michigan. and inconsistent with the constitution which guar antees freedom of religious worship, or that their vote against Mayfield will array against them the power of the klan.
 Embarrass Underwood and Johnson.
 It is said that the situation will be especially embarrassing to Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama and Senator Hiram Johnson of California, the only members of the Senate with announced presidential aspirations. MT. Johnson has not committed him. self. Mr Underwood, however, is in the open.
 Returning to Washington today, the Alabama senator declared that he would not vote for or against May field because of the klan. He ex- pressed belief that the klan as in- dividuals or as body had the right to vote for any one. On the con trary, he declared that he would be governed entirely by the evidence, and that if it be proved that May field expended too much money he would vote against him.
 Stands With Constitution.
 Senator Underwood declares that if the klan's code conflicts with the constitution of the United States he will stand with the constitution The Alabamian is not embarrassed. it ap- pears, by the Mayfield case He thinks the only ones to be embarrassed are those who have not taken a posi- tion. He holds that every presi- dential aspirant, eventually, will be forced to declare himself, and that no one will stand against the con- stitution.
 The Mayfield case promises to arouse exceeding great bitterness. It will be long and hard fought. The indications are that he will be seated. although republicans are anxious to retaliate for the democratic offen- sive against Newberry.

bitterness and a glaring distrust, the one faction of the other. In matters of legislation, this bitterness and suspicion of respective motives will render attempts at constructive leg islation abortive. The strategy ot the democrats Is to say little and permit the republicans to destroy themselves. Democratic leaders be- lieve that the scism in republican ranks will become so obvious to the country and so disgusting to the country that the country will become convinced that the republicans, when intrusted with power. are incapable of acceptably legislating. Demo- crats feel that it will not be neces- sary for them even to intimate to the people that they were respon- sible for chaotic conditions.
 In other words, it Is believed by democratic leaders that without un- due provocation on their parts the republicans will proceed in such de- structive manner that they will make certain the election of democratic to the presidency.
 The "Old Guard" leaders are now signing for a man with "big stick" They admit, privately, the need of a man In the White House capable of leading, or, in the event of failure to lead. of driving.
 It Is known that MT. Coolidge is no Roosevelt. It Is said that he IS entirely lacking in the "humanness' of MT. Harding which, on any occa- sion, was capable of dissuading ir- reconcilables from their unconven- tional purposes.
 And thus the xty-eighth session will come to it's beginning. The democrats, while in minority, have never had more brilliant prospects in the history of the country. It seems that they will not have to achieve greatness. It will be thrust upOn them.

BLESSES TWO WHO SENT HIM TO PEN
Father Gives Sons~ Honey moon Photograph Of Him.
 self And Dead Mother

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Gost Matsan- gas, the Greek peddler, who last week was found guilty of the murder of his wife, gave his blessing to the sons, whose vivid description of the murder scene was responsible for his conviction, and then started tor Sing Sing prison. His sentence, pro- nounced by Judge c. T. Grain. was that he must serve at least 20 years, and perhaps his whole lifetime, for the crime.
 Plumbing in his shabby coat pocket after he heard the sentence, the pris- oner produced a tiny package which he handed to the judge.
 "Give this to my children" he said i; Tit is all l have foar them. l forgive them for what they did to me. In my heart I go to jail an innocent man. My wife was shot accidentally
 Judge Grain told the father he would have an opportunity to present the little parcel to his children in per- son, and that they would be sent to him for his farewell as soon as he re- turned to the cell. The two boys had been in the corridor while their fathers sentence was pronounced, and the younger children were brought from uptown by the aunts with whom they are living.
 The package contained gold brooch in which was a photograph of Mat sangas and his dead wife, Victoria taken soon after they were married. This picture the father handed to the oldest boy, Aristophanes, who looked at the smiling faces of his parents in their youth and burst into tears. To the second son, John, was given his fathers gold watch and chain. There were a few cheap rings and trinkets for the little girls.
 Then. the father kissed then. all and the family party broke up. Aristo- phanes and his little sister. Antoi- nette, are to live at 309 East Twenty ninth street with an aunt; Marie and the, baby, with another aunt next door. John goes to Worcester. Mass.

FNGl ISH SUFFRAGIST BECOMES EVANGELIST
Christobel Pankhurst Changes Her Tactics In Fight On Economic Ills

lacIlCS LII Aite'
 CHICAGO, Dec. In London bookshop, while turning the leaves of an old Bible, a determination came to Christabel Pankhurst, militant suffragist, war worker and political leader, to preach the Scriptures as the Divine solution for human ills. Miss Pankhurst, who begins a series of lectures on Biblical prophecy here
 "As 1 turned the leaves" she said, q came across Writings of prophecy, foretelling and diagnosing the worlds ills and promising that they should be cured.
 "Up to that time I had taken the Bible prophecies no more seriously than a great many other people. I had simply ignored them, and I never dreamed they had any bearing on the world problems of ourt time--heavy taxation, economic difficulties, social tragedies and international perplex- ities.
 My eyes saw that this Divine pro- gram is absolutely the only one that can solve the international, social, moral and political problems of the world.
 Each year the bulk of revealed prophecies becomes larger as more of the prophecies come true," she s1 i'd.

PRIME MINISTER'S NO TAILOR MODEL
Mems Wear Organizer Takes A Dig At Canadian Lead
 CTS Sartoriaily

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The dominion prime ministers, who have just con cluded their work in the imperial conference, may be statesmen to some people, but they are just a bunch of men who don't cater to London haberdashers.
 The current number of the Mems Wear Organizer deals instructfvely with the sartorial shortcomings of the premiers. This is part of their indictment:
 Massey of New zealand-His jacket has been cut for comfort, and makes no pretense of being any fashion at all. The useful outside breast pocket is missing. He Nhas no use for permanent cuffs to his trousers; he even carries an unrolled umbrella.
 Mackenzie, King, of Canada-He has, we fear, no respect for his tailor. His coat Is poor fit. The pockets are used for hand-rests, and his trousers are sadly in need of 'up- lift His one sartorial virtue is that he wears a Bowler hat"
 General Shuts is let off lightly because he has too much important business on his mind to bother about the age, the fit or the quality of his clothes"
 Premier Bruce of Australia alone takes his tailoring seriously and fashionably."

COLOR SENSE HIGHER
 IN GIRLS THAN BOYS

LONDON, Dec. 1.--Woman has been proved superior to man in yet another way.
 It has long been admitted that women can wear clothes better and spend money worse than men. Now Dr. H. Lundborg, the famous Swed- sh scientist, declares that they are far superior to men in the color sense.
 Even where the color sense is transmitted from both parents to their children, it becomes weaker in the boys, Dr. Lundborg declares, until in the third generation all the girls in the family may possess it strongly while the boys have lost it entirely.
 This. Dr. Lundborg points out, is the reason why a woman travelling 30 miles an hour in a motor-car can pick out and make mental picture of colors that please her
