SURGEON USES MUSIC
TO "STEAL" APPENDICES
Phonograph Is Added to Operating
Equipment of Hospital at
Brooklyn.

From the New York Herald.
1t might appear like a white enam-
eled sanitary icebox if you were being
wheeled into the operating room at
St GATHERINGS Hospital in Brooklyn,
but it has sweet music in it-sweeter
than ever came out of cold roast and
the other odds and ends. So, it turns
out to be a phonograph, all white and
clean, like the icebox.
1t has been put there, according to
DIR. John NJ. Scannell one of the trus-
tees and surgeons of the hospital, to
aid in overcoming the psychological
effect a patient experiences in an op-
Grafton that calls only for local anes-
thesia.
Perhaps 90 per cent of the opera
tions 1 am called to do are done with
local anesthetics," DIR. Scannell said
last night we give the anesthetic
first and have the phonograph in op-
GRAFTON as the patient is carried into
the room. The effect of going to a
concert rather than a slaughter house
is produced. Under it's soothing int1u-
ence / have actually stolen an appen-
dix, the patient not realizing the ap-
pendix was gone until we told him.
He had been listening to the music
all the while"
According to the temperament of
the patient, some like jazz and others
like the type of Garry Me Back to
Ole Virginny." Brooklynites who have
been operated on are enthusiastic.

The Public Utilities Commission

There was no inkling forthcoming
at the District building this morning
as TO what the verdict would be

William Mex Clayton of the fed
Grafton took the position the COM
pany could stand q reduction. The

Nane, filed a brief in which he con-
tended Clayton failed at the public

TO justify reduction. He also argued
that before changing rates the com

Dido's Hectic Career.

From the Kansas City Times.
Dido was the queen OF Carthage,
which she founded. and was wor-
SHIPPED as 4 goddess. Her father
married her TO her uncle. He was
murdered before the altar by her
brother, who desired TO possess the
uncle's wealth. Dido thereupon set
sail for Africa with all her wealth
and her faithful companions. They
landed on the coast of Africa, not
far from Utica, Tyrian colony. She
purchased "as much land as might
be covered with the hide of 4 bull
She cut a hide into the thinnest pos
sible strips, and inclOsed sufficient
ground upon which to build the cita-
del of Byrsa- She afterward built
Carthage.
Hiarbas, neighboring prince,
sought her for his wife. but being
unwilling to accept and unable to
refuse the proposal, she sacrificed
her life on the funeral pile.

Important Resolutions
Important resolutions were return
ed to the congress today by the reso-
lutions committee and were acted
upon. The first to be passed by
unanimous vote was that introduced
by Mrs Robert Lansing yesterday,
through which the society urged es-
tablishment at George Washington
University OF a school OF diplomacy
where young men determined to en-
bark upon 4 diplomatic career might
have assistance of broader educa-
t!Onal facilities.
So numerous were the resolutions
calling upon America TO adopt a poll
icy of sane military preparedness,
that the resolutions committee saw
fit to recommend their adoption as
blanket.
IN substance. the resolutions re-
affirmed belief by the Daughters of
the American Revolution in policy
Of sane military preparedness for
war : not to be confused as
4
tion To all pacitist efforts to weaken
our national defense
When Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook.
the president general, called for the
question, a roar of yeas carried the
blanket of preparedness resolutions.
Are there any opposed" the presid-
ing officer asked, as she raised her
gavel. To the surprise of the entire
assembly, a lone voice from the north
gallery shouted NO" and was follow
ai hV nf
other delegates.
For Auditorium Committee
The resolution authorizing the
president general TO appoint COM
mittee to inquire into the means and
need of a new auditorium. large
enough TO accommodate the ever
growing membership of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, was
passed by unanimous vote. The COM
mittee. however, has not yet been an
nounced-
Another resolution to be adopted by
acclamation was that reindorsing
federal department of education and
federal aid to the education needs OF
the several states.
A merry little fight ensued when
the committee chairman reported out
a resolution which would have au-
thorized those in charge of the schol-
arshiD endowment fund for the Philip
pine Islands to invest their moneys in
other than government bonds in Or
der to obtain higher rate Of interest.
AS the chairman recommended adop-
tion of the resolution Il dozen dele
gates leaped to their feet, and one by
one declared they believed it would be
unwise for the society to invest it's
hard-earned funds in any but the
safe and sure bonds of our own gov
ernment" In vain the chairman of
the endowment funds committee de-
tended the resolution, and ii was
lost by a safe majority.
Japanese Issue Up Again.
Another resolution striking at
Japanese immigration although in
more yelled terms than that intro
duced by the Maryland delegation
Yesterday, was offered by the delega-
ton from Oregon, and was referred
to the resolutions committee. If
adopted it would place the Daughters
Of the American Revolution as
strongly favoring passage of the i'm
migration restriction bill "aS intro
duced in Congress" by the United
States Congress. 1t will be reported
out Saturday morning.

WASHINGTON FEARS
CHINA is TURNING
TO BOLSH EVISN
Latest Developments Are AS
Unpleasant As Can Be Inn
agined Says Stewart
NEA Service WRITER
i BY CHARLES p. STEWART

AS WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-From
sths State Department division Of
far eastern affairs standpoint, lat
est developments as possibly car be
imagined.
1t was bad enough when japan
appeared to have gained control of
affairs at Peking.
It's still worse now rat Russia
seems to be getting tho upper hand.
About fortnight ago Tsoa Kun
was president of China, nominal'y.
His capital was Peking. His author
ity outside the city limits was doubt
full but at least he was recognized
as far north as the Great Wall and
as far south as the Yangtse.
South of the Yangtse DR.. sun
Vat Sen, with headquarters at Can
ton, was more or less in contcol-.
about as much in control as Tsao
Kun was in the north.
The south, however. didn't nat.
ter so much to Tsao Kun. It's a
long way from Peking The line of
demareation between forth and
south is not very distinct. 1t was
as hard for Sun Vat Sen to ger to
Peking as for Tsao Kun to get to
Canton. From Peking to Canton is
1900 miles in an airline, 1000 by
any practicable route aud by water
at that.
Great Wall on North
But on the north the Great Wall
is sharp boundary, near to Pek-
ing-less than 200 miles, and there
are two railroads.
And to the northwqid is Man
churia, where Chang Tso-Lin is
boss.
