Had Darning Needle
In Arm 10 Years

A darning needle. which for ten
years had been in the upper left arm
of Mrs. Arthur Partridge Of Maple
street. this city was removed this
week. the operation being done by
local doctor.
Mrs. Partridge was not aware that
such a large implement was lodged
in her arm until a short time ago.
The needle had begun its long Jour-
ney. moving towards her heart and
was several inches toward the shoul-
der. from the point in her arm where
she recalls her arm was pricked some
ten years ago. At that time. part
of a needle was removed from her
arm and 1t was thought that was the
entire obstruction. Recently she
could touch one end of the needle
and see the other end make a pro-
fusion. but without breaking the
skin. 1t was thought best by the
doctor to remove it and 1t was found
to be a darn needle, fully two inches
long. mum rusted. but still intact.

HINDENBURG'S ELECTION.

Massachusetts, considers a propo-
.sition interesting to other States.
The idea is to oblige railroads kill
ing competition annoying to them,
but useful to the public, by inter-
ferring with omnibus passenger
lines. The scheme is cleverly
worked out.
First, owners of omnibuses using
public roads would be compelled to
get certificates of public necessity
and urgency.
That isn't so very dangerous, be-

demand a convenient omnibus SER
vice could bring pressure to bear

But it would also be necessary
for an omnibus line to get. a per-
nit from the local authorities OF
every little town and village
Through whichsit might pass. With
such a law in force it would. only
be necessary for. the. railroad to
buy one or two little local bodies
and tsrat wouldn't be difficult
yas'.
The railroads need something =
wake them up, and they ouGnt to
be grateful for mild omnibus COM
petition. BY and by they viii have
real competition in the airplano,e9
routes. And even railroads WI,
hardly suggest that the p922..e
haven't & right to fly through their
own atmosphere without special
permission. -,
The omnibus line as a medium
of long-distance transportation is
an established fact. You may ride
ov bus all the way from San Diego
to Seattle, the whole length OF our
Western coast.
