place there is no other &C. Brooke
residing at this number on Fifth
Avenue. In the third place, l venture
to say that not in all the circle of
your acquaintance is there another

sibly be confused. There may be

The substitute father studied her
with quick interest.
"You are an apt pupil" he said.
"'The suggestion is excellent. When
it is necessary for me to obtain new

Somehow Constance did not feel
that she had achieved an effective
retort. She did not in the least in
tend to be of any assistance in pro-
noting economy and efficiency.

advantage.

2.50O AFRICAN LIONS
 OWNED IN AMERICA

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-How many African lions are in the United States? The plan of the Pacific Coast Sportsmen's club, recently in- corporated, to stock hunting pre- serve in California with lions and tigers and other game, has given the questions certain interest.
 Tt will doubtless surprise most people to know that, according to the most reliable estimate, there are about 2,5OO lions in this country" said an old-time animal man con- nected with the club. They are distributed among geological gar dens, circus menageries and profes- sional animal dealers. If all lions were exterminated in Africa, the United States has enough lions to re-stock Africa in few decades"

FACES OF VICTIMS OF
 WAR BEING MADE OVER
 BY BRITISH SURGEON

LONDON, Jan. 7-Great Britain has repaired almost all the broken faces brought back to "blighty" by Tommies wounded at the world war fronts.
 Only a few more than hundred veterans will look out on another New Years day from faces so bad ly disfgured more than six years ago that complete restoration has not yet been possible. They are, however, progressing favorably.
 Plastic surgery has already been successfully applied in reconstruct ing the maimed heads of 221 off cers and 3,228 of other ranks. The Ministry of Pensions has been treat ing such cases at the Queens hos pital. Sidcug, Kent, since March, 1920. Many a man has been admit ted with half his face blown away, or a mere scar where his nose used to be, or minus his lower jaw as a result of high-explosive destruction.
 Repairing broken face involves a series of operations. The face is lit orally built up afresh. The victim leaves the hospital with complete and presentable set of features, not wax work or thelike, but flesh and hlood hone and muscle. all func- tioning normally.
 To supply what is missing from an injured face, the surgeons take a piece of flesh or bone from some other part of the body. The trans fer of flesh has to be effected by stages because it must at no time be completely detached.
 At one stage a "pedicle," as the surgeons call it, is still attached at one end to the place where it ori- ginally belonged-the abdomen or the hip. for instance-while the other end is growing on to the patients arm. In due course, the lower end is cut, and the "pedicle" is switched round to another intermediate site or to the face itself.
 A considerable interval for healing and growth must elapse between each operation and the next. After the transfer is completely finished minor touching up" operations fol low.
 Realistic plaster casts are kept in the hospital museum to indicate the ghastly ruin presented by some ol the faces before treatment.
 Some of the veterans have been in the plastic surgeons hands fol seven years. The Ministry of Pen sions bears the expenses, and the dependents of the pensioners receive a regular allowance. The patients themselves are allowed about dol lar a week pocket-mOney.

COMMUNICATIONS
CANNERY & CIRCUS

You have seen circus coming to a town. What great excitement. An imals, clowns, the fakers. They take everything out of a town in the money line; many a home is left broken-hearted.
 Canneries in Alaska are the same way. They come to operate in sum- mer. Bring with them everything that will cause excitement. There is the phonongraph, radio, jewelry, and other things that can be raffled at sight. There is the punch board, dice, card tables, moonshine, every thing to get the mighty dollar back after payday. When everything is taken every mothers son leaves Alaska, leaving behind them broken hearts. Stores are open on Sunday doing business.
 MT. Paul, did you ever look at the cannery from that standpoint?
