Summer, according to G. C. Leach,
chief Of the Division of Fish Culture
The rescue crews ordinarily do most
of their fish saving in the upper Mis-.

year the upper Mississippi situation is
not expected to be serious, as snow
fall has been plentiful and this will
tend to prevent rapid drying out of

Tooth in Woman's
Lung for Month
Finally Removed

A tooth, lodged in the right lung
of Mrs. Basil B. Hopkins. 713 Nine
teenth street, was extracted yester-
day by an unusual operation, which
probably averted the formation of
an abscess on the lung.
A tube with a small electric bulb
on its end, known as a grain of
wheat lamp" was lowered into her
throat. Then pair of long, mar
row forceps were used to draw the
tooth delicately from it's perilous
position. The operation took less
than half an hour and no general
anesthetic was required.
The tooth became lodged in her
lung about month ago, when she
went to the dentist to have it pulled
and swallowed it as she inhaled the
gas. 1t caused irritation resulting
in a cough. An X-ray taken at the
Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat
Hospital disclosed the source OF the
trouble and the operation was per-
formed by her physician in his
Offices.
