Torches Used to Free Men

FAIRFAX, Calf, May 16 (P.-A
our-engined Army bombing plane
with eight men aboard crashed 3
miles west of here early today, criti-
cally injuring at least three, one of
whom was trapped with five others
in the wreckage.
The pilot and co-pilot craWled out
of the control cabin, and a rescue
party cutting with torches through
the fuselage of the BIZ to learn
the fate of the others extricated one
other soldier. The three survivors
were taken to the nearby Hamilton
Field Hospital in critical condition.
First report of the crash at Ham,
ilton Field came at 2:05 am. (PST)
when the pilot telephoned from a
house near the wreckage and re-
ported that some of the six trapped
men were then alive.
Fourth Air Force headquarters re-
ported the plane. bound from Los
Angeles to Hamilton Field, ran out
of gas.
For several hours search parties
hunted for the wrecked plane,
which did not burn, and at 5:15 a m

trapped men.
Hamilton Field reported it was

VA 10 CUT Red Tape
To Increase Number
OF Patients Treated

The Veterans Administration ex-
poets to treat so per cent more vet
Grams a year in it's existing hos
pitals by cutting down administra-
tive red tape and providing enough
doctors to take care of the veterans
as they seek disqualification, DIR.
Paul R. Hawley, the agency's med
ical director, said today.
Just back from tour of veterans
hospitals, DR.. Hawley predicted by
the end of this year the Veterans
Administration will be able to elm
mate its long hospital waiting lists
and veterans will not have to wait
weeks for treatment once they en-
ter the hospitals.
Until recently, he said, a veteran
who wanted simple operation
might have to spend IL days in the
hospital before an operation. Last
year, he reported, the average time
of disqualification per veteran was
81 days. That has already been cut
to 81 days, DR.. Hawley said.
Operations Doubled.
He reported that at Mount Alto
here, where there are two operat-
ing rooms, it has been Is years since
both operating rooms were in use
at the same time. Two months ago,
he added, the hospital had enough
surgeons to double the number of
operations.
Citing examples of increased eff
cheney. DR.. Hawley reported that at
one Ohio veterans hospital the
number of patients treated in the
surgical ward increased by $50 per
cent in one month after Western
Reserve University started supply
ing visiting doctors. At Hines Cen
eral Hospital near Chicago, DR.
Hawley added, Sc per cent more
patients were treated in the first
months of 1916 than in the COM
parable period last year.
BY doubling the number of pa
tients that can be treated, Dr. Haw-
ley estimated the Veterans Ad-
ministration ultimately will save
s1,50O.0OG,O00 in hospital building
costs and S150.0O0,OOO to 5000 900, 900
in operating costs.
Building Plans Blocked.
A spur to the surgical program
is the begging down of hospital
building plans, DR.. HaWley said
Bids on new hospitals, he reported,
are twice as high as Veterans Ad-
ministration hospital appropria-
tions.
1t was learned that Veterans Ad-
ministrator Bradley has asked the
House Appropriations Committee if
the Veterans Administration could
pay the current prices and come
back for deficiency appropriation
to cover the rest of its building
program. He was told to restudy
the possibilities.
DR.. Hawley reported these three
steps to increase the turnover of pa
tients in veterans hospitals:
l. An effort will be made to per-
suade chronic cases to move out to
make way for acute cases.
2. No mental cases will be COM
mltted to mental institutions with
out three months of intensive treat
ment in general hospitals. DR.. Haw-
ley estimated this would cut down
the number of chronic mental cases
by 80 per cent.
3. An experiment is planned un-
der which 100 mental cases would
be taken out of veterans hospitals
and put to work in an industrial re-
habilita ton colony. If this plan is

Candidate Sees Representation Need

Gunnard Engebreth, Republi- can Senatorial candidate for the 3rd Division, from Anchorage, visited in Kodiak this week on a campaign trip, stopping ut Sel- dovia aud Homer on the way down.
 Speaking of the coming elec- tion, Oct. 8, he said that in cases were candidates in Anchorage run close together, that the out lying vote, in Kodiak and other points in the district, determine the winner, and that in view of that fact Kodiak voters should exercise their voting privilege to the fullest and make the weight of their representation known.
 Also pointing out that Kodl- ak's two local candidates in the primaries, Emil Knudsen and Jack Altman, did not place, and that Kodiak had never gained a local representative in the legis- lature over more densely popu- lated areas, he said he would be in favor of a division for Kodiak, the Bristol bay area and the Aieutians, that would enable direct representation from this area.

BULLFROGS
Fried Frog Legs Good,
Says Southport Scribe

Of t%hirty-four, proved clean miss
es.
The method is to get your light
on a frog sitting on the bank. With
the light full on, you can easily
approach within stabbing distance
with your gigg. They sit about as
dumb as things get to be. 1 have
caught plenty of them with no 9TH
er aid than a flashlight and the
bare hands.
Slow Growers
The bullfrog is a very slow grow
er. Under two years old they are
too small fer their legs to be worth
much. Three years old and they
are a fair size, four years and
they are full grown. Our take
ran to an average Of about three
years, which means that there was
a considerable number of full
| grown and a proportionate num-
Der not SO large.
This year there is an amazing
number Of frogs. War time restric-
tions on lights and hunting may
have something to do with their
prevalence. But there is another
matter that I am inclined to think
Is a heavy contributing factor.
Rains Have Helped
Previous to 1910 Brunswick ceun-
ty had a 7-year long dry spell. Dur
ing the period the rainfall shortage
in Brunswick county was in mark
ed contrast to that ct other por.
tons Of the state. Streams and
ponds dried UP, either completely
or to the point where only stag
nant mudholes remained.
Fish and frog life suffered heavi-
ly. During the long dry period q
walk around any of the ponds that
still retained water should reveal
thousands of little mounds of scales
and bones where coons and other
predatory animals and birds had
roasted upon bass and other fish
that had been helpless to soap
them in the diminishing waters.
Fresh water fishing in Bruins
wick got to be at its worst and
frogs got to be vary scarce
Nature Quickly Restores
But about 1910, years of normal
rainfall began to return. Fish in
streams and nonds uhera oil h,d
not persisted began to increase.
From these places turtles, alliga-
tors and other animals carried fish
eggs to ponds that had completely
drled up and were again filled up.
Even the birds carried eggs. Frogs
propagated in the same manner
there is now a good crop of the
four year old adult frogs on prac-
tlcally all ponds. The number of
two and three year olds is pro-
portionally larger.

SOUTHPORT, June 26.-We at

ton of the fact that such a start
for a story may get the sports
and society editors mixed up, and
that the society editor may get
jutnpy. we should say here that
this is not a social item.
The bullfrogs, these bullfrogs,
were fried to a turn. If you have
never eaten bullfrog's legs, and
that is the only item served, il
may be that you could easily be
fooled into thinking you are eating
spring chicken. Fried frogs legs
taste like young chicken. but bet
ter, if you are not junpy and
squeamish.
A dozen people were at the ban
quet. A huge platter piled high
with five dozen pairs of the legs
of three year olds was the main
item of the bill of fare. Everybody
there ate bullfrogs and more bull.

they were satisfied and there was

they were satisfied.

were very accommodating. Under

1t was easy to get in sure shoot
ing distance of them. Trouble is
that there is no such thing as sure
shooting of a bullfrog.
You either have to snoot him in
the legs, damaging or destroying
the part that you want, or it is a
two Out of three bet that he will
jump into the water and get away
from you. Even when he has re-
ceived an Immediately mortal
wound, his legs work automatical-
ly.
In n instance, determined to
get a fat four-year old who was
sitting broadside, we resorted to
a ~20-gauge shotgun. This fired al
close range completely riddled the
body Of the frog. Still, we lost our
meat. The uninjured legs jumped
into two feet of water where we
could never find them.
Turn To Giggs
We shot and retrieved some sc
frogs, but for every pair Of legs
recovered we had lost two pairs.
Disguised, we leaned our guns
against a tree and brought out the
old reliable frog giggs, a sharp
barbed spear on the end Of a light
