Mrs. Fred Haggren, who broke
I er arm at Iditarod recently and
who was operated on Tuesday, is
s reported to be resting easy and
| doing fine. The operation, which
was performed by Dr. David More,
was for the purpose of freeing the
i ends of the fractured bone from
the adhesions which had formed and
prevented the joining of the bones.
He also cut free the musculo spiro
which was involved in the fibrous
growth around the ends of the frac
tured bones.
•Sam Derritich, who had his arm
nearly severed while working at the
woodsaw recently, is doing fine un
der the new war treatment.
Howard Wilson, who was operated
no some time ago for removal of a
piece of dead bone from his foot,
is mending rapidly and will be able
to leave the hospital entirely cured
Mike Romes, through whose foot
j a pick was accidentally driven and
| who was under treatment for the in
jury, left the hospital yesterday
; thoroughly cured and none the worse
for the accident. '*•>- -
COMMISSIONER MOVES
INTO NEW OFFICE
United States Commissioner R. S.
McDonald moved his office this
morning from the old building next
to the marshal’s office to the new
building recently constructed next to
the postoffice.
The commissioner, who is also
postmaster, has had his office con
nected with the postoffice by a door
so that he will be able to attend
to postoffice matters without leav
ing the commissioner’s office.

SHOE IMPORTANT
EQUIPMENT UNIT
OF ALLIED ARMY
—
Behind the British Lines in France
•—There are few things in the per
sonal equipment of a soldier more
important than his shoe. As soon
as a man becomes accustomed to
marching long distances, only one
thing limits his endurance, and that
is bad feet. The condition of his
feet depends almost entirely on his
boots.
In France, the soldier meets the
hardest test of all for his feet when
he makes the acquaintance of the
cobblestone roads, and it is here
that the value of comfortable shoes
of the heaviest type and in good
condition, is realized most keenly.
The veterans and non-commissioned
officers say that chafing is almost
always the fault of a man's socks,
which should be changed as often
as possible, and occasionally sprink
led with foot-powder, which is found
in every British private's knapsack
In wet weather, old soldiers say,
a man should always have a dry
pair of socks in his pack.
After a few weeks, recruits begin
to know their own feet better, to
understand their peculiarities and
susceptibilities, so they can guard
against their weakness. If there is
anything radically wrong with a
man’s boots, he has plenty of oppor
tunity to complain, either at the
frequent kit inspecions or at the
more frequent foot inspections.
COAL OPERATORS
COMBING NATION
PHILADELPHIA.—As coal ex
perts predict that anthracite coal
is going to be scarce this winter,
all of the inventive genius in the
anthracite industry has been hunt
ing for new sources of supply.
Operators are working abandoned
. mines, installing new devices and
putting in electric power.
The barrier pillar between the
N'ew Boston and Mill Creek collier
ies, containing 500,000 tons of an
thracite, is to be mined. Bancroft
mountain, south of Ashland, is to
be stripped of its surface coal veins
for a stretch of two miles. Fifty
years ago this mine was supposedly
worked out, abandoned and then
flooded with water.
With a dwindling force of 144
000 men in the anthracite mints
and the prospect of this number
being still further depleted by the
draft, the industry is fighting hard
er than ever before, if possible, to
maintain a maximum output close to
275,000 tons of anthracite a day.

BRITISH AIRPLANE
HOPS TO SAFETY
_ i
LONDON.—A trench newspaper
published by one of the British divi
sions in Palestine, gives the follow
ing account of an unusual feat by
a British airplane in the fighting
zone:
“One of our aviators was forced
by engine trouble to land ten miles
inside the Turkish lines. His en
gine was misfiring, but producd
sufficient power for ‘taxi-ing’ and
short hops, but not for flights. Pre-1
sumably the valves of two or three
cylinders had broken or stuck.
“But the pilot did not give up
hope, and succeeded in ‘taxi-ing’ the
whole way to the Brtish lines over
the level sand On the way he
crossed a Turkish encampment, and
his undercarriage brought away a
clothes line and a number of Turk
ish shirts. The pilot was attacked
by several detachments armed with
rifles and machine gu.ns, but they
invariably fled when he charged
on them with his gun. Two or three
German airplanes dived and fired
bursts at him. but luckily hit no
vital part.”
