OPERATES WITH RAZOR American Red Cross Nurse Equal to Emergency. Performs Lifc-or-Death Amputation With Improvised Instruments and Succeeds. Drama, Macedonia—With a razor, a spool of cotton thread and a small portion of ether an¢ chloroform Miss Maria P. Kouroyen, an American Red a ‘se, performed a life-or-death operation here as the result of which and her other @ nds of mercy she has come to be known as “the Amer- ican angel” by the homeless and starv- ing Greek refugees. Born of Greek parents, Miss Kou- royen ig a graduate nurse of the Mas- sachusetts General hospital in Boston. Because of her knowledge of Greek the American Red Cross sent her to Macedonia, where typhus, smallpox and cholera tread on each other's heels, and where the refugees bury their dead beneath the dirt floors of their shell-shattered shacks so that the bread cards of the dead member of their family shall not be taken up. A Greek soldier, one of whose legs had been crushed, was brought to the box car on a railroad siding in which Miss Kouroyen was living. Something had to be done for him at once. Miss Kouroyen spent no time in talking. Borrowing a razor from Lieut. Abner J. Cobb of Denver, Colo., an American Red Cross field worker, who was shay- ing by candle light in the box car, Miss Kouroyen anesthetized her pa- tient with her small supply of ether and chloroform, and performed an am- pation, using cotton thread to “tie off” the arteries and veins. Despite the-prophecy of a local doc- tor that the aged patient would not live through the night Miss Kouroyen some time later received a visit from her patient. He had an American artificial limb made for Rim in the American Red Cross artificial leg fac- tory for Greek war mutiles in Athens, YOUNG AERO ENTHUSIAST Civilians were recently allowed ‘to go up in airplanes at the British flying field at Hendon, England.

HORSE HOLDS PLACE IN ROME SQUIRREL FOOD “To STOP OTTo AUTO, HAVE HIM COME To A DITCH AND NoT USE ANY WINGS OR JUMPING DEVICES To GET OVER” BIG. DANCE WILL BE HELD TONIGHT AT FORT LINCOLN Whistling Eddie and Nonparti- san League Responsible for Error Whistling Eddie said the other day that nobody could never -get un- der his hide, but we must confess that E. G. got under our hide yesterday so that we committed an inexcusable blunder. It was like this. The reporter from The Tribune had been summarily, requested to remove his presence from the deliberations of the county com- missioners and he remained so excited over the tone and threats implied by Eddie and his friends on the board that his mind was in a turmoil. So when it came to time to let our good readers know about the dance given at Fort Lincoln TONIGHT for the benefit of the soldiers’ memorial flagpole fund, it was incorrectly stat- ed that the dance was to be held last night. So pardon us and blame Whistling Eddie and the Nonpartisan league. The dance will be held tonight, and judging from the interest shown in yesterday’s error, there is going to be one of the best turn-outs ever seen in this city for an event of this character. The dance will be held in one of the company barracks at Fort Lincoln, and the floor has been especially pre- pared for this evening’s entertain- ment. At least 500 people can dance at one time, it is said, and some of the novel stunts that will be performed will be moonlight waltzes, the drouth one step, the grasshopper shimmy and others. Serpentine and confetti will vie with the real jazz orchestra in keeping the dancers in the best of humor. As they say in the smaller towns like Fargo and the Forks, a good tim is promised all. And don’t forget that the proceeds will be used to fill up that lagging flagpole fund. OPEN TONIGHT. Manager Eauer of the Orpheum the- atre wishes to announce to his many patrons that the popular Main strest photoplay theatre will open tonight for the coming season. Nothing has been overlooked in securing only the best ofd attractions on the market. The many followers’ of the famous Jap star Sessue Hayakawa will be more than pleased with his wonderful work in “Bonds of Honor” which will be the opening attraction. From all re- ports this is one of his very best piio- toplays. Viola Dana comes tomorrow to be followed by Taylor Holmes Mon- day night. There will be a complete change of program daily. Good come- dies as well as weekly scenic picture will complete each program. Starting with next Monday a matinee will be given daily at 3 o’clock. The regu- lar Saturday matinee will be given to- morrow. Orpheum Theatre re-opens for season tonight with Sessu Ha- yakawa ‘in “Bonds of Honor.” Thousands Drawing Cabs—Not a Sin- gle Taxicab in Italian Capital. Rome.—The horse here has not va- cated his position to make room for the futomobile. There are still thousands of horse-drawn cabs operating in Rome While there is not a single taxicab. Two reasons are given for this equine superiority. First, there are 3,000 cab drivers in Rome, according to the mu- nicipal statistics. These exercise a con- siderable influence in the municipal elections of Rome, and as a conse- quence no motor vehicle concessions ‘are granted. Besides, the supply of gasoline in Ttaly is not Jarge and to insure enough for the military needs it was found absolutely necessary to discourage as much private motor vehicular traffic as possible, NN NNN NN NY @ Fire Horse Refuses to Be Left Behind g Philadelphia—Burglar, an ex- tra horse of Truck Company No. 13, was left behind in the firehouse on Baltimore avenue when firemen responded to a fire fifteen blocks away. Burglar, a big, beautiful bay, pushed his out of an in- securely locked stall and with Sek SAAR TEESE instinct traditional of fire horses galloped unbridled through the streets until he spied the fire. He whinnied with joy as he came up to the @} } engine which was industriously pumping. NES SS So Sen eee ee en eee ExUUUEaUIUBananns Banana Facts. Bananas should not be put into a re- frigerator.

Children’s Hospital at Blois and Die pensary to Be Maintained Permanently. T, Paris—A children’s hospital and dispensary at Blois, France, which-was established during the war ,by the American Women’s hospitals, will be maintained as a permanent memorial of the work of American women doc- tors as a result of a gift of $25,000 to the French trustees of the institution. The money comes out of the 1918 cam-. paign fund of the American Women’s hospitals, according to an announce- ment made by Dr. Mary M. Crawford, chairman of the committee which 1s now raising $250,000 throughout the country to carry on the women physi- cians’ work in France and the near east, The hospital at Blois is under the direction of Dr. Annie Veech of Louts- ville, Ky., according to a letter re- ceived at the headquarters of the American Women’s hospitals, 637 Mad- ison avenue, from Dr. M. Loutse Hur- rell, head physician of unit 1, Many of the patients at the Blois dispensary ave refugee orphans. The authorities of the town of Blois, which is the capital of the Loire-ct-Chair re- gion, and which saw much suffering during the four years of war; have ar- ranged, according to Doctor Hurrell, | to erect a bronze tablet commemorat- ing the work of the American doctors.

SCALE H i | i } i | | Completion of Chart Solving Old Problem — Special Inter. est in Map. Washington.—The United States coast and geodetic survey recently an- {nounced the completion of a new out: | line map of the United States on the |Termbert conformeél conic projection, | scale 1-5,900,600, | This map is intended mercly as a base to which may be added any kind of special information desired. The shore line is compiled from the most recent coast and geodetic survey charts. State names and boundaries, principal, rivers, capitals, and the larger cities in the differnt states are | aso embodied. 4 The map is of special interest from } the fact that it is based om the same system of projection as that empwyed by the armies of the allied forces in the military operations in France. To meet those requirements and at the | request of the army, special publica- tions were prepared by the coast geo- detic survey. Many methods of projection have heen designed to solve the difficult problem of representing a spherical surface on a plane. As different pro- Jections have unquestionable merit as well as equally serious defects, the announcement states, any region to be mapped should be made the subject of special study and that system of pro- Jection adopted which will give the best results for the area under consid- eration, Value of New Map. The Mercator projection, almost unl- versally used for nautical charts, is re- spopsible for many false impressions | of the relative size of the countries dif- fering in Jatitude, according to the sur- vey statement. The polyconic pro- jection, widely used and well adapt- ed for both topographic and hydro- graphic surveys, when used for the whole of the United States in one map has the serious defect of unduly exag- gerating the areas on its eastern and western Hmits. - Along the Pacific coast and in Maine the error in scale is as much as 6% per cent, while at New York it reaches 4% per cent. The value of the new outline map on the Lambert projection can best be realized-when it is stated that it shows that throughout the largest and most important part of the United States, that Is, between latitudes 30% degrees and 49 degrees, the maximum scale error is only one-half of 1 per cent. This amount of scale error of one-half of 1 per cent {is frequently less than the distortion due to the method of printing and to changes from the hu- }midity of the alr. Only in southern- |most Florida and Texas does this pro- jection attain its:maximum error of 21-3’ per cent. The. Lambert projection is well adapted to large areas of .predominat- ing east and west dimensions in the United States where the distance across from east to west Is 14.5 times that of the distance north and south. The strength of the polyconic projec- tion, on the other hand, is along its central meridian.” The merits and: de- fects of the ‘two ‘systems’ of, projec Coast and Geodetic Survey. ‘Announces ht jacross country is some drive for a girl. la | ORDER IS, No WINGS OR JUMPING DEVICES GUESS We CAN FILL pea KINGSTON, N.

Special Features, Special features of the rimbert pro- Jection that are not found in the poly- conic may be stated briefly as fol- lows: 1. The Lambert projection is con- formal—that is, all angles between in- tersecting lines or curves are pre- served, and for any given point (or re- stricted locality) the ratio of the length of a linear element on the earth’s surface to the length of the cor- responding map elements is constant for all aximuths of directions in which’ the elements may be taken. 2, The meridians are stralght lines,’ and thé’ parallels are concentric cir- cles. ; “3. It has two axes of strength in- stead of one, the standard parallels of. the map of the United States being lat-, itudes 33 degrees and 45 degrees, and upon these parallels the scale is abso- lutely free. ‘The scale for any other part of the map, or for any parallel, can ‘be obtained from special publica: tion No. 52, page 36, United States coast and geodetic survey. By means of these t@les the very smali scale errors which exist in this pro jection can be entirely eliminated. The map measures 25 inches by 39 inches and will be sold by the govern- ment at 25 cents. es Fortune in Dead Man’s Bed. Colfax, Wash.—Upon request of eastern relatives of Fred Fisher, an old man who was found dead in his. shack in Colfax recently, the place was visited with a view to disposing of his few household belongings. In taking the blankets from his bed an old to- baéco bag was found which contained deposit slips for $1,500 and $155 in eash. Both slips were on a bank in Delta county, one being for, $1,000. and the other for $500, aud bearing date of Muay 6,.1908, Tribune Want Ads Bring Results. ~ STATE BOARD EXPECTS AT ORESCRIPTION- Here he is, the guest of the’ SUPERIOR DOCK HANDS TIE UP ORE SHIPPING Duluth, Minn., ‘Aug. 1.—Dock. hands at Ashland, Escanaba, and it is said other lake ports,’not including New Dluth and ‘Superior, went on strike this noon, tieing up ore shipping. ‘Six- teen ore trains cancelled at Ashland, Wisconsin, reported all trains en route :to Two Harbors, Minn., held up.

MANY EQUALIZATIONS The state board of equalization expects to receive thousands of in- dividual claims when it convenes in its annual session August 6. As amended by the last assembly, the Jaws covering equalization :provide that claims may be carried over the head of the county ‘boards of equal- izers direct to the state board. Un- cer the new classifications and the increased valuations there is much confusion and dissatisfaction. State Auditor Kositzky advises taxpayers that if they have a complain to make they may under the amended statutes lay them directly ‘before the state board, without paying any attention to the;local board. ‘Mr. Kositzky an- ticipates that thousands will avail themselves of this privilege. ag ‘EM, EW RUDD? - HEH- HEH: f BASEBALL | NATIONAL LEAGUE.
