Cuts Grecian Nose Out of Soup Bone For Girl Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia Dec. 6. —A nose, which in lines and symmetry, compares fav orably with the natural variety, has been manufactured from a soup bone by surgeons at the Samaritan hospital for a 12-year-old girl. The girl was born without a nose. Her parents refrained from taking her out In public because of the attention her deformity attracted. Surgeons at the Samaritan hospital decided that the girl could have a nose like any other person. Dr. W. W. Babcock carved a nose along Greek lines from a soup bone. An invision was made in the frontal bone of the skull, and the soup-bone nose securely fixed in position. Then the flesh of the face was stretched so that it covered the soup bone. Nos trils were pierced in the flesh, and the child was able to breathe freely through the new nose. In a few days she will be able to leave the hospital.

Consylmttn, manager for Doutrich & Co., presided at to-day's luncheon of the Harrisburg Rotary Club at the Senate Hotel and Flavel S. Wright, his guest, made the principal speech, a delightful talk on "Service," the keynote of Rotary. Mr. Wright Is from the West and the breeziness of the prairies flows through his well-rounded sentences, lie carries the weight of conviction In p.ll he savs and he didn't confine him self to-day to mere compliments, but told the members that they were not fulfilling the law of service merely by giving thirty-six Inches to the yard, two pints to the quart and sixteen ounces to the pound. Service, he said, goes far beyond that—to giving more than getting, to rendering something for the benefit of one's fellows. The man with the vision, he said, is the man who succeeds, and success is best spelled in the meaning of service. Others who spoke were John W Phillips, R. F. Webster. E. J. Hacken berry, R. M. Toomey and H. N. Mur ray. P. G. Diener. the jeweler, gave the members as souvenirs tiny gold Ameri can flags to wear on the coal lapel. A full line of Grafanolas and Colum bia records.

There are a number of per sons who believe each town should have its own organization and that when Questions of Importance to neighboring towns arise a joint meet ing of the organizations In those towns could be called or representatives from each organization could confer. This plan Is said to be meeting with some favor, but there are some persons who oppose this and say that the various towns and communities should be joined by one big organization and that the members who live In a certain town should bp made members of a committee in that town, with power to confer and make reports at the meeting of the association. Persons who favor this plan say that when the report of a committee Is accepted and the re:>ort pertains to some needed improvement in that town, then the entire force of the big organization can be used to bring results. A plan for procedure will be one of the big questions which will be discussed at the first general meeting. Pleased With Agitation Alone: tha entire West Shore there Is practically no opposition to the new organization and persons generally ex press themselves as well pleased with the present agitation for improve ments. Many of them say they have been for improvements for many years past, but that the questions were never sufficiently agitated to result in any definite action which would t*:nd to lead toward the formation of an im provement league or association. They say, too. that more people are inter ested now than ever before and that the time is ripe to work together for the future systematical development DECEMBER 6, 1915. of the lower end of Cumberland county. "West Harrisburg" I>. M. Bricker, a well-known baker and prominent businessman of L>e moyne, favors a united effort along the West Shore to bring about improve ments and the possible annexation of the West Shore territory to Harrls burg. Mr. Bricker declares he Is for improvement all the time and sees many possibilities in the formation of a league or association in each town. "If we had an association in Lemoyne," he said, "we could endeavor to bring industries here and give employment to the persons residing in the town, besides attracting other people here. I would like to see an organization here which at. some time would have enough money in its treasury to erect a factory building and then endeavor to bring a company here to occupy It. In the course of a short time the com pany could buy the building and then that money could be used to erect an other structure. In that way we could get some industries here which would be of big benefit to Mr. Bricker believes also that If an organ ization is effected many public im provements will result. He also talked of the possibility of t.lie West Shore being annexed to Harrisburg and sug gested that p. proper name for the ter ritory would be West Harrisburg in stead of West Shore. Mr. Bricker is opposed to the toll bridges and says that if they could be abolished by some concerted action the West Shore would develop more rapidlv. "If we could be annexed to Harrisburg, then the toll bridge* would be a thing of the past, because we wouldn't have to pay to get from one part of the town to another." Wants Pnrk and Playgrounds Herbert R. Boose, a Wormleysburg councilman and a man engaged in business in that borough. Is hopeful that an lmuroveifient organization for tho West Shore will be developed. Mr. Booses lifts hern one of the town's CASTOR IA Forlnfnntsind ChHdren. Bears th. * ** The Kiri You Have Always Bought hustlers for some time past and his work luis helped greatly in the secur ing of the new town hall and flrehouse, now being constructed. One of the things which Mr. Boose favors is the Improvement of the river hank. "I'm sure," he says, "the bank can b« graded some time in the near future if every person takes an interest in it and works to beautify it. The entire stretch along the river could be planted with shrubbery and trees at very little expense and the borough's front would be greatly improved. I would like to see the plot of ground along the river at the upper end of the borough, now known as Edgewater Park, developed into a real park where persons could gather on hot summer evenings. This plot could be made very attractive with flowers and shrubs and benches could bo put there. Play grounds for the children are also needed in Wormleysburg and If wo could get permission to use one of tho tracts of ground at the upper end of town T believe playgrounds could be established. At present children have no places to play except In the street, but if playgrounds could be opened they would all be at one place and would have something to occupy their minds. Swings, sand boxes, gymnastic apparatus and other things could be placed on the grounds at very little expense and the youngsters would be made happy. I am in favor of tho new organization l'or the West Shore and I would like to see a separate as sociation in Wormleysburg."
