Aug. 3. Preparations are being made here and in New York city to graft a new cornea in the right eye of 17- year-old William Kabanek, Binghamton Central high school student. The unusual operation will be performed by Dr. Ramon Castroviejo, of Columbia Medical Center in New York, sometime in the fall.

Meantime, the youth is undergoing preliminary treatment at his home pending the transplantation. Dr. Castrovlejo is one of the foremost surgeons in this country in this kind of work. Kabanek suffers from leukoma, or opacity of the eye transparent coating which shields the iris and the pupil. Leukoma occurs when the cornea is struck by a blow or injured by hot metal or acid.

A scarred cornea will admit light but is no longer transparent and cuts off vision from the rest of the eye. Dr. Castroviejo plans to remove the damaged cornea from the boy's eye and graft in its place a cornea from another person, or possibly from an animal. The operation simply "grafts a new window" in the damaged eye. Kabanek has been blind in the right eye since August, 1934, when a whitewash sprayer exploded and threw a lime solution in his face.

Although he has lost a year's schooling, he is confident the operation will restore his full sight so that he can make up lost work. Dr. Castroviejo attracted worldwide attention several years ago when he grafted the cornea of a stillborn child upon the opaque eye of an adult. A noted Russian surgeon, Prof. V.

P. Filatov, of Odessa, also has successfully performed the corneal graft. ACKLEY, TO HAVE FESTIVAL Ackley, Aug. annual Sauerkraut festival will be held Aug. 11 and 12, with the customary free serving of sauerkraut and wieners to all comers and a program of entertainment thrown in for good measure.

The committee that had charge ui the first festival here sent invitations to Kaiser Wilhelm, of Germany, the king of England, the of the United States and to governors of all the states. Though of the notables were able to attend.

all sent acknowledgements of the invitation. FIRST LADY OF THE AIR COMING WITH R1NGLING CIRCUS BOOKS OUT TWENTY YEARS Syracuse, N. unlisted books were found on the shelves of a branch library here.

Antoinette is a featured acrialist with the Great Ringllng Bros, and Barnum Bailey combined circus, which exhibits here August 16. The band stops playing. An audience of 16,000 persons sits still as a slender girl, high in the dome of big top, swings herself to a bar 50 feet above the ground. Trapeze hand she stands alert, at the ready, timing the swings of her catcher, hanging head downward from a trapeze far across the great tent.

Suddenly, the girl swoops in a giant arc to the far stretches of the canves. Back she up, again scraping the canvas. Then a swift swoop, and off the bar into the air, whirling, and a half complete somersaults to a catch. That's Antoinette Concello, first- lady of the air, in her famed feat, with the Flying Concellos of the Ringling Barnum Bailey Combined circus, coming to Freeport on Monday, Aug. 16, "Tony" is a star, a radiant star, and she is everywhere acknowledged to be the finest girl flyer that ever lived.
