In Lucerne, no srand opera was given, but a few amateur performances were staged during the winter and the proceeds given to the Hcd Cross.

But it was on the homeward bound trip that Miss Bonnell leceived impressions and saw bights, which arc mosi interesting to her now.

Jaws From Ribs. That the medical men in Paris are trying to make jaws from ribs and cover them with skin to graft on the many soldiers whose jaws are shot-away, is an interesting piece of inside information which Miss Bonnell heard on ship board. Her informant was Mrs. Potter, whose husband isa professor In Har- and is doing dental work in a Paris hospital. The experiment has not been worked out yet, but it is believed that artificial jaws will soon join the list of medical wonders.

In telling of this hospital story, Miss Bonnell was reminded of a case or which she had intimate knowledge through a friend in Switzerland. The French and German soldiers arc feoth filled with the greatest eagerness to go to the front and often struggle against going to the hospital. One German soldier (who had a friend who was a friend of Miss Bonnell's), had his foot badly shot in battle and was sent to the hospital. "How long will I be here?" he groaned to the doctors. He was told that it would take three weeks to heal the wound.

"Can't you do something so I can get back right off?" lie pleaded. The doctors told him that if his foot was amputated he could back in Photo by Hauck.

On board ship with Miss Bonnell her return trip were about fifteen Mexican men with their wives and a retinue of servants. They were constituents of Huerta returning to New York to join their leader.

They were very nice looking diplomatic men and held themselves aloof from the other passengers, said Miss Bonnell. The notorious Mandragon and Blanquet were among them. An American on board was also from Mexico and part owner of a big electric lighting plant. This plant, which gives yearly proceeds of $5,000, has been forcibly taken over by the Mexicans who are running the plant and using the profits. The American owners dare not return.
