Professor Doctor Witzel, of Dusseldorf, advocates compulsory military service for German girls. An army of nurses should, in his opinion, follow each army of male combatants, not only to care for the wounded, but to attend to everything connected with food and clothing. Every healthy German girl, says the professor, should look on training for this object as a patriotic duty, and the knowledge acquired will be useful in the home if it is not utilized in the battlefield. Prisoner Blows Up Police Auto. Exploding with a match the fumes of gasoline rising from an open tank, a prisoner on the way to jail blew up an automobile patrol in the downtown section of Los Angeles, Cal., recently. The vehicle was destroyed, and one prisoner was fatally burned and two others, with Patrolman Louis Canto, seriously injured. Canto, with his clothing aflame, started in pursuit of the man who started the fire, and another prisoner, who, unhurt, were speeding down the street, but was stopped by onlookers, who stripped the flaming clothing from his body while the fugitives escaped. The patrol was being driven back to central station, after a round-up of prisoners, and gasoline fumes were released when the fuel tank was opened for refilling. Three Killed in Clan Fight. Two families living near each other at Moschino, Italy, named Dalia and Fortino, after years of litigation over a patch of ground, decided to settle the trouble with revolvers in the market place. The townspeople, on hearing of this, fled, but not before a woman had been shot dead. The revolver battle lasted some time, and eventually two of the Dalias were killed and two of the Fortinos are dying. The police arrested the other relatives. Graft Sister’s Skin on Burned Boy. The surgeons at Bellevue Hospital, New York, had had four-year-old Winfred Schulhoff under their care ever since he was burned on August 23 in a bonfire in the back yard of his home at 1,085 Washington Avenue, the Bronx, and had come to the conclusion that only skin grafted from the body of some healthy person would save the little boy, when they were startled by his twelve-year-old sister, Alice, walking into the hospital and volunteering as much of her skin as they wanted. Five square inches were grafted from her back to his unhealed thighs. At the end of the operation, Doctor Cramp, assistant visiting surgeon, pronounced it successful, and predicted that the children would be able to go home in a few days.
