Kamerona Robberies Again.
Just as the police officlula thought that
they had driven a gang of thieves out of
the city another epidemic of stealing breaks
out. Moat of the robberies reported are
in the northern portion of the city and in
the residence district where a policeman
la acid mn aeen. At night there ia only
one patrolman on Twenty-fourth street and
he haa a beat from A to Q street. This
officer seldom geta oft Twenty-fourth
street, and an burglars have things their
own way. The city has only one detective
and he la kept busy In the buninesa por
tion of the city most of the time. In the
opinion of a great many the thieving la
being done by a local gang and not by
traveling banda. These local thieves know
the habits of the police and can pick out
tha right time to enter a house, well know
ing that they will not be disturbed by
officers of the law. Some citizens have
already made complaint to the police com
missioner and have urged that some steps
be taken to stop the rapidly Increasing
number of house burglarlea.

REMARKABLE SRIN CRAFTING
0er Oaa Tbeuiaad Pieces of Cuticle to
Make New Scalp.
MISS LILLIAN SULLIVAN RICH IN FRIENDS
Vonna; Aonii Strained by Accident
In a Fnetorr Finds Generoaa R e- .
pnnae to an Appeal for
rteeea of Skin.
One of the most successful and Intereat
Ing operations In the annals of local surgery
was performed on Miss Lillian Sullivan of
516 North Nineteenth street at St. Joseph's
hospital during the last eight months, the
operation not yet being nulte complete.
While working In the packing department
of the McCord-Brady company's establish
ment last December 20 the young woman
stepped onto a bench to get some boxes,
when a revolving shaft caught her hair
and removed every vestige' of her capillary
adornment, together with the scalp from
the eyebrows to the back of the neck, In
leas time than it takes to tell It.
Miss Sullivan was removed to the hospital,
where It was at first hoped the shorn scalp
and tresses might, with delicate treatment,
be Induced to adhere. This proving futile,
the next best thing, that of grafting new
skin, was employed with eminent success.
That Miss Sullivan lived through the
ordeal and is now In a fair state of health
In said by the medical fraternity to be
remarkable. That the surgeons have suc
ceeded In starting the growth of a new
scalp by means of grafting 1,000 pieces of
new skin Is said to be still more remarkable.
Friends Responded Generonaly.
When It was , determined that the old
scalp and hair could not be restored to
the head It was further learned that a new
scalp would not grow. Nature, the doctors
say, gives to every man and weman but
one scalp. Then the work of grafting new
skin was begun. Friends of Miss Sullivan
were called on for contributions of cuticle
and numerous were the volunteers who
responded. ., About twelve persons were' en
listed and over 1,000 amall operations were
made on them, each removing a small
section of skin about one-fourth of an Inch
square. It required nine operations to
place the pieces on the young woman's
head, the grafting being begun at the
outer edges until the top of the head was
reached. The friends who gave of their
cuticle to save the woman's life were sub
jected to a "local anaesthetic" 'so that
the pieces could be clipped out with scissors.
Miss Sullivan remained at St. Joseph's
hospital for seven months, and still goes
to that Institution for dressings. Her gen
eral state of health Is Improving rapidly
and the belief Is she will fully recover her
former health. To all appearances her
crowning glory Is the same as It was be
fore the terrible accident. Her former em
ployers have continued her full salary and
have shown her many other courtesies.
