Use of "canned blood," one of the re markable developments of war sur gery, was described today by the surgeon general' office lor the ben efit of the families of hundreds of soldiers, whose lives were saved by blood transfusion. During a heavy attack it was im possible to arrange for transfusions direct from persons, so the fluid was drawn previously, stored on ice in sterile flasks, then used in emergency cases. Where the wound ed man -could stand it, a blood sub stitute was injected which sustained life until he could be removed to a hospital where more direct trans fusion could be employed. "By these methods many men were returned to the families, who, in previous wars, would have lived but a few hours," the department's statement asserted.

Despite the constantly increasing number of dis charged soldiers seeking employ ment, positions of the "better class," paying from $5,000 to $10,000 a year, are "going begging," according to J. O. Winslow, director of the professional and special section of the United States employment service. This condition, Mr. Winslow said, is especially acute in the export field which, although flooded with appli cations from voting men who desire to learn the business, is tptally un able to fill positions calling for ex ecutive ability and expert training. Accountants, expert engineers and banking executives are in,, similar great demand, he added, while the coffee and sugar import business and the advertising field offer equally at tractivevopportunities for the "right men."

Four passenger trains, caught in the midwest in the fierce blizzard Thursday, were delayed from two to four days in deep snowdrifts in the storm zone. Food for the passengers was rush ed to the trains on special cars and snowshoes from nearby towns. After spending three days iri snow covered coaches two and one-half miles north of Hoskins, Neb., on the Norfolk branch of the Minneapolis and Omaha line, nearly 50 passen gers emerged from a 16-foot drift at 5:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The train proceeded to Sioux City, and carried many Omaha people. When the railroad officials heard of the delay of the passenger train in the blizzard since Thursday after noon, they sent a special string of coaches filled with food to the suf fering passengers. . Firemen on the train shoveled snowinto the boilers to keep up steam, and the engineer sent word to Hoskins for fuel. A rescue train left Norfolk at 2 a. m. Friday, fol lowing a snow plow, but was stalled in 12-foot drifts two miles west of the delayed passenger train. Another rescue train, sent out from Sioux City, was stalled four miles east of the snow-covered coaches. Rescue Train at Phillips. Passengers on a local train on the Aurora branch of the Burlington, stalled for three days in a snow drift near Phillips, Neb., were relieved at 6 o'clock last night, when rotary snow plows cut an opening. The train reached Grand Island last nieht. Traffic on the main line of the Burlington between Lincoln and Den ver was still badly demoralized last night. Trains are stalled along the line, the worst condition 4eing be tween Hastings and the town of Juniata. Conditions on the Billings, Mont., line were somewhat improved, but all trains are hours late. No at tempt is being made to move freights. Red Cross Aids Snowbound. Denver, Colo., Feb. 15. Passen gers on Union Pacific train No. 119, which arrived in Denver this after noon 48 hours late, after spending two days behind a snow bank at Russell, Kan., brought with them a tribute to the Russell chapter of the American Red Cross, which, for two days, brought them food and com forts. The Kansas women did every thing possible, the passenger said, for their comfort during the time they were forced to wait for work men to clear the tracks. The Union Pacific Kansas City train was the first to arrive in Den ver from the 'east since Wednesday night, when the storm began, which tied up rail and wire transportation throughout Kansas and Nebraska. Conditions were rapidly nearing nor mal today, Kansas and Nebraska railroad lines being cleared and the varices wire services restoring traf fic conditions rapidly. The Western Union Telegraph company's wires were nearly normal tonight and the Postal Telegraph company had gotten through Ne braska. Telephone wires were oper ating today and it was believed that by Monday morning both rail and wire traffic conditions would be fully restored. Storm Bound in Kansas. Salina, Kan., Feb. IS. Passengers on a Union Pacific train, which was caught in the storm Wednesday west of Salina, had nothing tp eat but eggs taken from an express car and went without sleep for more than 48 hours, according to stories of passengers who arrived here to day. L. F. Dennis of Salina told how the men on the train, including a wounded soldir, wrapped clothes about their heads and after tying themselves together plowed and crawled through snowdrifts over their heads, to the nearest town for food. . Mr. Dennis declared the coach was rocked by the gale until those within feared it would-be blown fiorn the raits. He sa:d the snow finally buried the coaches. Drifts 30 feet deep, he said, are no longer a marvel in the storm-swept area. This nain was the fi-st on the Union Pacific line which has reached here since Wednesday. Two snow plows yreceded it into Salina. The location of a!l other Union Pa cific trains, officials stated, were un known, but constant efforts are be ng made to locate them.

Special to West Plains, Mo., Feb. 15. Mrs. Carrie Hofland, a Ne braska woman, who confessed to the killing of Mrs. Pearl Welton, wife of Frank Welton, on the Welton farm near Mountain View by choking her to death, is now taking a keen interest in preparations for trial at the May term of the Shannon county circuit court at Eminence. When she confessed the murder, she expressed a desire to plead guilty at once, but since her removal to the Howell county jail at West Plains she, has gone over the circumstance of the killing with her attorneys with a view of making a de termined effort at justification when she is placed on trial. No hint has been given as to the nature of the defense the woman will make. A friend of Mrs. Hofland residing in Newland county, Nev., where the prisoner formerly lived, sent her this telegram a few days ago: "How on earth did you come to do it? You were always so soft hearted. Why, you couldn't even kill a chicken." Met at Sioux City. Mrs. Hofland is a Norwegian. In 1905 she lived at Sioux City, la., where she met Frank Welton. a rail road man. She says they entered into a. common law marriage and lived together for 12 years as man and wife. He had homesteaded a ranch near O'Neill, Neb., where they moved in 1906. From that time until he left her in the spring of 1917, the couple lived as man and wife. Mrs. Hofland's daughter, now 7, lived with the couple all this time and thought Welton to be her step father. Mrs. Hofland says an estate of $5,000 inherited from her mother STATE EMBARKS Oil POLICY TO CHUB New Laws Proposed- Would Produce Super-Race of Men and Women in Nebraska. By JOHN H. KEARNES, Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 15. Nebraska today has the proud distinction of having the smallest penal popula tion of any state in the union, yet it has embarked on a program of legislation which will open up an absolutely new realm of crime, not crime de facto, but crime de jure, and in anticipation of convictions under the new laws will create two new penal institutions which will have to be filled. According to the latest statistics Nebraska has a population of 1, 200,000 and of this great number only 593 are in penal institutions. To be exact, there are 281 inmates of the penitentiary, 208 in the Kear ney Industrial School for Boys and 104 in the Girls' Industrial school at Geneva. These delinquents were gathered into these institutions by the opera tion of old-fashioned laws against old-fashioned crimes. There are bills ,in the Nebraska legislature which relate to the new realm of crime and which are the couriers of a new penal science with two well-defined branches to which have been given the names of mental hygiene and sex hygiene. Violation of Health Laws. Laws dealing with the two branches are co-relative and are grouped so, that they deal with the physical and mental violation of certain health laws and are to be administered by health boards, wel fare boards and the old-time ma chinery of the courts under theJ police power ot the state. Most of the proposed laws trace to one source, the health department of the federal government, and (Continued on Page Two, Column Five.) What Is Love? First Responses in The No. 3.

When Welton left O'Neill in the spring of 1917 he told Mrs. Welton that he was going to South Missouri and look at some land. They had sold their live stock and other personal property on the ranch. Welton went to Kentucky where he married and then took his wife to the farm in Shannon county, a few miles from Mountain View where she was killed. Welton Wrote Often. During his absence, Mrs. Hof land says, she often heard from Welton, but he never mentioned his marriage , to another woman. She made up her mind to visit Welton and reached Mountain View the day before the murder. Walking out to the Welton home, five miles from Mountain View, she found both Welton and his wifein the field. Welton came to meet her when he saw her coming and begged her to (Continued on Pan: 81s, Column Two.) TAFT APPROVES BASIS LAID FOR RLD LEAGUE Former President Appeals to People of Montana to In sist Upon Ratifica . tion of Treaty. Helena, Mont., Feb. 15. "As lov ers of your country and as lovers of mankind, I ask you to use all your influence with our senators and have the treaties embodying the league of nations idea ratified," declared Wil liam Howard Taft, former president of the United States, here today. Mr. Taft spoke to the crowds at the Union station on his arrival from the east with the party touring the country in the interest of the league of nations. Commenting on the text of the articles agreed to at the peace con ference for a society of nations, former President Taft said; "It is a real league of nations. It is not all that I wished, but comes near. It is a great deal better than I hoped. It contains within its terms provisions for its own growth. Indeed, the exigencies of the Euro pean situation in the sphere of the league will probably require addi tional and more stringent -provisions in some respects than appear in the present plan, but on the whole I am quite gratified over the unanimous agreement on the subject."

They followed Noble to Thirteenth and Dodge streets and kept up the walk to the police station, accompanied by James O Conrad, soldier, Uniontown, Pa.

A marriage license was issued yes terday to Adqlph Palinsky .and Miss Alice Navicky, both of the South Side and well known m Lithuanian circles. The - nuptials will be ob served Wednesday in St. Anthonys Lithuanian Catholic church, Thirty second and S streets. Another marriage license issued a few days ago to Edward Akrom and Miss Alice Navicky will not be used. All of which reveals an unusual case of a suitor of long standing being temporarily outwitted by an interloper who pressed his case with considerable gallantry. Courted Her for Five Years, Mr. Palinsky has been keeping company with Miss Navicky for five years, meanwhile working in one of the packing houses and saving his money .for the time when he would settle down.' He took things for granted, but did not reckon with the factor of the psychology of a wo man's mind. Miss Navicky wanted him to declare his intentions, but. he did not do 'so until something hap pened. The event which caused the awakening of Palinsky was. the an nouncement last week '.that . Miss Navicky was to be married "to Ed ward Akrom, a widower, who had known the young woman for years, but who began to make love to her only a few weeks ago. Akrom was such a Lochinvar that he took Miss Navicky completely off her feet. License Obtained. The license for- the Akrom-Na-vicky marriage was obtained and the time had been set for last Thiirs ray, the 13th. According ttd the Lithuanian custom. Akrom had ar ranged for a wedding feast of fried chicken and other desirable eatables. Guests had been invited and other details arranged, but When Akrom called for his pros pective bride ' he was informed by her and relatives that ' she had changed her mind about marrying him. The reason for her Change of mind was due to the fact that Palin sky, the lover of long standing, had heard of the affair and had dashed wildly to Miss Navicky's home, where,' on bended knees he offered her his hand and heart. She prompt ly accepted Palinsky and. annulled her promise to Akrom. ' ' The two suitors then consulted an happinesSi Love overcomes all obstacles and wins in the end. Love is, wonderful.

Akrom wanted to bring suit for damages, and Palin sky wanted to be kept out of a law suit, The result was that Palinsky satisfied Akrom's monetary de mands with a sum, said to be $1,000 and Akrom wished his rival and Miss Naviclcy much happiness and joy. Akrom claimed the girl by right of conquest, stating that all is fair in love and that he defeated Palin sky on a fair field, but in view of the circumstances he was willing to re turn to his farm and forgive and forget. . Palinsky realizes that his dilatory tactics almost resulted seriously for him. Everybody in the case is now satisfied and Mr. Uvick declared he is glad that he helped the rivals to adjust their affairs out of court. Both suitors insisted that Mr. Uvick should be their counsel.
