"RECONSTRUCTION HOSPITALS"I
BUILT FOR WOUNDED
FIGHTERS
Chicago, Feb. 25.- Plans for the
"reconstruction" of soldiers who may
be maimed in European trenches are
now so far advanced that already
America is prepared to care for her
crippled fighters as rapidly as they
may arrive here, according to Major
W. A. Shields, in charge of the medical
supply depot supplying the central
army division. At hospitals, which
are to be erected in every large city
in the United States, the wounded
soldiers will receive not only the best
medical attention, but also .will be
taught trades and professions which
they, may practice in spite of their
changed physical condition.
"Reconstruction hospitals" are so-
called because they are to be places
where soldiers will be literally "re-
built," according to Major Shields.
They will be cared for. throughout
long periods of convalescence, the more
serious wounds will be treated, arti-
ficial limbs will be supplied, and pa-
tients taught the proper use of them.
But the work of reconstruction will
not be only physical, according to
Major Shields.
The soldiers will be made over
mentally as well. The deaf, 'dumb,
and blind will be taught to do work
at which they may earn a livelihood
in spite of their defects.

Detroit, Mich., Feb. 25.-The potato
problem in Michigan this winter is at-
tracting widespread attention. Pri-
vate investigations have been start-
ed to determine why thousands upon
thousands of bushels of tubers have
been allowed to rot in country dis-
tricts, while war prices have been
maintained in Detroit and other Mich-
igan cities.
Information obtained from various
sections of the state indicates that
potatoes which have sold for 45 and
50 cents a peck in Detroit are a drug
on the market in sections less than
200 miles from here. Farmers have
tried to get $1 a bushel for their pro-
duct, and failed. Recently they have
been offered about 90 cents.
Last spring when potatoes were
selling for sky high prices, a tremend-
ous campaign was- prosecuted all over
Michigan for a record yield. Seed
potatoes sold as high as $3 a bushel
and farmers have claimed there was a
tacit understanding that they would
receive $1 a bushel for their pro-
duct.
Vacant lots were planted all over
the state. Hundred' of families raised
their own potatoes and the result was
that millions of bushels of "spuds"
were dug from Michigan soil last fall.
The average crop was 102 bushels an
acre against 45 bushels an acre in 1916.
Reports to the secretary of state. es-
timate that more than forty million
bushels 'of potatoes was Michigan's
yield.

Robert Warwick, who is now a cap-

pear at the Arcade today and tomor-
row in "The Silent Master." Mr.
Warwick appeared successfully in
"The Argyle Case," and his new play
is a worthy successor to that feature.
This play is taken from Phillips Op-
penheim's popular novel, "The Court
Hof St. Simon."- It has to do with a
man of wealth in Paris who, in league
with the Apaches, holds a 'mysterious
court of St. Simon, in which wrong-
doers who can be reached by the other
processes of the law, are punished.
Olive Tell and Anna Little play im-
portant roles.
