END THEFTS AT AMERICAN PORTS U. S. Department of Commerce Plans to Open Pilfering Prevention Bureaus. Washington. ? The Popart ment of Commerce plans t?> suppress pilfering ui American ports. Theft-prevention bureaus will be oy u till sited at New, York, Sun Francises and other Impor taut places. In making this a umuncenieiit . the department explains! that the losses from theft const l tut** a heavy tax on our export trade. i The transportation division of the bureau of foreign 4unl domestic ^cxmi merce (luring the last six months has | been inaklng a special study . of the best method of export packing, a sub ject which for soino^oars has been * mutter of Increasing concern to tine exporters of the country and to the I bureau. Thin Investigation has been conducted ut the request of the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries. Mnny large Industrial centers In the United States have been visited In or der to get at first hand modern Ideas on packing and pilfering prevention. While proper packing will, do much to prevent theft and pilferage, it does not . entirely solve the problem. Skilled i thieves, well organized, are able to | remove goods from packing cases with? ! out leaving any trace of the robbery, and tho loss is not discovered until the case Is opened on its arrival at destination. | Separate Investigations. . In following up these losses the ma I rine tftsurance companies, the steam* ! ship owners and th,e mil carriers carry ' on their separate Investigations. In j other words, there has been little co ; ordination of effort, each Interested | element making its own fight against ! the evil. | It is for this reason that the trans* portatlon division suggested the estab j llshment of a central bureau of lnfor 1 matlon at each of the principal ports ! so that there might be an exchange of Information which would simplify the work of the investigators and strengthen their efforts so that a united, collaborative effort could be made to check this spreading menace. This Idea met with the utmost ap proval of the various interests in volved and at a recent meeting in New York, the transportation division was asked to assist In the formation of such n bureau for that port to be sup ported by the marine underwriters, the steamship companies, the railway lines, and the shippers' organizations, all of which would be benefited by Its activi ties. A committee was formed on June 28 at the customs house in New York to devise ways and means for estab lishing such a bureau, and 'its organi zation is assured at an early date. . It is expected that similar organiza tions will be formed at each of the large ports so that before long the pilferers will be convinced that it will be poor policy to tamper with Inter state and foreign shipments. Klein Explain*. Director Klein of the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce ex plained : "Perhaps one of the main reasons why this evil has grown Is the fact that It has been difficult to obtain con-, victions In the local courts. Even when a trained invest^ator discovers the stolen goods in the possession of a 'fence* or catches an employee in the act of stealing, there Is great difficulty in absolutely identifying' the merchan dise, and without such identification, conviction is impossible. , The Carlln act, which seeks to provide penalties for the pilferage of goods moving in interstate commerce, provides penal ties only for the stealing of baggage from a public truck or van, neither freight nor express matter being spe cifically provided for. "It Is evident that the federal leg islation on the subject should be amended If the full usefulness of such a central bureau of Information is to be attained. "It Is understood that an effort will be made to secure amendments to the Carlln act bo as to provide specific penalties for stealing from Interstate .shipments loaded on trucks or stored in warehouses with the hope that Jftis will have a marked effect In reducing pilferage losses." Draw Diseased Blood, Reinject Purified Fluid New Haven, Conn. ? Two unusual operations for transfusion of blood, have been carried through successfully at the New Haven General hospital, now a part of the medical school of Tale university. In each Instance the person's blood was, drawn off and In jected back Into the system. The first case wns tbat of a woman who had a hemorrhage In the abdomen. The surgeons drew off the blood from the abdomen, tied the vessels, and af ter filtering the blood, transfused it back into l?er system. * Later, a man was admitted with hemorrhage of the liver. The abdomen was filled with blood. The staff treated the liver. Altered the blood drawn off and Injected It through the arm. . Both patients are regarded as con valescents. ' A week ago, lifter a negro lad had been srabhed tinder the hearr. the sur geons opened the heart cavity. washed the organ and mended a cilt. drew the blood from the caVity and sewed up the wound.

Paderewskl Easily Disturbed. Paderewskl will not permit anybody to sit behind him. At some of his concerts hundreds of seats could have jt lyen added on the stage. Moreover, In every Paderewskl recital . no senta are sold in thut part of the orchestra proper which is directly behind him. The piano is set at a forty-five degree angle, which means that in the ex treme left corner of the orchestra, looking toward the stage, a number of seats are directly facing I'aderewskl's back. Those seats are empty for Paderewskl. "If they are behind me, I think they are pushing my elbows." he says. One night he complained: "Will you go down to that woman In the seventh row at the right?
