OVER 2M INCHES OF SKIN GRAFTED. A Chicago Boy's Father cad Mother Olre Up Catide to Patch Him Up. Chicago (Special).—After five months of wonderful surgery and skin grafting Marion Weaver, the five-year-old son of a Chicago preacher, has emerged from the hospital with a new coat of skin. More than 219 square inches have been grafted upon his abdomen, back and sides. His father and four brothers gave up long strips of cuticle to save the lad. who was frightfully burned while playing with matches. Surgeons say this is the most wonderful case of slrin grafting on record. The greatest cUfficulty was experienced in getting the new skin to grow upon the moving diaphragm, and more than 16c square incites were wasted in the

effort.
