PACKED HOUSE AT KENTUCKY

Amid scenes Of the widest excite
ment, Mas stella Anderson, repre-
sentative OF the Paducah High school
was declared the winner OF the gold
medal In the oratortcal contest be-
tween the High schools OF western
Kentucky held at the Kentucky thea
ter last night. Second honor went
TO Mr.. William Oglesby Soyars. rep
resentatlye OF the Hopkinsyille High
school, after missing first honor by a
few points. People were packed in
the theater, and the contest proved
the most successful OF the three that
have been held.
Scenes like the contest with 80
much school spirit and rivalry. have
never been seen In Paducah before.
Long before the curtain arose the
happy students found the best ex-
preston OF glee In loud yells. waving
pennants and banners, ringing COW
bells. singing songs, firing cap pss-
tolls. Yet the enthusiasm was not
without system. for the supporters OF
each school was grouped and under
the direction Of competent leader.
The balcony was given over exclusive
ly TO the students. and their songs
and tantahzing yells hurled at their
rivals interested the audience al
most a. much as the orators.
The Paducah students we're ou,
en- massr, and owing TO their strength
in numbers. were able to drown out
the yells OF the rivals. but the Mad
isonviile and Hopkinsyille High
schools were represented by large
bands OF students. and owensboO
Pembroke and Princeton each con-
tributed It's share. The INTERVIEWING
OF the different school colors was ef-
fectNe. During the orations the
rooters were quiet and gave each
representative a fair chance.
The theater was decorated prettlly
with the school colors. The blue and
white OF the local school predomi-
mated. The Hopkinsvlle students
gave vent TO their happiness In win
ming the football championship oi
western Kentucky By waving and dis
playing a large silken banner IN the
school colors of black and orango.
The woodland scene was used on
the stage, and II booked unusually
attractive with the simple decorations
OF a plentiful supply Of college pen
nanb. Suspended above the stags
FURNISHED In electric lights were the
letters "P. II. s." The orators were
esated In a semi-circle on the stage
with Miss Lucille Harth. president oi
the Paducah oratorical association
as the mistress of the economies. Mr.
Marvin sllis. secretary OF thc asso-
clation. delivered the opening adj
dress. N which with few wei
chosen words he welcomed the yis
tors.

Hallowe,eners ceIebrate.

Merry-markers were out in force on our
streets Halloween. masked and disguised
so completely as to battle all possibility of
recognition. Numerous of the costumes
were elaborate, displaying no little in
genuity on the part of their creators.
The jewellers held high carnival from
about seven to ten o'clock. visiting stores
and the homes of our citizens, coming and
going in silence. the spirit of good cheer
reigning supreme.
The town bailiff kept close watch on
the mischievous small boy,-and the
larger one as notwithstanding all at
tempts to start something" and as a
consequence the usual misplacing and de-
struction of gates and other movable
private property, which had grown to be
such a nuisance, were prevented.

.Columbla's Court.

Columbia's Court. given in the public
hall on Wednesday evening by members of
the w. c. T. u, drew good house, de-
spite the inclement weather. and proved
an instructive and entertaining affair.
Miss Columbia was impersonated by Miss
Mary S. Haines, who called before her the
different States of the Union to bear testi-
mony to the wave of prohibition that is
sweeping over her domain. The States
were impersonated by members of the W.
c. T. u, dressed in white or black. the
former color representing prohibition and
the latter saloon territory, the representa-
tive of each State or group of States, tell
ing of their fight against the saloon. Mrs.
Jefferson Haines, representing Maryland,
made strong plea in behalf of Cecil
county's local option law, which is to be
voted on next Tuesday.
The exercises were interspersed with
a number of prohibition songs set to the
music of the National airs. The stage

stripes. A small admission fee was

LOCAL OPTION MEETING.
Splendid Address By william II.
Anderson.

The unfavorable weather on Thursday
evening of last week prevented many
from attending the local option meeting
held in the public hall in this town. A
fair sized audience, however, was present
and gave close attention to the address of
VIM. H. Anderson,. Supt. of the Anti
Saloon League of Maryland, which
bristled with facts and unanswerable argu-
ments in behalf of local option.
Thos. ]. Wilson, chairman of the Sixth
District Committee, presided. Prayer
was offered by Rev. J. w. Jones. The
chairman after telling of the work being
carried on in the District by the committee
and urging the importance of getting out
the full temperance vote on Tuesday
next, introduced the speaker, who told of
the purpose of the Anti-Saloon League
and the great work this powerful organ
ization is prosecuting in driving the saloon
out of State after State by compelling
Legislatures to submit the liquor question
to popular vote of the people.
The dry territory is steadily spreading
throughout the country, &C. 700, 600 people
in the United States now residing in terri
tory from which the saloons had been
diven, representing 10 per centof the land
area of our country. Saloons are being
closed at the rate of thirty per day. Pro-
hibition prohibits better than regulation
regulates, declared the speaker, the wet
test dry town being dryer than the drYest
wet town. Until the passage of laws can
be secured that will prevent the shipping
of liquor into prohibition districts, fight
for which is being waged, the law
will not be all that it should be, but in re-
ference to the absurd claim of the license
advocates that more liquor is drunk in a
district under prohibition than under
license, he cited the town of Easton as
refnting this SO Thoroughly as to admit no
contradiction. A careful investigation by
parties in position to obtain data showed
that under prohibition there was shipped
into that town 100 gallons of liquor per
week, entirely too much, to be sure, las
against 45o gallons per week under IL
cense. These are facts, and in the face
of them, what becomes of the ridiculous
assertion of the whiskey advocates that
more liquor is drunk with prohibition
laws in force than under license. Every
county on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
is dry territory, and the temperance people
of Cecil should make every effort in their
power to keep the saloons out by getting
out a full vote on Tuesday next.
The chairman, at the conclusion of Mr..
Anderson's splendid address, reminded
the audience that the greatest danger was
in the fancied security of the local option
law carrying, and the failure to poll the
full vote, thereby permitting the license
advocates. who are working ceaselessly,
to overcome small vote.

attendance and furnished music.

Sprains

By DR.. w. III. BAILEY
of fy1k, K6rnS0 University Medical

sprain before the swelling becomes
too marked, because when it is pres
ent, it is next to impossible to tell
whether or not partial dislocation or
fracture also exists.
Since joint that has been sprained
once is more easily sprained second
time, it should be supported in some
way by brace while any exercise or
work Is being done that will bring
more than the usual strain upon it, as
wearing an ankle brace while running
or jumping. 1t is not advisable to
wear a brace all the time as it acts
as crutch in doing part of the work
of supporting the joint for the liga.
ments, and they are inclined to be.
come weakened if not used. In addi-
ton, there is still more danger of a
sprain being caused if the brace
should me left off at any time.
In treating a sprain we want to
limit the degree of swelling as much
as possible. This will tend to lessen
the pain and the time of disability on
account of the sprain. In slight sprains
the part may be bandaged tightly or
strapped with adhesive plaster (Which
is usually kept at all drug stores and
is handy thing to keep in the house!
hold), and the patient allowed to use
the part the same as before.
Severe sprains should be put at rest
for "a to 36 hours and the part kept
elevated so as to lessen the amount Of
blood to the part. Soaking the part
in cold water while it is gently rubbed
is usually the most effective way OF
reducing the swelling. Sometimes
very hot water is more comfortable
and often acts as efficiently as cold.
The part should then be bandaged
tightly as the pressure in measure
prevents swelling Care must be ex.
ercised here not to get the bandages
too tight. The injured part should be
watched closely so that the swelling
does not make the bandages too tight.
Quite serious harm can be done by
too much pressure being applied.
After the acute pain has subsidized and
the swelling has ceased getting great.
er, usually about the beginning of the
second "a hours, gentle massage and
passive movements working and
moving the joint with the hands,
should be begun and the force used
should be gradually increased. After
a few days the part may be strapped
with adhesive plaster or bandaged and
used little as normally. Although
severe sprains should be put at rest
for day or two, it is not advisable
to put them up in splints or plaster
of paris casts or delay the massage
and movement too long, as there is
danger of a stiff joint resulting.-Will

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Comes

In order TO facilitate our moving
about and performing our various du-
ties, the body has been supplied with
numerous movable joints. These are
primarily of two kinds, hinge joints,
which allow motion only backward
and forward in one place, as at the
knee; and ball and socket joints
which allow motion, to a certain ex-
tent, in all directions, as at the shout
der. The movements of the joints are
accomplished by the action of the
various muscles that stretch across
them and are fastened at a greater or
less distance on each side. Some
muscles run across two or more
Joints, and so in measure assist in
controlling the movement in each Of
them.
The most common injury to joint
is sprain. 1t Is usually caused by a
sudden twist or wrench of one of the
bones that goes to make up the joint.
1T may, however, be produced by slow
over-bending (extension or flexion) of
the joint as when person is trying to
bend backward as far as he can or
take some unusual position.
The degree of the injury done is
variable and depends upon the kind of
sprain, the direction of the force ap-
piled, and what joint is affected. The
effect may be only slight so that the
pain subsidies in a short time, or it
may be that enough damage has been
hnf fcIn oS hA iri,
occurs, a dislocation being merely a
severe sprain that has torn enough
ligaments and structures around the
joint to allow one of the bones to
slip out of its place
Sprains are more frequent In young
and mtddle-aged adults. The most
common locations are at the ankle
and wrist joints.
Severe sprains, if not treated prop
erly, are liable to cause permanent
Limitation of motion (ankylosis) in the
joint, or disability for a long period
OF time. 1t very often happens that
q partial dislocation or a fracture of
the end of one of the bones occurs at
the same time as the sprafa, so that
all severe sprains and minor ones that
do not improve promptly nhould be
seen by a physician
Pain is always produced by a
sprain; it is usually very sevsre, often
causing the patient to faint. Some
times movement of the joint is pos
sible in some direction in which it
was not possible before the accident
At times the whole joint may appear
loose and relaxed. In very short
time swelling takes place and then the
pain which may have been lessened
for a time, returns. Movement Of the
joint now may be greatly Iessened or
prevented altogether. 1t is very de-
sirable that the physician see the
