Repairing Broken Bones

That the old fashioned splint treatment
 is far from satisfactory in restoring the proper shape and functions of a limb, particularly in cases of considerable dis- placement of broken bones, is generally admitted by the medical profession, says Tit-Bts. And it is a fact that there are many people today going through lire cripped simply because fractured bone has been badly set
 This danger, however, has now-been con siderably minimized by a system whlcn has been perfected by a member or the Royal College of Surgeons, which enables bad fracture to be mended. by means of screws passed through the bones, With plates or nuts at the ends holding the screws in position.
 One of the great objections to the splint method has always been that the treat ment has been so slow. It necesstates the patient being kept in bed or inactive for the longest possible time in order that the bones and tendons may natural ly heal together It Is pointed out that perhaps half an hour is given to liking a broken arm in a spint or leg in plaster. and then othing more can pc uone Tor a month or two, except for the patient to enjoy his convalescence and the surgeon to come and look at the bandage and have chat about the weather from time to time.
 It is claimed, however, that if bolts and screws are used in the treatment of broken bones the fractured parts are held together so tightly that the healing pro- cess takes but a short time. Further more there is less danger of displacement through careless movement on the part of the patient, as when an ordinary spl1nt is used,
 The method adopted Is quite simple After the broken bone has been held

By HOLLAND

New York. July 1S.-(Specia1)-W nile the managers of many of the large indus trial corporations think 1t inexpedent to report for publication what their business for the first half of the present calendar year was, measured in dollars, and com pared with a like period in the previous year as we'll as in 1912. nevertheless some of them do tell in confidence what their recent experiences have been. For in stance, one of the largest of American industrial corporations caused compari- son to be made on July of the business done in the first six months of 1912, and then again the business of a like period of last year and also the business done in the six months which have just ended Their sales in a period of normal busi- ness activity approximate about 5000, GOO for six months. The total business done in the first six months of 1912 was little under s3,000,00O The total business done last year in the same period was a little over s1,S00,000 Their business for the first six months of the present year was in round numbers, s9oO,00O Of course, these managers look with apprehension upon report of this kind. falling off such as these figures show cannot be met much longer without compelling the managers of the industry to consider the expediency of liquidating or possibly of greatly re- oucing their capital.
 But perhaps the most interesting fea- ture of this report-a report which in its

 weeks before election day. the market
 price of American wheat approached the dollar mark, although earlier 1t had been
 much less than this. This occurred simul- taneously with the continued fall in the
 price of silver and thereby an object lesson which taught them that the con- stant depreciation of silver was not the cause of the low prices they were re- ceiving for their wheat. The wheat fields
 of continental Europe yielded very small harvests and when the grain factors of
 Liverpool and London learned authori- tatively how small these harvests had been they began to make such impera- tive demands for American wheat as in- evitably greatly to increase the price. There came few weeks ago from some parts of the west intimations that some apprehension prevailed in the agricultural districts lest the enormous harvest of wheat should cause considerable depre- ciation in price. The Washington au- thorities are in agreement with the ex-
 perts of this city who are persuaded that
 the unsatisfactory wheat harvest in other
 parts of the world will make 1t certain
 that American wheat will command sat- isfactory prices.
 There come intimatons from other parts
 of the country that in some of the south
 ern states there are to be harvested enormous crops of Indian corn. The de- velopment of the Indian corn agriculture in some of the southern states has been one of the striking features of Ameri- can agriculture of the past 10 years. After all, 1t Is the corn crop and the products which a great corn harvest make pos sible, such as meat, upon which the coun- try must place it's chief reliance for great increase in the exportation of food prod ucts There comes from Washington an unusual statement intimatng that in some parts of the west. account of the scarcity of corn and the fact that wheat is being harvested plentifully the farm CTS are feeding wheat to their live stock and the Washington authorities estimate that possibly much as 75,0o0o00 bush els of wheat will be utilized in this way That is a new thing to report
