new AID IN
FRACTURES
New York Surgeon
Perfects Device for
Treatment

NEW YORK. Dec. IA New
York surgeon has recently perfected
an apparatus designed TO treat frac-
lures TO the lower limbs as soon a.
possible after they nave occurred.
The apparatus is especially intend
ed 10 meet emergencies and compli-
Gated conditions.
IL may be employed in fractures,
gunshot wounds, luxations and dislo-
cations. II may serve as a tempo
rary splint instead OF spica, or
again II may be employed as a per
manent splint, depending upon the
adyisability of recumbent or am
bulatory treatment
The device consists essentially OF
two fat steel bars attached at their
lower ends to a rectangular foot
plate. To the external rod are riv-
eted a series of from IL to Is thin
aluminium bands which are curved
10 nj any lower limb around which
they may be placed The bands
are fitted with straps so that they
may be tightly held in place.
BY turning the bands $50 degrees
the apparatus may be placed on the
other limb. An ingenious foot ar
rangement enables the patient using
such device to exert a tractive
effort 10 a considerable degree with
out pain. The entire device weighs
but eight pounds.
Briefly. the advantages OF the new
device may be summarized as fol-
lows: The limb is held in absolute
immobilization. redression and trac.
tion; ambulatoy treatment is posi-
BILE; observation OF calIus. dressong.
drainage, massage, and electrical
treatment are possible without re-
moving the splint or Iessening the
traction; the apparatus is light and
compact and can easil be made a
part OF any ambulance equipment;
very little skill Is necessary to ap-
ply 1t; practically in post-operative
treatment instead OF splca and.
lastly. IL does not interfere with X
ray examinations.

celved here. Another exchange OF
notes probably will clear the whole
situation.
The position taken by the Aus
trian foreign Office in its reply not
only Is heartily approved here, but
is exactly the attitude Austria was
expected 10 take. IL was pointed
out by officials today that 20 have
complied meekly with the American
demands at once would have cost
Austria much in prestige and would
have brought down popular denuE.
citation upon the Austrian govern
ment.
Austria, having maintained her
position In a dignified manner In
her reply. can now gracefully yield
10 America in a subsequent note"
said one German official "To have
bowed down TO Washington in the
reply II has lust delivered would
have raised storm of protest in
Austria. There Is every reason FOR
believing that the AIstro-American
controversy will be solved inst as
the trouble over the Lus!tania was
settled"
The Vienna press, apparently at
the suggestion OF the government
is refraining from sounding defiance
In editorials on the Ancona AFFAIR.
Some OF the newspapers declare
that Austria has no desire for any
but friendly relations with Amer
lea, and assert that Austria is Will
ing to accept the American view
point II Washington can submit
proper proofs.
These comments are taken as fur
ther indication that the Austrian
government does not intend to force
break.

for s2S0,000 worth of public sewer
bonds with accrued interest These
bonds were taken out OF the citys

OF the controller and treasurer TO

their plans II is generally supposed
that James Couzens Is directly In

this deal as good as closed
The remarkable feature OF the
city bond sales Is that ready mar

whereas other cities are paying as
high as six per cent. In bonding
circles Detroit issues are regarded

TROUBLES

fC..ti..ed from Page ono,

Marquette might be a contract with
the Pennsylvania. whereby that road
secured the right to come into De
troit over the leased tracks OF the
Pere Marquette some part Of the in
creased revenue which is necessity
to its successful operation.
Aside from financial consideration
II is figured that such a contract
would b. a good arrangement for
both roads. II would furnish great
amount of sta,e business to the
Pennsylvania and al the same time
| the Pennsylvania would turn over
large amount Of freight TO the Pcre
Marquette for delivery within the
state.
Running rights over the leased
tracks Of the Pere Marquette would
provide the Pennsylvania with both
passenger and freight terminal
facilities and connections with both
