set Alright the somewhat
misguided modes of YOUNG
America. The schools and
colleges are too apt to be
the accepte d criterion OF
STYLES among young folKs'
and the folly Of such an
arrangement requires no en-
phasis-the spirit of rivalry,
rather than a proper regard
for good taste, sets tne
standard. One smart tail
ored suit isn't considered
enough for the little miss IN
her teens; she must have an
other for good, and that IN
many cases Is a velvet one.
The velvet costume TOT
young girls may be extreme
ly girlish or extremely IN
appropriate. The designer
alone bears the RESPONSE
bility, and 1t is not a small
one, by any means. The
problem of bringing out the
best in modern girlhood and
making 1t attractive and at
tho same time achieve the
right degree of conspicuous
ness is one worth tackllng.

fashions. A touch of fancy

the models show picot edged

FRACTURED BONES AND
HOW THEY KNIT TOGETHER
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

TROM the title Of this item you might
her habits, but such is not the case. 1t
is about broken bones.
Everybody who has the misfortune to
have bone fractured knows, or thinks
he knows, that two things are essential
parts of the surgeons treatment. First,
the fracture must be "set" and then it
must be held perfectly rigid until the
ninth day, when by some mysterious
force of Nature the two or more frag-
ments suddenly seize hold of one another
and commence to knit" or grow to-
gether.
No newspaper account of an individual
instance of fracture is considered COM
pletc without the conventional statement
that "Dr. Blank was summoned and re-
duced the fracture"
As matter of fact, Dr. Blank usually
requires anywhere from a few days to
two weeks to set" or reduce the frac-
ture, For instance. in a case of frac-
tured femur Cthigh bone) or fractured
hip, it is practically impossible to bring
the broken ends In contact within a week
or ten days, though every effort is put
forth by the surgeon to do so. The only
way in which such a fracture can be i'm
mediately reduced is by cutting down
upon the broken bone and wiring or nail
ing tho fragments together This Is a
procedure that is being followed more and
more frequently these days.
The reason n fractured femur resists
'setting" so long Is that the great mus
cles are in a state of continual contrac-
tton which cannot be for-ibly overcome
without the aid of an anesthetic. Steady,
gradual pull on the leg, however. will
finally coax the spasmOdic muscles to re-
lease the fragments, and so, after a week
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1915-12-07

or more, the broken ends are brought
practically in contact
Meanwhile the process of callous forma-
tion has gone forward from the very
instant of the injury. First there Is
blood clot; this slowly thickens, "organ-
ICES" as doctors say. becomes permeatcd
by newly formed blood vessels, which
carry lime salts TO the clot. So that, by
the time the fracture is really set" the
callous is just beginning to develop soft
cartilage, and then new bone
There is no more knitting on the
ninth or the tenth day than there is on
the second or the thirtieth. And we
might also say thar the setting" OF a
broken bone is usually a gradual process
too
Splints are commonly supposed to hold
broken bones in place. With comparative
ly few exceptions splints are emnloVed
only to support the soft tissues and keep
the muscles at rest while the fragments
are uniting. Some fractures are better
treated without splints at all. The Xray
inspection of broken bones proves that
this is true.

WHY THE RuNTs?

There has been Il good deal of COM
plant among corn belt farmers for sew
eral months past in regard TO the I'M
thrifty condition of the spring pigs,
many of which are undersized, thin of
flesh and generally scrawny. There
are two or three things any one Of
which may be responsible for the con-
,lition noted 1t may be that some or
these hogs are following tubcrcular
cattle and have contracted the disease
A more likely cause Is worms In some
of the vital organs, which sap the life
blood as fast rs il is manufactured
In other cases unthriftiness may be
due to lice or other parasites, which
attack and work beneath the skin
Where is little that can be done If tu-
bercu,osis has been contracted, though
removal to different quarters might
help. In the case of worms, their loca-
ton should be determined and then
remedies given which will kill and re-
move them. In case of the parasites,
sprays or ointments should be used
which will put them out of business.
Ascertaining the cause of unthriftiness
and applying the needed remedy will
be worth while in that it will make
possible more rapid growth and larger
gains.
Animal Etiquette.
No one who is at all obseryant OF
the ways of animals can have failed
to notice how gentle large dogs, like
the st. Bernard and the Great Dane,
are to their smaller canine, fellows. 1t
is rare that big dog turns upon one
of the little fellows, no matter how
aggravating and snappy the latter may
be. Instead. he Invariably treats the
small dogs antics with unruiiied and
dignihed tolerance. For there is n
recognized code of etiquette among
animals, If You please, quite as much
as there is among human beings. In
truth, there are not few respects in
which the animals can give points on
politeness and good behavior TO man
himself.
