LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor Mt Il hospital in
Paris has invented cardboard leg
which enables the wcarcr to go about
without crutchcs two days after his
limb has been ampututrd.
The l.a,t i'iH.% U,H,, ;ur tWo sheets
of cardboard about thrrc-SiNtccnth OF
an inch thick, and bandugcs soaked In
q starch solution. After careful meas
urcments have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
pcg-tops, which after being soaked III
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandagcS.
The principle is that Of an egg In Il
cup. and the patient can wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and cXer-
else, which 1t is usually impossible to
obtain ut this phase Of his GONZALES
ccnce; also he has to suffer none of
the inconvcnienccs Of crutchcs, Il stick
suftlcing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
n year, by which time permanent
artificial limb Is ready to be fitted.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase In United States Revealed by
Census Taken, by National Com.
mittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity In the United States Is de-
revealed by reason Of census taken
Of the insane, feeble-minded, epileptics,
lnebrates and drug addicts by the
National Committee for Mental Hy-
giene. Analysis Of this census is found
In the Mental Hygiene. 1t was com
piled by Horatlo M. Pollack, statistici-
an of the New York State Hospital
commission, and Edith M Furbush,
statistician of the National Committee
for Mental Hygiene.
The federal census bureau estimates
that the Increase Of population from
April Is, 1910, to January l, 1917, was
11.SO per cent. The same government
agency found in 1910 that the number
Of insane In institutions was 187,701.
The census taken in the present year
revealed 234,055 insane persons in in
stitutions. Thus the increase In the
insane in institutions during the CORE
spending period was 24G4 per cent, n
growth more than double that of the
general population.
Moreover, the rate Of increase Of the
Insane in institutions was relatively
greater than that Of the general popu-
lat1on In every state except Arizona,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nevada and South
Carolina. Illinois is one Of the states
In which the disparity between growth
Of population and increase in insanity
has been greatest. In this state the
population increase was 0.94 per
cent, as compared with percentage
OF increase Of insane in institutions of
27.S8. The neighboring state Of Indl-
ana shows an even greater disparity,
With percentages Of 4.64 and 27.44 re-
spectively.
