that she herself had been stubbornly

She recapltulated 1t all. Through

sands OF men who had lost limbs In
the war Ii would be impossible TO get
enough artificial substitutes unless
aliens were employed. To meet tie
difficulty skilled limbs committee OF
physicists. engineers and surgeons was
formed which had directed the prodnc-
tion of limbs by wood carvers. pattern
makers and mechanics in sliipDuilding
yards and engineering shops. and thus
they had been able. by employing
home Industry alone. to supply arti-
fetal limbs in sufficient quantities and
quality to satisfy requirements.
Methods OF Treatment.
Prof. V. Putt OF Bologna dealt with
the surgical treatment pertaining TO
umputations. He described the meth
DDS of DIR. Giulinno Vunghetti. who
first conceived the idea and tile means
of drawing living energies from the
stump OF an amputated liIub nnd trans
mitting voluntary movements TO an
artificial member. II Is now possible
for n man who has lost both hands 10
use knife and fork at table, dress
himself and even shave with II safety
razor. This miracle Is due to the treat
ment known as cincmatization, and the
perfection to which artificial limbs
have been brought.
In order TO obtain this voluntary
movement the muscles ARE allowed to
overlap the bone of the stump and are
so arranged as to give two protuber-
ances similar In shape and size to two
small fingers. The muscles are so ar
ranged as TO give alternately the fiex-
ion and extension movements and
where that cannot be obtained II rotary
movement can be given. In this way
artificial limbs, instead Of being mere
selves be manipulated.

etc.
The wage question has been n seri-
Gus problem. but the difficulties have
been largely solved. Up TO the present
very few of the trained men trans
ferred to employment have failed to
obtain wages of $40 and over per week.
1t Is hoped that with the extension of
the work of the department exchanges

the employer who considers that n

Amsterdam.-The death of six chill
dren ut the German reform school In
Tiefenort, Saxe-Weimer, from what
practically amounts to starvation. al
though 1t Is politely called "undernour-
ishment'' in the official reports, has
caused widespread comment in Ger
many.
Assailed in the grand ducal parlia-
ment for tolerating such conditions,
the government put forth the dlverting
excuse that the children died from
Tuberculosis brought on by deficient
mental conditions" This, says Vor-
waerts m a scathing editorial. is "a
disease that is likely to prove more
serious and more mysterious than the
influenza epidemic in Spain"
