Broken Neck Cured

How an American army flier, whose neck was broken by fall, recovered and re-entered the service, was briefly told in Popular Mechanics last March. Now that a permanent cure has been effected, the apparatus that accomplished so extra ordinary a result is disclosed. Devised for the occasion by the army surgeon in charge of the case it took the form of a rigid support for the patients head, with adjustments which kept the neck sui ficiently stretched to separate the injured vertebrae. A sole-leather pad for chin and neck was made from plaster cast A metal yoke fitted to the shoulders was inclosed in leather pads held rigidly in place by a firm body harness. To the metal yoke were soldered upright rods of metal, extending well up toward tho top of the head. and the neck pad was strapped to the tips of these rods. Wing nuts at this point w9ee screwed up to greater tension each day, until the pa. tient's head resumed it's normal attitude This curious method of treatment is the subject of an illustrated article in the Popular Mechanics magazine

Doughboy Takes a Wife

Lucian Swift Kirtland, in Leslie's
 An English paper recorded that Cam adian troops returning to the Domin- ion are bringing with them 95.000 brides. The impressiveness of this fig ure has stirred the question: How about the Americans in France"
 A little more than year ago Ameri- can soldiers began to arrive in France by tens of thousands daily. They were not vacation bent. Today they are re- turning home-and many of them will point out the Statue of Liberty to a pair of bright eyes under a French millinery creation, and not an over- seas cap. There is even ground for Frances fears that the always as cending line on the doughboy's matri- monial chart Is meaning real drain against the nations vitality of youth It is estimated that before the last troopship will sail from Brest harbor at least twenty thousand French girls will have become American wives.
 It is impossible to do more than ap- proximate the statistics at the present time. There have been rumors of this wholesale slaughter by Dan Cupid, but in world of rumors including such spectacular predictions as that the peace conference would break up in a fiasco and that Europe will be laid waste by bolsheviki armies, the report of the doughboys taking wife at first did not have enough sensational glue to stick and irritate the imagination It was not until the casual visitors at the American passport office saw the waiting-room always crowded with soldiers and their French wives that

Honor of German Navy

From tho ReVleW.
 There remained one untried ignominy for the German navy. There now is none. The sinking of the surrendered fleet at Scapa Flow by the German of- ficers is an act of singular treachery. They were treated as honorable persons, left in charge of their own ships, with out British guards. In such a case, ac- cording to the law of war, the officers and crews are trustees of the surren- dered vessel for the captors. The history of the sea shows very few cases in which this trust has been abused. The German officers who have planned or tolerated this treacherous act are, of course, lia- ble to rt-martial and death. Their case Is that of a commander who de- stroys his own ship. That the ship was interned does not alter the legal aspect of the case What happens to these for sworn and dishonored officers does not greatly matter. At the moment when Germany h about to sign the peace treaty, they have done a good service in giving a startling demonstration of the worthlessness of any German promise the execution of which depends solely

Russia's Hope in Kolchak
From the Review.

From the ReVleW.
 The Kolchak government at OmslS is naturally far from perfect. It has made many mistakes itself and many more have been made by it's agents or officials But this was to have been expected. Its task is exceedingly difficult and to ask that it should function in perfectly orderly and efficient manner under the conditions confronting it, is to ask too much. What is true, however, is that it is an honest effort to establish orderly conditions, rebuild economic life and re- store Russia. Socialists and bolsheviks hate it because it is non on-socialistic and they are using every effort to arouse un- just prejudice against it. But loyal Rus sians feel that it is their one great hope and that if this effort to set up Rus sian government should fail, there lies ahead black chaos, from which Russia can only recover after years of anarchy and frightful suffering.

Why, friends, America will seem like heaven then' "I don't know about that" the sol dier heckler shouted.

Camping Outfit in Auto Body

In appearance nothing more than part of the body of certain common type of small automobile, new attachment il- lustrated in the Popular Mechanics maga- zine conceals complete camping outfit, including tent, spring mattress, gasoline stove. table, two camp stools, chair, wash stand, lantern, ax, aluminium cooking out = fit, and water bucket. An advantage of this arrangement, the makers say, is that one may go camping without announcing the fact by the unusual appearance of ones automobile. Less than five minutes is required to set up the outfit. A bed is formed by attaching the table to the rear of the automobile and placing the mattress on the platform thus Formed Room is provided for carrying food and clothing in the same compartment which holds the outfit.

Practical Sermons

From London sTit-Bits.
 A minister in the course of his serm on illustrated his point by saving: " ou know you plant roses in the sunshine, and heliotrope and geraniums, but if you want your fuchsias to grow you must keep them in shady nook"
 After the service a woman came up to him, her face beaming with pleasure
 "Oh, I am so grateful for that-ser- mon," she said, clasping his hand and shaking it warmly.
 His heart glowed for a moment-only for a moment, though.
 Yes she went on, fervently Y never knew before what was the matter with my fuchsias."
