SELF ACTING
"Kinematio Surgery" Developed
to Extraordinary Degree.
italian Physician Achieves Remarkable
Results In Fitting Artificial
Legs.

Bologna, Italy.-Remarkable results
hospitals recently by the $ of what
is known as "kinematic surgery" the
invention Of Professor Putt of Bologna
university. Professor Putti's methods
have aroused intense interest on the
part of American doctors attached to
the Balkan commission Of the Amer
lean Red Cross who are supervising
the artificial leg factories already es-
tablished and being established In
Athens, Saloniki, Belgrade and Bucha-
rest for the wars mutilated.
At present allied soldiers In the
Balkans who have lost their limbs
are being fitted with artificial limbs
and arms Of a type similar to that
employed by Sarah Bernhardt. Pro
fessor Putti's methods, however, are
a distinct advance over all other arti-
fetal appliances.
His treatment of amputated limbs
consists of q unique preparation of
the stump to develop a 'motor" end
to the cords which, after being bound
together over q smooth bearing" of
bone, get as much as a three-inch
travel of. the leg by means Of a re-
education and coordination Of the mus
cles of the stump.
After the stump heals Professor
Putt cuts out a flap of flesh, which
he folds back into an incision to take
the flap. This is allowed to heal and
then through the loose flap Of flesh
a metal bar with attachments to OPP
| crate the artificial limb below is
| suspended. s
The muscles of the calf and thigh
readily respond after some weeks to
| the movement Of the artificial leg, and
soon the pressure Of the swinging Of
| the artificial leg re-educates the NJ
cles through the flap Of flesh, so that
it may be said the muscles Of the
| stump actually operate by themselves
| the mechanical features Of the ard-
fetal limb.
In the case Of a severed hand the
muscle groups surrounding the bone
are trained to operate catgut cords
which, In turn, operate artificial fin
gers.
Not since the introduction Of "de-
bridgement" in American army medical
work in France has any medical fnno-
walton created as much comment.

Chicago.-Twenty-one little French
war orphans constitute a living monu-

for its soldier dead. A fund has been
contributed by its citizens to care for
one little war waif for each Clarinda
boy who died in France, that their

When the chief was appointed in
the days when Mayor Edward r.
Pierce was chief executive of the city
1t was the custom to bring prisoners
to the station houes In wheelbarrows.
No patrol in those days and motor

undreamed of.
There were five other patrolmen on

do patrol duty. If a drunk was found
annoying any section of the town it
became the patrolman on duty to act
the part of a true knight. There were
no telephones to run to to summon

then came the laborious and often lu-

Those were the days of the wheel
barrow. If the man couldn't walk the

experiment made by John Bicker-

interest In their work and not doing
more than they were obliged to-"
