After $500 Foot Fall and
He Flies Again

There Is a man in San Francisco
walking around with a broken neck.
He is Lieutenant Charles NJ. Cummins,
of Richmond, Va.
Cummins was an army aviator.
While making a flight at Gerstner
Field, La, in February. 1918, he fell
$500 feet, fr~acturing the fourth, fifth
and sixth cervical vertebrae and dis

In San Francisco for treatment. Army
surgeons who are almost working mir
acles there in the reconstruction of
the wal wounded finally fitted a metal
collar on the aviator to carry the
weight of his head. 1t worked-and
now Lieutenant Cummins is walking
about apparently normal.
Only One of Many.
Lieutenant Cummins' case Is only
one of many, but IL stands out because
Of the popular superstition that a man
cant live If his neck is broken. The
reconstruction surgeons at Letterman
are working on hundreds of cases
much more difficult than the flyers.
They are receiving men there daily
from the battlefields of France, whose
legs and arms hang withered and help
less and they are turning those men
out, after months of special treatment
and patient mechanical manipulation,
able to use their arms and legs and
capable of making awning.
The cost, of course, is tremendous
when one takes into consideration the
fact that the same work Is being car
ried on in many military hospitals.
Already Congress has appropriated mil
lions of dollars to carry on the work
and millions more will have to be
made available for the cause. For it is
a cause, this regeneration of the men
who gave their bodies to their coun
try.

Part of the money to be realized
from the Victory Liberty Loan will
be used for this Job of reconstruction
or regeneration. Think of this when
you are making up your mind as to
how much of the loan you, personally.

Lieutenant Cummins made a flight
with his collar on just to convince him.

We can't afford to lose our nerve on

face Of the deeds of such men.

ers must be discharged within the next
five weeks in order that the commits
stoned strength of the army may be
brought down to $4,000, the war de-

day that "the accident Of war and the
process of rehabilitation are at an
end. The officers to be retained will
be selected from applicants for per-
manent appointment.
THE difficulties of adjustment" the
statement said, have been increased
in the uncertainties of the future mill

high cost Of living and the failure Of
all classes to realize that economies
must be promptly met"
After stating that the army so far
as its regular officers are concern cd
is to be returned to a normal basis,
the statement points out the great
savings that will result from the re-
duction Of rank of officers.
In the grade of colonel for instan &c
