STRAINS AND SPRAiNS

BY Captain G. r, G. Fisher.
Strains and sprains are often con-
fused but a strain is not a spraln,
since a sprain is much more serious
than a strain. \ strain is the stretch
ing Of a muscle, either in overexer-
cising or from OVERRIDING in work;
particularly in lifting heavy articles,
especially jerking up weights with
the back bent. AS a rule, rest Will
restore an overstraining of the sys-
tenn: friction, with hands on parts
affected. cold applications and sup
port of pillows on lower extremities,
or OF arm sling for upper extremities
for a short time, will usually suffice.
A sprain, on the other hand, is a
wrench OF a joint due TO a sudden
or violent movement. In severe
sprains the ligaments may be torn,
the cartilage of the joint may be in
iured. the surrounding muscles
stretched, and there may even be
a hemorrhage into the joint. The
symptoms of such a serious injury
are well known; the pain is usually
bad enough to cause the injured to
faint; nausea is common; great swell
ing occurs IL the blood vessels near
the surface are r%uptured; the parts
become black and blue within an hour
or two-those deeper take a day or
more to cause discoloration. Speedily
procure medical help, but in the mean
time, if the ankle, remove shoe by
undoing laCes or buttons and carefully
rip back seam Of shoe and tenderiy
slip of; otherwise. if shoulder or
elbow, place patient in easiest possible
position and support limb on pillow;
il wrist. support with large arm sling;
Il knee or ankle. elevate limb on pill
lows. Apply icecold applications. Ep-
som salts in solution is good, as the
evaporation Is an aid TO keep down
swelling. but don't cloths; alco-
hol nav be used for same purpose.
One OF The best remedies 10 combat
t1e pain and keep down swelling is
~chIorotorI l3rtuent, equal parts Of
chloroform and sweet oil. Apply the
cloths saturated with this mixture,
cover with oil silk, rubber tissue or
OIL paper, and keep in place by loose
baodaEe Always treat shock, and in
sisi On patient keeping perfectly quiet.
A common confusion IS that of the
, eye sockets. better known as a black
eye To overcome swelling and dis
colora:ion. keep pieces Of lint or gauze,
which have been on ice over the con-
fusion and change frequently; wash
the eye ard surrounding parts with
boric acid solution (teaspOonful to
two ounces Of boiled water), and when
swelling and Inflammation are reduced
the affected parts may be painted with
c~ontractile collod;on, or new skin.
Larger contusions, place injured in
most comfortable position; if limbs
elevate on pillows and keep cold or
| hot cloths on bruised parts according

for doctor.
In cases of ~dislocations, carefully

shock and get medical aid as quickly
as possible.

The body Of Leeds Vaughan Waters
the club man and globe trotter who was
murdered last Wednesday in the Plym-

Woodlawn Cemetery. Detectives work
ing on the case have made no arrests
but they still are following slender clues
in an effort to find the murderer.
The theory was advanced yesterday
that the man who accompanied Waters
to the Plymouth Hotel on the morning
of the murder and registered as Dunn
was either n resident of the Tenderloin
district or we'll acquainted with that
section.

mediation at the Plymouth Hotel, 257

PRE-WAR SUGAR Is

Only Half Of Europe Able to

Sugar is going TO drop until 1t hits

Of the most prominent men in the sugar
industry, declared yesterday just before
sailing for Europe on the White Star
liner Olympic.
The glad tidings were absolutely un-
qualified by any conditions or possibili-

country being poorly supplied. but de-
clared there was at no time a real
shortage OF sugar.
Prices must go to normal he said.
"By that mean pre-war prices. For

being harvested with a surplus TO be sold
of 1,250.0o tons. Only one-half of Eu-
rope is able to purchase anything, which

be used in this country.

talking of high prices have been living
in FOOLS paradise and they are not
unlike the person who tells an untrue
story so many times he comes at last to
believe 1t himself. They will find the

STEEL MILLS CLOSE
AS MARKET SLUMPS
Reduction Of Forces May Mean
Thousands Ont of Work
Very Soon.
SOME REDUCE WAGES
Pittsburg Plants Are Going
Strong, but Output Drops
in Other Districts.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD
PITTsBuRa, Nov 6. - Steel and iron
prices have begun to sag off in the face
Of very slack market. and word re-
ceived from the Shenango Valley, Youngs-
town and some sections of the Mononga.
hela and Allegheny Valleys are to the
effect that big plants are beginning tc
reduce their working forces. with the ex-
pectation of further cutting their en-
ployment lists during the winter
The situation. to some extent, is pc
culiar one from labor standpoint. In
Pittsburg proper big steel plants are
committed so far ahead that they ac-
tually are short of labor, and for weeks
have been seeking men in the middle
Western cities. where big Industries, feel
ing the effects of severe market depres-
sion in their respective trades. have been
laying off thousands of men.
In the outlying districts, however, con-
ditions are different. From Youngstown
comes word that most of the big Ma
hcning Valley mills are operating with
four men where five formerly were en-
ployed. While the official statement as
given out is that wedding out of the
inefficient" is under way,fit is significant
that the statement is further supple
mented with the announcement that de-
partment heads have been notified that
the -four efficient men remaining on the
payrolls must do the work in the future
the five had done formerly"
The Carnegie steel plants in the Ma
honing Valley are operating at 20 per
cent. One big steel concern that pro-
duced 100000 tons of iron in five years
with six furnaces Is preparing to bank
them all next week.
The Valley Mould and Iron Company
has banked its furnace at Sharpsville for
an Indefinite period
Six furnaces have been thrown out of
blast in the Shenango Valley during the
past two weeks.
The first drop in steel prices came
when Ford cut his price of cars and
at the same time demanded that every
manufacturer from whom he was pur-
chasing material cut prices accordingly.
Many reports are coming to the front
of big mills laying off men and later
reinstatirg them at a lower wage rate
with notification that they are being
given employment out of goodness of
heart" The curtailing OF production,
which is now under way. means a cur
failing of employment as we'll
Practically all lines OF steel are
sagging IN price With the exception
of a few OF the largest independents and
some United States Steel Corporation
plants, steel concerns report a very
soggy market-one that offers little hope
for continued operation at the present
high cost of production.

1T is significant that practically all
items entering into the cost of living

Despite this fact. the general cost of liv-
