HEAD NURSE SAYS
Fractured Bones.

Coasting, skating and icy pavements
make winter the season of fractures.
Usually, the home nurse has little to
do for these accidents. But 1t is we'll
to know, however. that there are some
things you must do while waiting.
The principal point to bear in mind Is
to keep the fractured part immovable
and in such position that it may give
as little pain as possible. If this Is
done there need be no hurry about
having the bone set until you can get
the proper professional service.
The limb should be supported on
something stiff and smooth. such as a
thin, narrow board or shingle, or the
bark OF a tree, IL nothing else is
available. Pad this with cotton or
leaves and bandage with strips Of any
material available. In placing the
limb on the splint. slide the hand.

on the distal side SO as to keen the
two ends from rubbing together. Now

is'in the position required.
The danger from too much handling
Is that OF injury to the surrounding
vessels and tissues by the sharp
points of splintered bone.
Fractures in children are called
"greenstick" fractures. because the
bones are soft and bend like q willow
branch rather than like sessonac
wood. 1t is because Of the flexible
bones that a child falls 90 often with
out injury. The overanxious mother
might save herself many hours Of un.
easiness IL she but realized the elas-
ticity of young bones.
The actual knitting of bones In
the average adult case takes about
six weeks. The bones are still weak
at the end of this time, and much
care should be taken In using the in
jured lin. 1t will be good as new"
in six months or a year.

IS THIS YOUR TYPEp
If Your Nose Is Long.
BY MARIE "A ROGUE
sso by the Ncciur. Newspaper syndieats

That your nose should be just one
third the length Of your face is
what the authorities on symmetry Of
features will tell you. So get out your
ruler and measure allowing one
third for the forehead. one-third for
the nose and one-third for the re-
mainder Of the face to the tip Of the
chin. Now. II by any chance you fnd
that your nose exceeds this propor-
tion-cheer MP. there are many re-
muses. and heroes and not few beau
ties in the same boat with you.
The fact that the Grecian nose
sometimes exceeds this proportion.
though Il does not give the i'm
preston OF excessive length because
IL Is fairly broad.
Madame de Maintenon's long nose
was an entirely different sort. There
was nothing Greek about Il. II was
aquiline. with an extended tip that
was lacking in the Greek ideal.
1t has been said that the large
nose indicates a clever man. This
means a nose that is not only long,
but large throughout. The fact is
that the ample nose indicates strong
respiratory organs. without which
great endurance is well nigh i'm
possible. However. the long, mar
row nose may be q really deficient
breathing organ, so to possess the
nose of genius, IL must be large as
well as long.
II you look through the portraits
OF great men you will find that the
short nose is the exception rather
than the rule. Your measuring stick
would show you that there were
many that were greater than one
third the length of the entire face.
Washington. Adams. Jefferson-run
through the Presidents and see how
many had long or longish noses:
and whether or not we put Wilson
in a class with Washington and
Lincoln, we must admit that his
nose is no shorter than theirs.
Galli-Curci has a very long nose.
That is doubtless the first thing you
thought when you saw the FIRST por-
trait Of the brilliant singer. And
.Galli-Curci stands ahead Of ordinary
singers as much because of the su-
perbness of her vocal organs as be-
cause Of the extraordinary keenness
of her mind. Margaret Anglin has
a long nose. So have many of the
most brilliant women OF the Eng
lish nobility of today. The artistic
