cause of the strangeness Of the fall, be-
cause the girl had sat upon the musicians
head, the two lower vertebrae were
broken. The coccyx, the lowest bone in
the spine, which in a skeleton looks like
the tail of dog, was broken across its
width. The sacrum, the next bone above
this curving coccyx, heavier and
stronger and thicker bone, too was
broken. A triangular crack extended
through It. That which had been deemed
impossible had happened.
An X-ray photograph was made Of the
injury. This is the report Of the special
ist who made It.:
"There Is an incomplete fracture Of the
lower portion Of the sacrum, involving
the lover two segments. The fracture
line on the left side extends upward and
inward for about one inch, whereas the
fracture line on the right side extends
upward and inward for about two inches.
There is no displacement Of fragments"
The last was indeed the saving clause
for pretty Miss Haig.
"No displacement Of fragments in
bones" corresponds to what in a flesh

wound would be called "clean cut"
No tatters. No irregularities. A clean,
straight line. This is material advan-
tage in healing.
But there was another serious obstacle
to overcome The severe fall had caused
a strain of the tendons of the leg, and as
the X-ray specialist said, "a distinct
separation and subluxation of the sacro-
lilac Joint on the right side. The ilum
is displaced upward with respect to the
sacrum and the joint space is increased
to twice its normal size" Or, to use a
phrase more ineligible to others than to
students of medicine, the right leg was
driven by the force of her fall farther
to the right than it belonged.
The surgeon, finding t. at the bones had
broken in "clean cut" decide ed to help
nature to help herself. He placed Miss
Haig in a plaster cast, her "ston, bed"
IN which she lay for four weeks. This
caused her to lie still. Nature did the
rest, which was to send the blood flow
ing normally between the bones and
gradually reunite them.
After four weeks the cast was re-

Miss Haig's lower vertebrae were
broken. It was o rare accident, almost
unique. For Nature is at great pains to
protect the tender organs on q plane with
the lower part Of the spine. She has
built triangular, honey house to shelter
them. The lower part of the spine Is i'm
bedded deeply in this structure, as though
in an inner room Of the house. Yet be-

moved Miss Haig was permitted to sit
in a wheeled chair and to walk little.
After a while she may be able to dance
again.
Lillian Lorraine suffered similar pre-
sumably incurable hurt when she fell
down two flights of stairs from the Fifty
Fifty Club. Her neck was broken.
She, too, was placed in a plaster cast,
but she was suspended on an inclined
ness; her body was drawn downward by
a weight varying from fifteen to twenty
FIVE pounds as time passed. Her head
was drawn upward so that its weight
would not rest upon the broken neck.
Thus, the pressure being withdrawn from
above and below, the broken bones
gradually healed and were welded to-
gether in new mass. After year Miss
Lorraine left the hospital, and after six
months of rest in the country she re-
turned to the stage.
Miss Mary Moore, another beautiful
young actress; was motoring when fate
overlook her. The car was ditched on
Long lsldnu TOdu' Inc young woman
was flung from it. She was carried, in
sensible, to the Broad Street Hospital in
the downtown district of New York.
After a two weeks sleep Miss Moore,
as It were, awakened. She could speak
only two or three words.
Her back had been broken, Just as Miss
Lorraine's had, near the neck DR.. Adolph
Lorenz, who had cured Lolita Armour
and many others by his bloodless opera
tions, was called in consultation.

Moore has nearly recovered. She can
talk and walk, but is still weak and
crippled. She had intended to return to
the stage this Autumn, but cannot.
Yet her broken back is mended. So is,
without doubt, Miss Lorraines and Miss
Haig's.
So has another fear been driven away
by the genius of surgeons. One whose
back has been broken may be down, but
is not necessarily out
The doctor smiled an answer to the
panied inquiry in the clarinet players
eyes.
"Your neck was dislocsted, but it is all
rislt now. Your back is not broken.
You should go to the country for two
weeks rest.
After fortnight Mr.. Battista returned
to the orchestra.
The Washington times., 1922-09-24

THE curtain had fallen between acts
of brilliant revue in one of New
= York's most fashionable little thea
tres on upper Broadway. Out from the
wings tripped Miss Emma Haig, dainty
dancer whose nimble toes had carried her
far up the path of stage success. 1t was
a critical audience and little Miss Haig
aimed to please.
Her dance was supposed to symbolize
the seasons of the year. She had danced
lightly and gayly to represent Spring;
warmly and ardently to portray Summer;
now she was portraying the spirit OF
Autumn. To stress the richness and
beauty of the Fall season she had con-
ceived a graceful but vigorous leap and
high kick.
As the dance went on Miss Haig deter
mined to make this leap and kick even
more impressive than ever before. So she
with extraordinary vigor kicked straight
out and up with her left leg.
Now, theoretically-anda as it had hap
pened many times before-when the left
foot had arrived above her left ear and
far over her head, the impetus of the
kick should have raised her right toes off
the floor and Miss Haig should have gone
straight up into the air for two or three
feet. The impetus being spent, she should
have dropped lightly back
But that night something entirely diff
ferent happened. Instead of going
straight up the amazed little dancer found
herself sailing straight out over the foot
lights toward the audience!
In mid-passage there was tremendous

bump. Quickly there came another even
harder. And then little Miss Haig lapsed
into Inconsistencies.
Theatre employees carried her away. At
the same time, back in the audience,
others were carrying out an unconscious
clarinet player, whose head lolled rather
terrifyingly upon his shoulder.
What had happened was this: The ex-
traordinary force which the dancer had
put into her kick and leap had hurled her
forward like projectile, instead of send
ing her straight up like rocket.
In her swift flight over the orchestra
she had sat squarely upon the head of
Felippo Battista, clarinet player.
That unfortunate musician had passed
immediately in the middle of a sweet note
into sleep as profound as that which fol-
lows a punch on the jaw from Jack Demp-
sey! Her progress hardly checked by the
encounter, Miss Haig had caromed off
his head and had sat with stunning force
squarely upon the heavy rail that divides
the orchestra from the audience.
From there she had 'crumpled down at
the feet of the startled occupants of that
part of the first row.
Miss Haig had literally kicked herself
off the stage, and in doing so had broken
not only her back, but had dislocated and
almost broken the neck of the clarinet
player, who had been within her range!
So had come to pass an absolutely
unique accident, not only in Che history of
surgery, but Of the dance, the stage and
general gymnastics.
The doctor who had come out of the
audience examined both victims. A tele-
phone soon brought DR.. Philip CRAFTSMAN,
the same surgeon who had attended the
Follies star, Lillian Lorraine, last year
when she broke her neck. He ordered the
girl taken to an hospital. He lifted the
clarinet players chin in one hand and
placed the other hand at the back of his
neck a pressure, snarp oloW ~ tne
back of the neck Take him home," he
said. Though still unconscious, they did.
The accident which befell Emma Haig
occurred at the Music Box. Miss Haig
suffered what commonly has been be-
lieved to be an incurable injury. Her
back had been broken. She is one of
three beautiful young women who have
suffered the same injury and whose ex-
periences have been a valuable contribu-
ton to medical science. For, although
each had a broken back, one has entirely
recovered and the others are on the way
to recovery. They have driven forth the
bogie belief that a broken back cannot be
mended.

Paonessa Has New Weapon to Curb Action of Greedy
 Landlords ..

Mayor A. M. PaoneAsa has decided upon a new weapon to combat rent prof1teering, two alleged cases of which have been brought to his at tention during the past few weeks. In all cases where the rent has been raised without an apparently good reason and the mayor is so informed, he will notify Assessor E. A. McCar- thy and suggest that cognizance be the property in the next assessment. Boosted assessments, he feels, will discourage the practice of unduly boosting rentals.
 The latest complaint, received this morning, was from Joseph Weiner, who conducts a store at the corner of Chestnut and Fairview streets and occupies a tenement above the store, in property owned by Joseph Krenn. krenn, he tells the mayor. Is anxious to obtain possession of the store, but Weiner holds a lease. In the tene- ment above, however. he rents from month to month holding no lease. In an attempt to force Weiner out, he says Krenn has notified him that next month the rent will be boosted from s25 to $40. There have been no inn provements to warrant such an in- crease the storekeeper feels, and ac- cordingly he has lodged a complaint with the mayor.
 This morning Mayor Paonessa die tated a letter of disapproval which was despatched to Krenn.

High School Authorities Register Complaint, Say ing Students Spend Too Much Time Reading Them

That High school students are put ting in too much time in the reading of literature Of an alleged indecent character, instead of devotins their time in the pursuit of education, was alleged this afternoon in a complaint registered by members of the school committee with the police. An arrest of a Main street newsdealer is expect ed before nightfall,

French To Sell.

Paris, Oct. IS. (By Associated Press) Liquor as usual" up to the three mile limit, was the decision which the directors of the French line reached at a conference here. Then seal up the bars and let international law take its course" But should an appeal to the supreme court against the ruling forbidding the carrying of liquor by foreign owned liners within territorial waters of the United States be adversely decided the line will then appeal to the international court of justice al The Hague.
 The British lines are understood to be in perfect harmony with the French company in this matter. Tho first test case is likely to arise when the White Star liner Majestic, which is scheduled to sail from Cherboure October IS. reaches New York.

Leader in Commons De- clares England Faces Great National Danger in Labor Party
Sensational Speech Today Indicates Line Upon Which Premier Will Make Fight for Political Life.

Birmingham, Eng, Oct. 13. (By As. sociated Press)-Austen Chamberlain the government leader in the house of commons, in sensational speech tc the Midland Conservative club here today declared the coalition govern ment must be continued, thereby in- dicating the line upon which Premier Lloyd George will make his fight for political life in the next general cleo tion and removing doubts as to whether MT. Chamberlain as unionist party leader would support his chief.
 Cue For Lloyd George.
 Special significance attached to the speech inasmuch as the premier him. self was said to be awaiting the pro nouncement to learn what support he had before writing the speech he is to deliver at Manchester tomorrow.
 Mr. Chamberlain took his stand in favor of the coalition on the grounds that the country faced a great nation al danger in the labor party. If la bor obtained 8 majority he declared. direct action woMd triumph over the government which would not be all Lo"Sd tO lCdu Dul "OulI Dt 1OICtu lO take instructions from the labor eau GUS.
 Sees Labor Menace
 The unionist party leader asserted that the country must not hand over an experiment in national construc- tion to the subyersive, if not revolu- tionary, party. A levy on capital would mean the ruin of industry, he said. He defended the governments foreign policy which had been heavily criticiz- oed by opponents of the government. He declared the governments policy had prevented the confagration in Asia Minor from spreading to Europe

 T do say with all the earnestness of a great conviction that union should be of first consideration union in the face of the common foe.

 ''If the advice given me on such subjects is not wholly and absolutely wrong-and for myself I am convinc- ed that it is right-there will be no possibility in new parliament of any government carrying on except by coalition drawn from more than ont party"

General Retirement From Vicinity ol Chanak Eases Situation As Far
 As British Are Concerned.

Chanak. Oct. 13. (By Associated Press, A general retirement of the Turkish troops from the immediate vicinity of Chanak is in progress. This eases the situation as far as the Brit ish. who are established there. are concerned.
 A Chanak dispatch Thursday an nounced an advance of the Turkish forces towaV the British line, against which the British commander pro- tested as a violation of the armistice agreement. The Turkish commander replying, declared he had not yet re- ceived notification of the armistice, but would give orders for retirement as soon as such notice came
