Associate professor clinical surgery, johns

CINCE anesthetics have taken so
much of the agony out of opera
~ tions, more and more people
regard surgery as a short cut
TO health or beauty.
Are their ears too big? They ask
the doctor to trim them off.
Does a double chin betray their
age? They think the surgeons knlie
is quicker than dieting.
Many people with visible defects
like this have come to me seeking
relief. They want their noses built
up, dropping eyelids or cheeks cor
rected, fat removed firm breasts or
hips or ankles. Sometimes l agree TO
do SO; more often l do not. Before
can tell you why. ! must answer one
question which sticks up its head at
the very beginning of any discussion
of this subject, because unless 1t Is an
swered you will not understand the
reasons for what say later.
What is the difference bettceen
plastic surgery and "beduty sur
gerry?
All the older great surgeons under
stood the principle Of plastic surgery
and practiced 1t successfully, but be'
fore the war there were only Few
Of them who specialized in TINS
branch and who were beginning to
be known as plastic surgeons. Since
the war, with its toll OF horrible mutt
lations, the number Of young men
who have entered this special depart
ment Of the profession has increased
and plastic surgery is becoming a fine
art. None OF my friends. however,
who wish TO be known as plastic
surgeons are ambitious TO be called
beauty surgeons, for such operations
belong to the underworld or medi'
cine. You don't hear much about them
In the test circles Of the profession.
In the beginning Of plastic surgery
only the most expert surgeons, expe-
rienced in all types Of operations, were
capable of artistic work on the human II
anatomy. But antiseptic methods
have made II possible for many mem
bers Of the medical profession. who
would have had neither the courage
nor tho skill years ago. to perform
such operations now.
II an individual has very prominent
ears, not only large but projecting like
a doilkey's, and he is anxious TO have
them reduced in size. put back into
place and made TO conform to the or
dinary appearance of most ears, has
ne a right to demand of surgery that

have not, in the majority of cases,
really accomplished what we could
have accomplished if we had combined
with surgery the modern means of fat
reduction-special diet, graded eXer-
else and hygienic life.
1t is important to note that in these
cases the operation was necessary for
other reasons, but in the ajority of
cases it was not urgent. The pa
tients could have had course of pre-
operative weight reduction. They
should also be urged to continue their
diet and exercise after the operation
because unless they do so the pendu-
lous abdomen will return. Although
this is a most satisfactory operation,
removing a great deal of fat and re.
lieving the patient of a burdensome
deformity. it is a grave mistake. unless
the operation is urgent for other rea-
sons, to perform It without a definite
anti-fat course beforehand.
Evening star., 1927-03-20

When weight reduction has accom-
plished all it can within safe limits un-
der the direction of your physician,
then is the proper moment to ask your
self whether you really desire more
fat removed by surgery. If you have
made up your mind that you really do.
request your physician to refer you to
a plastic surgeon, one who is in good
repute with the medical profession in
his home town, and follow the advice
of these two medical men,

it would be more unsightly to have
scar than to let the tissues remain.
Third, even in the hands of the most
skillful surgeon there is always some
risk of swollen arm, which may be

recovering,

As Told to Lewis Stanton Palen.


"ROUBLE began for us in Moscow
at a time when the terror sud
denly became redoubled. Dur
ing the night. shooting was
frequent in the streets; for the
Bolsheviks aimed so to frighten the
peaceful population IS to be able 10
keep them better in hand.
I could sleep only until the report
of the first shot reached my ears;
then for three or four hours | lay
shuddering at every sound, and IN.
voluntarily my imagination pictured
the scene in the courtyard OF the
military school, with men and women
waiting for their death, some of them
weeping and screaming and some as
calm as stone.
The so.called "house.committee" at
this time had greatly enlarged its
sphere of activity. The president of
the committee controlling our build
ing was named Slavin. He "specu
lated" shamelessly, buying products
from some unofficial source and selling
them at wild prices to the tenants.
In December my mother had
bought from the house committee one
pood-about 36 pounds-of sugar,
which, needless to say. was finished
by about the middle of March, when
we mana dS6u Dy QlNtIS ways W SSNui (
further intermittent supplies.
In May we had nearly tragedy
over this miserable house committees
sugar. The concierge wanted for
some reason to revenge herself on
the president of the committee and
complained to the Bolshevik police
commissariat that Slavin was specu-
lating in sugar.
Speculation was punished very
severely at that time, and spectators
were frequently thrown into prison,
from which, in those days of terror,
there was only one way out-'through
execution to make room for new
arrivals.
The commissariat turned the affair
over to the cheka. My mother was
fined 1000 rubles and was ordered
to make payment before June /.
On the 9th of May, three days be-
fore the term expired, my mother
sent for our advising attorney and.
handing him the 1000 roubles, asked
him to pay the fine to the cheka.

MUST PAY TAXES ON
MOTOR VEHICLES TO
Get 1928 LICENSES

Helena, Nov. 28.-County treasur-
ers must have lists of owners Of
motor vehicles on which taxes have
become delinquent and which are not
lien on real estate filed with the
register of the motor vehicle depart
ment, Deer Lodge, before the second
Monday in December, James H.
Stewart, chairman of the state board
of equalization announced. The reg
lister under the session laws of 1927
is prohibited from issuing licenses on
vehicles on which taxes have not
been paid and which are not lien
upon real estate.
Letters have been mailed to each
county treasurer by the state board
to this effect Incorporating the sug-
gestion that such notices be published
in the local papers.
'The new law is proving most eff
fective in drawing in delinquent
taxes" said Mr.. Stewart. "All coun-
ties show a great increase in motor
vehicles which can be attributed tt
the necessity of paying taxes before
licenses are secured. An illustration
, of the effectiveness of the law is il
Park country, where the assessor il
his opinion covered the county thor
oughly and after an article was pub
lished in the local paper, 100 NOR
owners Immediately paid taxes.
The state board of equalization ha
also notified county treasurers re
| garding collection of personal proper
! ty taxes not a lien upon sufficien
real estate. Since the measure wen
into effect in 1928, several countie
have collected 100 per cent of thei
taxes and the average for the stat
y has been $3.50, which in the opinion 0
= Mr.. Stewart, is an excellent record.
- Under the law a county treasure
must submit a list Of personal pre-
i perty taxes to the state board and /
q the case of a delinquency the treas
l. urer must specify the reason for fai
y ure to collect. If the treasurer ns
