Such a golfer, so Bob Macdonald
says. invariably takes the club
straight back from the ball without
any body movement. This pushes
his arm away from his body in the
position shown in the accompanying
sketch. Once the arms get away
from the body then trouble begins
accommodating for the player, He has
little control over them. Usually
slice results because his body, not
wound up by the pivot, tends to

How are we to know that q

lists? What are the signs Of a
broken arm or legY
First cf all, a shortening of the
limb may be- noted. This may be
evidence at first glance o: when
the injured part is compared with
the uninjured one.
The broken limb hangs limp
and the patient is unable TO use
it or move it and. in the case of
a leg, he cannot support his weight
upon it.
Pain may not always be present
when the affected part is allowed
to rest. But the pain lis usually
very severe when the patient him.
self or someone else attempts to
move the limb.
At the place where the bone is
broken there Is unusual move
broken part is firmly grasped and
moved one often can feel a sort
of grating as the broken bone
ends rub against each other.
Lastly, swelling is likely to de-
velop quickly, the Inflammation
making the injured part very
sensitive.
To be sure, 1t is always best
not to take any chances and to
hurry the patient to an emerg.
ency hospital as speedily as pos.
s1bie. But IL fracture is pres.
ent it is best to support the in.
Jured member with proper spliuts
so that the tissues surrounding
the break may not be torn and
damaged any more than is alb.
solutely unavoidable.
Accident cases, therefore. should
not be allowed to take care of
themselves to rise and walk and,
IN effect, to pass judgment upon
the extent or seriousness of their
own injuries. Often an accident
involves injuries other than
broken bones which are not evil
dent at first, but which develop
later on.
Every accident case should, for
this reason alone. be thoroughly
gone over by a physician.
In applying a splint TO a dam
aged arm or leg let one person
take charge and let him take a
position on the outer side of. the
affected part, grasping firmly
with each hand above and below
the fracture, then raising the
limb gently. trying always TO
preserve the shape OF the normal
limb.
For temporary splints one must
use what happens to be available.
Umbrellas are excellent, but
newspapers folded lengthwise may
be employed If pieces of wood are
not at hand. All splints, how
ever, must be fastened securely
else they are useless. The object
OF the splint is to keep the in.
iured limb fixed and motionless
so that further injury may not
occur.
