MISSOURI FLOODS STILL THREATEN
Citizens Army Fighting to Build Up LeYes

kennett. Mo-. June 1s.-tP-un- relenting in the battle against the rampaging St. Francis river. which has driven thousand families from their homes in southeast Missouri, a citizens army pushed its strength against 6oo-ioot leIee seven miles above the newest creVasse and early today apparently had won a skirnish from the river,
 The total area submerged by water pouring through three crevasses in two days was approximately hun drcd thousand acres. Damage to crops and farms was estimated be- tween million and half and two million dollars.
 The present goal is to save 25,- o"o acre expanse protected by the smaller levee. which has been bol- stercd several times since it was swept out by the 1927 floods, This section lies be- tween the Cotton Belt rail- road tracks and Crowley's ridge. west of Campbell and just north Of the Arkansas line. It is seven miles upstream from the creNasse which developed Sunday morning inundat- ing 75.o0o acres
 Warned by their experiences with previous floods. residents Of this section fled before the levees gave way and no casualties have been re- ported.
 Every available worker in the dis trict was recruited to fight the third crest which penetrated the buIWarks, and although wearied by the eleven hour day battle. men of all walks of life, from section hand to banker, joined in the new fight to save their homes and lands.
 Estimates place the number Of workers at 5000, many of them en- gagged in relief work.
 Newport, Ark, June lS.--Pl- Heavy rains along the Little Red, Black and other tributaries of the White river added to Arkansas flood worries today. Engineers said they could moi determine before night, however, whether serious new rise threatened.
 While 4",o"o acres m Jackson county were under water owing to a break in the Stephens levee, 1o miles south of here, 19 inch fall in the river relieved danger of a levee break on the St. Francis. at Nim- mons, Ark. nine miles below where a second break occurred near Ken nett, Mr., yesterday.
 The creNasSe at Stephens and ono at Jacksonport, together with a fall- ing stage. had relieved the upper reaches of the White to some extent. and efforts were concentrated today at Jackson Bayou lcvee, about 24 miles south Of Newport. The crest Will not arrive there before 4S hours, and government engineers hoped to raise the embankment a foot or more above the expected top level in that time.

FRACTURES AND BROK EN-
RONES

Fractures of broken bones should
always be treated by doctor or sur
geon but, as usually neither is at
hand at the time Of the accident, it
is important that the layman know
how to recognize a broken bone and
how to set it that the injured person
may be transported safely.
A broken bone may be recognized
by the presence of severe pain and
deformity of the part from its nor
NAL shape, being sometimes bent
where no bend should be. The
muscles about a broken bone usually
contract, making it hard or impos-
sible for the injured person to
move the part. In addition there
may be grating, crepitous sound as
the result Of the two ends of the
broken bone rubbing together, or
broken piece of bone may actually
appear through the skin.
Unless the doctor has the neces-
sary X-ray equipment, he has to
trust to his sense of touch for re-
storing the bones to the proper posi-
tio1. but because the shape of some
Of the bones is not always easily
distinguished and because some pa
tients have so much flesh the latter
is not always an accurate method.
Whenever it is possible doctors en-
ploy the X-ray. With this method
the exact position and shape
Of the break can be easily as
certained. 1t is even possible to OBJ
serve cracks or splits in the bone
that could not possibly be determined
with the fingers. With the use Of
the X-ray, too, the doctor can see if
he has succeeded in restoring the
bone to its proper place.
There are five general types of
fractures: The incomplete or "green-
stick fracture, where some of the
bone fibres have been broken but
most of them merely bent; the COM
plete fracture, where the bone is
broken in two; the compound frac-
ture where the bone is not only
broken but part sticks out through
the skin; the impacted fracture
where the two ends of the bone are
driven into each other; and the COM
minuted fracture where the bone is
shattered into small pieces.
The first handling of the injured
person is most important because if
one is not careful a simple fracture
may become very serious compound
fracture which is much more danger
GUS and hard to heal.
The broken ends of bones are
sharp and the muscles, being con-
tracted, tend to pull them past each
other SO that arteries, veins or nerves
may be cut by any movement.
A splint should be applied as soon
as possible to the sides of the frac-
ture lengthwise Of the injured bone.
This will prevent movement of the
break during the transportation Of
the injured person to a place where
he can be cared for.
Splints may consist of any stiff
material such as strips of wood,
small branches or bundles of twigs,

IN NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 19.-Perhaps this
could happen in some other place
than Manhattan. But doubt it!
A few days after the murder of
Arnold Rothstein, king of the New
York gamblers, a newspaper printed
a large photograph showing deck
of marked playing cards. It was
with such cards, so the paper
claimed, that Rothstein was "gypped"
in big poker game. Believing he
had been party to a "fixed" game, it
was said that the gambler had hesi-
tated about paying up.
At any rate, while walking down
Broadway the day after this pho
tograph appeared, I noticed a num-
Der Of copies Of the newspaper page
pasted on the window of q magic
and trick" store in the early Fifties.
And just above them was a huge
sign, reading: "Cards just like these
can be bought here for $1.75."
The nerve Of thus candidly boast
ing over the trade in crooked and
shady devices is a constant challenge
to the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of the average
visitor.
Yet watched thousands of pedes-
TRANS as they looked at the sign,
smiled cynically, shrugged shoulders,
and moved on.

rehearsals for an individual have

THE FUNCTION OF A UNIVERSITY
baskerville Timesl

When DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler discusses political
issues he must perforce sharp dissent and that
even within his own party. Speaking the nature
OF university, the home for freedom Of thought as
place for the preservation, advancement and dissem
nation Of knowledge President Butler is at his best
and wins the assent Of all thoughtful minds.
Such discourse DR.. Buffers address on 1.-The
University Habit last Wednesday, the occasion of
the opening exercises Of Columbia's 175th year.
The university" he said lis the natural home of
those highly trained and eager minds who aim to adj
vance knowledge The divine curiosity which lies at
the base Of ell intellectual progress is the unverstys
driving force"
But what Of the sometimes strange the occasionally
fantastic theories the unconventional utterances that
come forth from universities? Persons not compre-
hendng the true character Of university frequently
ask if university Stands for" the unorthodox ideas
expressed by university folk.
The answer DR.. Butler gives it. is that what the
university Stands for is full freedom to discuss diff
cult and disputed problems asking only that the dis
cussion be free from bgory intolerance and
ton and marked by. courtesy and good manners.
so set il the majority Of mankind in conventional
ways Of thinking and in the support Of conventional
beliefs that any departure from these seems to sound
an alarm"

high hill to cast its rays into what too often seems
to Be the mpenetrable encircling gloom.

AFTER MUssOLINI THE

christian Science Montor)
Benito Mussolin has taken action to meet the
hitherto unanswerabe criticism of the system of
government he has given to Italy This criticism is
that dictatorship cannot last forever and that chaos
is liable to arise whenever in the course of nature it
comes to end. This applies whether the dictator
ship be good evil. It is admitted alike by those whc
with George Bernard Shaw, hail the duce as a great
ruler who "does get things done diligently for the
public benefit and by those who, with Signor Nitti
denounce him the author of "a vast prison where
there is no more laughter and more life" The
action Sgnor Mussolini has taken is to constitute
grand council Supreme Organ of the state which
to form and keep in readiness list of suitable sue
cessors to himself for appointment by the king when
occasion requires.
1t cannot now be foretold whether the arrangement
will work when the need for it arises whether with
such prize the absolute overlordshp Of 100000
people in sight, there will then state of disorder
comparable to that of the Wars of the Roses in fiji
teenth-century England. The fact nevertheless re-
mains that system has been set up which, if self
continuing like elected chamber at least provides
some guarantee that Italy will not be without
nized duce when Mussolini is no longer there.

AN ECCENTRIC PRESIDENT

President Irgoyen of Argentina continues to uphold
his reputation for political eccentricity During the
whole of his presidential campaign he did not make
single speech public announcement On election
day. after having cast his vote-for Argentine
citizen risks day in Jail if he stays away from the
polls-he remained home and read the classics. On
occasion Of his Inauguration, which took place last
Friday, he motored swiftly from the capitol to the
government house, allowing hardly passing glimpse
Of him to the thousands who lined the streets He did
appear for moment balcony at the government
house confirming the fact that he is actually man
of flesh and blood Despite his cloak of invisbility
perhaps even because Of it-Presdent 1rigoyen is a

In addition to telling all about
how spies work and the kind of
people they really are, Rowan re-
views their world war activities
and gives case histories of some of
the most famous. He estimates
that about $4,000 spies were in the
field during the ,'ar, all liable to
death penalty. But he says that not
more than a thousand were killed,
either before a i ing squad or less
formally, and he compares the
death rate among war spies, 2.22
per cent, with that of 1888 among
the 45,000,000 troops on all fronts
available for combat.

DEFECTIVE HEARING

A bulletin from the Chldrens Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor announces that survey
shows that 10 per cent Of the school children Of the
United States have measurable defects of hearing
To relieve the situation, there is recommended a
uniformdaw in all states and cities requiring annual
examination of the hearing of all school Children with
eventually the opening Of clinics in all schools.
Probably it will be good many years before such
laws be passed. In the meantime, each parent
do his part. The expense of having doctor
examine childs hearing is neglible; and doing so
may save the child an untold amount of unhappiness
in future years.
