Fracture of Bone Is a Break

has gotten between the parts of the
bone, this can not be done without
opening the tissues.
In cases of compound fracture,
which are those in which the tissues
are broken open. there is the added
danger Of infection from an I'M
clean, open wound.
Some forms Of fracture are so
common that special names have
been given to them to commemorate
the men who first classified them.
There is a common fracture of the
wrist, due to backfiring or revers-
ing Of the crank of a gasoline mo-
tor. There are fractures at the ell
bow due to falling on the tip.
Some of the types of fracture
most difficult to determine are those
Of small bones of the foot or of the
spine, which do not incapacitate the
person Immediately, but which lead
to serious pains and disabilities
later
The most certainly important
thing to know about fracture is
just exactly what kind of a fracture
it is.

suffered breaking of bone, either
of a small part, or cracking into the
bone or breaking the bone into two
parts, the most important thing is
to find out exactly the nature and
extent of the injury.
Through his study of similar cases
the competent surgeon can tell a
great deal by his examination of the
part, studying its movements,
sounds, amount and character Of
swelling and shortening or length
ening of tissues and amount Of dis
tortion.
However, the most exact informa-
ton is to be obtained by the use OF
the X-ray, and it is by far the safest
procedure in case of fracture to
have the X-ray plate made as soon
as possible.
The first step in the correction Of
the injury is to put the parts OF the
bone together again as nearly as
possible as they were before. This
is called setting the fracture.

or because a portion of the tissues

Dodoing Reality


The World not too horrible an experience
for millions of private soldiers of all armies-the raw
material out OF which are made-to live through
it and beyond 1t.
But it appears that it was too coarse and horrible
for United States citizens to be permitted to read
about unless the worst portions are expurgated or
treated with lavender antiseptic
A young German, who endured the eternity of the
war as frontne soldier, has told about it in book
which has attracted wide attenton-"An Quiet on the
Western Front"
But the United States isn't reading that book. It
is reading refined and expurgated version.
The American publisher. doubtless with one eye
on censors. removed from the English translation
many passages and whole pages In so doing, &C
cording to competent critics. he took away much Of
the impact Of the book on the readers mind Scenes
almost meaningless in the American version are full
of pity and horror in the English version.
There has been steady demand in this country
for the English version which is sold freely in Can
ada The ever-vigilant censors in the customs serv
ice now are stopping its importation Thirty copies
have been seized in Chicago
The censors are using the tariff law as their au-
thorty to stop Importation of the book obscene
literature"
It seems too bad that the people of the United
states some millions OF whom shared his experiences
can not be permitted to read about the war as it
appeared to this young German.

1T SEEMS TO ME By H BRoUT

because he is the first mayor of
New York who ever called me by my
first name.
1t is quite true that Jimmy does
the same for everybody else. but
even SO, look upon it as touch
of neighborliness much needed in
our beehive.
Reformers should fare better in
municipal elections. 1t is rather
foolish for city voters to neglect so
shamefully the more efficient men
who run for local office
But the good men, who go down
to defeat before the hand shakers,
are not always wholly blameless.
There is no essential reason why
reform should invariably be so dour
and forbidding. Efficient men have
an unpleasant trick of remembering
musty ordinances.
A reform mayor might close all
the speakeasies instead of just
few and interfere with motion pic
ture shows on Sunday. If efficiency
means a straight-laced town, then
I would be much inclined to bear
with Jimmy Walkers foibles.

MANY of our best citizens are
I've outraged at the growing prob
ability that Jimmy Walker once
more will be the mayor of New York.
I can not go the whole journey with
them in indignation.
Walker does not seem to me an
ideal candidate, but I have heard
no compelling name mentioned by
those on the other side, and you
can't beat somebody with nobody.
Never would undertake to argue
that our city executive bulks above
the lightweight class, but those who
classify him as a bantam err in
nicely of appraisal.
It seems to me that James j.
Walker has carried on one-half OF
his Job most admirably, and in all
truth the mayoralty is two positions
ineptly rolled into one.
When there is need of an official
representative to greet a queen,
channel swimmer or chess cham
pion then Jimmy Walker is by every
right the man.

Fifth: Reproduction This is one of the most I'M

cardinal principle of modern biology that life arises

perhaps is the explanation of the origin and appeal

Seventh: Irritability and conductvity. Sometimes
called response to stimuli In complex organisms

One Senator 8 Secrecy

Now comes word from Washington that
Senator Arthur Robinson has informed the
White House that he has candidate for the
place on the federal court Of appeals from
which Judge Anderson has resigned.
The junior senator amazes the satellites Of
Senator Watson by departing from the usual
procedure Of agreeing on patronage and, so it
IS SAID, proposes to urge his own selection upon
the White House without regard to the wishes
Of Watson.
From political standpoint that is sacrilege,
but it may be inspired by thought of self
preservation or possibly to a tip that Watson
is NOT as powerful as once he was.
The important part Of the announcement is
not that the two senator's from the state may
disagree ON the man they would like to give
this place but that Robinson Will keep his pref
erenee a secret from every one except the at
torneF- general and the President.
The secrecy should be sufficient, even if
there are no other reasons to exclude the Rob
inson entry from any consideration. a recon-
mendation that can not stand the light of
public discussion is suspicious, at least
If the senator has in mind a lawyer who
would appeal to the public as worthy Of conf
dence, one who would bring honor to the state
and confidence to the court, he would not hest
tate to loudly proclaim his name in order that
public opinion would be brought to bear upon
the President in his behalf
A candidate whose name must be held
secret from the people whose interests might be
intrusted to his judgment needs investigation.
The federal courts are becoming more I'M
portant as the federal government takes over
more and more jurisdiction The whole tenden-
cy is TO- make these courts more powerful. The
appointment of a new Judge is serious as he
holds the position for Life. Only the rankest
misconduct can remove him. once he is named
The attitude of the senators on this matter
is such as to dscredit their activities. They
discuss the matter when they talk at all, as
though these judgeships were political in char
acter and to be dispensed as is other political
patronage.
Every suggestion for this place on the bench
should have the widest publicity Citizens
should be able to protest, if they know of any
reason why any suggested candidate Is unfit
and unworthy. They should have the chance
10 petition the President, if there be one who
is so outstanding as to make his selection above
others most desirable.
Let it be hoped that when the junior SEN
ator whispers 10 the President, he will receive
the consideration which secrecy in such an I'M
portant matter deserves.
When that name is presented. it should be
scratched from the list of possibilities. Secret
selections are always suspicious.

OLD IRoNsIDEs" ESCAPES
July 18

TT was on July 18, 1912, that the
4 United States forty-four gun
trigate, the Constitution, lovingly
called Old Ironsides and preserved
today as the most priced relic Of the
United States navy. escaped from
the British fleet after a three days
chase of the New Jersey coast.
From this escape, which seemed
an inpossibility at the time, Old
Ironsides went on to naval history.
1t was shortly after evading the
British squadron that the Constitu-
tion-Guerriere engagement took
place of Cape Race. And in sue
fceeding naval battles she defeated
the Java, Picton, Cyane, Levant
and other British vessels.
1t was mainly through the nation
wide interest attached to her vic
tories that talk Of secession at the
time died down.
After lying, rorting away, at the
Boston navy yard for many yeas,
a fund Of 100000 was raised in
campaign TO save "Old Ironsides."
And the vessel. nearly century
and a half old. went back to the
dry docks for repairs.

Labor and the Tariff

II is customary to assume that the protective tariff

70 protect him against the "pauper labor OF other

High tariff and high wages in some minds are

hasn't very much basis IN fact David J. Lewis, for

has been making study Of the subject for the
