WRAP INJURY
TIGHTLY IN
BANDAGES
By BABE RUTH

Here's Doc Painter, our trainer,
giving Mac" the lowdown on the
most common and at the same
time the most dangerous of all kid
injuries-sprains and strains.
There's no need telling how
these injuries are incurred. Most
kids know. Slipping, turning an
ankle, making bad slide-any
one of thousand different things
: may bring them. And since they
are purely accidental there's no
. rule for avoiding them for kids
who like to play and play hard.
So the thing to consider is treat
ment. Here are a few rules:
In any case of strain or Spraln
the first thing is an ice pack.
Get the ice pack on the injury
just as soon as possible and keep
, it there. If it's a severe strain or
sprain those cold applications
should continue for "a hours, with
the patient entirely quiet and rest
!, full. After the first "a hours an
alternate application of hot and
cold is advisable.
In case of a minor strain,
put on the hot application
for q time, then work the
injury lightly, but always un-
der bandages. Naturally the
bandage is important on all
strains and SprainS and the
sooner it is placed there the
better.
With sprains or strains there
Is very likely to be severe swell
ing. The ice pack followed by
the hot and cold applications is
beneficial in reducing swelling
and inflammation. Even in case
Of severe swelling it is advisable
to bandage Immediately and
tightly before applying the ice.
If the injury continues to swell
the bandage can be looSened
from time to time for comfort,
but it should always be kept on.
Bandaging sprainS isn't always
easy. Frequently they are hard
to get to and hard to wrap. In
putting on a bandage remember
always that the idea of a band
= age is to support the injured
a members without hampering
movement. Too many people
think a bandage should be put
on so as to stop all motion and
make an injured joint rigid. !
That's wrong. If the joint needs
to be kept right then splint is
uSed-or a hard bandage-but a |
soft bandage is only to give sup |
port and at the same time permit |
movement. |
In the picture, Doc Painter is
applying q figure eight band
age to supposedly sprained
ankle. Notice that the bandage
is being wrapped tightly to
give the ankle perfect support,
yet is being open at the heel
and joint to permit of move
ment. That's the idea with all |
bandageS.
In Sprains and strains as in
other injuries it is important to
give treatment as soon as pos.
Sible, and always see a reputable |
trainer or physician. More young
Sters are permanently injured
through treatment by bungling
amateurs or home remedies than
you would imagine. And remem.
Der too, particularly as concerns
youngsters. Their bone and mus
cles and tendons are undevelop-
ed and an injury that an adult
could throw off quickly, may, if
not properly cared for, result in
permanent harm to a youngster
through mal-formation, distortion,
or improper healing.

The improvement was rapid.

It was apparent to all keen OBJ
with Whichone during the first
servers that something was wrong
mile sof the mile and half route
of the struggle for the Belmont.
He was laSt-and a bad last dur
ing that stage of the race. Many
thought that his Chicle blood was
asserting itself for the first time.
He had always been a true run
ming colt and not temperamental
like his sire, Chicle.
But in the Belmont he had to
be hard ridden to overhaul QueS-
tionnaire and Swinfield, two colts
that can't make him sweat, good
as they are, when he is all right.
Many thought that he favored
one of his legs on his return to
the scales after Gallant Fox had
easily beaten him home.
Soon after the race for the Bel
mont and while in preparation for
The Dwyer, he split his hoof-a

that caused him to put up the

REPAIRING TIE FENCES

The congressman are said to be
anxious to get back home so as to
make needed repairs on their politi-
cal fences" These fences are not
of very lasting quality now Ameri-
can democracy does not "stay
hitched." You may think you have
the flock of voters all safely round
ed up, and then all at once some gap
will be found in these fences, and
over the flock will go.
And as years go on, the flock be-
comes more and more unmanageable.
Old style methods of repairing
fences do not CO. Formerly a man
could nail down his rails with the
fasteners known as party regular
ity. The voters were either Repub-
licans or Democrats, and it seemed
like going back on their religion or
their country to knock Il rail out of
that fence and jump over.
But today that particular form of
construction has lost its binding
power. The flock will quickly kick
it out of the way, if they feel it holds
them back from some good feed in
the next filed.
The aspiring politician asks how
he can build his fences so firmly
that the voters will have no desire to
jump them? Well, it is doubtful if
these fences are ever as important
in the future. A flock of sheep may
be kept at home not so much by the
height of the fences, as by the fact
that the feed is so good at home
that it has no desire to jump. A well
fed animal is too cOntented to care
for adventures.
The ambitious politician would not
better think so much how he can
keep his fences high and tight, as
how he can produce such good condi-
tions among the people through
faithful service, and application Of
good business judgment, that the vot-
ers will cease looking longingly
through his fence rails. Perhaps in
time they may not need any fences
at all.

OUR BUSINESS CENTER

While there is some regular drift
of people from the farms into the
manufacturing towns and large cit
les, communities of the type Of Mil
ford are as whole holding their
own. A great many of them, as the
result of public spirited and active
plans for development, are going
anead
It is a very vital matter to the
country that such communities
should be successful. They consti-
tute agencies of the utmost value
fcl the development OF the sur
funding country. Cities and towns
like ours are ideal places in which
to live. They are big enough so
there .is a chance, if people have u
reasonable dsgfee Of activity, for an
interesting life. And yet they have
space enough so that people can
have comfortable and healthful
Ecmes.
Young people brought up in a
town like ours grow up under the
most favorable conditions which
they can expect to have 1t is for
the interest of all our people and
for all of the surrounding country,
Il at such communities should pros
per and grow.
When towns like ours are active
ard prosperous, they assemble a
group of people who maintain mod
ern life at high level, They pro-
vide business leadership which helps
every industry i'll the district. Their
stores offer the products of the
world, with low charges for selling
costs. Their civic organizations sup
plv energy that promotes boOd gov
eminent and good educational and
recreational facilities.
If our people here in Milford and
Tie surrounding territory, want this
community to be a center of modern
progressive and helpful influences,
of the conveniences and advantages
OF up-to-date civilization, they must
sHend their money at home, where
it will work to build up the facili-
ties that we need to compete with
the world.

RED CROSS WILL HELP

Since automobile accidents last
year took the lives of $1,000 people
and injured 100000 of them, the
Red Cross is going to establish emer-
goncy stations along many highways
where accidents have been frequent,
with first aid outfits and arrange
ments for the proper care of injured
people.
This service will save lives and
much suffering, and it is noble
manifestation of philanthropic ac-
tivity. At the same time, since these
accidents are usually due to some
ones carelessness, it seems a pity
that people have to create conditions
where such a service seems neces-
sary. What many motorists need is
first aid treatment for their brains.

CATCHING THE GUNMEN

In starting a campaign to appre-
hend the slayer of Jake" Lingle,
Chicago Tribune reporter, the news
papers of that city offered rewards
totalling at this writing $55,OOO. That
gives an idea of the way to get at
the desperate gangsters of the un-
derworld. These fellows have many
facilities for escaping after commit
ting one of their foul deeds, but the
power of money moves faster than
any fast automobile.
Any city that is plagued by pest
of gunner, should be able to get rid
Of them by Offering sufficient money
rewards. Someone in every such
case, knows who committed that
crime, and such information has a
way of spreading. Someone would
usually leak, if enough money was
offered.

THE COMING FOURTH

The Fourth of July will soon be
here. And, according to the prece-
dent set in otner years, it will leave
behind a toll OF destroyed lives and
property dL9 t. carelessness with
fireworks.
Fireworks, except when used un-
der proper conditions by experts, are
a great fire hazard. Blindness, lock-
jaw, mangled limbs, fatal clothing
burns, property damage and Grip
pied bodies have always followed
Fourth of July celebrations.
Many cities, and few states, have
prohibited the use of fireworks eX-
cept in supervised public displays
under permit from the proper au-
thOrities. It is unfortunate that our
time-honored manner of enjoying
the Fourth must be restricted-but
conditions in our modern crowded
cities are such that to promiscuously
allow the use of fireworks is to court
injury, death and destruction of
property.
Children, especially, are endan-
gered. Not a single Fourth has
passed without a tragic waste OF
young lives throughout the country.
Make the Fourth "safe and sane.
And when fireworks are used every
possible precaution should be taken
to guard against misadvsnture.

AUCTIONS

In these days when people move
so frequently from town to town, and
cften move very long distances, auc-
tions OF household furniture, farm
tools, ETC., are q common feature. 1t
is quite an art to run one of these af-
fairs successfully, and get all the
value that an owner should obtain.
It is often very distressing to a
property owner to see his valued be-
longings go for song. He has a
feeling of humiliation, that fine and
substantial pieces of furniture, dear
to him from long associations, often
related to bis family history and tell
ing a story of events of his childhood,
are swept off to some gloating bar
gain hunter for very few dollars.
Admitting a horde of curious peo-
pie to your cherished home, is bad
enough for sensitive folks. If the
stuff also goes for next to nothing,
l. is kind of added humiliation.
The first secret of holding a sue
cessful auction, is to advertise it
thoroughly. There are always plenty
of people who will pay good prices
for good stuff at these events, if they
can be induced to attend them. Peo-
pie sometimes think that old furni-
ture has little cash value, when the
reason why they can't get good
prices is that they have not made
proper efforts to sell it. They may
have gone to one or two dealers who
are loaded up with just that kind of
thing, and could not afford to buy
thing more in that line unless they
got it at a great sacrifice.
But if these owners can advertise
such an affair so thoroughly that
dealers and citizens who want what
they have to sell, can be attracted to
come and bid, then such stuff often
brings very satisfactory prices. Dol
lars saved in failure to advertise
such stuff usually mean a big loss
in proceeds. There is always some
one who wants a good piece Of furni-
ture or a useful farm tool, if only he
X Informed about it.

KEEPING UP

The success of anything depends
largely on the impression it creates
in a certain general way, as to
whether it keeps up with the times.
Is he or it up to date? That is the
question people ask. They have lit
tls federation for anyone or anything
that seems below standard.
Every town is thus judged. Com
munities are subjected to unfair
criticism. There is always super
critical element. They hnd fault
because their home town lacks this
OF that modern feature. But more
than half the time that particular
feature is not commonly possessed
by towns of the same type. They
look at some city about 10 times as
big, and then find fault because
their own community lacks things
that that much wealthier place has
been able to get.
The bigger city has certain ad-
vantages peculiar to towns of its
type, but it has corresponding disad-
vantages that go with bignsss, which
these knockers fail to speak of.
The American people are full of
the spirit of competition, and they
dislike to be identified with anything
that seems to be falling behind.
When they all drove horses they
hated to drag along behind an "Old
plug" as the slow family hOTse used
to be called. Today they dislike
equally to be seen in an automobile
which they feel unworthy of their
standard. They dislike town where
there is nothing doing" and where
the general appearance of things is
declining.
But if you can persuade the peo-
pie of a town to clean up, make
their home and business places more
attractive, you accomplish wonders
in improving the morale of the town.
Those who talked of moving away
become more contented. The town
seems to have a future, its people
talk hopefully, and things seem to
move.

WEDDING GIFTS

The popular month for weddings
is as usual this year leading to a
generous outpouring of gifts for the
young folks now entering matri-
mony. However grouchy people may
be about their expenses, the money
fer wedding presents always seems
tG come. The news that this or that
couple is about to marry, has most
marvellous effect to loosen up the
pursestrings.
1t is a generous instinct that leads
people to make these offerings, from
which in most cases they, expect no
return. It signifies bow much
friendship and ties of kindred mean
tt people.
Young people who receive so many
tangible expressions of affection, can
feel that the community trusts them
tc make fine home. A matrimonial
explosion a year or two after such
an outpouring of good will, is an
il glorious anti-climax But usually
the young folks who receive all these
tokens can be depended upon to Gre
ate a suitable setting for such ex-
I1essions OF friendship.
Milford chronicle., 1930-06-20
SUMNER CLOTHING

About this time is heard the an
nual argument as to why the men
have to suffer from wearing heavy
clothing, much of it wooden, through
tie hot weather, when the women
folks are luxurlating in their flimsy
Summer garb, abbreviated and
sleeveless and all that.
Medical authorities tell us to wear
as little clothing as we can consis-
tent with decency in summer, and
they feel that heavy garments have
Il depressing effect on physical con-
dition in a warm season. The wom-
en- folks follow that good counsel all
right, but millions of men still drag
around in heavy clothes that make
the summer season 100 per cent
V orse.
1t is all rather foolish, consider
ing how amply the clothing produc-
ers during recent years have pro-
v;ded light weight garments for men,
which are so much better adapted to
the season.
While the women are free to wear
their low necked waists, not many
men have courage to say, Il wear no
mans collar" In former years
many of them would wear high
starched and pointed collars through
the hottest weather, but the modern
soft collar is at least a great relief
from that extreme.
In so far as custom requires the
men to wear their cOap8 on hot
day, they have q genuine grievance,
and one against which they should
r.se in rebellion. The wife, who
dressed in her cool decollete style,
tells her husband that he must keep
lis coat on, would seem to be carry
ing feminine empire too far. The
men pride themselves on their indie
pendence, and deride the women for
to the style makers. Yet
they keep on tamely submitting to
tile coat wearing custom through
the hot days, and wipe their swelter-
ing brows in discomfort. They
should declare ultimatums against
such foolish conventions, and come
out in shirt waist style for comfort
and health

loss OF HOME TRADE

While any community must expect
that its business will go pretty slow,
if large part of its people buy their
merchandise elsewhere, this distant
buying frequently occurs because
the trade of the home people has
not been solicited with sufficient
persistence.
In most towns there are merchants
wLo grow eloquent in crfticizing
people who buy goods in distant
cities. But such criticizing does not
land the trade of these people. The
way to get that trade is to initiate
the methods of the mail order houses
and big city stores. That trade has
been thus drawn by advertising. And
advertising in the home town paper
will get it back. 1t will make the
home stores look just as attractive
as the distant ones.

Milford, Friday, June 20, 1880

The epidemic of safe robberies in
lower Delaware and Maryland dur
ing the past few weeks brings forcib-
" to the residents of this section
the need of safe repositories for their
valuables. A deed, will, insurance
policies or family heirlooms are too
valuable to trust to the whims OF
thieves who might leave them, or
might destroy them in their effort
to escape discovery and arrest. Mil
ford is blessed with two banks, each
having modern vaults and safe de-
posits amply protected from these
rowing invaders. 1t will be well for
Milford citizens to investigate the
facilities offered by these banks to
the end that they may safeguard pa
pers and articles of value.
