$4,675 GIVEN TO
Community CHEST
Directors Of Campaign Hope to
Raise Quota of $1,000
in Annual Drive

Announcement that $4,647.75 has
poured into the Community Chest in
its 1882 campaign for funds was
made at noon Wednesday by H. P.
Goddard, secretary of the Associa-
ton of Commerce.
Many of the business and profess
slonal men who are acting as solicit
tors have not yet reported, however,
and it was too early for drive direc-
tors to predict whether or not the
quota of $ll, 900 would be reached.
Goddard said that it was hoped
that the entire allotment under the
years budget would be raised but
that the ground would have to be
covered thoroughly before any def
mite announcements could be made.
Solicitors reported that many con-
trlbutors were cutting down their do
nations this year while others had
voluntarily increased the amount of
their customary contributions.
The annual drive got under way
here Monday morning when groups
OF canvassers representing the citys
service clubs, the Association of
Commerce and other civic organiza-
tons started campaign to cover the
city.
1t is hoped that the work of the
drive will be wound up within the
next few days, Goddard said.

Claim HOOdlums
Running School

Chicago, Nov. %. -R-V Verbal
charges that "hoodlum terrorism"
prevails at the J. Sterling Morton
nigh school in suburban Cicero,
were made Wednesday.
They came from 5000 pupils
and more than 100 members of
the faculty, but were promptly
denied by Frank A. Svoboda,
president of the Cicero Board of
Education.
The Chicago Tribune said that
40 men, paid at the rate of $140 a
month, were patrolling the corri-
doris Of the school, which covers
an entire city block, and that they
claimed they were on duty to
maintain discipline.
The complaints said a revolt
against the board of education
was in progress, and a circular
signed by the Morton Protective
association" was distributed read
ing in part:
THE next time house dick
snatches anything from you out
OF your hands, curses you, or
makes any insulting remark to

FATHER Stag SPEAKS|
AT ROTARY MEETINC|
Says Thanksgiving Day Has
Deep Significance For Peo-
pie of United States

Thanksgiving Day is essentially and
distinctly an American institution,
Very Rev. Father John A. H. Stag
said in an address before the Bis
marck Rotary club Wednesday noon.
It is day which the people of this
nation set aside for devotion and
thanksgiving to God and to the re-
generation of the spirit of the home
and family.
To fully appreciate the significance
Of the holiday in the United States, 1t
is necessary to hearken back to the
first Thanksgiving of the Pilgrim
fathers, the speaker said. In spite of
the dire hardshipS of that frontier
period, the Pilgrim colony did not for
get to express its thanks to Almighty
God. With true Christian spirit those
early Americans gave thanks for the
few bounties which had been heaped
upon them and forgot their enmity
for the Indians in community cclebra-
ton.
No other festival except Christmas
has as much significance as Thanks
giving in America, the speaker said.
There are more ancient days for
Thanksgiving among nations of the
earth but none has more significance
that the national holiday in the Unit
ed States.
AS long as the president, governors
Of states and others in high author
ity continue to issue proclamationS in
the United States, there need be no
fear of lack of worship on Thanks
giving among the people Of this coun-
try. Father Stag said.
Introducing the speaker at the
was c. c. Larsen, program
chairman.
Two vocal solos, "Thora" and
Thank God for 4 Garden" was sung
by George Hackctt with Miss Grace

Kiwanians' Amusing Contest Is
Feature At Ladies Night

Night" party held at the Grand Pa.
cific hotel.
The event marked the end Of ar
attendance contest between the
Blue Point Guzzlers" and the Hitch
Hikers," led by j. L. Barth and o. v
Bowman, respectively, but which
group won was not determined.
The argument started Nov. Is
when each side professed to be dis
satisfied with the computations on
the contest and James Morris, as
referee, decided the race was dead
locked.
Morris presented the matter to
Judge John Burke, who served as
chairman of the party Tuesday night
and as arbiter Of the contest. He
satisfied both sides by ruling that
the board of directors, rather than
the "GuzzlerS" or the "Hikers," would
have to pay for the dinner.
In his speech Burke paid tribute
to Morris, who will retire soon as
attorney general and who will open
law office in jamestown, express
ing the hope that he would some day
return and again be a member of the
local Kiwanis club.
Later Judge Burke introduced the
club member who, he said, has a
better understanding of women than
any other, to give toast to the
ladies. This turned out to be Gov
ernor George F. Shafer, who re-
sponded with a humorous address.
Mrs. F. H. Waldo, wife of the XII
wants club president, responded
briefly on behalf of the women.
Club singing was led by j. P. wag-

HOUSEMAID'S KNEE Is NOT so
FUNNY

Seems the funny papers are less
interested in housemaid's knee than
they were formerly, or else house,
maids are taking more care Of their
knees nowadays.
Upon or in front of the patella
(knee cap) there is q wee bag or sac
of fluid called bursa, which serves
as pad or cushion in case you
should ever kneel. Inflammation of
this prepatellar bursa is the condi-
ton known as 'housemaid's knee"
Any injury to the tip of the knee, or
prolonged pressure or friction there
may cause the bursitis. Finishing
floors, working in the garden, or any
job in which one remains consid-
cradle time on one or both knees,
without care to use comfortable
cushion, subjects the bursa to irrita-
ton. Scrubbing floors on the knees
isn't done any more except in the
movies where the heroine's meteoric
ascension or innate graciousness must
be registered.
Prepatellar bursitis manifestS it
self as large rounded tense swelling
in front of the patella or knee cap,
filled with thick fluid. Tenderness
and redness complete the classical
picture of inflammation-calor, dolor,
rubor, tumor-heat, pain, redness and
swelling.
The knee must be kept at rest,
half bent, in we'll padded splint or
sling. Ice bags or evaporating lotions
best oppose the inflammation at
first; later hot moist dressings or a
poultice will give more relief When
much fluid is present it should be
drawn off through a needle.
Sometimes puS accumulates in the
bursa, and that requires incision and
drainage.
In few cases the acute inflamma-
ton subsidies under such treatment,
but the trouble does not clear up en-
tirely, and some slight swelling,
thickening and soreness or tenderness
remains. This is chronic bursitis and
calls for different treatment.
An occasional painting of the skin
surrounding the knee cap with iodin
is advisable, that is, a ring two inches
wide, but no iodin directly upon the
point of the knee. Once in 10 days is
sufficient for this.
When there is no longer sharp pain
or tenderness gentle massage for a
few minutes several times a day is
helpful. Grasp the knee with the
hand and squeeze the skin and soft
tissues over the bone repeatedly. as
though wringing them out.
If the trouble drifts along for more
than six weeks the bursa should be
surgically removed and new pad of
fat substituted if there is sufficient
simultaneous fat near the wound to
make flap.
1t is interesting to note that the
chief cause of pain and disability in
bunion is inflammation of the bursa
over the head of the metatarsal bone
of the great toe.
These are only few samples OF
the troubles we have from inflamma-
ton or infection of these anatomical
cushions.
A recently developed mode of treat
ment, diathermy, when available
perhaps gives more relief than any
other remedy and in many cases of
bursitis, in any situation, daily dia-
thermy applications for a week or two
will render surgical Intervention un-
necessary.
