Lovely Joan Hastings lives q se.
cluded life with her two stern. old
aunts, Evvie and Babe Van Fleet,
in Sausalito. California. She falls
in love with Bill Martin, young
mechanic. Learning this, Aunt Ev-
vie sends Joan away to Pennsyl-
vania to school. Enroute, loan
slips off the train and goes to Bills
home only to find that he left town
without leaving an address. She
did not know Bill had gone to see
her and Evvie upbraided him, say.
ing if he loved Joan he would give
her up and not try to find her as he
had nothing to offer her. Joan set
ties in San Francisco unknown to
her aunts. She boards with good
natured Mrs. Maisie Kimmer. Bill,
in the meantime, is befriended by
Rollo Reyes, wealthy playboy.
Rollo's father, believing Bill may
have . good influence on his son,
gives him a position where he
learns surveying. He does not try
to get in touch with Joan as he
wants to be success before he
goes to her. Bills mother returns
Joan's letters to her as she does
not know her sons address. loan

Maisie's daughter, Francine de
Guitry gives Joan position model
ing wedding gowns in her exclu-
sive Maison Francine. She il an

suffering, Joan vows she will not
let her love for Bill ruin her life.

her SON know Joan, but he insists
upon driving her home. Curtis en-

that follow, but her heart il still

longer, she visits Bills mother.
Mrs. Martin heard from Bill but
he did not mention Joan. Joan re-

The Need for Charity

Although the federal government
has broken all precedent in the ex-
tent Of its campaign to relieve un-
employment, It Is still true that pri-
vate charity occupies the front
trenches in the war on hunger and
privation.
This is made inescapably clear by
the remarks OF President Roosevelt
and Relief Director Harry Hopkins
at the recent relief conference ut
Washington.
No matter what the federal govern
ment may do, as the president point
ed out, In the end the whole thing
comes back to the responsibility Of
individual citizens and organizations.
And as a supplement- to this there
Is Director Hopkins blunt assertion
that II don't know = place in the
United States where relief is ade-
quate."
All OF this, Of course, simply means
that Community Chest campaigns
this fall have got to be supported as
never before.
The federal government can help
provide unemployed people with shell
ter and with food. But that, after
all. Is only part Of the fight. You
may keep a man from freezing to
death or starving to death, but he
can still be cverlastingly miserable
If the job doesn't 60 any farther than
that.
His children have got to have nor
NAL educational and recrcational IA
cilities. The health of his entire
family must not be allowed to suffer.
The deadly empty hours which come
to man who has no job have got
to be filled somehow, and If the COM
munity doesn't provide some way in
which they can be filled advanta-
geously the man is very likely to 60
to pieces.
These are fields which the federal
government can hardly touch. They
are up to local agencies; and since
most city and county treasures are
pretty empty, the burden has got to
be carried very largely by private
charity.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Charges, de-
mails, alibis, buck-passing, reasoned
explanations, and Allegations Of blame
NOT forgetting the almost daily
statements Of Secretary Of Interior
Harold L. Ickes-can't obcure the fact
that the public works program, judg-
ed by its original purpose, long since
proved q flop.
One thing we don't learn from this
depression is the extent to which a
properly planned, quickly. executed
public works effort involving 8 $780,
100000 would help bring back pros
perity.
An official who has had more to do
with the recovery program than any,
one except Roosevelt and General
johnson privately asserts his belief
that II public works had been begun
with big push and led the way for
MIRA, the depression would be as good
as over.
When British statesmen scoffed at
our works program and pointed to
vast sums they had spent Ineffective
ly, Brain Trust economists retorted
that their money had been dribbled,
whereas ours would be used as q quick
and mighty shot in the arm which
would start the patient toward his
feet while other effective restoratives

PARESIS AND ADHESIONS MAKE
MANY UNNECESSARY GRIZZLIES

What have to say about adhesions
is of general application, and hope
readers will not write to me about
their individual cases, for there is no
advice can offer.
Admissions that cause trouble are
mainly due to too much rest. too much
coddling. too prolonged splinting, ILL
advised wearing Of braces, arch props,
corsets, sings, clutches, and slight
ing or neglect of the exercise, use or
activities advised by the physician.
Well. anyway exercises or work or
Use alphabetically prescribed by the
physician.
I want to be fair. acknowledge
that physicians are sometimes un-
skilled and hence negligent in the
application of modern principles in
practice. One still finds unfortunate
individuals carrying arms in splints
for long weeks after the broken bone
las knit" or become united by cal
llS. This Is an antiquated custom
which is no longer followed by phsyi-
clans or surgeons who are well
trained. In most cases today the COM
petent physician or surgeon removes
all splints or bandages from the
broken bone ~ hours or at least
within the first few days after the
injury, to see that conditions are all
right and to begin gentle manipula-

first few weeks, massaging and NOV.
ing the injured member gradually
more and more day by day. He leaves
the spliuts off altogether in three
weeks, more or less, and In most frac-
tires thus treated the patients are
using the injured members quite
freely by the end of the month. Only
when there are special complications
need the disability be prolonged as
was the rule In old time practice.
The purpose Of splints is not to hold
the broken fragments together. The
muscles, liganents and other soft It's
sues around the set of the fracture do
that. The purpose Of splints is simply
to give the muscles rest.
A reasonable amount Of rest Is fine
for an injured member, that is, where
the injury is severe. Ordinarily slight
Sprains are often best treated by I'm

member with tight bandage or per-
haps boot laced on for support. More
severe sprains are better treated with
rest. splints, for q few days.
Unduly prolonged rest weakens the
muscles. Not only that, but weakens
the circulation. the nutrition and
hence impairs the healing process, re-
tards healing.
It Is because the modern physician
and surgeon insists on early resump-
ton of function that fractures heal
better under hts treatment than they
did In the old days Of weeks Of neglect
In splints.
As I admit, there are still q few
physicians In practice who follow the
old traditions and have no knowledge
or experience In modern methods. As
long as such old timers land some OF
them are young In years. remain IN
