Discussing this condition, the ma

Some OF the less scrupulous small
concerns take advantage of the Sit

turing than in 1920.
I'm New York state there has been
a positive increase in the number of
children injured while at work, al
though the total number Of accidents
to adults has been decreasing - an
indication apparently, that children
are taking adult jobs. Such condi-
tons are not only harmful to the
children employed. but tend to de-
press wages for adults who must COM
pete in the labor market with Them"
This situation not only works a
to the nation now but
it places handicap upon its future.

The New Secession
New York Times,

State Senator Martin of North
Dakota has introduced a resolution
in his Legislature proposing that
thirty-nine Western States secede
IRON the Union, carrying With
US the Star-Spangled Banner" and
leaving to the other nine 1.-The
stripes they richly deserve" The
rine TO be left behind comprise what
he describes as the financial East"
They include the six New England
States, plus New York. New Jersey
ard Pennsylvania Senator Martins
reason for wishing to part company
With this Eastern group is because
it has so manipulated Congress"
that it has grown rich at the ex-
pense Of the rest of the Union"
The nine States he names have an
aggregate population of $4,000, 1000
and Is spokesman in the Senate of
the United States. In round num-
bers. they thus have one representa-
tive in the upper branch of Congress
for every 100000 people. The thirty
nine Western States which would
take the Star-Spangled Banner with
them have an aggregate population
CT 100000 and Is spokesman in the
Senate. They have thus one dele
gate for every 100000 people. The
first remarkable discovery Senator
Martin has made is that the Eastern
group can manipulate" Congress
when it is under-represented in the
upper branch in the proportion OF
nearly two to one, and out-voted by
a majority Of more than four to one.
A still more remarkable consequence
is that "the financial East has used
It's well-hidden power in order to
establish q system Of taxation under
which, with only little more than
one-fourth OF the country's popula-
alton. it pays about three-fifths of
the individual income tax. Its way
of growing rich at the expense Of
the rest OF the Union" is to contri-
butte in individual income taxes about
IS per capita for every 81 contributed
ty the thirty-nine Western States on
Mr. Martins list.
1t is safe to suppose that the North
Dakota Legislature will vote to reject
the resolution now before 1t. But
there is one sense in which its sub
mission may be regarded as signif-
cant, however extravagant it may be.
II suggests the feeling which UNI
questionably exists in many Western
communities, that In the distribution
Of rewards Of labor the East" has
Jared better than the West" It Is
unfortunately true that. largely in
consequence OF a continuing surplus
OF farm products, the agricultural
States failed to share In equal meas
ure with the industrial States in the
prosperity Of the years from 1922 to
1929. But there Is no evidence that
che latter group has escaped the full
force Of the depression during the
last three years. The Department OF
Agriculture estimates that the gross
income q American farmers declined
BY 81 per cent between 1870 ana 1882.
But reports Of the Department OF
Labor sl1ow that during the same pc.
Rod the index Of factory payrolls de.
clined By 81 per cent. Meantime, the
value Of common stocks, n which
the financial East" invested much

clined from the high point reached
IN 1870 by 81 per cent.
The whole country Is in the depres-
sion, It can get out Of it only by
making common cause.

WILL 1T LEAVE A SCAR?

In a lantern-slide lecture on Es-
thetic Plastic Surgery given in the
Pan-Pacific Surgical Conference at
Honolulu. DR.. Herbert Bames of Los
Angeles said that theoretically sur
gerry can never be scarless, but prac-
t.cally it may be so. BY this he
meant that missions may be rendered
invisible by hiding them within areas
covered by hair. or within CRITICAL
surfaces. or by blending them with
the normal folds Of the skin in ac-
cordance with its grain or lines of
muscular tension.
The author went OH to outline the
technique Of scarlesS surgery. and We
mention a few Of the points he en-
phasized:
/. The incision thru the skin
should be vertical. not slanting,
for the vertical incision permits
even coaptation of the edges of
the wound, where slanting in
cision favors overriding.
2. All tension of approximation
of wound edges must be carried by
the fascia, none by the skin.
3. Sutures should be tied loosely.
4. Fixation and splinting are inn
portant, to safeguard the newly
created form while healing takes
place.
S. A wet dressing is preferable
for the first "a hours. After that
a dry dressing.
s. Early removal OF sutures, usu-
ally n from "a to 48 hours, to
prevent a rosary of stitch marks.
Z. Artistic or sculptural talent
in planning the operation and
executing it.
The same author, III a contribution
to California and Western Medicine
august, l93O offers this excellent
suggestion for the treatment of facial
Disagreement in automobile accidents
chiefly by flying glass. The wounds
are deep, ragged and difficult to
sterilize. A wet dressing should be
applied for the first "a hours, leav-
ing the open wounds to drain. Next
day the wounds may be stitched or
otherwise coapted. when it is possible
to have better alignment. less SWELL
ing, less danger of infection or the re-
tention OF glass, oil or dirt In the
wound. If such wounds are immedi-
stely stitched there is likely to be
more scar formation from subsequent
swelling. distortion of surfaces. small
stitch assesses. or particles of glass,
grease or other foreign material bur-
led in wound.
In closing any wound the use of
Sllbcllticlllar Slltlrn RI nlaco tho ton
sion on the tissues under the skin
rather than skin sutures is always
preferable, provided the skin incision
can be nearly or quite coapted by this
means. When such subcuticular SUIT
uring is used, it may be preferable
to retain the skin edges in contact
by means Of adhesive plaster straps
which are applied for good distance
back from the wound.
This scientific delay of the sutur-
ing till the next day makes it prac-
t.eally the suturing of clean wound.
