You may think it strange, but
winter in the time when you should
be particularly careful of injuries to
your wrists.
The reason for this is that the
most common cause Of injury to
the wrists is the fall on the out
stretched hands, and this type of
fall occurs most frequently in win
ter, when the streets are slippery.
When you fall on the out
stretched hand, special strain is
put on the ligaments of the wrist
joint and also on the tendonS
which pass across the Joint.
A sprain of this type is followed
by certain definite manifestations
which aid the physician in making
a diagnosis. First, there is no in
jury TO the bone, as can be seen by
the X-ray or by the lack of Symp-
toms of bone injury.
Second, you feel severe pain on
motion in certain directions, which
indicates the ligaments and ten
denS that have been harmed.
In general, sprains Of this kind

"In the story" said Stahl this
week, "this girl is the daughter
of a colored nanny, and this
point obviously makes it impos-
sible to use an established screen
player or, in fact, any girl of
Caucasian birth. Such a thing,
so to speak, would simply not
"go down" with theatre audience
es, even though they realized the
relationship was only a pretence
for screen purposes.
This means. then that this
girl will be a newcomer to the
screen. Sac would be from II
to 20 years old, and though of
colored birth must have none Of
the facial characteristics of the
Negro. She must be so much
like a Caucasian in appearance

Mary quarreled. Katie flung a
flower pot which struck Mary
above the right eye, breaking
her glasses. A vase was also
thrown, and then Mary started
work with a razor, slashing KaIt
lie from just below the ear
around the back Of her neck,
and also cutting her left fore
arm. Katie received numerous
other cuts, and suffered greatly
from loss of blood.
Mrs. Miner was wounded when
she attempted to stop the fra
cas-. She received severe slash
es on her wrist. arms and
hands.
Police were notified and soon
Katie and Johnson were in the
hospital. Katie's wounds re-
uuired more than a hundred
stitches to close, and she nearly
died while on the operating
table. Today hospital attend
ants said her condition was
fairly good. Johnson's injury
is not considered serious. He
is not relative of Mary john
son, who is held at the county

NEW YORK-Will Rogers Is
free to insult anyone or any
thing over the air, it became
known here this week following
the storm Of protest over the
comedians use Of the word mig
ger in his Sunday night social
ed humorous" broadcast over
the WIZ network of the Nation
al Broadcasting Company.
Neither the NBC or the Gulf
Refining Company. which hires
Rogers. has the right to inter-
fere with the comedians talks.
He is said to have an agreement
which permits him absolute
freedom.
Rogers, well-known humorist,
shocked the radio public Sum
day evening in a nationwide
hook-up by using the word mig
ger three times in describing
the cowboy song, 1.-THE Last
Roundup" as a niger spiritual.
In closing his speech, Rogers
told his radio audience that he
didn't want anyone to send in
letters OF protest because if they
didn't want to hear the broad
cast all they had to do was to
get up and turn the program off.
In many circles it is felt that
the insult was deliberate. Ro-
gers closing remarks, as well as
the knowledge that most radio
broadcasts are prepared before
hand. lent added credence to
this belief.

insult to 12,O00,OO0 Negroes also
