This fracture was first accurately
described by Abraham COLES in 1914
and is known as Coolies fracture"
It's history is a good Illustration of
tie Improvement we have made in
the management Of fractures OF the
bone in the hundred odd years that
have supervened.
Abraham COLES was born In Kill
Kenny and practiced surgery most OF
his life in Dublin.
In describing this classic form OF
fracture he wrote: 81 consider TINS
BY far the most common injury TO
which the wrist or carpal eXtremities
are exposed. The fracture takes
place about an inch and half above
the wrist"
One gathers from this original de-
scriptiorf the difficulties that the sur
geons of those days had in dealing
with fractures First, they had to
guess and reason by logic and In
duction as to just what bone was
broken and where the break was.
Only If the patient died and it was
possible to make a dissection of the
part. could they determine by direct
observation. And this did not hap
nen very often.
Aseptic surgery mad not been per-
fected, and it would have been put
ling the patients life in jeopardy

from infection to cut down on the
injured part during life.
Then COLES emphasizes the great
difficulty of reducing the fracture and
making ii stay. on account of the
pull of the muscles. When anes-
thesia was introduced 80 years later
1t was possible to obtain relaxation
so that the bones could easily and
effectively be put in place.
Finally. we. never knew whether.
even after the bones had been ap-
proximated. they were going to stay
in that position. The patient had
to undergo the agony of having the
splints removed and readjusted.
It was when the X-ray came into
use in 1895 that the surgeon could
see exactly what bone was broken
and low it was broken or misplaced.
and by taking X-ray pictures regu-
larly during the course of healing,
assure the fracture patient of free
iom from deformity.

much more frequent than now. be-

Gladys Tells of Hair Waping
And Oil Shampoo Treatment

aid greatly In alleviating the chap
ping and correcting the dryness of
your skin. You should also treat the
dry condition internally. however, by
adding more of the fatty foods to
your daily diet.
Dear Miss Glad: For the last SIX
months have been using liquid pol
ish on my f1ngernails. Previously
my nails had a lovely natural luster.
However, my fingernails have now
become dull and faded. Do you think
it the fault of the liquid polish?
RUBY"
The fault in your case probably lies
in the fact that, due TO the finished
appearance that the liquid polish
gives. you have discarded the prac-
tice of buffing your I-ails. The buf-
fng of the nails should not be over
looked, as it is essential to both the
health and loveliness of the nails.
Continued buhing. you see. brings
out the lovely, natural luster of the
nails and also stimulates the circu-
lation. Moreover, you should mas
sage your nails nightly. A bit of
warmed olive oil massaged into the
base of the nails will help to COR
rect the dull. dry condition about
which you write. and will keep your
nails healthy and lnstrous.
Dear Miss Glad Although I'm
still in my teens. go out a good

hands. My fingers are very short
and stubby. Since I'm still In the

more pleasingly. Can you suggest
anything? FLORENCE.
Although you can't change the
actual bony structure of your hands
to any extent. you can exert an in
fluence on their muscular structure.
Before retiring each night. apply a
generous coating of cold cream to
your fingers. Then. beginning with
the. base of each finger on the left
hand. take first the forefinger. then
each Of the other fingers, in success

"Americd'S Most Famous Beauty"
DEAR MISS GLAD: Some time
ago you wrote an article on steam
waving. Since my hair has a ten
dency to curliness. ! think I could
train a nice wave in II. I'd like very
much, therefore. TO the steam
waving, and would be grateful if you
would advise me as to the proper
procedure. ELAINE"
In steam waving. the hair should
first be given a hot oil treatment and
a thorough shampooing. Then 1t
should be allowed to dry. When
completely dry combs should be
placed in the hair. in comb-waving
fashion. and a wide-meshed net or
wave cap should be placed over the
head. Then the head should be held
over a receptacle of steaming water
for about five minutes. 1t shouldn't,
of course. be held close enough 70
the receptacle for the steam to scald
the scalp. After the steaming, the
hair should be permitted to dry, and
when thoroughly dry, the net or cap

the hair gently combed out.
Dear Miss Glad: I'm not natural

must congratulate you on the ex-
cellence of the reducing routine in
that New Figure booklet of yours.

vista between the Capitol and the
Monument, are slated for early re-
moval, according to officials Of the

Workmen of the Hechinger Engi-

tory to razing the stacks. The old
cafeteria, power plant and heating
plant. the administration building
and the shops building-the four OF
them temporary war-built structures,
are now being torn down.
Ordinarily the Government is paid
for the tearing down of old buildings
for the contractor can salvage enough
materials to make the job financially
worth while.
In this case, however, the Hechingel
Co. will be paid, for in addition tc
tearing down the buildings, it must
grade both blocks, leveling of the OLD
foundations and placing topsoil on the
future park area and doing other work
Engineers of the National Park
Service said they expect the work will
be completed by October 8. The Ma
