DOUGLAS HITS
BUYING DRIVE


BOSTON, Sept. 13. UP)-Efforts
10 spur consumer buying at the sac
'rifice of savings IS characterized as
mot only unsound but futile by
Lewis Douglas. former director OF
the budget, writing on the depres-
sion and the problem of reemp.oy-
ment IN the current Atlantic Month
ly.
1T is clear that increased pur-
chases Of consumer goods cannot
revive the capital-goods industries
in which the bulk of unemploy-
ment exists Douglas contends.
Asserting that the "spend-your-
way-out theory now favored by the
administration, is only superficial
" plausible Douglas says that il
fails to recognize that the great
majority Of unemployed are from
industries which make products that
the individual consumer does not
buy, and that savings DO not rep
resent sterile, locked-up funds, but
funds which go into circulation
through investment.
ooi4lE OOOAo CNEdAf
During the depression there has
been a relatively constant consump-
ton of such goods as wheat, but
ter, flour, silks, yelvets, popular
priced dresses, infants wear, cigar
cites and gasoline" Douglas writes.
Whereas the consumption Of capi-
tal-goods such as machinery, and
building materials, has declined en-
ormously Employment in indus
tries making goods for individual
consumption has declined only 16
per cent against a so per cent de-
cline in the capital-goods indus
tries.
An overnight increase in the
use of consumer goods to an all
time peak probably would not re-
employ even 25 per cent OF the
workers now idle in the capital
goods industries.
During normal periods APPROX
mately 40 per cent Of capital in
yestments have been made for re-
placements in the industrial field
rather than for new facilities. There
exists at present a tremendous pent-
up demand for such replacementS,
estimated in some quarters at more
than $4,000. .O0O0Oo. If this demand
can be released and made effective,
the greatest void in our present eco
nomy will be filled. Workmen by
the million will be TeemplOyed IN
the very industries in which pres
ent unemployment is the worst. 1t
is TO the accomplishment Of this
task that all recovery efforts Of the
government should be directed.
Common sense and every prece-
dent show that if it is to be released
and financed, the investment OF ad-
ditional savings VIII be required.

Health
Treatment for
Spra1ns
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.
Improvement in the treatment
of small things is constantly being
advanced. In fact, so satisfactory
is the advance in many instances
that what used to be considered
a serious injury is now considered
of minor Importance.
1t was not so very long ago
that a surgeon used to tell his
patient that Sprain was worse
than a break.
This piece of wisdom was prob
ably arrived at because sprains
were put up in rigid plaster of
Paris, the patient kept in bed
for a long time, the result being
that the joint was stiff for several
weeks after the cast was removed.
An English surgeon found that
some of his younger patients re-
fused to accept the restrictions of
the regular treatment and got out
and played tennis or handball. To
his surprise they recovered from
the sprains very much more rap
idly than those who were put into
plaster of Paris. He, therefore,
advocated that the foot be
strapped with adhesive plaster
and the patient allowed to walk
around as soon as possible after
the injury.
That treatment is the classical
one most used today, but it may
be replaced before long with the
new injection treatment intro
duced by French surgeon, Prof.
Leriche. This treatment is simple
enough, although it must be ad-
miniStered by a physician. Prof.
Leriche came to the belief that
the ligamentS themselves were not
injured in a Sprain, but that most
of the disability was due to the
involvement of the nerve endingS,
so he advises the injection of a
local anethetic, procaine, in the
injured parts. Recovery is said to
be very rapid under this form Of
treatment. Even cases with con-
siderable swelling are able to be
up and around within "a hours,
and the swelling subsidies. Cases
taken early after the injury are
apparently completely well within
two or three days.
The fundamental theory is logi-
cal enough, and follows upon the
ideas of the English surgeon re-
ferred to above, that if the part
is used, healing will be speeded up.
The only reason most patients
with sprained ankles do not use
the joint more is on account of
pain, and this Prof. Leriche's
treatment overcomes Immediately.
Perhaps the most important
thing of all for the layman to re-
member is that a sprain should
not be called a sprain until after
an X-ray picture is taken to be
certain there is no fracture of the
bones. The most unfortunate re-
suits of all occur in those cases
in which there actually has been
a break in the bone which has
been called sprain and treated
as such.

Buy in bulk seems to be the
idea where fur trimmed cloth
coats are concerned. Retailers re-
port that shoppers prefer boxy
coats with bulky sleeves, back
and deep yokes. Heavy brown
woolen makes the slim skirt of
a smart coat that has wide
sleeves, bloused back, and a col
lar of beaver. The front of the
bodice is of the woolen.
Just showing at the hem of
many an evening frock are dainty
feet. encased in lovely evening
slippers. The shortened front
hem, therefore, has given added
Importance to dancing slippers.
Intricately worked bands of violet
and silver make lovely shoe
which has ornaments of amethyst
colored stones.

It's hard to say whether the
most interesting part of the story
is the colors. whether it is the
styles, or the heel heights. Per
haps like the ree-legged stool
each leg is the most important
But color is what you notice, SO
let's go into that.
COlOrs Are Mixed
If you think we've worn colored
shoes for two or three seasons
past, you haven't seen anything,
The new resort shoes, those de
signed for afternoon. for beach
and for wear with the less digni.
fled sort of clothes, run riot in
color. Not that all shoes mix
their colors, or are even touched
by tint, for there are still plenty
of plain whites, but when color is
used, you are quite aware Of it,
and pleasantly So.
For instance, in just one shoe
shop I saw white shoes with
colored straps, white shoes with
strips of color woven right into
the body of the shoe, toes and
heels in color. sandals with the
whole vampS of the shoe made of
narrow strips of leather, in multi
colors. Not to mention shoes in
color, unrelieved, and very good
looking.
Bags in Pastels
Bags are as colorful. This
same shop is showing odd shaped
bags of pastel patent leather,
generously trimmed in gold. or a
good imitation, and surprisingly
enough, priced low. These bags
would simply make a white or
contrasting costume.
Gold kid bag, another odd
shape, matching gold kid san
dals, not gilded but in gold
color that's another idea for
southern days.
Shapes are almost too varied
to describe. Soft-toed shoes seem
to be smartest. Most of them
are developments from the
monks shoe, with one piece of
leather making the front of the
shoe, and no supplementary
Strapping or boxing, on the out
side. Most of them are quite
high on the instep.
Medium Heels
Heels, the third part of the
story, seem to fall into two very
definite classes, low and high.
The high heels are pretty high.
for those people who seem to feel
that they need the inches on
their stature.
But the low heels are not ex-
tremely low, just moderate.
Something around an inch or
slightly over. I'd say. Many
shoe people have contended all
along that flat1soled shoes were
bad for feet not used to them,
and evidently this medium heel
is a compromise, and a happy
one. We will be wearing them
for all times of the day and
evening too.
Materials seem to be less i'm
portant than all the things
mentioned above. The shoes
I've seen have been of good
feathers, smooth and obtrusive,
giving way to the colors, shapes
and bits of ornament as excit-
ing enough,

FOR people going South,

offering new bathing suits.
Here's one of a close-knit
cross-ribbed wool, designed
to mould the figure along
correct lines for either
active swimming or decora-
tive lounging. The nautical
lacing below the deep v
neckline carries its long
ends around at a high waist
line to tie adjustably at the
back. The necklace shoulder
straps, of colored wool to
match the lacing, cross at
the back. The styling of this
suit recommends it for ma
ture figures as we'll as for

that we use either black or dark

a most bizarre appearance to our

rule is the writing of Christmas

tip end of Danny's little short tail. Had that tail been an inch longer, Danny would have been caught. As it was, Busters paw came down on the tip end only, and when Danny jumped, as of course he did, his tail slipped right out from under. With a pitiful little squeak of fear Danny darted over to another tree and whisked around behind that. Even then, in the midst of his fright, he was thankful to Old Moth- CT Nature for having given him that short tail. Its shortness was all that had saved his life and he knew 1t.
 "Never, never again." thought Danny, twill I envy anyone a long tail. Cousin Whitefoot's tail may be handsomer than mine, but if Cousin Whitefoot had been in my place he would be right in Buster Bears stomach this very minute, and 1t would have been all because of his long tail"
 Then Danny began to look about him hurrledly in the hope of finding a hiding place, for Buster Bear had seen where Danny had gone and was coming to try that same trick over again.
