so new CASES EXAMINED
AT THE ORTHOPEDIC CLINIC
One Hundred And Thirty Per-
sons Are Seen During ebay
Clinic Conducted Last Week
MANY ARE BEING AIDED

About so new cases were seen at the
semi-annual orthopedic clinic, conduc-
ted last Friday and Saturday at the
Health Office, Oakland, by DR.. George
E. Bennett, Baltimore bone specialist,
and his assistant, DIR. George o.
Eaton.
About so cases who had been seen
at previous clinics came back for OBJ
servation and further examination and
advice.
The new cases included persons with
posture defects, arthritis and various
injuries to bones and joints. Quite
a number of patients were recon-
mended for care at the Baltimore hos
pitfalls, according to a member of the
Maryland League for Crippled Chill
dren, which organization has charge
of the work.
Some Of those who. came were on
crutches, some were carried in by their
parents or friends. In each case pre-
sented the patient was given an ex-
animation and advised just what par
ticular form of corrective treatment
should be used Many Of those who
have some deformity in the bone struc-
ture of the body will be materially
aided by the treatments which will
follow these examinations. A great
many of the unfortunates of the coun-
'ty have already been benefited by the
orthopedic clinic held in the past over
a period of several years.
These clinics were started under the
auspices of the Oakland Civic club and
following the infantile paralysis cpl
demic of 1928 most of the patients
were sufferers from the disease. Since
that time, however, many others who
have been suffering for many years
have come for examinations and as
sistance.
This is the first time that two days
were given to such work. The num-
Der of patients has steadily increased
at each clinic until it was found to be
impossible to care for all during one
day.
A luncheon was given last Friday by
the Oakland Civic club for DR.. Ben
nett and his staff and members of the
local health department who were all
present to help with the clinic. DR..
Bennett, who is head of orthopedic
surgery in Johns Hopkins hospital,
Baltimore, gives his services for such
work free of charge.

Guffey Coal Act Declared Invalid
by Supreme Court

Another major New Deal measure,
the seventh in less than two years,
went by the board Monday when the
United States Supreme Court, in 6
to decision ruled tina tthe Guffey Coal
Control Act was unconstitutional.
The tribunal found that the produc-
ton of coal is essentially interstate
commerce and therefore cannot be reg
ulated by a Federal agency either in
the matter of wages, hours of labor or
The fixing of prices.
And that being true, no code author
ity can be set up for the industry, sus-
tanned by "so-called tax" which the
court holds is not a tax at all, but a
penalty"
Another Blow Dealt New Deal
Meanwhile another blow was being
delivered the New Deal in another di-
rection. The District of Columbia
Court of Appeals, in 3-to-2 decision.
held the $4,000, 100000 Emergency Re-
lief Appropriations Act of 1885 was
too broad in its delegation of powers to
the President and, as a result, was IN
constitutional.
