Boston, May 13.-(AP)-Su -Substitu-

technique today by a Virginia sur
geOn, who reported success in sheath
ing a severed tendon with the filmy
material in such a way that a de-
formed hand became practically nor

DR.. Thomas Wheeldon, of Rich
mond, told how, after bridging with
strong silk a five-inch gap between
the severed ends of a cut tendon, he
wrapped the tendon in cellophane in
much the same manner as paper is
rolled around a cigaret.
An 18-year-old youths hand
Wheeldon reported in the Journa
of Bone and Joint Surgery, had ex-
hibited certain deformity after q
tendon between wrist and thumb had
been sliced by piece of glass.
But, after operation, and sheath

ability to extend the thumb, and al
the same time has so little contrac-
ton (of the tendon) that he can al
most fully flex his thumb normally
And, presumably, the youth who
sports a tendon wrapped in cello
phane can once more shoot an out
drop, or thumb an automobile ride
for Wheeldon said:
''The thumb is strong and enables
the patient to do almost everything
that a boy wants to do. -"

Favorable Weather Coming Week Will See
Bulk of Crop Put In; Increased Acreage of
About Eight Percent Is Forecast by Allen

and several plant beds for sale, these
farmers will obtain enough for their
demands. Present conditions indicate
an increased acreage of eight to ten
percent; however, due to the un-
usually low yield per acre in this
county last year, poundage will be
increased considerably more than
acreage increase indicates. Fertilizer
tax tags indicate an increase of only
five percent over the State; however,
considerable cotton land has been
converted to tobacco this year, which
will raise the percentage shown by
tax tags.
Reports from sales supervisors on
markets to the south show very fav-
orable conditions, with planting, of
course, advanced over this area, with
acreage increases slightly larger
than in Vance and surrounding coun-
ties,

With excellent weather condl-

ing counties during the past week,
farmers have made rapid progress In
preparing land and transplantlng
plants. Between rs and 80 percent OF
land has been prepared, and slightly
over 35 percent has been transplant
ed. With clear weather next week,
this latter percentage will be more
than doubled, although if land does
not receive some rain this weekend,
many growers will have to water
plants. Majority of plants set during
the first of this week are taking
hold now, and very little replanting
has been done. .-

A Pick>Ub

Whether your mid-season ward
robe pick-me-up is a gay print, n
pastel wool or suave black crepe
with spic and span white collar
and cuffs. il will give your spirits
much more of lift If you wear
new makeup with 1t.
II you've worn the same shade Of
lipstick. rouge and nail polish since
last fall, by all means decide to
make a change now Rich, dark
wine lipstick and polish ought TO
be lovely with bonbon pink or
hyacinch blue wool frock. Try one
of the mauve tones with a print
which has a great deal of the law
ender or purple shades in 1t.
To enhance further the stream
lined, sophisticatedly smart look
black dress with white touches
can give you, dress up lips and
nails with the clearest, brightest
scarlet hpstick and lacquer you
can find. Or. If you've been wear
ing dark and clear reds all along
do a complete about face with
creamy, dusty rose or pale, subtly
lavender-ish pink lip rouge and
polish. It's mistake to allow
yourself to get into rut. You
wouldn't buy the same dress year
after year, would you? Then why
go on wearing the same shades of
makeup year after year?
Changing your hair style is an
other excellent way to bolster up
your tagging spirits. II you are
pretty weary of your upswept. how
about having you hair cut pretty
short and wearing it in soft little

Otherwise. see that your powder

might have been entirely yours.
Widows Engagement
Dear Mrs. Post: Ny daughter IS
40 and is marrying for the second
time. She has been a widow for
more than IS years. I disagree with
her about announcing the engage
ment. which she wants me to do.
7 think she should wait and then
announce that the marriage will
take place. or even has taken
place.
Answer: agree with you-very
certainly IN the point that il would
be unsuitable for you to announce
her engagement as though she
were a young girl. If she chooses
to tell her intimate friends that
she is going TO be married on such
and such a day. that would be
appropriate Later. if she would
like to have announcements sent
out OF her marriage it would he
quite proper that you send these
since she is widow and not a
divorce. Otherwise. merely tele-
phoning the society editor of your
newspaper that the marriage has
taken place is all that would be
necessary.

OHIO BOY LITER
KEEPS CHIN UP

MBTS, O.-LindberE
Trent. 16-yeaF-old life prisoner at
the Ohio penitentisry. has turned
10 radio to keep his contact with
the outside world.
The youngest inmate in the
prison talked persistently Of radio
during an interview He said he
would make the radio which he
is building into short wave set
IL prison rules allowed II. He as
sembled the set, he said. with a
screwdriver and pair Of pliers
borrowed from the man in the
next cell.
Trent, whose home is in Cincin-
natl, was sentenced by a three
man court for stsbbing a 6-year-
old girl to death after he feared
she would tell OF his improper sd-
vanees. He entered the peniten-
tiary in August.
The boy was assigned 70 a block
where prisoners have separate
cells. He said he liked it that way
because you know nobody is 60
ing to bother your stuff"
Exercise and sunshine were the
things he missed the most.
Il had swell sun tan when I
got here, but look at me now, "
he said.
He has copied an inch-high
stack of drawings from books and
magazines that he was able TO
obtain.
The boy said he knew few of the
men in the prison. One OF his
friends. ne said vas Hindu
whose name he could not remem-
Der because it had "a letters in it.
Trent does not attend school.
Prison officials feel that he should
be kept separated from the men,
but they think perhaps next year
they will start him again with his
education.

might be free was that he thought
he would be a good man around

A Secretarys Duties

Dear Mrs. Post: There has been
some controversy N my Office
about the duties Of my secretary
or anv secretary Recently Wnen
two men came into my office !
asked nv secretary 70 get another
chair "a We have only one enalr
normally for visitors since the Of
flee is small. have since dlscoV-
~red that she resented being asked
to get the chair and said that tnls
was going too far.
Answer: 7 think this answer de-
ponds of course upon the manner
in which you asked her. That IS
II YOU ordered her 10 bring
chair, as If it were her duty In
life to do so. she might have re-
scented your manner. II you asked
her in a perfectly courteous tone
of voice. Miss Smith, do you think
you couldu find chair for MI.
Jones ," and she resented it. I
think I would get another secre-
tary. not especially because find
ing chairs is listed in her special
duties but it is certainly in her
special interest in her job to help
make the contact between you and
your customers as smooth as posi-
bic. To leave a customer stand
ing in front of your desk with no
where TO sit is, 1t seems to me,
inst as rude nm her mart As she
can possibly think it was rude on
your part to ask her TO demean
herself by finding chair. In
other words, those who are so
afraid they are going to lower
their social status by showing a
little kindness and consideration
are not the sort of people that
myself would ever want to employ,
nor the sort of employee that I
myself would want to be, if the
situation were on the other foot.

60 on With the Story
Driving away from the palace
slowly. along the winding avenue,
Ransome kept losing his way con-
tinually in the binding rain. The
lights of the old Buick were OF no
use save when now and then they
revealed directly in front Of him
the trunk of tree or a withered
bed Of flowers beaten flat by the
|downpour.
BY the bridge he narrowly es-
|caped driving into the little lake
with the bottom of concrete. 1t
was filling now slowly with water,
and the tiny pleasure boats. can
'opied and gilded, and ornamented
with fretwork. no longer tilted on
their sides but were beginning To
stir and float and come TO life.
The rain was like thick wall
against which he could feel the
car pressing its way.
It was slow going and until he
got the feel of the thing he had
|no time to think of anything save
whether in the next moment he
would hit something, or slip into
the lake. II was like driving a
motor again at the front without
lights. Then, slowly, as his lean
hands got the feel" of the thing,
he became aware of profound
feeling of depression, the feeling
that came when he had dissipated
all his strength and gone without
sleep for days at a time. 1t was
curious lost feeling, heavy with
sense of futility and despair; not
only was his body weary but his
spirit as well.
A Fascinating Woman
The figure of the Maharanee ap-
peared to him now more clearly
than that of Edwina. Thinking of
her, 1t seemed to him that she
always knew everything about
every one, not merely the gossip
and the intrigue which came to
her naturally in million different
underground ways. but hidden
things in the very characters and
thoughts of people.
There was the Maharanee he
knew across the poker table and
the Maharanee who was great
Queen doing her duty magnificent
ly: these two he understood, but
beyond them there was one whom
he never saw at all, at once COM
pick and secret, savage and over
civilized. full of astounding intu-
ition. There were times when he
had seen her change before his
eyes, while he was talking to her,
from a woman who was everything
that was European and under
standable, into a savage hill prin-
cess, unfathomable and capable of
the utmost cruelty and lack of
scruple.
At such times she both fas-
cinated and alarmed him, and he
was afraid of her now, for what
reason he did not quite know.
