To his superior striking power
the Nazi leader added surprise and
audacity. Equipping dive bomb

childish, but against green troops
it worked. BY striking suddenly,

gained an initiative he never lost.

WASHINGTON, - First repeat
performance in the European war
is likely to be staged in Finland.
Foreign correspondents have
left Helsinki, although communi-
cations from that city r not sub
ject to censorship. News of what
is happening there comes + r o m

Stockholm. More reliable informa-
ton filters through in official diplo-
matte communicates.
The Communist party is out

400 members of the Soviet League
of Peace and Friendship staged a
demonstration there, and clamored
for union with the U.S.S.R.
Twenty-four hours after tn e
March Is peace treaty was signed,
the Films began construction of a
new Mannerheim line. And Fin
lands defenses have beer
strengthened by a flow Of supplies
from the United States which
have been coming in steadily since
then.
When the Films had to fight last
winter they were handicapped be-
cause orders placed in America in
September, 1889, had not been
filled.
Side by side with her, defense
preparations, Finland has carried
out a brave reconstruction pro-
gram throughout the late spring
and summer.
It seems doubtful that Finland
is sufficiently rehabilited, or SUI
ficiently equipped to repel an
other Russian invasion now.
The numerical odds against her
will be about 10 to l as they were
last December.
What the Firms call IN arva"

weight of war vehicles.
Finland car expect little help
from other countries.
An Official of the German gov.

Appropriate Haven

LAM "a ~
This southwest Texas ranch
town today offered a haven from
German bombs for the daughter
and granddaughter of Lily Lang
try, English stage beauty for
whom it was named.
Postmaster Harold Dodd cabled
Lady Ivan Malcolm, daughter of
the famous actress~of the COS:
'Langtry's 200 citizens would be
godparents to you and Lady
Bartless of London"
The cable was sent to Port
Alloch, Kilmartin, Argyllshire,
England.
Dodd recalled that "our Judge
Roy Bean, who was the law
west of the pecos, named the
town in honor of your beautiful
mother" adding "he would have
wanted us to offer refuge to the
daughter of the actress he SO
admired"
Judge Bean, who dealt from
tier justice during the 1905
and COS, never saw the Jersey
Lily. but was born on the Island
of Jersey.
He corresponded with her how
ever, and plastered her pictures
on the walls of his combination
saloon and courtroom.
When Lily Langtry came to
America in 1905, she stopped her
transcontinental train for a TO-
minute visit at Langtry but
Judge Bean had died two years
before.

Answer would not advise
shoulder braces for a slight round.

overcome by exercise such as
standing up againt the wall and

Medical Care

day: IF you are the first to arrive
at the scene of an automobile acc1-
dent and find the driver clear on
the ground unable to move on ac-
count Of pain in the back what
you suspect is a fractured spine.
The answer to the second ques-
ton, what will you do for the
patient?" is tell everybody who
comes up not to move him until
the ambulance arrives and then GO
and telephone for the ambulance,
or send someone while you stand
guard over well-meaning helpers
who want to carry him some place.
Improper lifting of such an acct
dent victim may result in perma.
nent Gripping from injury to the
nervous system.
Carelessness in first aid in these
circumstances h a S resulted in
thouands of permanently disa'
bled persons in this country. It is
estimated that $4,000 spines were
fractured in automobile accidents
in 1887.
Never Trivial
With a fractured spine there is
always a backache of varying Sc.

than a kink in the back. There is
usually no deformity and con.

broken back, the victim is often il

nothing but a muscle cramp. Any

ton.
Small indeed may be the acct
dent which causes spinal fracture.
One of the commonest forms is
the hitting of a speed breaker OF
obstruction of any kind in the
road, so that the occupant is
thrown up. The fracture may &C.
cur in the bones of the neck from
hitting the roof Of the car, or in
the lower back from coming down
on the buttocks. Even sudden
stopping may produce such an in.
jury from "whiplash" or Jack
knitting the body. The driver al
ways innociently thinks of the car
going so miles an hour when as a
matter of much more concern to
him, his torso is also going at the
same rate of speed.
How to Lift
In lifting a victim of an auto
mobile accident never lift him face
up, with n person holding under
the armpits and another hooking
under the knees. If he must be
lifted before a stretcher arrives,
it is safer to lift him hang face
down, by two people, one at the
armpits and other at the knees.
Even on the stretcher he should
be carried face down.
Backache OF a different kind
not due to spinal fracture-m a y
come from poor posture at the
wheel. Long drives, on a low seat
with the shoulders bent over the
wheel and a slump in the lower
back will put a strain on the ten
dons and muscles of the back and
result in touring backache.
1t will be relieved by exercises
bending and running around and
doing a dozen squating exercises.
