BY KATHRYN UMPHREY


BATTLE CREEK, Mich,
March 2O-(R-Shiny new arti-
fetal arms and legs, row after
row of them, line one end of the
orthopedic shop here at Percy
Jones hospital, General Army
center for care of amputees.
And it isn't a morbid sight
either-not to the soldier pat
tents at least. To them these
rows of limbs mean that they
can live without the spoken or
unspoken pity that follows a
man on clutches or with a pin
ned up sleeve.
140 IN MONTH
During the last six months 696
men have been fitted with legs
and arms in the soldier-operated
orthopedic shop here and, pro-
duction is still on the upgrade.
Last month alone lao were fit
ted and in March the figure will
be even higher.
Master Sgt. David Keith, who
before the war was a partner in
a brace shop at Spokane, Wash,
heads the overall shop and under
him are 40 men, many of whom
knew little or nothing about this
highly technical art prior to
their induction.
In civilian life it took about
five years to turn out good
brace man, but as usual the Ar
my hurried it up bit. Staff
Sgt. Lorrin Madsen, of Mime
apolis, used to be farmer, but
in his two army years has be-
come head of the limb division.
All civilians have been told
and retold just what remarkable
things veterans could do with
their artificial arms and hands,
but just how the devices worked
WAS somewhat Of a mystery. '
ELASTIC CONTROLS
General big movements of the
arm come from the stump and
upper arm, but small hand act
ion is controlled by an elastic
running from the hand or the
claw from his opposite shoulder.
So the next time you see your
veteran friend pick up piece
of paper, you will know that he
opened the claw by bringing his
opposite shoulder forward bit
and then closed the claw merely
by relaxing. It's the same thing
with his hand. When he shakes
hands with you he opens his fin
gers by hunging his shoulder.
And incidentally he can shake
hands with his claw too-in fact
that would be the most natural
thing for him to do, unless you
should finch. The claw is more
useful than the hand, and conse-
quently he will wear it most Of
the time, resorting to the hand
only for dress.
The most important thing
about an artificial hand is that it
have some use. There are per-
haps more "life-like" looking
hands on the market that mis-
guided civilians may urge vet
Grams to get-but so far they are
comparatively useless.
LIFELIKE HANDS
The hand the men are getting
now is of flesh colored plastic
with wire spring fingers and
rubber fingertips, and when re-
Taxed the hand is closed A pull
on the shoulder opens the first
two fingers and thumbs.
Amputations of arms and legs
are first made right behind the
front lines by army surgeons.
The soldiers are then brought to
this country and to Percy Jones
