Your Health
Knee Joint
Susceptible
TO Injuries
BY HERMAN BUNDEsEN, N. D

By HERMAN BUNDESEN, NJ. I
PERHAPS because Of the way
the knee joint is constructed, il
seems 10 be susceptible 70 a large
number Of different g pes Of in
juries. As a result Of these in
luries, various parts Of the joint
may be damaged.
In the knee joint there is a lin
ing membrane, a capsule around
the joint, and cartilages within the
joint. The lining membrane may
become infiamed as a result Of in
juries. The lgaments on the inner
side Of the knee may become
strained. Cartilages within the
joint may become dislocated.
Inflammation Of Membrane
Inflammation Of the lining mem
brane is called synovitis. An injury
which produces synovitis may tear
the capsule around the joint and il
the blood vessels in the capsule
are injured. a bloody fluid collects
in the joint.
The knee is swollen and tne knee
cap is pushed forward. The knee is
tender throughout, due to the in
creased pressure of the fluid in the
joint. The patient is unable to ex-
tend the knee and il cannot be bent
completely.
Treating Synoyitis
In treating synovitis it is sug-
gested by Doctor G. Edward Crane
Of Rhode Island that the knee be
put in a cast and kept there for
from three TO five weeks.
Strain Of the ligaments on the
inner side of the knee may result
from a twisting OF the joint. The
hgaments may be partially torn.
When this happens the amount of
fluid in the joint is slightly in
creased and there is tenderness
over the inner side of the joint.
In treating this type of injury
il is well to put on a cast stretch
ing from the toes 10 the hip. The
cast is kept on from six 10 eight
weeks and following its removal,
the application Of heat and mas
sage is found useful in speeding
up complete recovery.
Severe Twisting
Severe twisting Of the knee may
also cause dislocation of the carti-
lagos. When this happens the pa
tent cannot extend the knee and
movement causes pain. Frequently
the joint locks so that the knee
cannot be either bent or straight
ened. Often in such instances an
operation is necessary for remov-
ing the torn cartilage.
Still another condition affecting
the knee is known as Osgood-
Schlatter's disease, which occurs
in persons under twenty-one years
of age. 1t appears to develop espe-
cially when there is poor circula-
ton to the joint. In this disorder
there is a separation Of a tendon
which is attached to the knee cap.
As a general rule, keeping the
knee immovable for two months
will cure this disturbance.
When any injury to the knee
Joint occurs an X-ray examination
should be made TO determine the
condition present. Then proper
treatment may be carried out.

Combining their forces, the two
Metropolitan Opera stars. Eleanor
Steber, soprano and James Melton,
tenor, appeared in concert in Con-
stitution Hall yesterday presented
by Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey The
program which was divided between
arias, songs and duets, was changed
slightly in the order of the numbers
due to Mr. Melton's need to be in
New York for broadcast and his
too optimistic faith in plane travel
in the winter. In order to catch a
train. his songs and the duets were
put into the first part of the pro-
gram leaving Miss Steber the re-
manning half for her solo numbers.
The two duets, that from the first
act of Massenets "Manon" and
the garden scene from Gounod's
Faust" were so we'll presented by
the artists that the illusion of the
scenes was vivid. The voices har-
monized excellently and the singers
carried out the operate style as far
as it was possible in concert ver-
sion. In spite of Mr. Melton's hur-
ry there was time for an encore. the
lovely 20 soave fanciulla" from Puc-
cini's La Boheme" forming a
dramatic conclusion as the two sing
ers left the stage arm in arm and
the final high c sounded off stage.
In place of the schedule 20 Par
adise" aria from Meyerbeer's 'L'Af-
ricana," Mr. Melton sang Recon-
dita ammonia" from the first act of
Puccini's "Tosca." The quality of
his tenor voice is fresh and robust
with strong carrying power and for
the opera excerpts it was especially
well adapted. But in songs, its
vibrancy seems too sharp and it's
timbre is not easily malleable to the
gentlier emotions as in Rachman-
inoff's 20 cease thy singing, maid
en- fair" and Loeb Lomond." Hall

The attractive Miss Steber, who
has sung here before. provided one
of the vocal pleasures of the season
not only by nature of her lovely
voice but also by her artistry. The
finer facets of her musicianship
are to be found in her delivery of
songs and in the more classical style
of Mozart and Haydn She is so
well grounded in the fundamental
mechanics of her art and personally
reacts to the text of what she sings
with such conviction that she pre-
sents what might be called a re-
naissance of the grand style in
singing.
Although her voice is powerful
enough for opera, it is not the

Civil Service Group
Would SET Limit on
Veterans Preference
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-The Ma
tional Committee on Postwar Civil
Service Problems expressed belief
yesterday that ANY plan for the ex-
elusive, or practically exclusive, ap-
pointment of veterans" would in
time become progressively more
harmful to the effectiveness of the
public service"
The committee, a part of the Ma
tional Civil Service League, sub
mitted recommendatios for inclusion
In any postwar program of veteran
preference in the civil service sfield.
The report asked that present
standards for entrance in public
service be maintained; that veteran
preference apply only for a period
of five years after cessation of hos
tilities or after the discharge of the
veteran, whichever was later; that
preference be confined to original
entrance and not to promotions.
The committee further suggested:
That veterans be required to OBJ
tain at least passing mark in COM
petitive tests before being entitled
to preferred status; that preference
be granted in the form of credits
to be added to earned examination
ratings, with disabled veterans re-
ceiving no more than 10 points and
other veterans receiving no more
than five points.
That retention in positions, in
event of reductions in personnel or
abolition of jobs, be based on SEN
iority and efficiency regardless of
veteran status, and that civil serv-
ice employees who left their jobs for

Abram Chasins, pianist-composer,
to the local public as soloist This
highly gifted artist, heard in Mo-
zart's Concerto No. % in A Major, -
gave sparkling performance so
finely detailed as to evoke a storm
of applause.
Mr.. Chasins has a fiuidity of tone
that is particularly eloquent in
Mozart and a lifting technical
facility that has both warmth and
charm. He comes closer to the ideal
interpreter of this type of music
than most pianists of his diverse
repertoire. To the pearl-like per-
lection Of his tone in the brilliant
passages he brings an underlying
tenderness that adds finer touch
and a more sentient depth. This,
combined with sensitive feeling
for dynamics that understood the
right measure for effect, summed up
performance of rare value. From
his own writings he played the ever
popular Rush Hour in Hong
Kong as encore.

Women Of Congress
Told Diaper Shortage
Is Psychological

The diaper shortage must be psy-
Geological because Al diapers now
are being made for every baby born
In the United States, A. C. Hill OF
the War Production Boards Office
of Civilian Requirements, told io-
quiring congresswomen today.
He appeared with representatives
Of the diaper industry at special
meeting called by Representative
Norton, Democrat. of New Jersey,
to clarity" the diaper shortage and
ffnd a solution.
Mrs. Norton told Mr.. Hill, when
he started his testimony, that she
wished he would explain just what
the problem is because, Il don't
know much about diapers now, since
I've been out of that business a
good many years." Her only child
died IN infancy years ago.
Mothers Have Supplies.
Mr.. Hill, who explained he had
some personal interest in the diaper
situation as the father of one child,
said he spent yesterday calling all
the young mothers he knew and
found all of them excited about the
diaper shortage, although each one
of them had an abundant supply. +"
That made him believe there is
something psychological about
complaints of shortage, he said.
He reported that the number of
diapers being manufactured has
increased from 100000 dozens in
1889 to 10,300,000 dozens now, or
from 26 diapers per baby born in
1889 to Al per baby being born now
A check of stores in a dozen large
cities last Friday, he said, indicated
that most of them had diapers in
stock.
Scrap Drive Suggested.
After listening to the complaints
of representatives of the National
Institute of Diaper Services, Mrs
Norton suggested that diaper scrap
drive might help to solve the cur
rent shortage.
George Garland, executive secre-
tary of the institute, said a diaper
service in Washington actually had
started such drive but that it had
produced only II dozen diapers,
enough to take care of about one
more baby
Stanley PoSner, counsel for the
diaper services, said he believed dia-
pers were being produced, but that
OPA price policies were preventing
them from reaching the laundering
services. OPA representatives said
they soon would complete a study
of the price problem.
Comment by Mrs. Roosevelt.
At her press conference today
Mrs. Roosevelt also took up the
question. Mrs. Roosevelt believes
the War Production Boards limit
ing of diaper production is hard on
women who have been asked to take
war jobs and tend their homes at
the same time A woman with a
large supply of diapers can afford
to send some to a laundry without
running out before they are re-
turned clean Women who have to
rush home to wash their immediate
supply of baby's undies every night
should not be expected to swing a
factory job too, in her opinion.
American men, Mrs Roosevelt
concluded with a wave of the hand,
have not been as quick as English
men to realize that Government
