proper place to bring a sigh from the lips
of all who see and admire. Here is beauty
that is within the reach of everyone. For at

you can afford to pay, to make your home

BY J. B. Zotmon

Today always will be a red-letter
day for Robert E. Jones, 18-year-old
Rockville youth who lost his hands
in an explosion last January In the
chemistry laboratory at the Richard
Montgomery High School, Rockville.
Surrounded by his mother and sis
ter and a battery of newspaper pho
tographers and reporters, Robert
today demonstrated a pair of arti-
fetal arms and hands given him last
night.
The demonstration included using
a dial phone, picking up a heavy
dining room chair and writing his
name with a pen. Moving the de-
vices back and forth, the youth wore
broad smile on his face as he
realized that his new hands would
enable him to live nearly normal
life.
Manipulated by Harness.
The hands are manipulated by a
crcss-webbing harness attached to
his shoulders. Locking device con-
trolled by a small lever near the
base Of the thumb which makes it
possible to maintain the hands in a
closed position. Whenever the hand
is locked, it can be released only by
tripping the lever manually.
"They feel all right" Robert said,
but they seemed little heavy at
first. But I'm getting use to them" !"
The devices were furnished free of
charge by the Miracle Artificial Arm
Division OF the Orthopedic Equip
ment Co., Bourbon, Ind, and were
obtained through the efforts of
