Broken Leg Lucky For Girl; Defect In Knee Remedied ALBANY. Calif.. Jan. 13 P When six-yeir-nld Mary Ann McMahon fell off her tricvcle and broke her leg, she didn't know what a lucky break that was. In setting the leg, a surgeon also straightened out a knee de fect the child had since birth. Now her father, Dr. Robert T. McMahon, city health officer, Is considering having Mary Ann's other leg broken surgically to straighten that knee. Mary Ann was born with no fib ulas in her legs. A fibula is the second and smaller of the two long bones of the lower leg. She had to wear cumberson casts year after year; doctors had felt she could never walk without them. But then came the accident. A San Francisco surgeon, set ting the leg, saw that If he twisted it slightly the single bone might better bear the child's weight. It worked. Mary Ann walks much better, and a similar operation may be performed on the other knee.

There is a common error all the time In the mailing of birth notices, which are first class and require three cents each, whether sealed or not.

S. gov ernment funds were concerned or else. Five hundred members met this week and were told they would either have to put up an addi tional $175,000 of their own money in the next year or pull down the "restricted clientele" sign. They decided to pull down the restriction. Wealthy Rancher Slated To Die for Murder ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 13 Wealthy John Wallace, Meriweth er County dairyman, must die for the slaying of William H.
