Father Dies on Squab
Hunting Effort to
Buy Child's Doll
SEATTLE, Dec. 21-(;P)-Wee
Marjorie Keene's eyes danced
with Joyous animation a few days
ago as she stood with her father
before a toy shop window, admir
ing a gaily dressed cheap doll.
The unemployed father, Her
bert Marvin Keene, 29, deter
mined to get it for his 20-month-
old daughter.
"I'll make enough tomorrow to
buy her the doll, if it'a the last
thing I do," he told his wife last
night.
It was. He lost his life today
in his determined attempt to earn
the money needed to bring a bit
of Christmas Joy to little Mar
jorie. Keene recalled hat as a boy
he found squab hunting profit
able, hut oft-times dangerous. He
climbed along the edges of build
ings, under bridges and along via
duct girders to catch the pigeons
and stuff them in his clothing.
He carried a silver plate in his
skull as a grim reminder of one
serious fall on a bird-bagging expedition.
"They paid him 20 cents apiece
for the pigeons and as much as
30 cents for choice ones," his sis
ter. Miss Shirley Keene, related
today. "He'd climb along the
buildings, sometimes hand over
hand, and stuff the birds inside
his blazer. Sometimes he'd make
several dollars on one hunting
expedition."
Keene set out this morning on
a pigeon hunt. A few hours later
a railroad detective found his
body under a viaduct. He had
fallen 20 feet to his death.
Beside the body was a plump
pigeon, a choice bird, worth Just
about the price of a baby girl's
raggedy doll.

"2-Bit" Fracture
Aid Is Described
Near Perfect Method Told,
Setting Pelvic Bones;
t " m no Anaesthetic .
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Preaa Science Editor
NEW YORK, Dec. .-Three
35-cent hardware Store turn buck
les and enough plaster-of -parts to
encase the legs until they are
held stiff like scissor, blades
make a new, almost painless and
nearly 100 per cent successful
method of setting and he a ling
broken human pelvic bones.
Setting a broken pelvis is like
putting together a broken pret
zel. It has been one of the dif fi
cult, harrowing and sometimes
hazardous ordeals.
The new technique was de
scribed today to the New York
aeademy of medicine by Dr. F,
Walter Carruthers, of Little Rock,
a fellow of the American College
of Surgeons.
The method was invented, he
said, not by himself, but by Dr,
S. A. Jahss, of New York City
He reported five years of Inten
sive work spent perfecting the de
tails and some surprising results.
The pelvic bones are a dough
nut-shaped ring, horizontal across
the bottom of the abdomen, with
upright bones going In both direc
tions. The old treatments were
numerous, tedious, often ezpen
slve, encasing the whole abdomen
and lower extremities in plaster-
or-paris, immobilizing the pa
tient attaching him . to an over
head frame sometimes, or in a
hammock.
The new method touches only
the legs. When they are set In
the plaster, a turnbuckle, an Iron
gadget which either lengthens or
shortens by turning its middle, Is
fixed to bridge between the legs
about at the knees. Using this
like the hinge of scissors blades,
the legs above the knees can he
pressed outward by pushing them
at the ankles toward a close-toge
ther position.
This spreads the broken "dough
nut above Into normal - shape.
permits bringing other damaged
pretzel ' parts into line, and
then fixing the position with two
more turnbuckle leg-to-leg brid
ges, one above and one below the
knees.
Dr. Carrufhers reported on 43
cases, Zl or them women, isone
needed an anaesthetic for the
"setting." All recovered with good
pelvic bones. Not one had to be
"immobilized" In the old way.
Dog Racing Denied
For Oregon Fair
The state board of agriculture
yesterday denied a request that
dog racing be conducted at the
1941 state fair.
Leland B. Shaw, Portland,
president of the Greyhound
Breeders' association, proposed
night dog races in addition to the
afternoon horse races on the state
fair track, and George C. Bovee,
Portland, suggested that the dogs
supersede the horses entirely.
The board, however, recom
mended that greyhound breeding
in Oregon be recognized by estab
lishing an exhibit class at the fair
for these dogs. - -
The 1941 fair will open Septem
ber 7, the board. In semi-annual
session, decided.
