Addrtt-g Dr. William Ilrudy, in care of tliia newnpupcr. I'HOGllISS IX A policy or practice that has been Imposed upon me by years of experience is this: I must never send any body bad news. Uather than riu so I'll ignore a question or tell a Ho that is, ovade an honest answer by saying I do not know or l am unable to form an opin ion. Coupled wtlh this policy, or rather covered by. it, is tho determination to give ; no morbid information, or at least ! lo give none promiscuously. Of i course this policy is a flexible i ono and it never stands in the i way when I believe i can do ! any good by sending bad news or by furnishing morbid informa- tlon. However, I am sole judge i about that. ! Here Is a communication from ;an anxious mother, and It af ; fords me an opportunity to pub lish some good news or at least should be good news to this par ticular mother and to many who share her ideas. She writes: "A week ago Saturday 'my little girl, 4 years old, was hit with a machine and broke her leg and smashed her face. Tho doctor had to put her leg In a plaster of Paris cast, and Monday lie came and took it out of tho cast. Sat urday morning ho came and did tho same thing. What I would like to know is whether that is proper treatment. I a 1 w a y s thought tho leg had to be left in the cast once it was put in till it was all healed. I'leaso let mo know as soon as possible because he said he would come back later In the week and repeat this treat i ment . . " 1 It may havo been the practice !ln old times to put a broken leg In splints or a cast and leave It ! undisturbed for several weeks. The I old-time doctors fancied that the I main purpose of splints or plaster cast was to provide a substitute I rigidity to take the place of the j broken bone. Modern surgery, j however, deals differently with j such conditions. Nowadays tho splint or cast Is used merely a i i a. support for tho muscles anc other soft tissues, Just as dress . lngs, bandages or other supports are used for various wounds. Tho purpose of the spl'nt or cast Is to ; provide rest, which favors the healing process. Hut broken bones treated in Hie old fashioned way, that is. by prolonged immobility In splints or casts, had an unfortunate way of healing in an unsatisfactory wny, so that prolonged or even perma nent functional imparment follow ed the injury. jvionern surgery strives to forestall this, and I be lieve the doctor In the case is giving the best possible treatment. Kvidently ho practices the mod ern methods. It Is generally best to remove a broken limb from splints or cast or other fixed dress ing and carefully massage anu manipulate It a little, , every day or two after the first few days. Of- course, tho doctor's knowledge and judgment guide him In doing this. Such practice, besides as suring more satisfactory outcome of tho Injury, gives the patient greater comfort throughout the course of confinement. I know the older doctors used to apply splints and then "bind" them ('on with Imndapjes that, were In many cases uncomfort ably tight and sometimes harm fully tight. They meant weU. but their knowledge of the pathology was inadequate. The modern sur geon has discorded all such crude methods. Popular notions about casts are mostly based on old-time moth ods. Plaster of Paris splints or casts are often the most comfor table form of dressing available. There Is no torture, no ordeal, about wearing such a dressing, tho the confinement necessarily hns Its annoyances. laymen do well to lay aside their preconceived notions about the treatment of broken bones, when this emergency occurs.

Will you kindly let me know whether there ato any ,phy ; sicians who could remove cata ' raots before the patient becomes i quite blind. W I. I Answer. Some oculists remove ; the cataract in its capsule 'om iparatlvely early, before the patlon' I goes so blind In the belter eye i that he cannot read or do his work with the aid of glasses. 2 do not happen to know of such Ian oculist, within a hundred miles jof your home, but probably there are several.

A CHAMPION KETIHICS I doff my hat to Mr. Tunney; he has acquired all kinds of money ,the standard brand oi fame; there are no laurels worth the winning, andfurther scrap ping would be sinning, and so he qui ten tho game. Let others chase tho filthy dollars: he wants to herd with hlgh-brow-ed scholars In quiet Inglenooks; let gory battles be forsaken ho wants to talk of Francis Bacon and haunt tho world of books. He's always yearned for erudition; to store his mind Is his ambition, a longing whol ly sane; I think he's wise to thus abandon the blowsy ring and take his stand on a high er plane, but soon or late a mighty bruiser, some swagger ing and chesty snoozer,. will swing into the game; a later Sullivan or Cor belt will circle through his shining orbit, and capture wealth and fame. A lot of carnage-mad civilians will pony up their easy mil lions to see the big man fight; and he will fairly bask in glory and be tho hero of the story that bards and authors write. Then Tunney, in the halls of learning, will doubtless foel his bosom burning with something like regret; it's hard to seo the people foster and lioni'.o a cheap Impostor, and make of him a pet. Can Gene withstand the mighty longing to get back where the fans arc thronging, and know the limelight's glare? Will he be perfectly contended to ponder o'er the themes In vented by Rousseau and Vol taire?

In these kil lings and obstinate silences you see coming to life the condottierc of Venetian days, ready to fight on either side, of whom one lives In the finest equestran statue ever made on earth. Mr. Capone can see an excellent reproduction of it in Chicago's art museum. The De Forest Company has ar ranged a daily output of G000 radio tubes, and expects, eventually, to turn out 5,000,000 a year. Other industrialists "wll combine' to turn out 5,000,000 automobiles a year, and the country will absorb them all, with millions of talking machines, electric washers, sweep ers, refrigerators and other modern luxuries that have become necessi ties. It really is a prosperous country. ' The French, made poor by the war, were able to borrow money, for their other financial obligations Saturday, at 3 per cent. Americans pay 7& and 8 per cent. Mr. Ottfnger, New York's able attorney general, suggests that swindling usurers he curbed, and would have banks lend small sums, up to $G00, at C pet cent, to poor borrowers.

Hyde Park By JK'WITT MACKEXZIK LONDON Wh'on tho famous Sir Leo Money and pretty little Miss lreno Kavldge went and sut In Hyde Park together, all on a spring-time evo a few weeks ago, they certainly started some thing. This ancient playground of tha people, which could tell some tall stories If It coud talk, has be come a storm center about which have raged official investigations, long statements in parliament, and columns of heated editorial com ment, since that memorable moon lit night, or perhups the moon wasn't shining. It isn't of vital consequence, becauso the park is said to bo quito entrancing even when it Ih dark. As will be recalled, Sir Leo and Miss Irene were acquitted in po lice epurt on a charge of improp er conduct. Then the police, be ing: under fire, invited Miss Sav Idge to Scotland Yard to answer questions. She sayH they . kept her there for five hours and put her through the third degree, among other things asking very intimate questions about her cloth ing, suoh as no young girl should be compelled to answer tnalo po lice officers. I' have seen a prisoner beaten until . the blood streamed down his face during a third degree in an American police station, and nobody got Very excited about It except thja unfortunate victim and myself. However, England isn't used to the third degree and rose up in wrath over the alle gation that it had been called into use, especially against a help less and Innocent young girl. An official investigation was started, and simutaneoily tho polico stopped making arrests in the Park, whereas they had been in the habit of leading to the police stations each month some seventy people who had broken tho elev enth commandment and got found out. Sir William Joyuson-IIIcks, the home secretary, recently stated that if the police left Hyde Park alono "the result would be a dis grace to civilization within a fort night." The police have been leav ing it largely alono for much more than two weeks already, so ono Ye Poet's Corner The Contest v The sun gives us warmth and light All growing creations take delight.

Famous Refuge assumes that Hyde Park can o longer bo a nice place to go of an evening. In order to understand what the tempest is all about, you must visit Hyde Park after nightfall In the good old summer time. To Hyde Park flock all the Cleopui ras and Antonys who have no bettor placo to go, and if you would be a member in good stand ing of the Hyde Park Night Club you must Have a Ph. D. in tho art of making love. It is no place for amateurs : . 'i Literally hundreds of ' couples congregate there every night, f It Is an amazing sight. There are so many of them that tho pairs are parked only a : few .' yards apart. - But you . can move among them without causing any commo tion, becauso thoy never pay tho slightest bit of attention to , any body. I've seen love-making in somehing like thirteen different countries, but Hyde Park Is a, field of its own. The unswer to a lot of this:is 'to be found in tho conditions under which servant girls are employed here. "Slavics" they call them. Slavics are not permitted to re ceive the gentlemen friends In tho homes where they work. In deed, few homes provide any spe cial sitting-room for tho girls themselves. They use the base ment kitchen, or their little bed rooms. But boy friends are bar red. If a girl wants to visit with-her boy she must go outside to do It. Neither he nor sho has any mon ey to go to the movies or ride on tho motor busses, so they head for Hyde Park or some similar place. It makes one wonder about tho soundness of the philosophy of the working-girl song which Marie Dressier use dto sing In Tillie's Nightmare: "You may tempt the upper class es With your villainous demi-tasses, But heaven will protect the woik ink soil." v Tho police kept pretty closo watch on the park, up to tho tlmo that the Money-Sagidge case ! frightened them off. But the Lon j don bobby is a human sort of I follow, and there is a lot which I ho doesn't choose to boo. A Sweet Singer Ho sang his Inst low, lone song yesterday in a Providence "(R. I.) hospital, scarcely remembered by even the sentimental elders, and, except for charity, would havo found his resting place in the Pot ter's Field. Y'et a score or more of years ago Arthur J. Lamb's naive and unsophisticated ballads wero sung the country over. Ho was unfortunate only In having lived and worked in tho days of low pressure salesmanship and meager royalties. And so he knew but little apparently of the lavish perquisites which go with the composition of popular songs today.- Arthur J. Lamb, however, did leave .a,' mark. He left it during thoso dear, dead days when suitors and sweethearts were content to spend an evening at homo har monizing around tho piano, when the curbstone quartettes and tho minstrel show wero in flower, and when "Only a Bird in a Gilded Cago" caused many a soul to cry in his beer in. the hack rooms of tho saloons. Mr. Lamb was tho composer of that story-telling ballad, among many others, and of a far greater work as far as popu larity was concerned, "Asleep In tho Deep." "Asleep in tho Deep," Indeed, still lingers. No basso, amateur or professional, once considered his repertoire complete without it.- H celebrated the perils of Davy Jones' locker and the ocean wave, and its finale, "So, Beware," al ways took the singer down among tho cellar tones. At least, it did If the singer so chose. Song writing In the day of Arthur J. Lamb was directed at all sorts of voices; the melodies were simple and easy to memorize, and a high note could easily be exchanged for a low one. or vice versa. When tho old-tlmo minstrel sang "Asleep in the Deep' his serious mien and his knitted brow wore as important as tho supposedly deep bass note ho tacked on the end. We are not fooled quite so easily now. There was a little irony in the news that this composer might have found an unmarked grave in tho Potter's Field. And a little sadness, too; he made so many happy when he lived and flourish ed. (Baltimore Sun.) 1 You cannot vote for Herbert Hoover for president unless you aro registered on or before October 6th.
