Thomas L Iloen of Montreal. Like oilier experimental met! oils in surgery and medicine, it had been a lay secret until the technique was applied successfully to the two Alme-d- a cases. The two victims were Paul a CCC worker, whose neck was broken when an automobile overturned, and William Lawrence, who suffered his injury in falling down stairs. e Both had been treated by the method of placing the head and reck in a rigid brace before it was decided to undertake the new surgical technique developed by Dr. Hccn. . ' Under Dr. Iloens method the scalp is anaesthetized, four holes are drilled into the skull, two on each side, and wires strung connecting the broken vertebrae with a pulley and weights. At first twenty-fiv- e pound weights are used to pull and hold the vertebrae in place. So swift is the healing action that the fracture is reduced in a period of six hours. After that weights are sufficient to keep the broken vertebrae in place until completely healed, usually within six weeks. In the case of Regamonti and were taken every Lawrence ten minutes, with the result that a veritable moving picture record was made of .the quick reduction of the fracture. In all the nineteen cases on which the new ' technique has been employed complete cures have been effected. Benjamin Black, superintendent of the Alameda county hospital, reports broken necks occur chiefly in these accidents: Divers who hit the bottom with their head because the water is too shallow, football players, persons who fall down stairs, and automobile accidents. 816 REDUCTION iH EVERY PAIR OF MEN'S AND GROWING GIRLS, SUEDE ti, COMMENTS bidden the springs, the unseen spirit. This legend points to inner little legend re- lates that once in the long ago, the dogwood tree grew strong and stately as the oak. It was the pride of the woods. When material was needed to bulUl the .cross upon which Jesus was crucified, the dogwood tree supplied that material. From that time, the dogwood tree was doomed 'to become slender and scrubby, so that no longer was it the proud tree of the forest, no longer was it used to build a cross. For in giving itself in that sacrifice, henceforth its blossoms were decreed to form a cross, and in the center of each petal, a nail print, brown and stained with blood, told over and over the story of the tree stately and strong enough to build a cross. Only a legend, but it holds the principle of true living. Nature refuses interference with her orderly process of development. Whether the present day dogwood tree, found in abundance in our northern woods, was ever molested in its early growth is not the question. If such were the case, the penalty is distinctly seen by comparing its rugged beauty with frail beauty that has known no bitter conflict nor opposing forces in an orderly growth. Beauty that gives none of itself in the process of living and meeting the demands of life, is ex ternal imitation and not internal development There is a vast difference between a photograph and a living face. The dogwood tree gave up its size but released its strength of life in its measure of service. In sacrificing a rugged exterior, the dogwood tree made singularly sacred its fruit which bears forever the image of the cross; If life spends itself in building one cross, it henceforth knows the kinship of struggle and the bond of indwelling purpose. The cross has always been a symbol of sacrifice which' is at the heart of all achievement. Strong character is essential to sacrifice. ;w grow impatient with small lives which cannot see over the Stop of their own yard fence. Lives that take all and give nothing. Lives that ask all and answer nothing, Lives that demand and dare nothing. Whenever the cross of sacrifice is j eliminated from life, we grow self- ish and unhappy. i Lift the element of sacrifice np In the crowded ways of life, and the weary are given a plaee to rest, the hungry are fed, the naked are clothed, the sick are visited. Lift the cross of sacrifice high up on the altar of the heart, and life blooms In Imperishable deeds. Strength may fail, but love never fails. There may be physical failures, but no spiritual bitterness. As the little fir tree is the symbol of perpetual life, so the dogwood tree is the symbol of perpetual sacrifice: green branches and petals that bear the image of the cross: life and its process of growth. i OLD HAWAIIAN FORT IS PASSING AWAY Souvenir Hunters Destroying Ancient Relic. Honolulu. An old stone fort, the jonly remaining evidence of Russia's attempts to found a colony in Hawaii a century before the islands became an American territory, may ,bc gradually destroyed by souvenir hunters. Small stones ured to fill crevices between the n lava rocks forming the walls of the fort have been parried away by visitors for severrl yerrs, but it was only recently that Eouvcn hunters began ,chipping sections of the main vail. U&css officials are able .to .apnea ! hand-hew- to the historic sentiment 6b" Visiter; to refrain from such actions it is feared the fort in time may be only a memory. Construction cf the fort on Kauai island, 100 miles northwest of here, marked a turbulent international period in Hawaiis history. The Russian American Fur Co., chartered by the Czar and having a monopoly on Alaskan fur, sought a colony in Hawaii to furnish supplies to its trappers in the far north. The Russians first built a fort in Honolulu but withdrew fallowing objections Ly the government. The structure on Kauai island was then built and manned. Because the island officials regarded this as the forerunner of possible annexation by Russia, the Russians were attacked qnd driven away. Actions of the Russian fur traders were repudiated by the Czar. The fart is fairly well preserved, age. It condespite its century-olsists of a thick enclosure of black lava stones, in which at regular intervals are wide embrasures for gun mounts. Outlines of the stone walls for the barracks, powder magazine, armory and observation tower may still be seen. d Hot Spots" in Paris May Close Because of Taxes.

But the lake was deep. Their pikepolos wouldn't reach the logs. The father and son designed a log fisher" a derrick on a raft that reaches down, hooks the logs and hauls them to the surface. During the last three years they have recovered about 225,000 feet of timber. Some went into log cabins in the resort area, others to the saw mill.

Fillmore, elected Vice President in 1843 on the Whig ticket, succeeded to the Presidency in 1850 upon the death of Zachary Taylor and served until 1853. He was defeated for by James Buchanan. He had lived in the Cayuga county house until he was nineteen years old and returned to it many times.

D 1075 EAST 21 ST SOUTH STREET Last C&ve Dwellers in Europe Are Moved Out Budapest The last settlement of cave dwellers in Europe has disappeared. Until recently, in a certain district of the Hungarian county Borsod, not far from the Czechoslovak border, several thousand poor farmers, together with their pigs and poultry, lived in caves into which po ray of the sun ever penetrated. For many decades neither authorities nor public opinion paid any heed to their condition. Then recently a group of socially minded young Hungarian writers roused the nations conscience and started a movement to end this medieval situation. Among the first to respond to their call were members of the cabinet. Minister of Interior Nicholas Koz-m- a donated a neat wooden farmhouse ; this example was followed by his colleagues, Foreign Minister Koioman Von Tanya, Finance Minister Tihamcr F&binyi, and Minister of Commerce Geza Bornemisza. During the summer a new village, with a modern church and school building, was constructed. It was named Mikszatfalva," or Mikszats village, after the writer Mikszat, who, by depicting the plight of the cave dwellers, had greatly contributed to the reform. By the end of September the population had moved into their new homes. To destroy every vestige cf the former shameful situation, the cave settlement was blown up dynamite.

Today, declares the syndicate of dance hall proprietors, their places must make 1,500 francs for every 1,000 francs of expenses to cover their tax bills. And Paris is threatened with the n disappearance of such resorts as the Tabarin, the the Coliseum and the rest. Already, according to M. Hartmann, director and president of the resorts syndicate, Paris spend from 650,000 to 1,800,000 francs for entertainment alone and almost all are operating at a loss. "If the government continues systematically to disregard our situation, we will announce a lockout," M. Hartmann said.
