Don't Disregard a Knee Pain

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IT la not at all uncommon for athletes to come to the physician's office complaining of “a trick knee" or for a patient to say, “Doctor. my knee goes out of joint.” These people have what Is known u an internal derangement of the knee joint, and moat often thia derangement consists of either a tear in the cartilage between the hones and the joint, or ■ nit of materia! loose in the joint. The symptoms of those two disorders usually consist of pain, lock ing or catchin* of the joint, or swelling. It may be that only one of these symptoms will show up. but tn most instances all three will be present together. Careful Examination If a patient complains of some trouble with the joint, he should of course have a careful examination. He is allowed to walk so that the doctor can observe whether or not there is swelling of the joint or any wasting of the large muscles of the thigh. Following this examination. an X-ray of the joint is ta>a* TM X ray wIU »*♦ Mtarily shew what disturbance is prosoat, but it is helpful 1b the

This is Monte Cristo in the Mediter ranean off the Italian coast, and seen by many local G. !.'• celebrated for its association with Alexandre Dumas' fictional character, the Count of Monte Cristo. A recent news story reports that great fires have been raging on it, presumably left by its many, tourists or campers. Dumas wax inspired, so the story goes, by seeing this rocky islet as he sailed by, and determined to center a romance around it. The result was The Count of Monte Cristo, popular for over a century among readers ami later a favorite with stage-goers and [Mirons of the films. The tale of an injured man suddenly gaining great wealth and thus becoming able t<> avenge himself, has always fascinated people who think ordinary life too prosaic, and who get pleasure from reading of the sudden ups and downs of others. Fortunately no buildings associated with the count exist to be destroyed. And the cave in which the penniless Edmond Dantes found the Abbe Faria's treasure is beyond harm by fire.

diagnosis. For example, a tear of the car lilage and injury to the soft tissue are not often visible In the X-ray. On the other hand. If there is calcium or limo deposit or a loose piece of bone, or a break In the bone, it will show in the X-ray plate. Cause of Derangements According to Dr. Mark B. Coventry of the Mayo Clinic, the main cause of derangement of the knee joint is a weakness of the large muscle In the thigh known as the qpadricepa femoris A complete cure cannot be brought about unless this muscle Is brought back to normal. This often requires a systematic program of exercises In the case of a loose hody in the joint or a tear in the cartilage, operative treatment Is often neces sary to bring about a cure. !<eavInga loose hit of material In the joint will result In injury to the oartilagp. and thus may cause permanent disability. Whenever trouble with th* knee joint occurs, immediate study by an orthopedic specialist would appear advisable. When the cause of the tfHM* id feuMable tyfca of treatment ran be carried but.

Auto Owners— Have You Changed Your Address? Thousand!! of car license applications will go astray this year unless Hoosier motorists report changes of address, the bureau of motor vehicles warned today. In a joint statement issued by Secretary of State Thomas E. Hath, and motor vehicle director, H. Hale Brown, the bureau set September 1, as the deadline for such reports. "Every year we receive al»out 80,000 changes," Mr. Brown said. "And regularly, every year, about 1 00,000 of the applications we fill out and send to motorists get lost. That means, Mr. Bath said, that the car owners who failed to report have to fill out entirely new applications. It means extra work for the department and possible serious delay In getting plates issued. Forms on which to report address changes are obtainable at any license branch in the state, the officials said, or by mall from the central bureau in Indianapolis. They can be filled out right at the branch or mailed either to the branch or to the bureau of motor vehicles, State House, IndianapoUs, Ind.

Out of it came Bill's face and ahe was seeing it as she had not aeen it then for her atony blindneaa. stunned, tight-lipped as her own in grief, hard as her own with a bitter, terrible rebellion. With a little moan she dropped down on the bank at the side of the road, covered her face with her hands. Oh. why hadn’t she known that he was suffering the same bleak anguish that she did? Os course! Os course! Nellie was his baby! In each other's arms they’d have found some comfort. Instead she had cried: “Don't touch me!" Built a thick wall of the tragic circumstance*, After that, was then anything aha could say to Bill?

It was • long interval before ■he roused. When she did it was first a faint, detached surprise at finding herself on the bank of the hillroad, as if her mind and heart had been too far away for it to be possible. She looked around her, to place her whereabouts. Through the trees she could see the roof of the little house and her eyes followed Its outline, fell lower to the lane which led to the house. Then she sprang to her feet, trembling. ▲ car was standing where Rufus usually left his car, but it was not Rufus’. With a little cry she began to run down the hill. She spoke aloud as she ran, tn broken, breathless snatches cf words. “It isn’t—it's too wonderful to happen—he doesn’t know—ls it is he. he’s only come—he thinks—oh, what will he say?"

They had i gone into the parlor and were sitting on the settee, Diane's hand in his. “Do you think it hasn’t been awful for me?" But, aloud, she answered: "Maybe we needed somethfnk like this— ’ Bill's laugh, cutting in to deprecate that, was expressive of rebuke. "Couldn't you have devised less dramatic means to reach it? I had hard work explaining to Carrie that next morning, that you'd gone on a trip. To my family, too." His pride, Diane thought, with a faint discouragement Must she reason that it had acted to hide failure to the last possible moment, because Bill hated failure? Must she take his reproaches meekly? She had felt his arms around her again, hts lips on hers, the surge of his passion In their touch, but she had not reached him I “It was very unfair tn you to think I’d take any part in that suit against your father," he continued in the same tone of restrained rebuke. He could not see her face and. when she said nothing, he added: “As to that. Dean’s been in conference with your father’s lawyers and he’s convinced that the plaintiff hasn’t any case." “You mean there won’t be a trial, with everyone against Dad?" “That’s what I’m saying. Weren’t you listening?" “The man with a gun," Diane repeated, with a little smile. Bill had expected a more definite expression of relief, “What’s that. Di?" "Something Rufus said about Bad." «h. drew suddenly away from him, drew her hand from his. BID. you must know it was Rufus who brought me here.
