What Is Cause Os Sciatica?

\ MOST people think of sciatica " V *jK e f lnit e disease, but to doc-, tors the term refers to a particular type of pain which occurs in the Jegion._of the great sciatic verve. This nerve travels from the Jpwer part of the. spine down 'the bapk of the thigh and the calf .of thedeg. | '> In* general .sciatic pain follows th© cdtirse of this nerve, but it may extend as far f as the heel and even \into the foot. In the Vast n|ajority_4»f eases.it is caused by, some' disturbance of the "s<-i---atjc jiehVe, though .sometimes otlibr nerves in the same region nifty be at fault. ( Sine:’ this disturbance of the nerves may be about by a variety ,of-/causes, a thorough Mtady is needed in each base;to adteriiiine the source before effective treatment bfe r < arritpd out. This means a complete dilatory of the patient’s syihp toms: a physical' examination; examinations of the urine and 'blood, and X : rays of'the lower /part of the spine and hip Lones In recent tines, it has been ■ found that in more than nine out; of thu cases of sciatica the trouble is due to a protruded intervertebral disk. These disks are cartilage between the .small bones of the spine. It is possible to de tormlne whether the sciatic nerve or other nerves are affected by the disturbance in the legs. For example, with sciatic nerve trouble, there, may be weakness of the muscles 'which extenu to tlje an- ' hie and foot. On the other hand. 1 if nerves other , than the- sciatic AI nerve are affected, w eakness will affect .the which extend to the knee. Disturbances of sensation also occur. , , Sciatica may also be produced by tumor growths; inflammation of the jOiulb in the lower part of

Baseball has been\ introduced into Egypt. A team of American marines recently played a nine from the faculty of Fouad University. To enlighten the wide-eyed audience, an explanatory leaflet was distributed at the gate, and a running description \in Arabic was given through a loudspeaker. It is hard for Americans to understand why baseball has not taken abroad. Japan is almost, the only A reign country where ft has been really popular. In view of this lack of appeal, we probably need not look forward, to the time when the Pyramid] Stonemasons meet the Sphinx Athletics, . i o or '. We were again reminded of the great opportunities in this country by reading ot the career of a New York man\ w{m> died a multimillionaire; He was only 68, bpt was recognised as \>ne of the leading contractors in New York City and had built nearly of all subways in; the .big metropolis. He was born in Munsk, Russia, came to the United States when a boy of eleven, earning his passage by peeling potatoes aboard skip. Later he became a newspaper carrier and worked in a Hogging camp. He did ncit have the advantage of a formal Oducatioi}, but knew how to work and had unlimited faith jn his adopted ebuntiy. ; —o —Uo-I , Jt has been suggested that traffic on the proposed;Qhio turnpike be routed to the left;instead of to conventional right. As east and west-bound roadways would, be separated, this, would make little difference to the as he would be to and automatically kept‘op the proper roadway. The designer has suggested, on the theory;that carb go-' fng out of control are more likely' to vepr tb the left than to the right, that there would be fewer accidents caused by ears crossing the, divided strip into the wrong roadway. The innovation also would simplify construction. A way to reduce Occidents has long been sought and it might well turn out to be something as simple as this. \ ‘ J ; '

the spine; fracture of one of the bones in the spine; absceses; inflammation of the bones in the spine, and arthritis. In addition to the imin, there may be some stiffness i and soreness in the lower part of The Coughing and sneezing -make the. pain worse. Sitting in a (-hair or riding in a car ma'y increase the discomfbrt. Numbness and tingling in the leg are often present. , The treatment for the , protruded intervertebral disk may. be either conservative or surgical. The -conservative treatment consists of rest, sleeping on a hard bed, the giving of pain-relieving preparations, heat and massage, and supporting tHb lower part o' the with a brace br cast. Rest means complete rest in bed, except for getting up for meals.. This may be continued for two or more weeks. r .Operation maj be required when the attack is extremely severe and incapacitates ths patient, or if the treatment fails to bring improvement. _ AND ANSWERS , C.D.: What causes slight discharge from the navel? Answer: There are twj or three possible causes for a continuou•> discharge from she nhVel. It mav be that there is .some chronic infection .present whk-H has failed to up, or a baby may have •what is known as Meckel's diverticulum. In this condition, there is a connection between the intestine and the navel opening. The discharge may also be due to an abscess of the navel. Sometimes, a little tumor, known as a granuloma, forms; thia keeps the navel from healing Touching the granuloma with silver nitrate solution will help to get' rid of it. 1 I

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR IT WAS dan who eventually brought word ot Erron. He came into the taproom one September morning, shouting from the door. "Darby, have ye heard? Have ye neard?" His voice shook with . emotion. ,“Our fleet’s beat the British! That young Perry fought it out to a fine finish!" His shouting this, too, brought Jennet and Becky from the kitchen, Toby from some chore outsidei k A Courier, Dan said, had stopped at the yard the evening before on his way down river to spread the news ot the victory there. It had oeen a fierce fight—two hours or more of broadsides back and forth until there wasn’t a spar or bit bf n £ging left on either flagship—the smaller craft firing their guns, same time. \ ' Jennet broke\into Dan’s account. “The brig—was she ... ?" ' Dan's laugh filled the room. "Not that one, missy! She’s afloat and I’ll wager as sound as the day she, slid into the water and you blessed her.’’ , Str an g e1 y Jennet burst' into tears, but ner eyes were as bright as Dan’s. “It’s the lucky pendant. Dan! Erron hid it in a cabiri!" "Aye, that boy set i- lot Os store by that bit ot cloth and mebbe it did keep the ship from narm. Erron, too; He’s on her . ..’’ “Erron? He went along on her that day?" .» ' “Didn't ye’know? He sent word back by one', of j the Frenchies.

already nad neard of the naval engagement off Presqu’ile but hstened willingly while Dan repeated hk story. It was good tc the ears • —a duel of courage and seaman-, ship and fought to a decisive finish—not like those tales of the skirmishes back 'and forth across the river, which m the end gained little for either side. Most of the sailors were from the Black Rock settlement or near by, back count try; Erron was one ot them. And now Err.on, tor-his part in the battle, wa.« a hero. Jennet went back to the kitchen. | Her heart was beating fast and she still wanted to cry—it was relief over the survival ot the brig, she told herself. Pride in it. Oh. she loved the little ship. She hoped Erron would hurry home to tell himself how she had proven her worth. < Throughout the evening bonfires burned along tha river’s shore in celebration ot the victory and loud singing ana shouting filled the usual quiet. The war was over, men said to one another. Or as good as over. Across the river, all was still and dark, and wasn’t that a sign ot defeat ? Jennet had wanted a bonfire at the landing but Quint nad shaken his hea at ner suggestion. They’d need, the wood soon to' keep them warm. So she nad to content fieriself with sitting on the bank with Becky and watching the other fires leap high, die down to blaze again as fresh fuel was piled on them Wheni the singing came to their cars, "Hail. Columbia! happy land; Hail, ye heroes..." Jennet sang along with the other voices to do honor to Erron and Captain Perry. There was singing in the tapk room. too. Quint moved among them helping Toby serve them, exchanging Calk. but his face did not reflect the jubilation on theirs. One victory, even such as this of Perry’s, would not end the war. It would go on for months with its waste and stupidity. But, the celebration over, the men m the settlement went back soberly enough to their daily ac- ■ cupations.

GE Experts Solder Glass To Metal Bond Is Stronger Than Glass Itself ' Schenectady, N. Y., April 11 — General Electric company engineers can sohler glass to metal in a process which makes a bond stronger than the glass itself. The method, which can also be used to solder metal to ceramics and carbom was originated by scientists of the G. E. research laboratory, and is currently being tested; for industrial applications by the' company's general engineering laboratory. . \f\ The glass and metal areas th be soldered are paipted with a thin layer of titanium hydride, and solder is placed upon both painted areas. The are placed together and then heated under a vacuum. v When the temperature reaches about 900° Fahrenheit, the titanium hydride > This causes the solder, which has al-, ready become i molten, to adtibre to the titanium-painted areas \-of both the gtyss and metal., A strong, tight bond ds formed upon cooling, according to the; engineers. By using soft metal solders, it Is possible to subject this glass-to-metal seal to rapid temperature changes'without danger! of cracking, despite the wide difference in temperature expansions between £lass and metal. is possible because the ' differences in movement are absorbed; by the solder, the engineers explained. The new technique- is nqw in use in aircraft ignition systems, and laboratory investigations have Suggested possible applications in the manufacture of transformers, capacitors; and electric motors. These possibilities are now under consideration, according to laboratory engineers. Early work on the process was donbby Floyd C. Kelley and Ralph J. Bond ley of the G. E. research laboratory, and some of the present investigations are being conducted by Lawrence J. Hogue of the general engineering laboratory.

Stolen Coronation Stone Is Returned Historic British Stone Is Returned Arbroath Abbey, Scotland. Apr. * 11—(UP) — The historic coronation stone, stolen from Westminster Abbey last Christmas morning, was returned today to ancient Arbroath Abbey. The stone was laid on the altar of King William the Lion by three unidentified men almost 631 years to the day that Scotland proclaimed independence of -England in the historic "declaration of Arbroath.” James Wishart. custodian of the Abbey, said stone was brought to the Abbey in an automobile thib afternoon by the three men. "I saw them remove-something heavy \and came to the conclusion that it was the stone of destiny,'* Wishart said. - "They asked if 1 would take delivery of it and I said I would accept it, at least until the police came. \ j ‘‘They left two envelopes on the • s|:one. which was covered with the St. Andrews flag. “in the excitement I forgot to ask\them their names. They shook hands wif.H mb and carried the stone to thd high altar.” The altar on which the stone* was I laid covers the l grave of King • William, who dedicated the edj- • fice. the mbst magnificent in all I Scotland, 45 miles northeast of Edinburgh. I A Scottish parliament met in I Arbroath Abbey on April 6, 1320, and proclaimed the independence of Scotland. The proclamation, addressed to the Pope, said Robert ' the Bruce was the lord and sovereign of Scotland. It asserted'that Scotland would fight to maintain its independence of England so long as 100 Scotsmen were salive.-
