the Riley Hospital, and Miss Alice Brown and Miss Allene Sherrill, orthopedic nurses of the Indianapolis Public Health Nursing Association. The ‘muscles affected are placed in certain positions to avoid stretching or unnecessary pull. Dr. Oliver W. Greer, director of the division of services for crippled children of the Public Welfare Department, explained that only a small percentage of the persons who get infantile paralysis are paralyzed by it. ~ He said that the orthopedists, naturally, are interested in only those persons who have crippling defects | from the disease. The usual treatment is to have a physiotherapist determine which of the| muscles are affected. He grades them for their power. The patient is kept under observation at all times, with muscle grading taking place at various intervals. The nerve and muscle regeneration usually takes place within a period of two years. Then, if the patient is still paralyzed, surgical procedure, including sometimes transplanting muscles, becomes necessary, Dr. Greer said.

ence yesterday, Dr. Henry Tanner, resident orthopedic surgeon at Riley Hospital, warned nurses to be on the “lookout” for children who complain of painful joints. He said this may well be an early sign of tuberculosis of the bone and that the children should be examined immediately. If it is found that the. children have tuberculosis of the bone, they should be given rest “and that means bed.” The legs and arms should be placed in positions to give the greatest amount of relaxation, he said. The two-day conference was to close this afternoon with a summary by Miss Mary Ferguson, Supervisor of Nursing Service of the State Department of Public Wel-

Wires in Rhyme Now Are Used For Valentines

“It’s not ‘cause youre charming my darling, : Not ‘cause youre fair and divine, Just ‘cause I love you sincerely, I say, be my sweet Valentine.”

WHEN YOU hear this the time will be Feb. 14th, the medium the telephone courtesy of Western Union and the sender your boy friend, girl friend, wife or husband as the case may be. Singing telegrams were adopted by Western Union for birthdays. Now the musical messages have been extended to other holidays as well. The Valentine wires this year will be to the tune of “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean,” and this particular jingle concludes: “My Darling, I love you so dearly, You're charming, youre sweet | and divine, I ask of you, Sweetheart, sincerely, | Will you be my Sweet Valentine?” -

HARKNESS, DONOR OF FORTUNE, DIES

NEW YORK, Jan. 30 (U. P.).— Edward S. Harkness, 66, who made a career of giving away more than $100,000,000, died last night. Mr. Harkness had been ill for three weeks of intestinal grippe. With his wife, the former Mary E. Stillman of New York, whom he married in 1904, he had lived as a semi-recluse, devoting his time {io the distribution of the vast fortune of his father, Stephen V. Harkness, accumulated as the original backer of John D. Rockefeller. His donations—he gave away $55,000,000 between 1920 and 1930— went to education and welfare agencies and individuals in all parts of the world. Mr. Harkness was born in Cleveland, O. His mother gave him his philanthropic ideals and his acute interest in sound investments by which he was able to build upon the $60,000,000 he had inherited from his father’s interests in the Standard Oil trust. His father had put up .all he had—$70,000—for Rockefeller when the oil magnate was in the most serious crisis of his career.

OLD BYRD VESSEL PROVES HER METTLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (U.P) — Admiral Richard E. Byrd today

| praised the co-operative work of an

old barkentine and a modern -seaplane in exploring unknown areas of the Antarctic. ; The veteran explorer said in a raido message to the Navy that the ship-plane combination has enabled his party to push through howling blizzards and dangerous ice floes farther eastward of Ross Sea than any ship of any kind in history. He said the tiny barkentine, U. 8. S. Bear, an old-fashioned vessel with the first of her three masts square-rigged, had proven her mettle in a 65-mile-an-hour Antarctic gale and, with the aid ‘of the seaplane, had discovered more than a score of islands, capes and bays.
