THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM FRIDAY, AUG. 29, 1919. Roads So Rough in East They Break False Teeth ATHOL. Mass., Aug. 30. Exhibiting a set of false teeth that looked as though a machine gun bullet had hit them, a Fitchburg automobolist, name not learned, remarked that he was considering bringing suit against the town of Orange for damages in the breaking of his teeth. He told the men standing in front of the Pequoit house that in going into Orange through Main street his automobile was forced to go over so many bumps and holes in the road that one time his jaws were jammed together, COURT VERDICT OPENS WAY IN H. C. L FIGHT given a bottle of anaesthetic and departed, stopping enroute home to purchase a new wash boiler at $2.65, in which to perforin the last Bad rites on the cat. According to data later made publicthe boiler, the bottle of liquid was empthe boiler, he bottle of liquid was emptied within, and the cover slipped on. In the morning preparations were made for the burial. But" when the boiler cover was lifted, lo! instead of one cat there were five felines! The liquid was only spirits of nitre, given resulting in the breaking of his teeth. The only comforting words that the men could give him was that he was lucky to come out of it with nothing else broken. The stretch of road Is badly ripped up and no effort at re. pair has been made. A favorite expression of motorists as far east as Boston is "riding the bumpers through the town of Orange."

Smith cold storage act. The Court affirmed the Franklin County Common Pleas and Appellate Courts in the Columbus Packing company case, making possible the placing on the market of 150,000 "pounds of confiscated pork loins and furnishing the means of action upon millions of pounds of beef, pork and poultry found to have been stored longer than the law allows. Both by direct statement and by implication the court lays down proportions of law which are said to bo almost revolutionary In the light of past decisions. Extension of Rule SoiQht The first of these is the fact if th motives in food cases may be Judged by conduct, as they may be Judged in case of other infractions of the law. Extension of this principal to the criminal side, as has been advocated by the Prosecuting Attorney of Franklin county, Hugo N. Schlessinger, the victor in today judgment, would give "real effect" to anti-trust laws. Secondary in importance is the proposition that the violation of the cold etorage act in itself constitutes a conspiracy in restraint of trade sternly condemned by the Valentine anti-trust act. By this rule is opened to the

General Assembly an avenue of power to prevent hoarding in articles than meats. GIRLS' DRESS WAS CENSURED 50 YEARS AGO, JUST AS NOW i - (Montgomery Advertiser) A London correspondent discovers a rollicking satire upon those of us who gravely shako our heads as we contemplate the manners and dress of many young folk of the day. The correspondent finds that in the Saturday Iteview of fifty years aso the following articlo was printed: "The girl of the period is a creature who dyes her hair and paints her face as the first articles of her personal religion a creature whose sole idea of life is fun, and who sole aim is unbounded luxury, and whose dress 13 the chirf object of such thoughf and Intellect as she possesses. Hor main endeavor is to outlive her neighbors in the extravagance of fashion. If a sensible fashion lifts the gown out of the rr.ud she raises her. "All men whose opinion is worth having prefer the simple and genuine girl of the past, with her tender little ways and pretty bashful modesties, to this loud and rampant modernization, with her false red hair and painted skin, talking slang as glibly as a man, and by preference leading the conversation to- doubtful subjects All we can do is wait patiently until the national madness has passed out anT women have come back again to the old English idea." Were Headstrong, Too Not a few modern writers and private talkers have said thing3 to the same effect. We hjar it very day and hearing It we may accept it as a scathing indictment of the new girl, just as our forbears accepted the foregoing article as a just indictment of the girls of a half century ago. Headstrong forward and disobedi-1 ent young people were known long before the time of the Review's editorial. Readers of the "Last Days of rompeil," may recall the lamentation of a chief character that young people of his time were not as reverent and respectful in the presence of their elders as they had been in a former generation. Neither were they as religious. The Apostle Paul, In writing his epistolary messages, thought it pertinent and timely to remind women not to be too forward in church. . As it appeared to i u., it was necessary for! him. as an authority, to repress wo-! men. warninc th-m specifically against j bobbing their hair. i It seems that ihe race has always s topped to ask now and then, "What 1 has become of the old-fashioned girl?", Bull Pep From Nowhere Puts Oat Fire in Home SPRINGFIKI.D.

The newest outcropping .of trade unionism is contained in the first annual report of the rdvisory committee on the welfr'-e of the blind which urges wage scales for tho blind. Is is recommended that these scales be used as a basis for reckoning compensation of blind employes, emphasizing the point that these rates of pay should be augmented as in the majority of cases, strict adherence to these scales would not yield blind workmen a living wage. Of 25,840 blind persons dealt within the report, 11,895 were classed as unemployable. i.vi.imr fclt tttn house of E. P, Tvier of Danna, Mass., eight times in 11Ci,r

MENDING OF SEVERED NERVES IS LATEST WONDER OF SURGICAL WORK OF U. S, ARMY

(Philadelphia Record) On the face of it. to you, who may pause casually on your tour of inspection of the huge base hospital here, the case might present no exceptional interest. One of the many victims of the hiph explosives, shrapnel or other wounddealing devices of the Hun, pallant young George Spletzer, of Boryan, O., lies upon what looks like a four-poster bed. Along tho posts runs a supporting frame, and from the frame there runs a stout rope. At the end of the rope is a metal sling, or container, and in that Iron stirrup the wounded soldier rests his limbs. It looks almost like some childish toy, a thing contrived to keep this Yank amused during his convalescence here, until you understand that the plucky soldier will have to keep that position in his bed for exactly two months, and perhaps more, that the shattered nerves may join. You, sick abed with an illness wholly elsewhere than in your limbs, know how fretful one gets when keeping placed, so there and hero, the uncomplaining young fellow feels shooting pains every moment or so, tho first indication that nerve regeneration is ! settine in. that the nerves which were shattered and whose ends were operated on here are working their way to meet, end with end. When they do; when finally, the surgeons see fit to release the young man, whose nerves will, so far as practical purposes po, be joined as whrtlo na iinntVifr fafiir -will 1

Brockhart, of the base hospital here, for performing the almost superhuman feat of actually mending torn nerves. Delicate work! I lark back, if you will, to your district school physiology; recollect what you learned of the nerves and how very, very fine they are: how supersensitive each to very faintest stimuli!, or interference from without; and then fancy a bis; human hand attempting to mt.nd Ihe severed telegraph lines of the body and get the messages to run freely, place to place!

Uncle Sam, however, gave his pledge, at the start of the late world war, that every man should be returned home, if alive, ns near whole as seence might make him. and u? at Camn Sh.nman (Ik; captain and his corps of experts are doing their best , to make good thp pledge. Manv and varied the wounds incurred i" battle; none, however, more frequent than those which cut in twain the nerves. The very largest number of such injuries, the Camp Sherman experts tell ui occur in the great, sciatic and in the medial or nerve of the arm. Notably with gunshot ! wounds these are the vast majority. Not alone does tho shot pierce the nerve, but. by the time such patient may reach camp, far overseas here, scar-tissue will have formed, and be pressing, compressing, the nerve in the course of its contraction. Again, a bullet passing squarely through a nerve may have carried other matter along in its wake, and this causes complications here. Not a True Healing In fact, according to ihe doctors at camp, where nerves are only partly divided, or where sundered, the vast per cent, of Wounds become spetic long before the men reach their care. Long suppuration, or discharge accompanies such wounds then; scar-tissue forni3 in the shattered nerve. The scar which is formed, however, i", not a true healing, and so, farm from representing things back at normal, it, too, interferes quite "as much with the nerve impulses getting through as would the sundering of the nerve itself.

It is trimmed with near seal collar and cuffs and front and back panels which extend functions present just one answer: The affected parts of the nerve must be removed; the ends, at points nearest to the place of parting, must be brought to join. Joining nerves to make the ends grow, each to each, be - comes, then, a task to try the patience of doctor and patient, indeed. "Just as an example," the doctor stated, "a day or so since we had a case where two inche3.of the great sciatic had been destroyed. This in jury was the result of fhe explosion of a high-explosive shell, resulting, very obviously, in a terrible tearing of the tissues, as well as cutting the nerve. "By and by the time came to remove the scar tissue allowed to form from the wound here. Bringing the Nerves Tcfjsther "Then, in order to go on with the case, we found we must flex the man's leg as though it were bent. That done, to bring the nerves to join, he will have to stay in that most, trying position a full two months, and very likely more. If the wound heals without much trouble in that time we will then gradually stretch the leg to get it straight and normal. That too, will take more time still; but rest assuerd that when we are through tho soldier boy will be every much as he was before the war." Queejiy enough, in almost all cases where a man's nerve is shattered, he is not nervous in our popular sense. This, very obviously, is in the sur-1 geon's favor, for even without irrita - bility on the part of the subject he is P to nave trouble enow. t,ven the !
