Reduces
itation Cases
KANSAS CITY, MO. — A bone
“bank” In the medical center at the
University of Kansas has prevented
several amputations and speeded
the recovery of many patients.
It is a system of preserving hu
man heme sections in a deep-freeze
unit until needed in surgery and was
•et up by Dr. James Weaver, head
of the department of orthopedics.
Bone sections ranging from tiny
fragments to pieces eight inches
long and one inch wide are kept in
the “bank.” No complete bones are
preserved.
Dr. Weaver explained that the
bone bank does not keep spare
arms and legs, since techniques
have not been developed to use
them, but that the addition of a
small bone section frequently en-
ables physicians to save a limb
from amputation.
Improperly Knit Fracture ‘
glj The most frequent use of bone-
bank “deposits” is in cases of im
properly knit fractures, the doctor
said. In such cases the faulty bone
area is removed by surgery and a
section from the bone bank is fitted
carefully into the gap. Almost in
variably the substitute bone is ac
cepted by the body and the splice
seals perfectly.
Dr. Weaver explained that bone
grafting operations have increased
recent years and that many sur
geons have performed scores of
them successfully. The practice has
been to obtain the needed bone sec
tions from other parts of the pa
tient's body—usually the hip or shin
—and in many cases this has pre
sented considerable problems.
The bone bank has provided a
simple answer to the question of
bone supply and physicians at the
medical center expect similar re
frigerating facilities to be set up by
other hospitals. So far there are
only three or four in the United
States.

JESTIN
Horns of a Dilemns
Lyin' Jack’s best story was of an
elk he once killed that had s
spread of antlers 15 feet wide. He
always kept thefee, as he said, in
the loft of his cabin. One time aft
er a Ipng absence Lyin’ Jack
showed up in Benton. The boys
were all glad to see him and, after
a round or two of drinks, asked for
a story.
“No, boys,” said Jack, *Tm
through. For years. I’ve been tell
ing these lies—told ’em so often I
got to believing ’em myself. That
story of mine about the elk with
the 15-foot horns is what cured me.
I told about that elk so often that I
knowed the place I killed it. One
night I lit a candle and crawled
up in the loft to view the horns—
an* Fm darned if they weren’t
there!’*
SHHHi
Landlord (to prospective tenant)
—“You know we keep it very quiet
and orderly here. Do you have any
children?”
“No.”
“A piano, radio, or victrola?”
“No.”
“Do you play any musical in
struments? Do you have a dog,
cat, or parrot?”
“No, but my fountain pen
scratches like heck sometimes.”
Haunting Friendship
Rufus: “Rastus, ah thinks we
should agree on sumpin’.”
Rastus: “Yeah, Rufus, an’ what
Is it yo’ wants to agree on?”
Rufus: “Whichever of us dies
fust should come back and tell
t’other what it’s like up dar.”
Rastus (after some x hesitation):
“Well, she’ Rufus, ’at’s a good
idea. But I agrees only on one con
dition.”
Rufus: “What’s dat, Rastus?”
Rastus: “That if you’ die fust,
yo’ come back in de daylight.”

“What Is the difference between
a bird wiui one wing and a bird
with two wings?”
“I give it up.”
“A difference of a pinion.”
SHAKE WELL AFTER TAKING
(
Mrs. Crank’s sleep had been dis
turbed for several nights in a row
by a strange thumping from the
apartment above. She confronted
the landlord and demanded that
the cause of the noise be investi
gated. The landlord, in turn, ap
proached the offending tenant
“What are you doing to cause all
this noise?” he inquired. “You’ll
have to see my doctor,” was the
reply. “Nonsense,” said the land
lord, “what could he have to do
with the matter?” “Well,” an
swered the tenant, “he gave me
some medicine recently, and told
me to take it one week running,
ski? <me week, and so on. And let
me tell you this skipping and run
ning has worn me out too.”
RINGING IN HIS HEAD
A young man dashed Into the
electrician’s shop, his face
flushed with anger. “Didn't I
ask yon yesterday morning to
send a man to mend our door
bell?” he roared, “and didn’t
yon promise to send him round
at once?”
“But we did, sir,” broke in
the manager. “I’m quite sure
of it! Hi, BUI!” he called to one
of his workmen at the back of
the office. “Didn’t yon go round
to Park Lodge yesterday to do
that job?”
“Yessir,” replied BiH. “I went
round all right, and I rang the
bell for over ten minutes, but I
couldn’t get no answer, so I
guessed they must all be out.”
His Own Shakespeard
A Charming Centerpiece
W. S. Gilbert of light-opera fame
was always full of whimsies. At
the Garrick club one evening he
made the < astounding statement
that Shakespeare was a very ob
scure writer. His statement was
immediately protested by most of
those present, and he was asked to
prove it. {
“Well,” said Gilbert, “what do
you make of this passage?”
“ *1 would as lief be thrust
through a quickset hedge as cry
“plosh to a callow throstle.* ”
“There’s nothing obscure in
that,** said one member. “It*s per
fectly clear. Here’s a man, a great
lover of the feathered songsters,
who rather than disturb the carol
ing of the little warbler prefers to
go through the intense pain of
thrusting himself through a thorny
hedge. But I don’t know that pas
sage. In what play does it occur?”
“In no play,” said Gilbert. ‘Tve
just invented it. And jolly good
Shakespeare, too!”

His Head’s OK.
Sam Jones had been suffering
from severe headaches, and asked
his friend; Joe, to .recommend a
doctor. “Dr. Curatall will fix you
up in ,no time,” Joe assured him.
“What will he charge?” asked
Sam, cautiously. “Weil, I can’t
say exactly,” replied Joe, “but he
charges me ten dollars for the first
visit and two dollars each time aft
er thafc.” Sam said he would see
about it. He went home and
thought the matter over. The fol
lowing day he rang Dr. Curatall’s
bell. When the nurse opened the
door, he stepped inside hastily and
announced in a loud voice, “It’s
me again all right, nurse—back
for the second time.”

THE HEEL
The sweet young thing had been
unable to buy the article she want
ed, but in each case the clerk had
assured her that “next time” it
would assuredly be in stock. One
day she called at the store to find
a new clerk on the job.
“Do you have spats yet?” she in
quired.
The clerk blushed. “No, ma’am,**
he stammered; “I’m not living
with my wife now.”

office of a railroad official and
demanded:
“I want you to give orders that
the engineer of the express that
passes through Elm Grcvo at
11:15 be forbidden to Mow the
whistle on Sunday mornings.”
The railroad official retorted:
“Why, that’s impossible. What
leads yon to make such an un
reasonable request?”
“Well, our preacher preaches
until he hears the train whistle
blow—and that confounded ex
press was 35 minutes lab* last
Sunday.”

Jeannie had spent part of the
