PLUM THE STONE -AGE SURGEONS SPLINTED ARMS .. Among the interesting race of a lost civilization recently brought to light by the excavation of the+. Pueblo ruin at Aztec, N. M., where the American Museum of Natural History, of New York is carrying on, investiga- tions, is the skeleton of atwenty- year-old girl bearing the evidence of a, terrible injury of primitive surgical treatment. Earl II. Morris; who is in charge of the excavation, states •that the skeleton was found lying on its back; the left hip was badly fractured, a portion of it having been broken. a- way. In. addition, the left forearm /showed two breaks and extreme dis- placement. "At least six splintssurrounded the broken arm," says Mr. Morris. ``Since it is to be assumed that there are two or three more splints hidden by the ruidisturbed earth beneath the bones, the probable, total number is eight or nine. These splints are of wood, averaging seven inches in length, one-half inch in. width and been dressed to the desired form. Each is flat on its inner surface and curved on the outer sid' e. "From the condition of this skeIt-` ton the conclusion may be drawn that the treatment of the fracture othe pelvis if it was recognized at all was beyond the skill of the primi ive surgeon. As death resulted before sufficient time had elapsed to permit healing of the arm to begin,!the skill of the surgeon must remain in doubt. Uncertainty in regard to this point, however, does - not detract from the major fact established, namely, that the Pueblo practitioner of the Stone Age had- already learned the use of splints in the treatment of fracture."

Apart from the consideration of safety of the contents of the envel- tification mark 'older than histoly itself. Among the most ancient a barbarous tribes' the hunters would make. rude scratches upon their spears for the purpose of identthcation, and from these scratches have been evolved the scarabs, sigilla, signets, monograms, kalograms, coats of arms and other insignia Which have been used for the same primary purpose. The seals of the Egyptians were cylindrical rollers of stone, en- graved with hieroglyphics and the impression was made by rolling them upon a mixture of clay and straw. The Greeks, and later, the Romans, used signets in connection with a compound of clay and bees- wax, In the 14th century the _Spaniards brought back from Chma a substance made of resin. lac and clay which hardened quickly after being heated and this was known as "Spanish wax," in spite of the fact that there was no wax in it. The "sealing wax" of to -day is a similar product and, while the prac- tice of attaching seals to letters has ahnost died out in the rush of modern correspondence, this ancient custom is still followed in the case of official and legal documents. WHEN CORN IS RIPE Some housewives do not realize the possibilities in corn for the making of delicious soup. Yet not only one, but many good soups can be made from this distinctively American veg- etable. Green corn soup is the easiest to make. To make it, boil young corn until it is tender and then 'grate off the kernels from the cobs. Force them througgi a vegetable presser, season them with salt, pep- per and melted butter and mix with hot milk, thickened with flour and water. For a quart of milk 1% cups of corn pulp would be wanted, and two tablespoons of flour. Serve very Green Corn Puree. -Puree ofgreen corn is more difficult to make, but it is delightful in its unexpected flavor. Wash and drain a quart of sweet corn, and put it into a saucepan with two quarts of boiling water, two or three small onions and a little thyme and parsley. Add two or three cloves, a carrot cut in small pieces 'and salt and pepper. Boil until the corn is tender, Then pour the liquid through a sieve and remove the onions, carrots and other- flavoring ingredients.

They reduced the German army to little more than an armed force of police whose needy can be amply sup- plied from -the state arsenals at Spandau and 'elsewhere and at the same timethey gave the factories of the Entente a monopoly in the trade of war materiah With a thorough- ness and rapidity which are proof of then excellence of their staff and of their equipment, Krupp's scrapped much of what had; made their pride and their fortune, 'and adapted their works to an: infinitely varied peace production. Soon nothing but exhi- bition pieces will remain to tell of the Murderous engines that once grew in their shops. Of course Krupp's : have always been in the first -place a cast -steel factory. The enormous furnaces con tinue their work, unconcerned at the transformation suffered by the, manu- factured ane factured ,product. Simple, in compari- son, has also been the evolution of the armor -plate rolling mills. Here only certain changes in the quality and strength of the plate produced were required. But the- effects of the new times soon become apparent when one enters the shops in which -arms and munitions were formerly manufactured. In the entrance hall of the building which contains the magnificent offices of the firm there hangs a huge plan, designed for the guidance of the German and neutral visitors who were distinguished enough to obtain access to the works during the war. It shows at a glance the shops which produced guns and other war material, as well as the constructions newly added during the past five years. I chose to begin the round with four great shops built three years ago for the execution of the so-called "Hindenburg Programme" of .increas- ed munition production. One of them, with a frontage of 500 metres, in which 90 per cent. of the workers were women, was exclusively devoted to the manufacture of shells. Not a hand, not a wheel now moves in it. In a second wheels for gun carriages used to be made. With the exception of a small portion, where buffers and other small parts for locomotives are being made, the shop is now ' idle. Quiet lies also a thirds formerly man- ufacturing "gnna of middle calibre; only that section of it which produced range -finders is now active, having turned its attention to cream .separ- atore and other small dairy imple- ments. The lasti and greatest of the "Hin- denburg" buildings, covering a surface of about 18 acres, is the only one of them in which work proceeds at full speed. It is. a beautiful, self-con- tained shop, in which blocks of steel were transformed into big gun's, ready for use, at the rate of three every two days; now it transforms the raw material into railway 'engines, which issue from it ready to take a train in tow. The first of them was delivered at the beginning of -December. When in full working order the shop is to turn out one engine and ten railway truck every day. The manufacture of railway engines at Krupp's is an in- novation; but is likely to attain prim- ary importance. The lack of good engines is now the hardest problem of' German transport. Notwithstand- ing the surrender of 5,000 engines to the Entente, their total number is ;still considerable; but most of them are badly in need of repair, while those constructed of ' inferior material during the war require complete. overhauling. the sieve after cutting it from the ears. Return the puree to the fire with a little rich broth and two eunces of bqtter, Stir over the fire a few Minutes and serve. • Another corn soup is made in this way: Stew a knuckle of veal and • strain the broth. Add to it the corn grated from twelve uncooked ears and a teaspoon of farina. Cook it for half an hour and season it with salt and pepper, 'a little chopped parsley and a hard boiled egg chopped fine. Add a cup of milk and the yolks of two eggs, beaten -together, and serve the moment it reaches the boiling point. Green corn and tomatoes together make a tempting soup. Cut up two pounds of beef in -small pieces and put it in a saucepan with three quarts of water. Boil gently for two 'hours' and skim it. Add several large and ripe tomatoes and boil for another hour. Then pass it through a sieve and return' it to the fire. Boil the kernels from a few ears of tender corn in salted water, strain them, add them to the soup, and add also butter, pepper and salt. Serve with croutons. THE KRUPP WORKS IN PEACE A writer in the Manchester Guard- ian tells of a visit recently paid to the great Krupp Works at Essen, the premier industrial plant of Germany. After a period of fifty years devoted almost exclusively to the production of instruments of war it has now turned definitely to the works of peace'. When toward the end of the fifties of the last century Alfred Krupp pro- duced a cast -steel tube for a three - pounder gun he solved most of the financial difficulties under which his firm had labored since its establish- ment in 1811, and laid the foundation for many a financial burden which has troubled European, Governmehts dur- ing the last half -century. For in that period arms in general, and' artillery in particular, have been revolutionized in every respect; and the ever-chang- ing views as to quantity and system ruined public treasuries and enriched manufacturers of arms. At Krupp's the manufacture of big guns soon surpassed in importance all other pro- duction. After Germany, which since the war with France had. carried through a complete renewal of her field artillery and an increased con- struction of warships and coast de- fense works, it was to Russit that the works were most indebted for their early orders. The works re- ceived a further great impetus in 1890, when, to me'et the wishes of the German Admiralty, the armorplate shops were started. The armorplate_ rolling department soon became one of the largest and, after the inven- tion in 1893 of the "Itrupp armored plate," made of nickel -steel of special composition, also the leading undertaking of its kind. Notwithstanding its extent and careful organization. the Krupp estab- lishment could not cope with the un- expectedly high demand for war ma- terial which set in with the outbreak of the war. Existing shops and equipment were hurriedly adapted to the manufacture of such material, while new constructions were added to the extent of about 7Q per cent. of the surface built on (something like 500 acres) before the war. The me- ! tive power rose in the same space of j time from 75,000 horse, power to a- ( bout double, while the (dumber iof those whom Krupp employed rose from 81,000 on August 1st, 1914, to 169,000 on Jtily 1, 1918. A truer pic- ture of the development can be ob- ; tained by considering. only the work- ers engaged in the manufacture of actual war material. In the works at Essen they numbered the first of August, 1914, 12,000 out of a total of 34,000, whereas, on the first of July, • 1918, the respective figures Vsere 59,- 500 (of Whom 18,750 were women) and' 97,400. All this growth was suddenly cut short by the provisions of the arm - One (San have no hesitation in affirming, after a visit at Krupp's, that everything connected with war industry has been scrapped away. I had an assurance from one of the directors that no war material of any kind was now being manufactured In the works of the firm, a fact which was confirmed, to me without hesita- tion) by various trade union officials and labor leaders, Socialists and others, to whom I had occasion to speak 'at Essen. Old war material' is but little to be seen, and that eitlar cut, or about to be cut, to pieces by the same machines an'd the same , hands which once made them. Peace is taking its revenge at Krupp's.
