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."

WHY ARE SEALS PLACED ON
LETTERS?
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

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. Rub the corn through

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.

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.
