SOMETHING ABOUT
FRACTURED BACKS
AND SPINE INJURIES
A broken back or neck does not ne-
cessarily result in sudden death or
paralysis.
There were about eight thousand
persons whose spines were fractured
in automobile accidents in this coun-
try in 1937.
Of that number, about 1,150 died.
Great care should be taken in hand-
ling injured persons immediately fol-
lowing traffic accidents.
On many occasions fractures of the
spine are recognized at once.
Such an injured person may say that
he has a “kink” in his back and that
the disability is of little importance,
Even though the injury may appear
insignificant, a backache after an auto-
mobile accident should suggest prompt
medical advice.
Contrary to popular opinion, there
is frequently no deformity involved in
spinal fracture.
Actually there are many types of
fractures of the spine without disloca-
tion or pressure on the spinal cord.
Many fractured spines are not ac-
companied by paralysis and with ade-
quate treatment the patients may be
expected to recover and return to their
former occupations.
But compression fractures constitute

LIQUID FUEL TAX PAY.
MENTS IN CAMBRIA
Warren R. Roberts, state auditor gen-
payment of $3,293,880.51, representing
Liquid Fuels Tax moneys payable to
sixty-four of the sixty-seven counties
of the Commonwealth for the six mon-
ths period ended May 31, 1939.
Under the Liquid Fuels Tax Act of
1931, automobile users pay a state tax
of 4 cents on each gallon of gasoline
purchased. Of this tax the state re-
turns %c per gallon to each county on
June 1 and December 1 of each year,
at the ratio that the average return
made during the three preceding
years to eacn county bears to the av-
erage amount returned to all counties
for the three preceding years. Two
and one-half cents per gallon of the 4c
tax is available for state road functions
and one cent for general state purpos-
es.
The money allocated to the counties |
can be used only for the purpose of
“construction, reconstruction, main-
tenance and repair of roads, highways
and bridges, including the payment of
property damage, and for the payment
of interest on bonds issued for high-
ways and bridge purposes.”
The amount approved for payment |
to the Commissioners of Cambria coun- |
ty is $54,761.91, and represente 1.610 |
per cent of the total collected through- |
out the commonwealth during the past |
six months.

PREVENT COCCIDIOSIS. |
This dread disease, so common to
chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, and
guinea fowls, is a serious economic
problem to the poultryman as it ex-
acts a heavy toll from his flocks, at
times as high as 90 to 100 per cent mor-
tality.
It is particularly prevalent during
the warm, damp days of spring and
early summer. It is then that especial
care should be given to control the
disease as the conditions for its spread
are most favorable at this time.
In the past, attempts have been made
to control, cure, and prevent the dis-
ease by various measures and all kinds
of remedies and quack nostrums have
been offered the poultryman. The Ex-| Republican leaders expect that Jud-
tension Service of the Texas A. & M.
be prevented through the feeding of 5
per cent commercial flour sulphur.
They recommend that 5 per cent of
the commercial flour sulphur be in-
cluded in the mash from the time the
chicks are two weeks old until they are
placed in the laying house at five to
six months of age. However, it is im-
perative that. this sulphur feeding
should not begin until after the chicks
are two weeks old. Also, sulphur

TG JUDGE KELLER'
Harrisburg.—Democratic leaders on
Thursday last pledged their support to
reelect a Republican Superior Court
jurist—an action considered without
recent political precedent in Pennsyl-
vania.
Overstepping party lines, the Dem-
ocratic State Committee indorsed Jud-
ge Wm. H. Keller, Lancaster Repub-
lican, for a third term, to one of the
state wide judicial posts at stake in the
fall election.
As Democratic candidates for the
other two vacancies on the superior
court, the committee named U. S. Rep-
resentative J. Harold Flannery of Lu-
zerne county and Former State Sena-
tor Edward Jackson Thompson of Cen-
tre County.
Dean Herbert F. Goodrich of the Un-
iversity of Pennsylvania Law School,
was indorsed for the supreme court
seat of Justice John W. Kephart of this
county. He is ineligible for reelection.
Goodrich came into prominence dur-
ing the administration of Former Gov-
ernor George H. Earle as chairman of
a committee which drafted legislation
creating the present Department of
Public Assistance and placing its per-
sonnel under civil service.
Kephart has backed Judge Marion

REGISTRATION OF THE
ALIENS IS NEW TASK
OF STATE BUREAU
Harrisburg.—The Department of La-
bor and Industry started to set up an
ailien registration bureau the other day
shortly after Governor James signed
a bill requiring aliens to register be-
fore the end of the year.
Secretary Lewis T. Hines said he
would appoint a director and office
staff to function at Harrisbrug head-
quarters in carrying out the large task
of keeping a check on aliens over 13
in Pennsylvania.
“The bureau will work within our
Bureau of Inspection and together wita
the seven district headquarters. We
will arrange to designate places, such
as court houses throughout the state,
for registration,” Hines said.
Exempt from the law, effective next
Januray are:
1—Parents of persons who served
this Nation in war time.
2—Aliens living in Pennsylvania
continuously since December 31, 1908,
without being convicted of a crime.
3—Aliens who have applied for cit-
izenship.
The bill was passed after a bitter
legislative fight. Democrats opposed
the measure, contending it would be
used for political purposes and that it
is unconstitutional because alien regis-
tration is a federal issue. Proponents
said there are “too many aliens” and
referred during debate to “subversive
influences.”
Under terms of the law ,after Janu-
ary 1 aliens must carry cards at all
times proving their registration and
produce them upon demand from peace
offices or qualified representatives of
the department of Labor and Industry.
Convicted violators of this rule are
subject to a maximum fine of $10 or
10 days in jail.
of the law and fail to register are sub-
ject to a $100 fine, 80 days in jail, or
both.
The registration cards must be ex-
hibited in applications of ailiens
licenses.

Another provision forbids employ-
ment of unregistered aliens. Employ-
ers who hire violators are subject to
a $100 fine or 60 days in jail.
Hines said aliens would be advised
“in good time” concerning the regis-
i tration sites ahd asked “full coopera=
tion.”
