2 FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1918 PECULIARITY OF LOST HAND That H. Should Be Able’ to Feel It Alternately Open and Close Puz- zles Soldier. A British soldier writes: Most peo- ple, I think, know that when & person’ has Tost a limb, that person still re- talns the “sense,” or feeling, of the. missing 1imb. _As a case in point, 1 might. mention that a friend. of mine, who had lost. a leg in the war, in an - unthinking moment took & step on the missing leg and.came to grief. I.my- gelf had the misfortune to lose my left: hand on the Messines ridge last June, _.and all the pain I have suffered from the wound has been in' the hand which 1 no longer possess. Now, the peculiar ‘part of 1t'all is that on alternate days t.hb fingers of the missing hand open and ‘close; that is to say, yesterday "~ they were'closed ; today they are open. Tomorrow they- will be closed “again. Can this be ‘explained? ' This change takes place during sleep, and once or twice, on restless nights, I have actu- ally felt the change taking place. I was lefthanded, and during the attack I carried my revolver in the missing X hand: When 'the fingers are closed b % ~ .they are exactly in the same position as if they were still grasping the re- volver. - That I. can understand, but exactly twenty-four hours later. Also, T ‘'was wounded somewhere about 4 o'clock in the morning, and was oper- ated on about the same time the fol- lowing morning, .and. the: opening and closing of the fingers takes place about this time, WHERE SOLDIERS ARE BETTER Army Officer Explain the Benefits of Development of Physiological .

It is doubtful whether any of the state’s industrial enterprises ever made a record for themselves such as the Pan Motor Company has in the few months that have elapsed since its establishment at St. The Pan had only come to Saint Cloud in March, 1917, with a handful of stock- holders, two or three employes—and a plan!

Very properly, we should feel about our service flag in this way. An 12x12-inch service flag may be made from one and a third yards of four-inch wide red ribbon, ten inches of white r ribbon and enough blue to form the £ stars to which you are entitled. Cut '§ ‘the red ribbon into four pieces, two of 18 inches length and-the other two so that they finish off four and a half lnches, allowing for seams. Sew these strlps together, inserting the white plece for the fleld. Then applique a blue star, or embroider it, according to desire. The white field will be varied in size in accordance with the num- ber of stars used. e - "X (Signature of Subscriber) —_——— St e ittt o e ey (le) why should they open on alternate days? ‘The only explanation I can of- | , fer is that what remains of the hand 8/ after I was wounded- was- amputated ‘r | 1 e > SRS | | | | B
