Army Air Force . physiologists believe the artificial limb is bet-| ter than anything produced since the crude beginnings of the “peg leg”. The new appliance is said to be $0 good that the wearer can bal-j ance on the leg at a quarter-knee bend. So flexible is the device that an amputee can move with almost the same freedom and ease of motion as a normal pers: gon, the doctors say. Utilizes Stomach Muscles The limb, produced at the U.S, Air Forces’ Aero Medical Ceriter at Heidelberg under the command of Col. Robert J. Benford, is the! result of research by Dr. Ulrich; Henschke and Hans Mauch, an engineer. It revolutionizes the methods of controlling the move- ment of,knee and ankle joints by utilizing’ the stomach muscles. Although the abdominal mus- cles. are not used greatly in walk- ing, there is a certain sensibility produced by walking motions. Hy-: draulic mechanism in the artificial mb is controlled by a belt, con- taining a small rubber bladder; @nd wrapped around the waist. On walking up and down stairs ; @ slight expansion of the abdomi- | fal muscles causes the piston in} the calf of the prosthetic leg to, slightly. This locks the | ts.in the right position, so that , the leg does not collapse when the knee joint is bent. Ankle Motion Natural “The ankle motion oi the appli- @mee reproduces normal action so} closely that it is hardly notice- able,” the doctors said. ‘The doctors also are working on tying the artificial limb to exist- ig leg muscles—but since \ this means surgery, it probably will be employed only “in extreme “With the hydraulic artificial limb it is believed there will come ® new feeling of freedom'of md- tien instead of the consciousness of unyielding rigidity,” the doc-: tors said. “Persons using. the de- vice can walk up and down stairs and steep inclines with such ease amd grace that a casual observer would never know the. . differ- ence.” Foreign ser i uentiy Intermar New’ YORK (AP) Interstar. flage of native-born and foreign: born, is on the increase in the United States, according to a study by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.

Similarly, the propor- tien of foreign grooms marrying mative girls has increased from one-half to three-quarters, and eross-racial mixing trends are evident.

This fact. somewhat surprised real estate brokers, who at first blush thought investors might want to acquire ruins cheaply, tear ‘them down and rear new structures. J Investors, however, fésboned | differently. First of all they don’t ; know what is to be the position of mortgages on property now ; standing in ruins. Next, there is the question of whether real es- | tate valuations will undergo a change in view of the unprece- dented situation created by mass’ destruction of entire city sec- tions. through bomb and artillery action. Take downtown Berlin, for in- stance. Real estate before the war naturally commanded top prices. But can the center of the city which: “has had it,”-ever be will it, \as "Séme;. city’ planners have it, ‘be! turned into a series of settlement projects? The un« certainty about the. future‘of the city is putting. a carb’ on Specu- lative buying or purchase for in-; vestment. : On the other hand, anybody who has a roof over his house is anxious to hold onto his proper- ty. Hence, although countless | would-be purchasers of homes} are registered with real estate agents, properties are being of- fered for sale only by people } who need cash badly or by their | heirs who have no use for the real estate. Vacant lots, like ruins, are not wanted. One main reason is the dearth of building materials out- side of bricks. Bricks are as plentiful as the sands on the sea. | ‘Go-West?
