IT’S FUN TO GET CURED. Having a Good Time Part of a New Method of Treatment. Marguerite Mooers Marshall. ‘Ten scare on ten little shins are the only signs that recall the straighten- ing of five warped little backbones, and the completion of a series of opera- tions that has astounded visitors at Sea Breese Hospital, Coney Island. ‘There does not seem to be much re lation between a shin bone and a backbone—not any valid reason that @ shin bone should play an important part in whisking away the traces of a hunched back, Yet if he hadn't been able to slice off bits of the shinbones and splice them in to strengthen the weak backbones, Dr. Fred H. Albee never would have been able to perform the marvel'ous operations, and the five tiny hunchdacks of last month would be hunchbacks still. When 1912 had advanced so far that the sun was nearing the East Side, nurses from Sea Breese Hospital snatched the crippled bables—two girls and three boys, from five to eight in age—from the scorched streets and carried them off to Coney, It was a wonderful transformation. In the new home there were no stronger children who jibed at the twisted backs and made life even more minerable, It was in a different way, too, that the big doctor ran his hands tenderly over the unstable backbones, le never said anything about “doing it for 1uok,” as others had, In the latter part of June Dr. Albee was ready to perform his first opera tion, He wae satisfied that a splinter of | bone, which could grow into and be come part and parcel of the backbone would be a much greater and surer support than a metal strip, such as previously had been used. And where would a bit of bone be missed less than from the shin, where it ts always get- ting In the way of awkward persons’ feet anyhow? SURGEONS MARVE@LLING WONDERFUL OPERATION. ‘The operation did not take long, nor was the period of convalescen: used to be—a year or a0, Just six weeks after the knife had made that inter- change between the seeming! unre dated shin and backbones, the firat little patient was up and anound, and the second was thinking of the narrowing interval until he, too, should be able} to walk as erectly as any product of the setUement house gymnasium. Surgeons all over the country—all over aT th world, in fact—have been tre- mendously interested in Dr, Albee's op- erations, They marvel that it was only & comparatively short time since the andard treatment for tuberculosis of the spine, which {# the disease that causes hunchbacks, was a plaster of Paris jacket or a Jacket of wire and leather Salt sea baths and salt sea air were the medicings that completed the eur and now the five are ready to go back to the east side, better able to face the THE EVENING WORLD Many Little Tots Enjoy the Fresh Air at Sea Breeze Home for Crippled Children; Marvellous Cures by responded to the I her first steps to-day.

Cummings was arraigned and the case | postponed until Tuesday morning at 9 o ck. The story of the young woman 1s that she was going up in the elevator to seek a position as 4 cloak model. She says the negro stopped the ele vator between the sixth and seven! floors and grabbd her silver mesh b: and took twenty dollars from it. He then, she say: xrabbed a gold chain which hung around her neck and from which was suspended a diamond locket valued at $60. girl strug- wled with the negro and Jabbed at him with a hatpin, The elevator was shot up to the ninth floor, where Morris Simons, who occupies a loft there, n= tered the lift. He was th operator's champion from the start and expressed disbelief in the girl's story. He said she assaulted the negro in his presence, and when Simons attempted to remonstrate with her she kicked him. The young woman's screams attracted numerous tenants of the building to different landings and a crowd had col- lected when ground floor was hed, Cummings fled and was found later in a freight elevator. According to Policeman Cavanagh Miss Harvey neck was red from the wrenching of the chain, her waist was torn at the throat she the the and her right arm was cut near th wrist. A boy picked up her chain in three pleces, to one of wi was at- tached the lo In court to-day Simons told ybody he knew all about the case and that it was a frameup, Finally, he got in- side the rail and addressing the court, wald: ‘Just one minute, Judge!
