' (Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.) ' New Tork, Aug. Jl. Swept from her path by a brisk night wind; Miss Carrie Meyers. a professional balloonist. dropped near Wlnsted, Connecticut Into a swampy forest infested with wildcats, and until early this morning was in iin,t,nt nAHl at her Ufa. Miss Meyers has for several weeks been making two ascensions a day for the crowds at Highland Lake parK, which borders on one of the biggest lakes in Connecticut, and Friday even ing when her balloon went up It was fllmnxt nifr.h dark. No moon shone to guide her, but the wind caught up the light air craft and carried It rapidly away. Ordljhanlly Miss Meyers has managed to make her descent with the aid of a parachute within half a mile or the "arte, and wnen she cut loose she assumed she was no farther away. As she neared the ground, however, she could discern the top of the forest below her, and she then realized that she was lost. She landed up to her waist In water and began a search that lasted for hours for a path to escape. Searching parties were sent out In every Direction, but none could find her. Three men who were out armed for a wildcat hunt ran across her by accident and took her to a farmhouse, where she waa put to bed. LUMBER TRUST TO BE GRILLED NEXT .

RIGHT HAND OR BOTH Four-Fifths of the Babies Said to Be Ambidextrous. Many reasons have been advanced for the prevalence of right-handedness. It is by some said to be the result of nurs ing and Infantile treatment, to be due to early practice In writing and draw ing, to be the outcome of warfare, edu cation and heredity, the result of me chanical law and other remote causes, according to the Strand. Sir James Sawyer declares that the preferential use of the right hand la due to the fact that in primitive days man used the right hand for the purposes of offense, so as to keep the heart the vital spot as far as possible from the assault of an adversary. Recent experiments and observations, however, prove that single-handedness Is merely the result of faulty or restricted education. It Is a curious Instance of human con trariness that should one eye, one ear or one leg of a child show signs of di minished vigor, the parents would in stantly seek the cause of and If pos sible the remedy for that lamentable condition; yet for some inexplicable rea son or prejudice the left hand of the av erage child is ruthlessly and deliberate ly neglected, until in mature years it is an undeveloped, useless and almost un necessary appendage. Careful observations have shown that out of every 100 persons born into this worm u are congenitany amoiaexirous; that Is to say. they will instinctively reach for an object with either hand, and only reruire proper instruction and training to develop both hands id arms to an equal degree of strength andjikill. Of the remaining 20. 17 will be right' handed, while the other three will show a natural bias toward the left hand. The cultivation of ambidexterity there fore offers no insuperable difficulties, and the economical physiological' and psychological advantages are enormous. It is said that the Japanese soldiers can use their weapons with equal skill In either hand, for they were trained to ne amoidextrous from childhood. At school they are taught to write and draw with both hands. In drawing and painting no supporting device whatever Is used, the entire arm being employed. The German educational authorities, too. are at present givlna- considerable attention to left-hand work. . especially in their technical and mechanical Schoola. The students are taught to saw. Plane and hammer as well with the left hand as with toe right and the economical and industrial importance Of ambidexterity Is firmly Impressed upon the . minds of . young men - and to pay the same and mall it to us and we will call and complete your connec tion with te company. company.
