WHAT A NIGHT!
By LINCOLN ROTHBLUM.
"DONrS" IN USE OF MACHINE PUT HYPNOTISM TO GOOD USr
It was the coldest niglit Boston had
had In many years. Two days' snow
fall, accompanied by a freuk blizzard
sweeping down from Newfoundland,
had buried the entire city in a heavy
blanket of white. It was hut nine
o'clock this Saturday night, and the
elements, unrestrained, played at will
in the empty streets,
, Doris, wrapped up in a bathrobe of
carmen-colored corduroy, pushed the
hassock Closer tn the flro nnrl cmioirUn
in the comfortable warmth of the burn
ing logs.
"Just a year ago tonight," she mur
mured dreamily, "but It was not so
cold."
"Come, sis," remonstrated a comely
lad of sixteen, who squatted Indian
fashion, close by her, "you mustn't al
ways figure how long It Is since thut
day. I'm big enough to know what
men do, and I'll bet my new rifle Stan
ley Chalmew ain't no coward. What'U
you bet?"
The boy extended his cramped legs,
and cocking them up before him.
clasped his hands about his knees. He
knew he would again hear the entire
account of why his sister broke her
engagement with Stanley Chalmers,
and he wanted to be comfortable dur
ing the recital.
"It was not so cold as It is tonight,"
Doris began, as if reciting a well
i learned lesson, "when we turned the
corner of Dorchester and Siixtcin
streets. He had Just been telling me
he would protect me from all 111. when
a horrible-looking fellow bumped into
me and swore out a terrible oath. I
surely expected Stanley would knock
hlin down, but all he did was grab my
arm and hustle me off."
"When we got home," she continued,
pulling the bathrobe closer about her,
"you were In the hull and beard me
tell him I could never marry a cow
ard." "Aw, I guess I'll get some more
wood," liob answered practically, and
in an effort to change the subject, "the
fire's dying down."
In a few moments Bob returned from
the kitchen, his arms laden with rough
ly chopped pine boughs. As he crossed
the threshold between the two rooms
and stopped to ndjust his burden, from
the upper regions of the house n terrif
ic crash reverberated. The wood
dropped from bis arms and he dashed
across the room swiftly to his sister.
"What is It?" his lips formed the
words his voice refused to utter.
"We must see who It is." she whis
pered, thoroughly frightened, and
grasped the rod used to stir up the
embers.
They must get help. With a dash
through the short hall, they threw open
the porch door. Doris' shrill call was
lost In the shrieks of the wind.
What went there? Was that a man,
bucking the gale? Was that figure
enveloped In a great coat n real man
sent by Providence to help them In
their predicament? Would he pass
their house? Did he not henr them?
"Help! Help!" they called out In
unison, "we're being robbed ! There's
a murderer upstairs! Help!"
The man did hear. He was turning.
He was coming towards them. As he
vaulted the low stoop. Bob pointed.
"I'pstalrs."
He cleared the first three steps with
a single bound, ignoring tin1 poker
Doris mutely held out. "Better that
than nothing," Mie subconsciously
thought, and followed tip in his wake.
Into one bedroom and then the other
he cast the glare of Ids pocket flash
light, t'nder the beds anil In the clos
ets, no corner escaped his rigid In
spection. And then Into the bathroom.
The diHir stubbornly refused to open.
Someone was holding It. They n
, tered the bathroom nnd th door
1 lunged tlglit as th flashlight went out,
' Alone In a dark bathroom with a
strange- man and burglar!
What a night!
Doris screamed.
The man located the electric switch
and light filled the room. A slight sflr
against the opposite wall brought them
about face on the defensive. And they

Don't forget to oil the sewing ma
chine frequently. The treadle and pit
man should be oiled In their bearings
almost as often as the working parts
above the table. j
Don't allow the machine to stand
uncovered when not In use, as It col
lects dust and lint. The working
parts below the cloth plate should be.
dusted and lint removed frequently
with a small camel's hair brush. The!
parts above the cloth plate should be
wiped ften with cheeseclth.
Don't run the machine when the
presser foot is down and there Is no
material in the machine, as this
roughens the underside of the foot
and blunts the feed.
Don't run the machine while It is
threaded without a piece of material
under the foot, as this causes the
thread to knot around the bobbin and
makes a big, ugly, bunch of thread
on the underside of the work when
stitching Is begun. There is often
a tendency on the part of the opera
tor to stitch several inches after the
end of the seam has been reached.
This is a bad practice.
Don't pull the material while it Is
being stitched, as this causes a
stretched, tight, ugly stitch and very
often blunts or breaks the needle.
The feed will take care of this un
assisted and will push the material
through as fust as the machine can
take care of it.

Australian Physician Announces Tn.
He Has Cured War Stammerina
by Its Employment.
Writing in the Medical Journal of
Australia, Dr. Clarence G. Godfrey
states that during the past two years
a nmnber of cases have been referred
to him for treatment by hypnotic sug
gestion, In which stammering or stut
tering had developed, or had been
revived, after years of disappearance,
as the result of shell shock or
of various war stresses. Sometimes
a hpynotized patient has been told to
keep on repeating some well-known
nursery rhyme and not to cease at the
signal to awake, although In the mid
dle of the rhyme, but to keep on talk
ing. He will usually manifest his
astonishment at finding himself talk
ing without difficulty. Sometimes a
patient will converse on waking with
out realizing that his stammering bai
disappeared until his attention Is
drawn to It with amusing effect. In
one case the patient spoke perfectly
In sleep at the first attempt to hyp
notize him, although he had had a
very bad stutter for eight months past,
being almost Inarticulate. He woke
in a few minutes apparently cured
and has been free from stutter ever
since.
It has been noticed that every case
treated, even the worst, hns been able
to speak far better In the hypnotic
state than out of It.
Large Offer for Map Haig Used.
Offers up to $1,750 have been re
ceived for the map used by Sir Doug
las Haig in the direction of the Brit
ish armies on the western front Octo
ber 8 and three following days, and
sent to the lord provost of Glasgow's
secretary for disposal in aid of the
king's fund for disabled officers and
men. The map eventually will be put
up at auction.

Little-Known Hero.
Of the many stories of heroism dur
ing the war on which official records
are silent hut which are being brought
forth with relaxation of the censor
slifp is that of Captain Lnrcombe of
the antiaircraft defenses of the Lon
don (Eng.) district. Ills Job for four
years has been to find and dispose of
German aerial bombs thut failed to
explode when dropped on London.
After each air raid, and in the early
part of the war there were many, Lar
combe and his men would go about the
city seeking the "duds." It was dan
gerous work extricating them from
wherever they happened to drop, trans
porting them out of the city and ex
ploding or otherwise destroying them.
During the excitement after a raid few
people thought of the bombs that
failed to "go off," but all of thera have
ceased to be a menace to the city.
'War Souvenirs.
Even "kultur" has Its limitations.
One of these Is brought out In a let
ter from Private Ralph G. Kilbon of
the Sixteenth engineers. He says:
"I am In a dugout that was very has
tily abandoned by a 'kultured' Boche.
He was 'kultured' enough to have a
nice feather tick In his bunk, which I
appreciate In spite of the fact that
even his 'kultur' didn't keep it from
being alive. However, he left me his
helmet for a box and plenty of can
dles to light up the place. There is
everything in the line of souvenirs
that one could osk, but everything I
have goes on my back, with an over
coat, blankets, raincoat, shelter tent
and extra clothes, so the souvenirs will
stay Just about where they are. un
less somebody comes along with a
truck."
