SHE SWALLOWED THE HATPIN
Cora Roher, Fourteen ear-0ld Colo
RADIO Girl, Says She is Glad to
Know Where il is.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. q. With
the utmost n0nehalance Miss Cora
Roher remarked at ST. Anthony's Hos
pital that she was ''glad to know
where her hatpin was"
One OF the most remarkable cases
recorded In medical annals is that OF
the cool-headed girl Of Il years whose
home is ON a ranch four miles from
Del NOrte, Colo. Last Wednesday
she put a hatpin between her lips, as
a million women do every day, and
proceeded to fasten another pin in her
hat. By a sort Of spasmodic gulp,
probably enforced by the position Of
the pin in her mouth, she swallowed
it.
The excitement in the Roher family
and the whole neighborhood was
great, but Miss Roher remained as
cool as to-day's breeze. She assisted
In the preparation for the trip to Dem
yer and vas a willing patient before
the X-ray. DR.. Sherman Brown To-
Gated the hatpin, partially punctur-
ing the left lung, but later lost track
Df 1t.
"I'm glad to know where it is" re
marked Miss ROher, and she is now
eoolly awaiting the decision OF the
surgeons as to how they can best ex-
tract the six inches of steel.

II used TO puzzle ali thinking peo-
pie why ponds and rivers do not
freeze beyond a certain depth. This
depends on a most curious fact, name
ly, that water is at its heaviest when
it reaches 40 degrees Fair, that is s
degrees above freezing point. On a
frosty night Is each top layer OF
water falls TO 40 degrees 1t sinks to
the bottom, therefore the whole pond
has to drop to 10 degrees before any Of
it can freeze. At last, 1t is all cooled
and then ice begins TO form. Bat ice
is a very bad conductor Of heat.
Therefore, it shuts off the freezing air
from the big body of comparatively
warm water underneath. The thick
er it gets the more perfectly does it
act as a great coat, and that is why
even the Arctic cean never freezes
beyond a few feet in thickness.

piled to the Secretary OF State for a
charter. II the company can succeed

cars from Kansas City to st. Louis in
time for the Worlds Fair. The pro-
moters believe they al make the run

The charter asked for is to permit
the building Of a road from Glasgow,
where the Alton crosses the Missouri
river, through Fayette, Columbia,
Fulton, New Florence and Troy to st.
Quive Junction, 20 miles from st.
Louis. A branch is also to run from
Glasgow north to Brookfield, and from
Brookfeld to Quive Junction. As

to get the right-of-way and begin
work. Our line is TO run through the
rich river valley, the best part Of Mis-
souri,, and there are coal mines in
nearly every county we propose to run
through. We will acquire mine lands
and put up a power house alongside OF
a mine shaft, 50 fuel won't ever worry
US. The plan is to build from Brook
field to where we can connect with the

make the Kansas City extension after
we make our bridge arrangements.
Already we have thoroughly gone over

the route where a grade as heavy as ]
