Los Angeles, Cal, July 3.-Mis>.
Maude Warrington. 134S Figueroa

joint.
She disarticulated the lumbar verte-
brae by the violence of her sneeze, and
heard the joints pop out of position.
1t was just a simple. everyday sort
of sneeze that did the damage, a sneeze
that should nave been mildly enjoy
able. but it has kept Miss Warnings
ton in a state of excessive pain for
three days, n has made her very
much afraid of INDUCING again in what
has proved such an expensive luxury.
AS the Utilization of the sneeze
reached it's emphatic decree, Miss
Warrington was %convulsed for a mo-
ment by the effort. and as she ker-ker-
ker-achewed, she heard a sharp snap
about her person, and the next instant
was overwhelmed with pain and real
lied that something serious had hap
pened to her spinal column.
She became Frustrated at once and
could hardly summon help. Aid was
sent for to the California hospital, and
a physician. after a hasty examination,
saw the trouble. n by a painful but
not serious process replaced the re.

nice horse that couldn't rum, n sold
the nice horse for sufficient to buy a
gasoline motor, willie westinghouse
Myers the boy inventor of West Ber-
wick, has built a motor cycle.
This Willie bears a strong resemb-
lance to Willie Westinghouse Edison

Willie built the automobile along ORR
ginal lines. and after several hairbreaith
escapes and runaways, not to mention
damages to sundry trees and flowers
and to Willie's own precious skin, he
decided he ought to have a motorcycle
for a better safety. .
So he snapped the auto for a horse
and sold the horse to get the neces-
AIRY funds. He gave the cycle a sue
cessful test yesterday.
Willie raised the money to build the
auto by swapping rags and bones for
marbles, the marbles for pocketknives,
the knives for a goat, the goat for a
pony n selling the pony.

When they parted Fischer found him

Miss Shapiro charges that for three

TO marry him. She promised to do SO.
and the engagement was publicly an
nounced. Items telling of their be-
trothal were published in New York;

Fischer put the date off from time to

Chicago, July 1.-George AIDE at a
recent banquet. said the comic opera
has depopulated the laundries.' and
his has given rise to speculation as
to whether the show girl who should
be in a laundry, but isn't, is to blame
for the new situation.
That a general increase in the prices
charged by Chicago laundries is a prob
ability this summer is admitted by p.
F. Munger, president of the Munger
Laundry company and a member of the
Chicago Laundrymen's association.
Coupled with a similar expression of
opinion at a trump" meeting of the Chi
cago Laundrymen's club at the Briggs
house, this announcement hat it is go
ing to cost more for the polishing of the
Sunday shot is dispiriting to those
of slender purse who know that it
takes q lot of clean linen to last
through a two weeks vacation at a
summer resort.
The laundrymen who met at the
Briggs house said hat the prices will
be tilted If the National Laundrymen,s
association "a be induced to agree to
the proposition.
They say that the cost Of soap has
advanced % per cent. and that help is
