LOCKJAW FOLLOWS
THE STING OF A BEE
TROUBLE DIAGNOSED AS A CASE
OF DIPHTHERIA
Doctors in Philadelphia Hospital Are
Puzzled by the Death of
Four-Year=Old
Boy

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.-Lockjaw re-
sulting from the sting of bee has ended
the life of Ralph Foy years old, in the
Municipal hospital The child had been
under treatment for diphtheria He was
son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fl. Foy,
who live in Kerper street, Lawndale.
Ralph ran to his mother about week
ago crying and said a bee had "bit" him
on the back of the neck. Mrs. Foy applied
liniment and thought no more about 1t
Ralph's neck was very stiff the next
morning, and a physician advised that the
boy be taken to the Frankford hospital.
There the lad was said to be suffering
from diphtheria and he was sent to the
Municipal hospital,
Diphtheria remedies had no beneficial
effect in his case, and last Friday little
Ralph went into commissions and his jaws
became locked. The commissions continued
until death came.
1t is said to be a most extraordinary
case and the doctors are loath to believe
the sting of bee could actually produce
tetanus. They say Ralph must have rub"
bed dirt into the wound, but this explana-
ton does not satisfy them, for bee sting
does not make an open wound such as IS
supposed necessary for the culture of te-
tanus germs.

SANTA MONICA, Aug. 12.-Tossed,
gored and trampled by an angry bull,
Thomas McKnee last night escaped death
only through the fearlessness of Ivy
Bray, who, armed with but club, drove
the frenzied animal from it's victim.
McKnee, though warned that the beast
was in a dangerous mood, insisted upon
entering the corral in which it was con-
fined. AS he advanced in the enclosure
the bull, snorting and with lowered head,
dashed at him.
Mckee, realizing too late his danger,
turned, but before he had gone a dozen
PAGES the animal overlook him and tossed
him yards. Almost before he struck the
ground it was upon him again, boring
with it's horns and stamping the pros
trate man.
Again and again was McKnee tossed.
Bray, who is the son of the animals
owner, H. c. Bray, ran to his aid, pick
ing up as he went a stick.
AS he approached, the bull turned its
attention to him, charging. Bray eluded
the attack, and as he wheeled, belabored
the animal. Surprised, the beast paused
for a moment, preparing to return to the
fight.
In the meantime McKnee, half con-
scious and bleeding had crawled from the
danger zone. Bray again stepped to one
side as the bull rushed past within a few
inches of him. and then ran from the
corral. q
McKnee's injuries are not serious, al
though painful.

THE "PEEKABo0" IS
NOT FOR CHURCH
SHORT SLEEVES ALSO UNDER
THE BAN
Roman Catholic Clergy Takes Stand
Against What Is Termed Im-
modesty in Dress of FASH
ionable Women

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 1.-THE edict re-
Gently issued by the archbishop Of To-
ronto placing a ban on the ''peekaboo
waist and short sleeves of the women
parishioners of the Roman Catholic
church has been received and will be ad-
hered to in the two Kansas Citys.
Henceforth, regardless of the weather,
the woman with barred arms who enters
Roman Catholic house of worship can
expect at least a word of criticism from
the officiating priest. 1t has been de-
creed that short sleeves are entirely out
of place at a sacred service.
Movement May Be General
While the edict issued by the Toronto
archbishop is not mandatory on all OF the
Roman Catholic churches in this country,
his attitude is appreciated by many of
the Catholic clergy and the "boycott
may become general.
Father Anthony Kuhls, pastor of st.
Mary's church, Kansas City, kas., says:
"The short sleeve is proper in its place,
but that place is in the kitchen and at the
washtub at home. The modest housewife
will even roll down the sleeves OF her
waist when within her own home at
knock at the door
"she realizes the immodesty of failure
to do so. 1 cannot conceive how the
same women. possessed with like mod
esty, can enter the church at sacred SER
vice with less care"
Father Kuhls says he has no objection
to the short sleeve provided the arm ana
hand are clothed with a long glove. He
ntimates that hereafter confirmation ana
holy communion will be denied those who
appear in the 'peekaboo' and snort
sleeve.
Approved by Bishop
r nj
Leavenworth was asked as to his opinion
of the edict
He replied that he had not read the let
ter but that his faith in the archbishop
is such that he does not question the
good judgment of the edict. OF woman
attire, it's uses and abuses, he said he was
ignorant.
Is. don't doubt" said the bishop, that
the Roman Catholic women understand
what is properly worn in a church during
divine service. But have never thought
of the subject until it was called UP by
the archbishop's letter. l believe the
suggestion is good one and that it will
stand"
