BODY OF BABE TURNS INTO STONE
Infant Commenced to Sohdyy Two Weeks
 Ajfer Hs Birth

NEW YORK, December l2.-One of the most remarkable medical cases on record, in which the limbs of baby six weeks old have turned to stone, was reported at the meeting of the Hudson County Medical society in Jer- sey City by Dr. Karl H. Goldstone, who has charge of the children s clinic at Mount Sinai Hispital in this city.
 The child so appallingly afflicted is Benjamin Gordon, whose parents live at BIO East Tooth street. Dr. Goldstone reported to his colleagues that the child s limbs had now become almost entirely as hard as stone, after gradu- ally solidifying since its birth.
 The disease which is bringing about this is known to science as selerema neonatorum, a very rare ailment. The child has been removed to the child rens clinic at Mount Sinai Hospital, where it is under close observation by physicians
 The reading of the report created a stir among the medical men, as there are only eight known similar cases, ac eording to Dr. Goldstone, on record Methods of treatment similar to those recently adopted in German hospitals are being tried on the baby here and although many physicians at first held out on hope for the baby's recovery, Dr. Goldstone now reports that bene icial results of the treatment are al ready apparent, So much so that its ultimate cure and recovery seem al most assured. {
 According to Dr. Goldstone, four days after the baby's birth the mother no ticed an unnatural hardness in the ba- by's feet and hands, which gradually spread upward in the legs and arms until, two weeks after its birth, the limbs up to the knees and elbows were amazingly hard and cold. Otherwise the infant has been in apparently good health, giving very little trouble and having no apparent trouble in digest ing its food.
 The hardness kept spreading until a few days ago, when it was removed to Mount Sinai Hospital the arms and legs right up to the trunk of the body were hard as rock and stone cold. Moreover, Dr. Goldstone reports that its little face was also hardening as though ainty mask were being drawn slowly down over its forehead.
 The cheeks were already beginning to stiffen up when the treatment was commenced The child is the subject of constant study by the physicians at the hospital

More than one girl is denying herself
the possession OF Marie Antoinette
frills on her shirt waists, collars and
cuffs because Of the exigencies Of IRON
ing them. A skilled laundress can turn
them out as frilly as in their first es-
tate, but the average home washer
and irOner makes a poor job Of 1t, be-
sides the cluttering Of her time with
the extra work. A trim girl at a smart
neckwear counter divulged the secret
Of her own prettily crimped collar ruff

She washed and ironed it herself.
first the rufle, then the collar. Then
she took a small curling tongs and
fiuted the ruf1e with 1t. The tongs is
the smallest size to be had The large
ones are Of no use OF Of their legiti-
mate Office. Rufied shirt waist plaits
can be treated in the same manner.
When they are knife plated the best
way is to baste the little plaits in place
with two rows of stitches before the
piece is washed. Then iron them first
on the wrong side to press them into
shape. When this Is done draw out
the hastings and iron on the right side.
After all this the edge win need pick

SEALED BONNET
RUN FOR AUTOS
Plans Being Made for Inter-
eSting Contest to Valley
Forge on June Il

Attracted by the success Of the re-
cent 'roadability run" motorists Of
Wilmington are evincing much interest
in the sealed bonnet contest" TO take
place under the auspices of the Della
ware Automobile Association on Sat-
urday, June o. This contest, as ITS
name implies, will be a test of the
machines themselves and the mechani-
cal ability of the drivers rather than,
as the recent run, a test of the roads
The proposed run derives its name
from sealing tight the bonnet or COW
ering Of the engines of each machine,
so that they cannot be repaired should
breaks occur or be adjusted during
the race. Thus, should the engine OF
a car become erratic or cease opera
tion, the despairing motorist would
have no other resource than to drop
out of the race
The run will be TO Valley Forge. and
will include some of the best roads in
Delaware and Pennsylvania. The route
has not yet been arranged definitely.
The machines will start from the Court
House on Saturday morning, June 81
at $50 o'clock. There will be five
checking stations. Unlike, the recent
run, a running time will be given out.
Three silver cups will be the prizes
The machines will be classed ac-
cording to their value. and IL is ex-
pected that some of the most expen-
sive cars in the State will contest. The
entries will be closed June 23. The
entrance fee for mem bers Of the Della
ware Automobile Association will be
SO. for non-members IS. Post entries
will be 81 extra. Entries should be
filed with Charles G. Guyer. No. s26
Market street AS the run will be
through part Of Pennsylvania, motor
lists will be obliged to carry Pennsyl-
vania license tags.
It is expected that the details of the
route will be completed by the first OF
next week Should there be rain on
the day set for the run, it will be post
poned for one week.
The committee in charge OF the run
comprises John B. Bird, chairman, Ed
win Bringhurst 5th, William Staniar
and ]. ID. Bush.
