TREE SAVES
aFAMILy FROM
DEATH IN FIRE

Waking to find his home choked
with smoke, and exit by way of
the stairweys blocked by. flame,
H. II. Brown; an attorney, with
offices in the California building,
last night swung his wife and
children into a tree growing
close to the veranda of the house,
and all escaped in safety.
The home was located at 1920
Puget Sound avenue, and the
blocked streets of the district
made the engines late in arriving.
Few or. no valuables were saved
from the Quilted house and the
loss will reach $4,000.

ability of persons while under
hypnotic influences making state
ments and revelations which they
knew in their normal state to be
untrue. This is Mrs. Kvalshaug's
only rebuttal of the alleged confess
sion made to the police, and the
psychologist intimated that her
contention is not groundless.
The question was at once the
subject of much interest among
the members of the medical soci-
ETY., and it was evident that the
somewhat new subject had found
favor with most of them.

There are few men like Charlie
Warmer in Cincinnati. Foes. if

His habits were as regular as

he lunched at the Grand Hotel, op-

Big Four. His repast was modest,
costing 40 or so cents. Others,
with less than his $4,000 a year
salary, paid much more.
After lunch there would be a
game of billiards. Warmer was a
good shot because he had a steady
nerve, was cool and calculating,
and never tried a shot until he
had figured it out.
