PULMOTER
SAVES LIFE

The pulmotor owned by the North

eases yesterday. saving the life of a
young Hammond girl who had been
overcome by gas, but failed In its eff
forts TO restore heart action in a
drowned boy at Crown Point.
The first call was received Yesterday
morning at III o'clock. and A. O. Mitch
ell of the Northern Indiana Gas com
pany, rushed the pulmotor to the resi-
dence of Mrs. George Winters, on Mich
isan avenue. where her 1S-year-old
daughter, Cecilia Catherine winters
had been overcome by gas. which was
pouring from a gas cock that was left
open
She was found lying on the kitchen
floor with the doors and windows
closed and when the pulmotor arrived
the girls respiration was weak and
the heart action was very faint. Ap-
plying the pulmotor Mr.. Mitchell and
DR. Groman worked over the girl for
nearly half an hour, she was brought
back to consciousness and was able to

The case is peculiar one, and lust
how the gas jet came to be turned
on no one is able to determine Mrs.
Winters gave the only probable reason
when she stated that before leaving
the house she took a belt which was
hanging over the gas pipe near the
valve and it is thought that the belt
may have caught on the cock, open

in the house when she was overcome
and said that she tainted away and
fell to the kitchen floor. She tried to
call for help. but her vocal organs

WESTERN LIFE WINS LILLIAN,
WHO LOVES TT
BY Gertrude N. Price.

Lillian Virgins is the star of the
western Pathe company at Glendale,
California.
She is a new recruit from the le-.
Ultimate stage, and life out West in
the open is still very much of a
wonderful novelty to her.
Since she went to California, few
months ago, she has learned TO ride
a horse, to sit on a soup box and eat
a sandwich for her midday meal and
to do all sorts of hair-breadth stunts
just for the sake of the pictures.
Miss Virgins is one of the
statuesque type of beauties! No one
would dream that she could do a
good character part or look like a
gypsy. But she can, all right!
Most of the pictures done by the
western Pathe company are the wild
and wooIy sort. So Miss Virgins
soon found out that she would either
have to forget herself and her tailor
made clothes during work hoUrs) or
forego the pleasure of being a
'tmovie" maid.
One trip around the Pathe ranch;
one trial ride on the back of West
ern pony and one days fresh, free
ozone were sufficient to convince her
that she could forget pretty clothes
# she might have a chance to do

her own story of change of fortune
and the silent patient grief of a loyal
soul.
And the wild ringing of the storm

al charge does not prove it, nor does a
