Girl With Broken
Neck walks Again
Victim of Factory Fire Two Years
Ago Is Now Able to
be About Again

| More than fifty doctors said / could
never be cured" declared Esther Har-
ris, when she proudly walked for the
| first time last week since little more
than two years when her neck and
back were broken by a fall down the
elevator shaft Of the Triangle shirt
waist factory building in New York
during the fire in which $50 employees
lost their lives.
| Miss Harris, who was cashier of the
shlrtwaist company, became complete
~ paralized from the neck down after
her injuries and her case was given
up as hopeless. She is now in the hos
Epital for deformities and joint diseases
where lately she surprised the other
patients by walking from ward to
ward to greet them.
For months the injured girl wore
plaster collars on her neck with a
twenty-five pound weight pulling on
her head and fifteen-pound weights on
both her feet. She has now regained
not only the use of her legs, but also
her arms and to illustrate her recovery
she wrote on typewriter at the hos
pital.
1t is expected that Miss Harris will
soon be discharged from the hospital.

EBERHART SKATERS CUSTOM

When a legislator gets a pet bill
through he usually asks the Governor
to give him the pen with which it is
signed. This favor is always granted
and statesman and ex-statesman has
among his cherished possessions a
penholder adorned with a neat bow of
baby blue ribbon to remind him of
some great accomplishment in law
making.
1t has remained for Governor Eber-
hart to shatter this custom. Recent
ly House member wanted pen with
which he Governor had signed his bill,
and was given nice pink holder with
the usual decorations. The pen itself
showed proper signs of wear.
Next day the representative walked
in on the Governor while he was sign
ing bills and found him using foun-
tain pen. The executive then had to
admit he always uses the modern writ
ing device and that the pens given out
are not quite as purported. Since then
there has been but little demand for
the pens with which bills are signed,
the legislators perhaps realizing that
the executive could not afford to give
away several fountain pens each ses-
sion.

Writer Of Play Talks
Clever Catherine Cushing, Author of
'WidOw By Proxy" Tells
How it Happened

1t may be true that the comic man

that the tragic genius is certain that
he would be most amusing in farce
While this contraction may exist in
the aspirations and accomplishments
of mere interpreters, the creators seem
to know what they could do best. Cath
crime Chisholm Cushing, who wrote
the amusing farce widow by Proxy"
