TWILIGHT SLEEP" DRUGS

Doctor Gregory Says Three Patients
Became Temporarily Insane.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Three New York
women who submitted themselves to the
twilight Slumber' treatment in child
birth have become temporarily insane
during the last two months, according to
DR.. Minas $. Gregory, in charge of the
psychopathic ward of Bellevue Hospital.
Doctor Gregory said yesterday that of
the three women demented by the "twi-
light treatment two are in the State
Hospital for the Insane and the third wo-
man recovered after a few weeks.
"These women were suffering from
mental disturbances, due directly to the
poisonous effect of the drugs used in the
twilight sleep treatment" said Doctor
Gregory. Their insanity took on the
form of delrum.
Their insanity manifested itself in
from two to five days after the birth of
their children"
Doctor Gregory refused to comment on
the merits or demerits Of the twilight
sleep" treatment.
He stated frankly that he had not read
up on 1t and. indeed. had not been inter-
ested until now.
But remember" said Doctor Gregory,

person very much more severely than
another person in every way, physically

FIRE CAUSES $500

Fire swept the basement of the Mar
berth Y NJ. c. A. this morning damag-
ing the building and contents to the ex-
tent OF $500 before it was extinguished
by the Narberth fire company The
flames were discovered at o'clock and
within ten minutes dozen volunteers
had manned the fire apparatus from the
fire house, which adjoins the Y. NJ. c. A.,
and had a stream playing on the blaze
The fire was fought for ten minutes be-
fore it occurred to any one to ring the
fire alarm and summon other members
OF the company to the scene.
The greatest loss was in the destruc-
ton of two bowling alleys, valued at $500
each, and the partial destruction Of three
pool tables, valued at $500 each The
fire started in the room in which the
allevs and pool tables are located, and
it is believed that 1t was caused by
cigarette dropped by one of the members
of the association using the room last
night.
The frst grade OF the Narberth School
occupies the second floor Of the Y. NJ.
{. A., and II has been necessary to sus-
mend classes pending repairs TO the
building.
The loss is covered by insurance.

ITALIAN SCULPTOR,
CARRYING LIKENESS
OFPENN, AN EXPERT
Ottaviano Mezzei, Working
Huge Granite Block on
Penn Mutual Building,
Tells of Work Intricacies.

The gradual evolution OF block Of
granite into finished likeness Of william
Penn holds a small crowd OF spectators
fascinated every day on the corner of
9Th and Walnut streets. The great stone
block is situated above the entrance of
the new Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company building. being erected at a
cost Of si.5Oo,OOO on either side of the
piece Of sculpture are two massive
columns.
The model for the relief is a plaster
cast which hangs beside the granite slab,
and from this Ottaviano Mezzei the
skilled workman doing the carving, makes
intricate comparisons by means OF very
complicated pointing" Instruments.
Ottaviano. or Thomas" as he Is called
by the other workmen, learned his trade
when but 12 years old in Carrara ltaly.
where he worked with his father ana
grandfather. who are both living today
and employed by sculptors as skilled
pointers" Ottaviano, who is proud oil
his ability. spoke of his task thus:
"Of course, they want to get the best
man in the country to do this, for " any
mistake is made 1t will cost thousands OF
dollars to put n new granite block In mere
and take the old ono out-and much time
would be wasted as well''
He then explained how the pointing IN
strument was used Setting IT up on
three points located by copper studs on
tho plaster cast and then transferring IL
to the granite block and fixing 1t on
three points similarly placed, he showed
how the cutting depth was indicated AT
various points by complicated s1ste'''
of arms and levers
ITS easy" he declared. "the kind OF
work I like to do Is much harder; that Is
making n copy of a model which is much
smaller than the finished piece Is to be
or one much larger than the model YOU
can't use pointing instrument on that
kind Of work or in reversing. either
You have to make all comparisons by
using calipcrs, which show, for instance
the comparative length of the nose ant
brow, or the depth of the background al
| one point compared to the depth at an
| other"
When asked about the most difficult
| task he meets with, he replied
THE hardest Is when YOU have tt

duce II. that is make 1t face the opposite
| direction from the one shown in thu
model and make it n different size, too
That takes real skill, for there are 81
many chances for mistakes"
Then, as he turned to his work agalr
and the chips began to fly, he added;
"I wish this was marble. 1t is hard t
