In the September Woman's Home
Companion, William Armstrong,
writing an article entitled 1.-THE
Twilight Sleep at Freiburg," gives
complete report of visit to the much
talked-of women's clinic at Freiburg,
Germany, where painless childbirth
has been achieved. The editor of the
Companion suggests that readers
suspend judgment as to the value of
the new method until fuller investi-
cation can be made The Twilight
Sleep" is not yet available In Ameri-
ca. and will not be for considerable
period, even il it eventually proves
to be practicable. American obste-
tricians are the best in the world,
and If the new method is sound 1t
will find it's way into this country.
Following is an extract from Mr..
Armstrong article:
TOR centuries man has sought to
annihi'ate the pain of woman in
childbirth.
cat last, after these centuries Of
effort, 1t is announced that the bless
ing Of painless childbirth has dawned
upon the world. confinement taking
place in unconscious consciousness.
This has been brought about through
the study and experiment of a group

"Dorkin 5 Night
Dear. Miss Dnnn

Dear Miss Doom:
lnclosed you will find the words
of the song, "Dorkin's Night re-
qnested by one of your readers.
MRS. FRANK. P.
DoRKIN'S NIGHT.
The theatre was full, it was Dorkin's
night,
And DorlSin was going to appear
That night in a favorite comedy
part,
For he was comedian here.
Funny how he'd make you laugh
Till the tears down your cheeks
ran like rain.
And as long as Dorkin was on the
stage
You'd try to stop laughing in vain.
A family? Yes, he'd family,
And he loved them as dear as his
And you'd scarcely find happier
lot
Than Dorkln's children and wife.
There came one night, and I was in
front,
When Dorkin was going to play
A character new to himself and the
stage
He'd trod for so many a day
BY eight the theatre was perfectly
crammed,
All waited pleasant surprise;
They knew they would laugh till
their sides would ache,
And they longed for the curtain
to rise.
The play soon began. Each neck
was stretched forth,
And eagerly watched each eye
For Dorkin to make his first en-
trance, and then
To give him cheerful Hi H."
He soon appeared amid loud ap-
plause.
But something was wrong you
could see:
"Dorkin Is playing quite badly to-
night"
The people said sitting round me
A hiss! Yes, it was; saw Dorkln
start
AS though stung by a serpent's
fang,
And he cast a beseechlng glance all
around
While his head on his breast
would hang.
Hes drunk and really I thought
SO myself
For to me 1t was awful at times
To see how he'd struggle along with
his part,
And continually halt in bis lines.
The footlights at last he approached
very slow;
Ladies and gentlemen" said,
IF I cannot please you all tonight
1.-THE faults not the heart but the
head.
There's many night I have made
you all laugh,
when so i'll I could scarcely we'll
stand:
when every effort was pain to me
then.
Yes. If even I raised but my
hand
you hiss me tonight and say I'm
drunk"
From his heart came a sob and a
moan.
'I'll tell you the reason, | know you
won't laugh
1--WE little one dying at home"
Thank you very much. Mrs. Frank
P. At times the meter is little UNI
certain. Are you quite sure that you
have quoted the song correctly?

The Six-Day Race
Continued from Yesterday

But in the second reason comes the
dare stuff" Three men at club. One
boasts. Great wheelman. Skeptic

tered on list.
Such was the case of Harry Linden,
the young son of a popular family of
Newark. Against the wishes of his
parents, who hated publicity. young
Linden had entered the race. and was
glad of it--so far. He was a remark
ably sklllful rider, and had chosen
for partner his friend and constant
companion, Jack White. The papers
were full of remarks about their won
derful lasting powers. AS one paper
states, For such boys lasting
power of two days without becoming
tired is miraculous"
Nevertheless they were not expected
to win, although they did stand first
on tire score, because Pop Needham,
the famous distance racer. had en-
tered, and this was supposed to be
his last race. He had always been
victorious, and so it was not to be
expected that he would lose this, his
last race. The two boys knew him
well. for he had taught them what
they knew about racing, and they felt
sorry indeed that he had entered. be-
cause they had resolved to win the
race and 80 prove their boast.
Harry" he had said before the
race, II want to give you some adj
vice." Laying friendly hand on the
youths shoulder, he said, Go slow;
look out for tricks from everyone, In
Guiding yours truly, and on the last
lap take the high turn so that you
will come down swiftly; then look out
for me-
Harry had laughed at him, and had
told him to look at the score, but the
old racer had smiled wise little
smile, and with twinkle in his eyes
he had remarked. "All right, Harry.
my boy, we'll see"
1t was the ending Of the fifth day
when Harry suddenly became aware
that his legs were falling him. He
