IN A MOVIE HOUSE
Mrs. T.. ID. Stout Of Moline Suffers
Attack Believed Due TO the
Recent Heat.

Mrs. f. D. Stout, 1924 Twelfth ave-
nue., yesterday afternoon suffered an
attack of heat prostration while in
moving picture theatre. She was hur-
ried to her home, where she suffered
a second attack. 1t was feared for a.
time that she would not recover. Mrs.
Stout was attended by DR.. 2. H.
Vessel.
The woman had spent the early part
of the afternoon shopping in down.
town stores. Suffering from exposure
in the open, she entered the theatre
while in heated condition. The diff
ference of temperature in the theatre,
coupled with the eyestrain resulting
from viewing the moving pictures, are
thought to have caused the attack.
Other patrons of the theatre noticed
Mrs Stout fall back in her seat and
quickly went to her assistance. The
woman was unconscious when remov-
ed from the building.

MUSIC FELT MORE
THAN IT IS HEARD
So Asserts Robert w. Stevens, Direc-
torat the University of Chicago
Can Smell 1t, Too, He Says.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Music is felt more
distinctly than heard, according to
Robert w. Stevens, director of music
at the University of Chicago. In an ad-
dress three weeks ago Professor Stew
ems said it was possible to smell music
Yesterday Mr.. Stevens said:
Have you ever listened to violin
list and received an impression that
your cheeks were passing over sort
silk, or on another occasion scraplng
sandpaper? During the singing or
Ruffo or Caruso do not the hearers
feel physical reaction of the pulse and
shiver running up and down the
spinal cord?
Who has not at times heard the
blast of a cornet with the reaction of
a spear piercing his side or heard
singing that put his mutilated body
through a saw mill? Why does an
army have drum and bugle corps in
its front ranks? Because every man.
feet and pulse leap in response to the
tones as if he were pushed forward
bodily.
