NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH OF
 MRS. DOUGLAS
Hair Caught In Gasoline Engine and Scalp Torn
 From Head In Wheels

Mrs. George A. Douglas, of FOG Howard avenue, temporarily living near Stepney Depot, was severely in jured yesterday morning when her hair caught in the wheel of a gasoline engine and the entire scalp almos: torn from her head. She is resting comfortably today at the Bridgeport Hospital and according to the doc tors is out of danger.
 1t appears Mrs. Douglas had washed her hair yesterday morning and went to. the basement of her home with her tresses hanging loosely about he1 shoulders. While examining gaso- line motor which was used to pump the water for the house and outbuild- ings her hair became entangled in the wheels and she would have been kill ed had it not been for the promptness with which William Curtis, an employ stopped the machine with his bare hands.
 It was some time before the hail and torn scalp of the injured woman could be disentangled from the ma chine and Curtis communicated an other machine and raced after the au- to carrying Mrs. Douglas to the hos pital Both machines arrived at the hospital at about the same time. The torn scalp was grafted back by Dr Phillip w. Bill.

BURLESQUE GUN
 MOCKS ENGLISH

MT. Henry Morgenthau, formerly U. s. Ambassador to Turkey, visited the Dardanelles while the English were bombarding them. In his me moirs, now being published in the Worlds Work, he tells of a trick by which the Turks deceived the fleet. "A sergeant was the custodian of a contraption which, at a distance, look ed like 8 real gun, but which when I examined 1t near at hand, was ap- parently an elongated section of sewer pipe. Back of hill, entirely hidden from the fleet, was placed the gun with which this sergeant had cooper ated. The two were connected by telephone. When the command came to fire, the gunner in charge of the howitzer would discharge his shell, while the man in charge of the sewer pipe would burn several pounds of black powder and send forth a con- spicuous cloud of inky smoke. Not unnaturally the Englishmen and that the shells speeding in their direc- tion came from the visible smoke cloud and would proceed to centre all their attention upon that spot. The space around this burlesque gun was pock marged with shell holes; the ser geant in charge, I was told, had at tracted more than 800 shots, while the real artillery piece still remained in tact and undetected"
