Ride Right Up to Heaven
By Holding Your Breath,
European Scientists Say

LONDON, Feb. 2-scisntists
OF Europe have been conducting
experiments in the art Of, breath
ing, and as a result have ar
rived at some interesting con-
clusions.
The theory is advanced that BY
abnormal control OF the breath
ing powers. the breath being held
for an unusually long time, a
person may ascend into the
astral realm" and commune with
things higher up.
One Of the scientists claims to
have demonstrated that rapid
breathing of pure air acts as an
anesthetic and irenders a person
immune to pain as long as II Is
maintained. or course, after the
rapid inhalations cease the pain
will be felt. -
BY a little training a person
may induce sound sleep by deep
and rapid breathing for a few
minutes.

VOTES P. 0. MILLION
INSTEADOFNOTHING

The Senate committee of the whole
yesterday got tangled up in parlia-
mentary laws, voting the Postoffice
Department $1,OOO,OOO for motor
truck mail service when it was the
intention to vote nothing.
The bill, which provides money for
the operation Of the postal system
next year, carried $1,000. 900 for mo-
tor truck service as reported to the
Senate after passage by the House.
The Senate Postoffice Committee,
not so literally inclined. reduced this
item to 100000. While the item was
under consideration, Senator King OF
Utah made an impassioned plea in
behalf of-the people and the United
States Treasury, urging that not even
100000 be allowed for motor truck
service.
The vote showed a good majoritYjn
favor Of dropping the amendment
Parliamentarians smiled, saying the
vote accomplished that which they
intended TO do away with. It is said
dropping the amendment automatl-
cally restores the 81 100000 clause.

Stolen Auto BaIkS
In Front Of Home
Of Righful Owner

ST. LOUIS, Feb. "A stolen
automobile that was being driven
past the home Of its owner, Carl
Bahnsen, stopped suddenly at the
customary spot in front OF the
house and refused TO go any
further. Bahnsen and his wife,
returning from a picture show,
found ii there.
Mrs. BahnSen recognized the
automobile, and saw that it cen
tained a woman, while a man was
desperately trying to crank It.
Bahnsen grabbed the man, while
Mrs. Bahnsen got the woman.
Both freed themselves, and the
man escaped, but the Bahnsens
overlook and held his companion.
The woman told the police she
was Mrs. Ida Brashear, twenty
years old, and that the man was
her husband, Percy. whom she
married a year ago. She said
her husband came after her in tho
machine and she didn't knew
where he got it. 1t had been
