FRENCH AFRAID
GERMANS PLAN
ANOTHER WAR

PARIS, June 3.-Possibility of an.
other European war in the near flu.
ture was forecast today by the
French government and the press
regarding. the part Germany may
play in the situation in Poland.
Editorial comment showed deep
concern at the possible fate now con-
fronting Poland.
The Swiss correspondent of LIN
transigeant declared in a dispatch
today that several members of the
German government met in SWitzer-
land last week and discussed the pos
sibility of German participation on
the Polish front. Experts he de-
clared, had pointed out to the meet
ing that Germany Immediately could
put 100000 men in the field against
France, and 100000 against Poland.
The plan was temporarily abandoned,
he said. owing to the uncertainty eX-
pressed by the German leaders that
the other powers would remain neu-
trail.
Frances interest in Poland is due
to the support she has given to the
organization OF the new state. Henry
Bidou, French military critic, sums
up the situation with a statement

Swallows 1920 Pieces
OF Metal, Still Lives

BALTIMORE, Md.-A remarkable
story Of a woman swallowing great
quantities of all sorts of metallic
articles and surviving was told by
DR.. J. Clement Clark, superintendent
of Springfield hospital, at Sykes
Vile, Md. The case was a patient
in the hospital who would frequent
ly pull pins from the nurses aprons
and swallow them. She ate we'll and
never complained of pain. Later she
began to run a little temperature,
and refused to eat. Finally hard
mass was found in her stomach, and
owing to her known habit of seiz-
ing different objects and attempting
to swallow them, the nature of the
mass was suspected.
She was sent to University hospi-
tai, in Baltimore, and operated on.
with the result Of finding 1920 for
eign bodies massed together in her
stomach, consisting of 1858 straight
pins, As safety pins, 129 hairpins,
8 pieces of bone hairpins, SO pieces
of wire, 6 buttons, 1 iron screw
staple, iron hook, 1 wire nail, /
paper clamp, garter buckle and a
breastpin.
She made an uneventful recovery
and was returned to Springfield hos
pital. where she has gained twelve
and one-half pounds in weight, suf-
fering in no apparent way from her
unusual experience.

"FooI Hens" Mistake
Hot Cinders for COrri

COOKPORT, r. T.. March 24.-Vet-
Urinary J.. A. fodder was called to
the M. c. Bevley hennery to treat
fifty white Leghorn hens. When the
doctor arrived an examination reveal
ed that the bills Of the hens were
badly burned.
Mr. Bevley said the hens first at
tracted his attention when they were
running around the yard with their
mouths open. He caught hen and
found her bill was burned and later
summoned the veterinary. Mr.. BeV-
ley says he was at a loss to under
stand what burned the bills OF his
hens until he saw a hen pick up
glowing cinder in the yard and
quickly drop 1t. He then solved the
mystery.
The hen yard is located five yards
from the railroad tracks. A freight
locomotive standing near threw a
shower of red hot cinders into the
yard. AS fast az the sparks fell
the hens rushed for them and picked
them up. Bevley says the fool hens"
thought the cinders were corn.
The veterinary believes he will
be able to save at least a half of
the hens; the others will have to
be killed.

Banking circles here have also no.
ticed an increase in balances of in

Part of the large increase, which
ranks Louisville as sixth in the coun-

attributed to the natural increase in

coaxingly, maneuvering his auto
alongside her. She stopped. The
chief extracted sturdy rope from
his tool kit, tied it about her neck,
and attached the other end to the
rear axle of the car. Lucy wagged
her tail contentedly.

Then he cranked the buzz wagon,
leaped in, coaxed the accelerator,
and was off-for a few feet only.
Lucy had sat down. She was chew
ing the last of her dandelion cud.
The chief wiped his brow, stopped
the engine, and got out.
He cut a switch from a campus
maple. He flicked Lucy lightly on
the withers. She arose. Another flick.
She walked in front of the car.
The chief transferred the rope from
the rear to the front axle. He
shortened it just sufficiently for
Lucys rear feet to clear the car.
Then, without starting the engine,
he climbed aboard, flicked Lucy
snappily, and commanded:

For the first time she seemed to
feel the thrill Of life along her keel.
She moved majestically forward. The

was slow but sure. From the campus
to the station is three miles. They
started at noon and got there at 6

Mr.. Blackman decided to call in his
family physician. The physician told
him that he, seemed to have strength
in his legs and that he ought to try
to use them. At this suggestion Mr.
Blackman surprised the physician by
walking around the room. Afterward
he left the house unaided and walked
around the block.
