 BREAKS NECK, BUT LIVES

HARMONY, w. Va. Dec. r. When Joseph Miowsky, fifty-four, of Townsville. was brought to the Fair mont State Hospital with a broken neck il was supposed that he would die within d short time. But Miowsky not only escaped death, but is now walking around the same as anybody, without even a brace to support his head. The mans remarkable cure was effected through delicate surgical operation. which turned out entirely successful. For weeks his head and neck were encased in a plaster cast. When he left the hospital he walked away without assistance and wore no brace or other contrivance. Miowsky received the injury when caught be- meath a fall of slate while at work in n coal mine.

MARRIED WOMEN SHOULD KEEP INFORMED ON TOPICS
 INTERESTING TO PUBLIC
Housewife Should Not Be Indifferent to Politics, Declares Miss Anne Mathews, Demo crat, Recently Elected to Office of Register in New York City

men since the beginning of time have been keeping the home and raising the children while men have had unlimited opportunity to engage in civic affairs. A business training is the greatest asset for any public of flee man or woman. The person who has been employed understands best how to give the people full value for their money and how to get greatest quantity and best quality of work from those under him.
 CHANCE FOR MARRIED WOMEN
 "pcoplc who are compelled to work, especially if they like their yo- cation, are ideal public officials | believ" there are great possibilities for the married woman in political roles the woman who has raised children that have gone their way. who retains her youthful enthusiasm but. after years of isolated dumcsti- city, is out of touch with current events. Many medical men hold that the female brain, under such cir cumstances. retrogresses beyond re coyory. This theory is ridiculous. I can't rcfutc il scientifically. but know many women who have come back after raising families Chn- dron should broaden a woman. never cramp her. Of course, the mind be- comes 'labhy through disusc but the married woman's mental suggishness is no greater than that which af, hicts anyone after years of mind in- crtia

SAYS 4 TURNbACK
IS UNECONOM|CAL
Expert Engineer Says P. R. T.
Policy Diverts Traffic
From Line
THINKS COMPANY LOSES

Frank Ford. Of Ford. Bacon &
Davis, consulting engineers, of New
York. testified before the Public Serv-
Ice Commission at City Hall today that
the policy Of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company in turning every other
train Of the elevated subway back at
Sixty third and at Second streets
during rush hours Is uneconomical.
He testified for the Philadelphia AMI
Western Railway and the Philadelphia
and West Chester Traction Company,
and others. at continued hearing OF
their complaint against the turnbacI
policy.
The loss of time and Inconvenience
TO passengers through the transfers
made necessary by the turnback results
of transportation. as vel as loss OF
revenue" Ford testified.
When asked what he meant, he SAID
competing lines, "to say nothing Of
automobiles.
He cited an instance where in New
York interurban electric line which had
such a turnback in existence. eliminated
1t and increased traffic on the line q
or 30 per cent.
In 1913. he said, he made survey
showing that n four minute delay oc-
casioned by transfers resulted in d
decrease of 81 per cent in traffic.
He also declared that the turnbacks
on the elevated subway mean a loss in
traffic to the lines connecting with ii at
Sixty ninth street, as many passengers
use the steam trains or automobiles who
would use the subway elevated but for
the interruption caused by the turn
back.
The turnback system here saves only
three minutes each way In the operation
of the trains, he said. The subway
elevated, he said, Is more profitable than
the surface lines, figures show. There
fore, he declared, the p II. T. should
give passengers on the subway elevated
more consideration than on surface
lines.
In the long run, Ford said. the turn
back results in a Financial loss instead
of saving. He said the turnback
system is all right at the proper points
but that there is no excuse for 1t In
Philadelphia.

intersections, reported an hour later

All the men reported for duty at 0

being given to allow time to vote.
Although all reported for duty in the
center of the city, the majority live at
some distance and the added time was
necessary to get to the polls, vote and
then make the long journey to work.
Many of the street crossings will be

Of the public here toward prohiDi-

On the basis of five persons to

VIEWS ON IRISH
MESSAGE DIFFER
Belief Strong In London That
Note Tends to Relieve
Situation
BREAK FEARED, SAY PAPERS
BY the Associated Press


London, Sept. 20.--Primc Minister
Lloyd George had before him today at
Gairloch, Scotland, the note OF De
valera asking that he meet the Sinn
fein delegates in conference un-
trammeled by conditions.
The latest note exchanged between
the Prime Minister and Eamon de
Valera, sent yesterday by the Irish
leader to Lloyd George. did not. how
ever, except possibly by implication,
withdraw the offending paragraph Of
the Sim Fein note of September ~ in
which the sovereignty Of the Irish State
was asserted. and which led Lloyd
George to cancel his invitation to a
conference.
As viewed here the latest Irish note
was conciliatory in character, and II
seemed to place upon the Prime Min
lister the choice Of holding a free con
ference or insisting that Southern Ire
land formally express its allegiance to
the British crown.
It was generally believed that the
note marked step which would fond 70
relieve the situation Of some % of the eIu tenO ~
sion which developed late last week
and threatened to end, for q time at
least, any hope of an early settlement
Of the Irish controversy.
The newspapers, however, disagree as
TO whether the note means a rupture or
q forward step toward a conference
looking to an Irish settlement. The
majority Of the journals are still opti-
mistic.
The Pail Mall Gazette and Globe, for
example, uses the headline "a Rupture
says "the door IA not closed but neasi- :
mism prevails"
The Evening News. on the other
hand, speaks Of progress TO Irish
peace; De Valera clears the air" while
the Westminster Gazette headlines its
article Position Not Seriously Wor-
sened."
The Prime Minister is rapidly re-
covering from the indisposition which
confined him to his rooms Mt Gairloch,
and 1t seemed probable today that be-
fore replying to De Valera he would
confer with several members of the
Cabinet who are in Scotland.
1t was reported that private tele-
grams had passed freely between Dublin
and Gairloch, and that Lloyd George
had kept in close touch with sentiment
among the ministers who were in this
city.
He was said to be disposed to move
slowly in dealing with the Irish sit
uation, which is admittedly of consid-
