Miracle Of Miriam
Rubin, Talking Girl

Without warning, 8-year-old MIR
lam Rubin of Waukegan, H., was
stricken by a strange nalady which
so affected her vocal organs that she
talked without cessation night ana
day-for ten days.
The family physician and, latc y.
eminent consultants, were summoned
to interpose their scientific knowledge
and skill in endeavors to save the
child from what appeared certain
death by exhaustion.
Hour after hour they requisitioned
the lore OF the world of science, bend
ing every effort toward stilling in
sleep the voice of the small suffered.
But sulcease in sleep was not attain
able. Every form of sedative admin
istered proved ineffective.
Girl Grows Weaker
Daily the child became weaker. The
specialists in attendance admitted
they were baffled and hope of saving
the girl dwindled.
The attention of the whole world
was drawn to the fight being made to
save tie life of the babbling young
ster and cures were suggested by the
score from all parts Of the country.
At this point DR.. Paul Q. Berger, 9
chiropractor, Of Waukegany stepped
forward with the confident assertion
that he could save the child's life He
asked an opportunity to give evidence
of his ability. DR.. R. H. I Nesblt,
the family physician, and two consult
ants agreed.
DR.. Berger was given full charge
of the case. Other treatment OF every
kind was discontinued.
Blames Displaced Vertehra
DR.. Berger said a displaced verte-
bra had impinged on the nerves con-
trolling the organ of speech. He made
an examination which confirmed his
diagnosis and then, with deft twist

FORFEITS GAME
TO LOCAL TEAM

The Boomers Ferry high school team
played its last game of the season on
the local floor last Wednesday night
The game ended in a forfeiture of the
game by the Newport high school team
to the local team, the score resulting
20 in Bonners' favor.
The Newport team left the floor at
the end of the first half and decided
not to return because they claimed an
unfair deal on the part of Referee
Mcnamara.
The game started with squirt and
before many moments it was quite
evident that Newport cared not to play
basket ball but resorted to methods
of playing that could not even be al
lowed in the game of football Not
being able to get away with it with
Mcnamara refereeing they played the
part of ancient small town sports and
decided to quit. The Newport team
and coach left the gymnasium with a
string of alibis rods long which be-
came longer as time passed by.
In condensed form some of Coach
Langster's statements were as fol-
lows: /. Newport never got a square
uedl ueTes Z. referee MaCnamara
crooked" g. Viewpoints center can high
jump feet 10 inches;" 4"Plato re-
placed Rohlf because Plato was the
better football player" etc, etc. The
following morning Coach LANCASTER was
asked to cover these statements with
$40 to $25 each, to prove the first
one by calling Viewpoints star player,
Shumway, of last years team by long
distance, taking Shumway's statement
for proof; to prove statement No.
by calling long distance coach of all
other teams who have played here with
Mcnamara refereeing. In regard to
Viewpoints center's jumping ability,
Coach Campbell agreed to set up jump
ing standards and mats in the gymna-
SUM, allow the Newport center to
jump at feet 8 inches instead of
feet 10 inches. Statement No was
to be proved by a doctors statement
regarding Rohlf's condition. The New
port coach refused to cover any of his
above statements with money. Coach
LANCASTER also refused to play neutral
game with Boomers Ferry on a neutral
floor, such as Standpoint or Spirit
Lake, with Coach Taylor of North
Central as a referee.
The Newport team also played at
Standpoint, losing by one point and
stated that Referee Hagie at Standpoint
did rotten job of refereeing. Hagie
during the game removed a Newport

PLANS TO EXPORT COPPER
SURPLUS ARE ANNOUNCED

New York, Feb. 10.-Plans for fl
nancing the sale for export purposes
of 40O,000,0O0 Of the 100000, 900 pounds
of surplus copper were made public
last night with announcement that the
product was pledged as security for
$40.0OO,OO0 eight per cent notes of the
copper export association to be offer
ed for public sale by a banking syn
dictate headed by the National City
company and the Guaranty Trust COM
pany of New York. This is said to be
the first large public loan made in
this country TO be secured specifically
by a certain amount OF an essential
commodity as well as the first big
movement by American companies to
take advantage of the opportunities
offered under the Webb export trade
act to invite public participation in the
financing Of foreign trade.
Accumulation of surplus copper was
the result of the sudden ending OF the
war and the inability OF European con-
sumers to take their usual require
ments. The present rate of produc-
ton is said to be below the deliveries
of copper in 1919 and 1920. making a
further heavy accumulation imprOba.

Fairy Tale :.
THE SWANS.
NWARY GRAHAr1 BONNER

"They say" the Black Swan re-
marked, shat II Is the unexpected that
always happens.
"They say that 1t Is the person you
least expect to meet that somehow you
do meet, and that when you're Tar
away from home you're apt to see
some one who is an old friend OF
yours from your home town.
"That all is very true, ! do believe,
and when folks think that all the
swans in the world are White Swans,
they are naturally surprised when
they see that there are Black swans
after ALL"
"Of course" the Trumpeter Swan
said, "is is more usual to see White
Swan. It is the usual color one thinks OF
when one is thinking Of swans"
"The trouble Is" said the Black
Swan, that folks do not think about
swans enough"
81 think that is true" the Trumpeter
Swan answered.
"Yes," said the Black Swan, Il fear
that is the great truth. Folks rarely
sit down, fold their hands, shut their
eyes and say to themselves:
"'Now for a nice little, quiet time
for thinking when l can think about
swans, lovely, lovely swans
"No, / fear that folks seldom sit
down and say that they are going to
think of swans.
"And l fear that few people stop In
their business and say to themselves:
az cannot get the thought of swans
out Of my mind
II don't believe that children stop
In their play or when they're doing
their lessons and say to themselves:
allow are the swans getting along,
we wonderT
at isn't often, II ever, that mothers
say:
"Dear me, must bring up the chill
dren to think Of swans
"No, they talk Of bringing the chill
dren up to think more Of good man.
ners, but of swans not at all. Or
rather, they don't bother to think
about us.
"If they stopped to think about US
someone might say:
"'Are all swans whittier
"And then some one would answer:
"'Why, no, there is Mr.. Black
Swan and his family
"And then they'd ask more about
me and they'd find out more and more.
The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1921-05-05

"Then maybe some of them would
be so interested that they would come
to see me If they lived anywhere near
Zoos.
"And IL they didn't live near ZOOS
they might get some one to tell them
about us-some one who had seen
us In a zoo. They would hear then
that we came from the southern part
Of Australia and Tasmania.
''They would hear that our plumage
Is glossy, shiny, beautiful and black,
except around the beaks and so forth.
But we dress in glossy, beautiful,
rich looking black.
"And they would hear that we were
Of good size and that we were beauti-
full, and that all who wanted to have
fine exhibitions Of swans and geese
and ducks would want members of
our family In It."
"Of course" said the Trumpeter
Swan, "if they talked more about
swans they would hear that we were
one of the largest Of the families Of
swans to be found anywhere. They
would hear Of our beautiful white
plumage.
"And they would know that we liked
it<Aore in the zoo and were pleasant
endly.
Iy might even hear that we were
ers Of swan society here"
And IL they talked more of swans"
said the Mute Swan, "they would
know that l had black knob at the
bottom Of my bill. They would know,
too, that Mrs. Mute Swan has the ba-
bies come here, for she thinks the zoo
IL a nice place for little Mute Swan
babies.
They'd know more Of these things
II they talked about swans. Yes, that
II true"
"But most important Of ALL" said
the Black Swan, would be for them
to know that all swans weren't white,
no, indeed. They should know that
one of the important Swan families IL
the great Black Swan family"
