WOMAN, LONG
MISSING, BACK
AS PARALYT|C
Returns in Six Weeks With Mind
BIank-Believes She
Was Dragged.

BOSTON, Dec. 26.-with her mind
slowly clearing as to details Of her
adventure, Mrs. Lily Tonneson,
thirty, is again safely home after a
mysterious absence Of six weeks. She
is now at Hull with her husband and
five-year- daughter.
Early in November Mrs. Tonneson,
who Is a mere wisp of q woman, left
for a visit at Cape Cod. She disap-
peared and her arrival there Decem-
Der IA was not learned until today.
Part Of her body was paralyzed and
her mind was almost a blank.
1t has been learned that she was
placed aboard the train for Yarmouth
Port by a mysterious woman who
directed the purchase Of her ticket
at the South Station.
DR.. w: H. sturgis, a physician on
the South Shore, says that when he
first examined Mrs. Tonneson she
showed signs Of having been drugged.
He declares, however, that her con-
dition does not indicate that 1t could
have been administered many times
during the past six weeks.
Her paralytic condition is extremely
puzzling, and her impaired mentality
likewise. Careful examination has
failed to show the slightest injury
or evidence Of mistreatment.

WHY Do WOMEN
So OFTEN SAY
JUST BECAUSE
rob, Just Because" Brightly
Respond College Girls to
Psychology Professor.
by international News Service

BALTIMORE, Dec 26.-Why does
q woman say "just because?" An
swers to this question. put to the
seniors Of Goucher College by Pro-
fessor Ethel Bowman, of the depart
ment Of psychology, indicate that the
chief reason, simply enough is because
she has nothing better to say. The
great majority of the girls while deny
ing that an educated woman today
ever uses such an answer, offered q
widely varying number of reasons for
the famous reply, chief among which
were mental laziness, love Of appear
ing unfathomable, acting on intuition
rather than reason, dislike for argu-
ment, and-sometimes because a man
wouldn't understand a woman's an
swer anyhow.
There was q pretty general feel
ing" said Professor Bowman, that
woman's use Of this traditional reply
has been greatly exaggerated. Over
q dozen girls fatty asserted that men
use II as much as women do. Some
of the comments on this point were
interesting to the effect that the
phrase must have been attributed to
women in the age when men con-
sidered them brainless. that the an
swer Is a survival Of the time when an
attractive woman wasn't supposed to
be too intelligent and that men are
often incapable Of catching the finer
drawn by woman's more
subtle mind"

Says Never Ask the Conductor to Explain a
Time Table-H He Could Understand 1t
He Wouldn't Have to Be Working
for the Railroad.
By John p Medbury.

There is an old saying Figures
DON'T lie." but the guy who wrote it
rever read a time table.
II . train h due at 10 o'clock Mon
day morning II will come in ut 10
o'clock even II Il takes until Tuesday
morning to do It.
Some Of the railroads ought to print
their time tables on ouija boards.
II a train comes in late they're sorry.
If it comes in on time. they're sur
prised.
It's wonderful how the engineer
knows where you want to 20 when he
DOESN'T even see your ticket.
One man who was going to an in
sane asylum started to read a time
table. Another man who wasn't going
there. started to read one and he went,
anyway.
Never ask the conductor to explain
time table. II he could understand
enc he wouldn't have to be working
for the railroad.
He doesn't have to read a time table.
He goes wherever the train does.
There's one thing about a time
table, you can hold 1t in any position
you want without any fear of being
able to understand 1t.
The man who draws up time
tables Ia the same guy who designs
our income tax blanks and the
questionnaries from the insurance
companies.
He takes two or three thousand
figures and smcars them on q page
and tehn sprinkles them with . lot
Of periods and commas.
He never has to read them. He
gets such q small salary for doing
this that he can't afford to travel.
It's funny thing but the stations
on the time table run In the ssalne
rotation as the ones along the rail-
road tracks.
There's two hours change in time
between New York and Omaha
This is to give the printer q couple
Of hours to rest while he's printing
them.
OF course, the printer can't read
the time table either. He doesn't
have to understand 1t. all he has to
do il print 1t.
