UNKNOWN WOMAN
SERIOUSLY HURT
Seek Identity of Patient at Ep-
worth Hospital-Struck
by Automobile.

An unknown woman Of so years
lies badly hurt in Epworth hospital
as a result OF being struck by an au-
tomobile Wednesday morning at the
corner of Jefferson and Main st.
Quite a bit of-mystery surrounds the
case. She was struck by an automo-
bile and taken to the hospital by a
passing motorist. The accident oc-
CURED about $50 a. m.
There was nothing on her person
to indicate her Identity A small
pocketbook was the only article
found in her clothing but there were
no letters or other articles that
might throw some light as to her
identity.
One woman. whose name was not
learned. called at the hospital
Thursday morning and stated that
she believed the woman's name was
"Kowal." She was not sure OF her
identity. however. She was unable
TO give any information that would
lead 10 the finding of friends or rela-
tives
The woman is suffering a severe
skull fracture and is in a critical
condition.
Last night she was rational
at Zines and attendants be-
lieved that she has a chance TO re-
cover. When she was taken TO the
hospital she was wearing a black
sailor hat and a Bingham dress. Her
accent has led attendants TO believe
that she Is either Hungarian or po-
lish. She weighs about $50 pounds,
is about FIVE foot one inch in height
and has dark hair and blue eyes.

Mo Backache for the Healthy

That lumbago, sciatica and other
forms of backache are to be regarded
as reflex neuralgias, like that due to
decayed teeth, is theory advanced
by DR.. Folke Lindstedt of Stockholm,
as the result of examinations of 1878
recruits for the Swedish army. Out
of the total number, 1,57S,117. or IA
per cent, had suffered from lumbago,
sciatica or backache. Among those
with serious morbid conditions" the
number who had suffered from lum-
bago was PAS per cent; among those
with minor ailments. the number was
81 per cent, and among the perfectly
healthy it was emily IL per cent. In
the case of sciatica. 3.46 per cent of
those with serious morbid conditions
had suffered, and only OBJ per cent Of
the healthy recruits.

Voice Carried $500 Miles.

By means of the transcontinental
telephone line a connection was ex-
tended to San Francisco and thence
south to Los Angeles, where, by means
of a radio telephone connection, the
circuit was extended to Catalina island,
thirty miles distant in the Pacific.
Satisfactory conversation was thus
carried on between Catalina and Cuba,
distance Of something over $500
miles. This is the greatest distance
over which commercial telephone serv-
ice has thus far been established.
The Cuba cables are the longest
deep sea telephone cables in use, and
embody in practical form a number Of
the recent scientific developments. To
provide for the traffic expected three
of these cables were successfully laid.
Each cable is capable of carrying
simultaneously one telephone converse

.IRIsHMEN ONCE WORE kits
Assertion Made by New York News
paper-Bagpipes Differed From
Those of the Scots.

There Is no more doubt that kits
In Ireland than there is that the
Breton laws were once In operation,
| declares the New York Evening Tele-
gram.
In Ireland kits of one color-saffron
were used. Nothing like the tartan,
by which the various Scottish clans
are still distinguished, was ever ar
rived at
Irish bagpipes were Of simple
type. They were not blown, but
pumped and never reached the high
state of development of the war In
strument so closely associated with
Scots fighting regiments for hundreds
Of years and with life in the high
lands
The Irish guards have had the pipes
since their formation as a result Of
the Boer war.
Among those in private life who af-
fected the use Of Irish kits In town
as well as country In recent years
was one Of the brothers of the pres
ent Lord Ashbourne, son of the for
mer lord chancellor.
In many minute details as to equip
ment, dress and custom there was
close parallel between the two coun-
tries
Antique gold ornaments in the Dub
lin museum, while of the same type
as those Of the ancient Scots, are DIFF
ferent in sculptural design. But In
both instances the workmanship Is
distinctly Celtic.
Both countries had the clan system.
In Ireland the chiefs, so often in
accurately described as "kings" were
nothing but the heads Of families, with
the dependents and slaves.
In going back to the Celtic dress and
music the Irish are resuming what the
Scots never entirely abandoned
