Hypotisn1 Of Woman By
 Radio Was Great Success

which consented to assist him in pu.- ting on the demonstration for the town.
 It's the second time in history the feat has been attempted. However, if the experiment goes as well as it went the first time in Atlanta, little Miss Kyle will open her eyes very shortly after o'clock this afternoon at the Tranon, and probably be as hungry as a horse after her lengthy beauty sleep"
 However. here's a funny thing:
 Miss Kyle told me that when she first walked up she realized no sense of hunger, Tor of being tired or any thing"
 Big Crowds
 Long before the time set for the show-which was 3:30-great crowds were on hand. Many persons stood up for two or three hours before the event, and watched, through the win dows of the Matthews company, all the details of making ready.
 It was thought tlbre might be complications as there was some sta tic to be overcome--but when the moment arrived that the voice of Wis hun, the 'hypnotist, was to begin. his tones rang out very clearly.
 The young lady was sitting in chair on the radio tables which had been placed on the sidewalk.
 While the hypnotist was so many dozens of blocks distant, yet the aud fence heard:
 Tn connection with The Age-Her- aid and the Trianon theatre, it gives me great pleasure to attempt this strange, new feat of hypnotizing a woman by radio"
 Everybody strained to hear. for it was in the open air and there were disturbing noises. Then the eonver- sation seemed to die away for mo- ment.
 Miss Kyle Smiling
 Miss Kyle, meanwhile. had placed the saunders over her ears, and was smiling very sweetly at the audience. In a moment, however, as the voice continued, there came, suddenly, different expression into her face. It was the command of the master.
 Very loudly. it seemed to me, l heard;
 Fix your eyes, Miss Kyle, upon definite object! Let your mind be- come concentrated upon the one thought-that of sleep
 Put your knees together"
 The lady, who was listening, became strangely still-seemed to be for getting.
 "You-will drift off peacefully to sleep-sleep''-and the radio buzzed on in mental suggestion.
 Little by little. the subject lurched forward. Her eyes closed
 So small of stature, she is very much like a child, and as her eye- lids fell, she appeared strangely like a kiddie falling into a nap she could not put off any longer. She had be- gun to droop, and then Spider one of the members of the Nishnu com pany, and "Raffles," who stood to help her, hurriedly took the receivers off her ears.
 Just the Horn
 This left the subject entirely de- pendent upon the radio horn for the remainder of the experiment.
 The men lifted her gently up. She was limp. She could easily have fallen.
 From over the long distance, the hypnotist seemed uncannily to sense this; to feel her need of him. From out the radio horn. like crack of quick thunder, came then:
 Let your body become rigid!"
 The answer was instantaneous along Miss Kyle's body
 She strengthened, with every muscle becoming solid. l put my hand on her arm. She seemed dead. I could not even detect quiver. She might have been placed on her feet then, and could have stood up stiffly like a doll.
 At this moment the ambulance stretcher appeared. and Miss Kyle, in her cunning little pink pajamas' was lifted upon it and taken to the Woodin company's ambulance. Clear ing the track, the drivers next bore Miss Kyle immediately to the Louis Saks window.
 Put to Bed.
 Here hundreds of other persons were waiting to see her brought in
