MIS-. Emfna NJ. ToWne, aunt OF
Miss Aida Hayward. the victim of a
murderous assault at Winthrop, was
startled recently when in coughing,
the bullet which entered her neck
from the revolver fired at her by
Kirby dropped into the lower part of
her throat; bending forward and
coughing the bullet was thrown into
her mouth from which she removed
it. She at once had her throat
treated to avoid any infection or
other trouble. Plans had previously
been made that she go to the Winth-
rop Community Hospital in
short time to have the bullet re-
moved.

The efficiency of any vacuum
cleaner depends upon its nozzle
design The patented nozzle of
the APEX is divided in its center
to form two nozzles SO that its sue
ton is extended uniformly all the
way across to the extreme ends of
its 13-inch length. The APEX
never fails to get the most deeply
imbedded dust and dirt from any
rug or carpet.
But the APEX is much more
than a cleaner of floor coverings.
By the aid of its easily connected
special cleaning tools it can be
used for removing dust and dirt,
quickly and thoroughly, from up
holstery, cushions, tufted mattress
es, curtains, draperies, holdings,
radiators, pianos etc.

HAVING finished my small brag-
gings to let one nice but over
humorous man see that / ants not as
green" as the fields of France-and
begging your pardon for the inter
ruption, l go back to my starting
place:
At Amalf, hungry after a ride
around and around a mountain, up
and up; with falls of thousands of
feet an inch or two on the offside of
the wheels, and the rearing of dizzy
walls that near-graZed the car on
the inner side, we had luncheon at
hotel Of whitey-gray stone that was
once the Monastery of the Capuchins.
The wide, clustered corridor looked
downward on the bluest of seas, with
like CloiSterS terraced below each
other to the waters frothy begin
ningS. There was the fragrance Of
century-old trees not bushes - of
geraniums of brilliantist scarlet; and
roses and every other flower and
vine. with palms and like exotic
foliage to shade the sunny walks, and
grottoes and shrines and quiet, syl-
van spots which must have been good
ly praying places for the monks who
nursed plaques and have gone their
way to gardens more beautiful still.
Another ride up another mountain
to Sorrento, where we stayed at a
hotel perched on the dizzy edge of
a cliff that shot up from the water.
Some of us had swims-we called it
swimming-neXt morning, but 1t was
better fun to lean over a balcony and
see the forms of natives or visitors
darting under the waves as If they
were so many fish: clear water that
showed sea sponges way below. Men
in racing shells shone like bronze in
the sun. and other boats with young
men and women Scooted along to the
music of Neapolitan strings-all play
ing and laughing together. and some
chanting hymns to st. Ann, whose
feast day it was. and who seemed
mighty popular on her festival of
untrammeled joy.
All this, of course. after mass at
the great cathedral. which had been
packed and TANNED with such reVer-
ent people as to amaze me. though I
have been going to church all my
life.
At Capri, consisting of two noun
tains of limestone, in the Gulf of
Naples, we were lifted up and up
above streets-terraced on the sides
of the mountain-with intimate
glimpses OF native life. all picturesque

to climb. When we were through the
managers gave each of US women a
sheaf of gay flowers that would make
any debutante bouquet turn pale. and
then we got in the trainlike car and
were lowered to the rocky beach,
where we took a boat for the Blue
Grotto.
The thing that interested me was
not the grotto itself. but the tradition

NOME, Alaska, Feb. q
Fighting through a bowling biz
zard lashing the trails near
Norton Sound, Leonard Seppala
and Gunner Kasson were report
ed urging their dog teams bring
ing anti-toXin to diphtheria-rav-
aged Nome, in the vicinity of
Unalaklcet today.
The serum is not expected in
Nome until tonight at the earli-
est and terrific weather condi-
tions may delay its delivery
many hours longer.
The last report by radio plac-
ed the dogs be,ween Unalakleet
and Old Woman, the next relay
station, and indicated they had
been AL but stopped by the
blizzard.
The wind was blowing 20
miles an hour at Nome, with
temperature of 16 below zero.
While definite weather reports
from the vicinity of Unalakleet
were lacking it was pointed out
that Norton Sound, over which
the trail leads, undoubtedly IS
wind swept and the drivers may
be forced to take the inland
route, around the sound, adding
approximately 100 miles to the
distance.
Owing 10 poor communica-
tions along the last 200 miles of
the trail, it was impossible to
predict accurately when the sled
might arrive.
1t was expected that Nome
would be reached by night, how
ever.

that persons who win in gambling operations must
nav an income tax on their winnings Which seems fair
enough as applied to professional gamblers and even IN
those occasional players who gamble merely for social
diversion. For gambling winnings are income.
But that is not the worst of it. Losings, the
board holds cannot be deducted from gross winnings
Poker and bridge devotees will regard this as an IN
