FIRE BUG WANTS DOCTORS TOCU
 OUT EVIL TWIST
(By Associated Press)

By Associated PreSs)
 COLUMBUS, Ohio-Haunted for more than thirty years by a mania that caused him to spend fifteen years of his life in prisons for arson, Will Hard Norvell, of this city, has asked the authorities to put him in the care of an alienist so that he can undergo an operation to cure him of this at- fliction.
 Norvell said he had been in jail six different times for setting fire to diff ferent buildings. He said that he had never set fire to an occupied res idence or other place where life would have been endangered, and declared that after each fire he voluntarily sur rendered ot the authorities. | Norvell said that for year recent 1 ly he felt no urge to set fire. He had believed himself cured, he ex- plained, when one day he walked past stack of straw. He had box of matches in his pocket, and in a min ute the straw was ablaze. Then Nor we'll now is in jail at Gainesville, O., 1awaiting trial for setting fire to the straw stack. He declares that some crook in his brain for thirty years has been causing him to set fires. Norvell believes that an operation would cure him, so he has applied to the authorities for an opportunity to test his theory. The application is being given serious consideration and it is likely an experiment will be tried. The case has been put in the hands of Louis F. Miller, the state fire mar shall.

BALDWIN CABINET NAMED BALDWINS
 ALL HAIR
(By Associated Press)


 LONDON, Jan. 13.-By mail.-The newly-formed Baldwin cabinet, al ready hailed as ministry of silk hats" and cabinet of Londoners, '' has achieved another distinction that is likely to prove the nickname "baldwins," already given by the press most appropriate.
 For most of them are bald. Only Lord Birkenhead, the secretary for India, and Austen Chamberlain, for eign minister, can boast of anything Ike an abundance of hair on their heads, and Mr. Baldwin himself cx- hibits a distinct cleavage between the desert and the oasis. The rest are beyond all aid of parrafin, CO., coanut oil or the thousand and one other preparations guaranteed to cover even a billiard ball with a growth of luxuriant foliage. Unkind critics say that never before has the old phrase ''leather-headed torry' been so strikingly illustrated.
 The war minister, Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, is accounted the baldest of the "baldwins." Then there is Winston Churchill, chan cellor of the exchequer, whose lack of hirstute adornment covers les ser acreage, but whose shining top is particularly distinctive. Lord Chancellor Gave and the lord privy seal Lord Salisbury, are "just bald, while Sir William JoynsontHicks, the home secretary, has plenty of hair in back but is the possessor of what is courteously known as high forehead with a receding line of hair in front.
