Mental Transformation.

In the course of some investigations
of epilepsy, a French neurologist Sc
cured some specimens of writing begun
before epileptic seizure and continued
during that state. His report is that
the part written in a normal and lucid
state is correct as to form and content.
while the part written in an epileptic
state is incorrect in both content and
form. The defects in the writing ap-
pear suddenly, with no transitional
phase, and affect the penmanship and
the composition. The letters have be-
come curved. the outlines have been
enlarged and the forms have been
changed. The composition is strange,
incoherent conglomeration of words and
ideas

Safe-Makers War
Ceaselessly Against
Skill of Yeggmen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. - Recent scientific
safe robberies here have called
attention to the unrelenting bat
tie being waged between safe
maker and safe-blower.
Modern methods of burglary
emphasize the progress in safe
making since 1896, when IRON
bound treasure chests began to
be abandoned and the modern
safe began to'evolve.
With each advance in safety
devices the yeggmen have devel-
oped new means of neutralizing
them, and have used engineering
and chemistry as aids.
AS soon as Safe-crackers have
solved the new obstacles to their
success, the manufacturers en-
ploy others. 1t is a ceaseless
battle.

Milton Letter

In response to requests from Mil
ton citizens the Chester valley BUS
Line re-routed the busses on Ihe
lmington-RehobOth route, IN or
der to provide daily transportation
between Milford, Milton and Harbe-
son The new arrangement provides
for the picking up of passengers at
Harbeson and Milton for Milford and
Doints above. on the up trip, while
on the down trips passengers will be
discharged at Milford, Milton and
Harbeson. However, no passengers
will be taken on between RehOboth,
Iewes for transportation to or from
Harbeson. In a communication to the
writer, Frank G. Wilson, president
and general manager of the Chester
Valley Bus Lines, Inc, said: I'VE
are especially glad to put this SER
vice into operation at this time when
it is expected to prove of great
convenience to holiday shoppers and
be beneficial to the merchants of the
new territory served. Ever since we
began the operation of the route be-
tween Rehoboth and Wilmington we
have had great expectations of pro-
gress along all lines in lower Della
ware. Once people of other sections
realize what the State has to offer
those who settle within its borders,
there will be marked increase in
population and growth in prosperity
in the lower counties" Heretofore
those from Milton wishing to use the
bus line were compelled to meet the
busses at Moore's filling station,
about two miles from Milton, on the
Milford -Rehoboth road. Interested
parties here wrote the management
asking that the route be changed to
take in Milton, and that has been
done. The busses arrive in Milton at
5:57 p. m. from Wilmington, and are
leaving Milto nat 7:1S a. m. for Will
mingtOn. A complete schedule will
be printed during the next few days
giving the time of arrival at all
points between Wilmington and Re-
hOboth. We have a copy of the
schedule at our Office now, which
can be seen by those interested. The
bus stops at the Red Bridge in Mil
ton to take on and discharge pass
engers.
The securing of this passenger
line of busses through Milton IS
big advance forward and will be a
great medium of advertisement for
the town and community. Milton is
peculiarly issolated as to transpor-
tation and for several years it was
necessary to drive to Ellendale over .
the worst roads in the county to
connect with trains for Wilmington /
and other points-a most tedious |
journey.
