EUROPE WITHIN MOTORISTS ORBIT

LIE HAVRE, France, May 7- .ne ambitious American motor4s. in his eastward progress.
 Floating garages have bridged 5000 miles of water, and thous- ands of tourists annually ferry across the Atlantic ocean, ship ping their automobiles as casual iy and as easily as they do their personal luggage.
 Each year sees an increase in the number of seagoing automo- piles arriving at French ports from the United States. Lower ing of the customs barrier and additional garage accommodations on shipboard facilitate the prac- tice. Last year the French Line alone shipped more than 1000 tourist automobiles to France and back again. This year the line expects to handle twice the num- Der of cars. It's newest liner has garage accommodation for 6U cars in the hold.
 | To transport car, under the international auto touring system one needs only the money to pay the cars passage across the ocean a sum varying from $400 to $250 depending on the type of car and the line on which it Is shipped and a triptyque, which can be ob tained from the Automobile Clut of America. With this magic ticket in his possession the motor list can step on the starter pedal and drive away as soon as the cal is off the ship.
 The examination in driving has been abolished for the benefit oi the motoring tourist, as well as lthe customs duties which former lily had to be deposited upon arri lval in France. This simplificatioI results from understandings reach ed by the Tourist Club de France and the Automobile Club of Amer llca with the French customs

INSANITY Case

One Hundred Doctors
Witness Experiment
With Gas; Not Com
plete Cure

NELSON. Wis, Oct. 27.-t1-A
treatment for insanity. imperfect yet
temporarily effective, has been DEM
onstrated by two doctors of the
University Of Wisconsin.
Two persons. considered hopeless
ly insane, were wakened from their
stupors for several minutes yester-
day by DR.. W. +. Lorenz and DR.. A,
S L~oevenhart. After inhaling gas
as prescribed. the patients .7ere
able to talk nationally. answer
questions intelligently, and move
and act normally.
One hundred doctors OF the Gen.
trail Neuropsychiatric association
witnessed the experiment. which
revealed results of 10 years of re-
search by the university physi-
clans.
A second method Of treatment,
using a drug developed by DR.. Loev-
enhart, also has been tested by the
doctors and found equally effective,
A Young woman. who had been in
a catatonic state for II months. was
reused from a stupor for nearly Is
minutes after she inhaled gas. She
sat up or a cot, told of subcon-
scious experiences and recognized
DR.. Lorenz, who previously had
treated ner as a victim Of dement's
praecox. DR.. Lorenz explained she
was afflicted by emotional apathy
and disconnected thinking.
The girls answers to questions In
dictated she had been aware of hap
penings about her since she had
been in a stuporous state.
A 1~5-year-old negro boy, the 9TH

%stration. vas a victim Of maniac
Oppressive insanity. a congenital
disease from which they said a per-
son alternately shows emotional ex-
element and depression. While
under effects Of the gas. the boy
became rational for several min
utes. His responses were similar to
the girls.
Neither treatment. by gas or by
drug. could be considered a COM
plete cure for insanity. the doctors
emphasized. Their findings, tn Z
said. were still incomplete. They
expressed hope. however. that de-
velopments might make il possible
to r~estore insane persons for long
er periods. and eventually. perhaps,
to a condition Of permanently re-
stored sanity.
