was stu in the institution uncon-
scious.
College student, was struck by q

sIxuu was fractured and an opera
tion war performed Immediately
afterward, during which bone par
ticles nressin, against the brain were
removed by DIR. Claude Beck, noted
Cleveland surgeon.
Miss Buschmann failed to regain
consciousness and physicians have
become more and more puzzled by
the strange case. superintendent

ice today that it would take a long,
long time before we will know
whether the patient will be able to
regain her normal consciousness.
Mature is a great healer, but q
very slow one" DIR. Marsh declared
in an interview.
miss Buschmann shows more Inn
provement than she did a month or
80 ago, and she is certainly more &C.
tive than she has been since her in.
jury, We've had her sitting up, and
once or twice she has stood up for
two or three seconds. She was able
to stand alone, but had to be
watched. for she soon lost her equi-
librium and would have fallen IL
nurses had not aided her.
1.-THE impression one gets by
watching Miss Buschmann's move
rnents," continued DIR. Marsh, lis
that she reazes her surroundings
in a vague way. She uses her
hands quite a good deal, opens her
eyes like any ordinary person, and
looks around, yet l do not think
she can see, for the optic nerve, l
believe, is still affected.
Brain Cells Bruised
Further questioning Of DR.. Marsh
brought a statement to the effect
that the girls brain cells, which
were bruised when her skull was
fractured, are slowly healing.
1--WE must have patience and hope
for the best" the physician said.
He emphasized the fact that Miss
Buschmann is in the best of health
physically and Is not losing in
weight. Her pulse, respiration and
temperature are normal and when
she is in a normal sleep stranger
could not realize that she has been
practically dead to the world mote
than four months" DR. Marsh con.
cluded.
Mrs. Emma Buschmann, the un-
conscious girls mother, Is in
gainesville and spends as much
time as possible at her daughters
bedside. She has made her home
here with friends.

Birthday Fete
So much for the baseball
game, bringing to a spectacular
close the official season of
the Congressional Club, which
always adjourns with Congress.
And now for its birthday party
last night.
Representative Florence 2.
Kahn, one of the incorporators
of the club 20 years ago and
still member in good and regu-
lar standing, was the honor
guest and told in an amusing
way the story of the clubs
birth.
Secrets Revealed
She revealed that women had
had influence in Congress even
before the days Of suffrage. The
newborn organization had de-
fernnined to incorporate under the,
laws Of the District of Columbia,
which invO1ved-and still Involves
Ian act of Congress. The bill had
passed the House, but in the
Senate an amendment WIS moved
by Senator - in order that
his wife,s name might be in.
cluded as an incorporation. This
made It necessary TO send the
amended bill back to the House.
There Il ran afoul of a tilibuster,
and the late Senator John Sharp
Williams, then House leader, abso-
1f1tely refused to call a halt in
the proceedings to let the Con-
gressionaI Club bill through. The
ladies' were at their wits end.
Finally, however, Mrs. John
Sharp williams invited her hls-
band to have luncheon with her
and while he was in the House
dining room, the filibuster was
halted with the connivance of
Champ Clark. who was holding
the floor for his colleague, and
the amended measure was passed.
Mrs. Kahn dwest long on the
troubles of Congressional women
ii the days before there was
Congressional club. Having no
common meeting ground, she said
they made neither friends ncr &C.
quaintances, they only made calls.
This situation was discussed from
time to time among the women in
official life, but it was man.
Frank .. Lowden, Of Illinois. then
in Congress. who suggested a
solution in the formation Of a
club where the women in off
ciaI life might come together in
fellowship. Al few days later Mrs.
James Breck Perkins, OF New
York, invited a few of the Con-
gressional women to meet at her
house and out Of this meeting,
which Mrs. Kahn attended. the
Congressional Club was born.

sells of King Charles l and settled with
his family in Ipswich, Mass. The naval

Glimpse of 1912 Life.

A letter from the veteran of the War
of 1912 to his brother Frank gives a
glimpse of life on shipboard in those
days. He wrote: II once occupied
similar station during the last war as
the confidential clerk or secretary to
the late Commodore Rodgers. My
duties we're very light, occupying, as you
say, about one hour daily. But it was
as necessary for me to be constantly at
my post as any other person on board
of the ship. When at sea I had only
to keep his private lok book and
go to my quarters in time of action.

MORE than 10000 Americans died last year
from diseases that started as common colds.
Much of this great loss of life-and the untold
sufferings of thousands besides - might have
been done away with if these people had
only treated their colds properly at the out
set, or better still, if they had taken proper
precautionary measures.
Vapex gives instant relief, is easy and pleas
ant to use and is scientifically sound in prin-
ciple. 1t can be used without discomfort
any time, any place. Merely through careless
ness and neglect many of us do not heed
colds first warning. That is the time for
Vapex. 1t arrests a COLDS progress, and may
save days or months of serious suffering.
One drop of Vapex ON your handkerchief
will hold its strength for whole day. Inhale
the vapor frequently--relief is immediate
Congestion breaks up. 1t reaches even the
innermost passages of the throat and nose. AS
preventive, Vapex keeps the head clear, pre-
vents infection and is decidedly refreshing.
Evening star., 1928-12-05

Vapex was discovered by chance during the
war. While the disastrous influenza epidemic
was raging in England, government workers in
one of the great Kerfoot laboratories we're
immune to this and kindred diseases. The
materials with which they had been working
were tested under the supervision of physicians
and government officials. 1t discovered
that the Uapor from, this material killed cold
germs. Vapex-the new discovery-was put
on sale throughout England and met with
immediate and widespread success.
