THE CLOCKS FAMILY By Mary Graham Bonner

T couldn't resist having you meet some of my family who are about i to take a journey" the Little Black Clock said
 John and Peggy couldn't imag- inc what the Little Black Clock was going to do.
 He led them to railway station, and there they saw a flat car ready to be attached to the regular train
 Some of my family are travel ing in that flat car,' the Little Black Clock said, and then they're going to be fixed up into gorgeous big clock in another city. They wouldn't be comfortable in an ordinary box car, and they wouldn't fit into it very well, so they've had this car made specially for them. Isn't that a great hon. or?
 "Oh, really you'll forgive me if I chatter a little! I'm so proud of my family There are so many of us
 
 We are an enormous family, and we are made in all sorts of differ ent ways.
 Some of the family go outside of huge buildings, some in big halls, some have wonderful faces made for them, and others have gorgeous chimes and bells.
 "Oh, there are so many clock styles and so many clock ways, and you must admit that we're one of the largest families in the world
 My dears, you can't go any where, hardly, where there isn't some member of the family to be found.
 And we really keep it very good health. Of course sometimes we have to have doctors-and the clocks that live an outdoor life have to be looked after"
 How do they have to be looked after?" asked John.
 That's all I want! A question! I'll answer it with pleasure" the Little Black Clock said delightedly. So they sat down by the flat car which was to take a clock on a journey and waited for the Little Black Clock to continue.

NEW YORK, July 1o.-George
Mosher, Is, through whose veins
surged the transfused blood of ten
persons, is dead from a malady that
passed the understanding Of medical
men.
The boy, whose freckles had be-
come lost in the parchment yellow
of his skin, died late Tuesday as his
father. three sisters and famed
specialists stood by his cot help
lesSly.
Life might have been prolonged,
doctors said, by pumping more alien
blood into Georges arteries, but ul-
timately he would have died-a VIC
tim of some unknown germ that
raced in his blood stream and
gnawed the vitality from red cor
puscles.
Physicians once thought the germ
might have been that Of kala-azar,
the black fever that scourges the
Orient.
Later there was a tendency to
abandon that diagnosis, but it mat
tered little, for George was marked
for death because there is no
known cure for kala- -azar.

blood diseases. said the boy lived
as long as he did only because

Yancey and Williams Go
on Toward Goal After
Getting Fuel.
PLANE IN GOOD SHAPE
Only One Ship Sighted by
AVlators in Flight
Across Atlantic.
BY JULIUS VALIN


SANTANDER, Spain, July 10.
The American transatlantic f1iers,
Roger @. Williams and Lewis A.
Yancey, flew with their monoplane
Pathfinder from here for Rome this
morning.
They had been forced down near
here late Tuesday with their fuel
running short and thus cheated of
what they had hoped would be a
nonstop flight from Old Orchard
Me, to Rome, Italy. Favorable
weather was predicted for the 1000
mile hope to Rome.
Williams and Yancey found their
plane in fit condition, and decided
after refueling with $50 gallons OF
gasoline today to push on to Rome.
Yancey, before departing, told the
United Press that they saw prac-
tically nothing on their flight from
Maine to Spain, excepting the lights
of a ship at 3 a. M, Tuesday.
Yancey said Williams was asleep at
the time.
81 made a fast dive toward the
ship, so much so that it awakened
Williams, who cried for Gods sake
don't do that again I told him I
did it because 1 was anxious for the
world to know we were flying, since
there was no other way for our
communicating the fact.
Evidently the ship did not see
US. We saw nothing else in the way
of ships, or anything until we
reached here.
The fiiers, who had left Old Or
chard Monday morning. had been
in the air a little more than thirty
one hours when they landed here.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10
Prosecution under Chinese laws that
provide the death penalty for mar
cotic smuggling, was the possibility
faced today by Mrs. Ying Kao, wife
of the Chinese vice-consul here,
who is under suspicion of smuggling
nearly $1,000, 900 worth of opium and
laces into this country.
The executive committee of Kuo
Ming Tang, semi official organiza-
ton of the Chinese government. has
voted favorably on returning Mrs.
Yin Kao to China to stand trial
A statement of known facts in the
case was sent to Chinese minister
at Washington. and the desire ex-
pressed that Mrs. Ying be returned
to China and tried for violation of
laws of the United States and the
Chinese government.
The local Chinatown, largest in
the United States, has been much
concerned with the revelation that
Mrs. Ying was associated with an
attempt to smuggle opium and un-
declared articles.
The woman herself has insisted
that friends in China asked her to
bring certain gifts into the country
for friends and that she obliged
them.

LONDON, July 1o.-The British
submarine L-69, sister ship of the
LIZ, which Tuesday sent the Brit
ish submarine HAT to the bottom of
the Irish sea with a crew aboard,
dived continuously today in noun
famous seas attempting to COM

A bell was used with the Morse

The preliminary report Of Rear

Instead, Orville is in bed with a

TOY GUN WOUND
TO COST LIFE OF
11-YEAR-OLD BOY
Physicians Say LoCkjaW
viii Result in Death
of Victim.

A little boys reluctance to tell
his mother that he had burned him
self with his cap pistol two days
before the Fourth of July will cost
him his life, city hospital doctors
who had fought for hours to save
him sorrowfully admitted today.
At the same time physicians took
steps to save the mother from the
same dreadful malady, lockjaw, with
which she may have been infected
because of her mother love for the
suffering little boy.
The lad is Harold Coble, II, son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Coble, 325
North Bright street.
Didn't Tell Parents
He did not tell his parents about
a cap exploding as he was loading
his pistol July 2. In fact the burn
appeared to be so slight it caused
him no trouble. The parents knew
nothing of it until Tuesday after
noon, when Harold showed his
mother the angry red spot in the
palm of his left hand, and crying
with pain, said:
My hands sore, mother"
His mother asked him what he
had done to it and he replied;
Il scratched in on a wire" Q
The mother administered germi-
eide and Harold went back to play.
Later he came in with high fever.
by evening his jaws had locked.
While a doctor was on the way the
frantic mother tried to pry his jaws
apart with her fingers. She scratched
one finger. 1t started swelling and
measures to prevent tetanus we're
taken.
Battle Death at Hospital
The boy was taken to city hos
pital at this morning. Physicians
and nurses started battling with all
the weapons modern medical SCI
ence have provided. They admin
istered anti-tetanus serum, but be-
lieved they we're TOO late because
the "wad" of powder which caused
all the trouble had worked three
fourths of an inch below the skin
and the lads body was permeated
with the dread poison.
The latest means of combating
tetanus, sodium anatyl, the now
world-famouS new anesthetic de-
veloped by Indianapolis doctors, was
injected and relieved the boys con-
vulsions but can not save his life,
according to the physicians.
Eight brothers and sisters of Har-
old, ranging from l to 18 years of
age, tearfully awaited news from the
hospital.

themselves over who might have the
