Why Women Clipped Away This Tombstone

THIS curous-looking tombstone
 pictured at right appears to
 have been desecrated by van dals. A large portion of the right side has been hacked away, as you can see, But the motive behind the mutilatiOn IS not an ordinary one.
 The stone stands in the garden of a museum at Sarajevo, Jugo-Slavia, the town where Archduke Francis Ferdin- and of Austria and his wife were asSassinated. thus starting the World War. Originally discovered at Zgosca, near Visoko, this memorial to an un- identified arlstocrat who died in the Middle Ages is considered very valuable because of its antiquity
 How came it, then, to be so signajIy damaged? The answer gives a startling instance of the strength of q super stition Credulous women come fur lively from far and near with hammers concealed on their persons. With the implements they chip off bits of the stone, take them home, pulvemze them put the powder in milk or water, and swallow the mixture They believe the nauseous dose will enable them to bear children.

This type usually lasts few days and then gradually improves. The cause may not always be merely due to ex- posture but can be brought on by pneu- monia, tuberculosis, cancer, abscess, and even grangrene of the lung.
 The more common variety of pleurisy is that in which a variable amount of fluid is formed. Catching "cold" seems particularly to dispose

Two years ago he planned to ejope with Marie Astaire, also of the screen. But Mama Cudahy blocked such lmpetuous nuptial5 by having her boy jailed in Santa Barbara on a minor offense charge till the scheme had thoroughly eVaporated.
 The prelude to his incarceration vas a party given in honor of Miss Astaire. Another guest was a youth named Bobby O'Brien, who also comes of d wealthy and prominent family.

 With Bobby O'Brien as potential best man, Mike and Marie started out to commit immediate matrimony. The clerk at the Marriage License Bureau seemed willing to listen to reason. Michael looked all of the twenty-two years he claimed, and there appeared to be no reason why such a fine, up- standing chap shouldn't win bride if he wanted one.
 But the clerk, to be sure, called up Mama Cudahy on the telephone. Mchael's arrest followed

 Even those who have deplored young Cudahy' s re current whoopee found his plight pitiablc. It was on last July 20 that California repor- ters. looking for news, discovered that the boy was a patient at lne Hollywood Hospital.
 For five days he had been under the care of three physicians. The muscles of his legs were rigid as if in death, and while official confirma- ton was missing, it was freely hinted that the use of his arms and voice was also impaired.
 It took eleven days 70 effect a complete cure. At the expiration of that period, he was removed to his home, where his devoted mother, Ms. Edna Cudahy, admitted the original source of the trou ble, In explain ing this, she had some pretty hard things 10 say about hard drink of the bootleg variety.

 The diversion of public attention to young Cudahy's gin-and- jane woes has served to focus interest on his family background. He is the grandson of old Michael Cudahy, who made mil lions in the meat-packing business. Old Michael son, Jack, whose widow Mrs. Edna Cudahy is, was the central figure in an extraordinary Kansas City scandal years ago.

HOOVER POLICY
On OIL FOUGHT

A new attack upon President
Hoover's oil conservation policy
was made in the courts here yes
terday.
Lewis Fl. Hoffman, Washington
lawyer, applied for a writ of man
damus compelling Secretary of the
Interior Wilbur to issue a pros
pecting permit to Richard D. We'd
der, of Los Angeles, on an appli-
cation filed after March IL, when
the policy became effective.
Applications for similar writs to
compel issuance of permits to
George c. Rutherford, of Taft,
Calf, and to Ethel M. McLennan,
of McKttrick, Calf, on applica-
tions filed before March IL, al
ready have been made by Hoff-
man.
The Presidents policy is an usur-
patton Of the powers of Congress
and a notification of the leasing
act itself, it is contended.
The cases will be carried to the
Supreme Court, if favorable rul-
ings are not obtained in the lower
courts, it was announced.

FAIR RISE HOPE
BOOSTS STOCK
Of TRACTION

Fifteen point rise In the value
OF Capital Traction Company
stock since the first Of the year
has been heralded by some finan.
cial observers as indication of
feeling that Justice Alfred A.
Wheat will grant the company's
petition for a temporary 1O-cent
fare while merger negotiations
are pending.
Further optimism for affairs
OF the company was seen yester-
day in the report filed with the
Public Utilities Commission in
dicating that net income for De
cember showed an increase of
$9,9O0.95 over the same month
in 1928.
Though operating revenues de
creased $l,422.38 in the period,
lower taxes and more economical
operation accounted for the
higher income.
Justice Wheat today is sched-
uled to hear arguments on the
company's petition for the higher
fare. Though Corporation Coun-
sci Bride has pointed out a Dis
trict Court of Appeals decision
holding that the company cannot
appeal TO the courts until rene
dies before the Public Utilities
Commission are exhausted, this
ruling has been reversed by the
United States Supreme Court.
Value of the traction company
stock has risen from 74-75 the first
Of the year to figures ranging
from 81 to 81 during the last
week. simultaneously the quota
tionS on Washington Railway and
Electric Company stock have
risen from ATS to 500.
Operating expenses and taxes In
December totaled $283,3l4.39, com.
pared with 1921 ,027.43 in the same
month in the previous year, or a
saving of $7,713.30. The company
reported a incorporating income
of $5,394.l8, in comparison with
$5,195.92 in the previous Decem.
ber, an increase of $198.26.
Gross revenues in December
1929, amounted to 500, ,168.4O, com.
pared with $89,834.72 the year be.
fore, or a gain of $9,333.68. The
usual deductions from gross took
the sum Of $31, ,928.23. against $32,.
495 so in December, 1928, a saving
of $567.27. This left a total net
income for the month Of $67,.
240.17, compared with $57,339.22
in December, 1923.
The number Of revenue pas
sengers carried during the month
revealed a slight gain, the total
fares collected being 5,003,293
against 5,003,209 in December,
1928, a difference of lust 81.
