CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-One year
ago Thursday pretty Patricia Nc
CURE of Oak Park suffered the
f1rst symptoms of a strange illness
that dragged her a few weeks later
into sound sleep from which she
never has awakened
Pat the 27-year- old secretary,
who has become known through
out the country as Oak Park
sleeping beauty" fell asleep that
night on an elevated train. At
the end of the line the conductor
awakened her. She walked back a
few blocks to her suburban home.
Several days later her mother
Mrs. Peter Miley,. noticed that
Pat" seemed drowsy, and that one
Of her eyelids dropped
At the office where she worked
Miss Mcclure seemed Hstless.
Her employer was mystified, be-
cause she mad been a model secre-
tary.' Miss Mcclure complained
Of seeing double She thought
something was wrong with her eyes
Found Mysterious Organism
She felt so i'll on Feb. u she went
home, but returned the next day
On Feb. IS, as she was getting
ready to attend church, she went
sound asleep.
m. EruOoY,o Il tT,.o,,+ foY,oi1t, r,ov-
sician, treated her, diagnosing the
illness as sleeping sickness. Two
nurses were hired. The mother and
a sister, Mrs. Gladys Hanson, re-
NAMED with her night and day.
Months passed. Miss Mcclure
still slept. Traut found a myster-
ious organism in her blood, and
announced he had isolated the germ
of sleeping sickness.
The discovery turned the spot
light Of publicity on the case. Let
tiers began arriving at the Miley
home. Hundreds were from per-
sons suggesting odd cures. Spe-
cialists wrote suggesting that one
thing or another be tried. Many
of these cures actually we're tried.
None cured.

Mrs. Miley has kept several large,
baskets full of the letters for Pat to
read when she wakes up" She
also keeps notes Of important world
events, such as the Lindbergh kid
naping, and the last election-thingS
Pat" hasn't heard about yet.
I'VE live on hope" she explained.
Several times, Miss Mcclure has
shown faint signs of reviving. She
seems to know when objects are
passed before her face, sometimes
opens her eyes and seems to stare
at an object for several minutes.
But she never actually aWakens,
never speaks, never recognizes any
one.
Before the Illness Miss Mcclure
weighed 100 pounds. She has gained
to about $50. .
Her complexion became even love-
lier than it had been. Her beauty
became more striking. DR.. Traut
attributes this to the perfect care
and diet furnished by the mother
and sister.

Minnesota Sugar For

As step toward restoring farm pros

association has begun campaign to

sugar from sugar beets.
Dana w. DuToit, president Of the
association, in a letter recently issued,
calls attention to the fact that the
present form of contract made by the
sugar manufacturers with sugar beet
growers fixes the returns to growers on
the net received by the manufacturers,
and says that ION sugar sold in Mime
sofa the manufacturers net return Is
considerably larger" than on sugar sold
elsewhere, and, therefore, every sack Of
Minnesota sugar sold in the state adds
to the income of the farmer grower
and keeps labor employed in factory and
field.
Governor Floyd B. Olson, in backing
up the campaign, has issued statement
to the effect that during the last year
Minnesota farmers received for their
sugar beetS $2,50O,000; labor In the in
dllstry, $1,OOO,O0O; the railroads, 81 ,310,-
600; limestone quarries, $4,000; bag
manufacturers, $175,O0O, and state and
local communities in taxes, $4,000. He
adds that analysis has shown that

SIDELINE COMMENT
BY "Sham"

Winning the state title in dives a
week ago and the Northwestern Inter-
scholastic title Saturday, Leonard Klun,
local high school diver, stamped himself
as one of the foremost divers ever de-
veloped In these parts and compares
quite favorably with the best Of high
school divers in the country. 1t is the
opinion of coaches and judges, who have
seen Klun perform this year, that the
Ely boy has a fine chance to come
through and win the National Inter
scholastic diving championship at Chi
cago next week. At this writing there
is some doubt as to whether or not
Kun will be entered In the National
event.
George Sutherland, was the only Ely
boy, besides Klun, to place in the
Northwest swim meet Saturday. Com
peting in a strong field of the North
VESTS best backstrokers, George came
in third In the 100-yard backstroke.
With most of the range and Duluth
sports writer's conceding Chisholm high
schools basketball team the regional
title, this writer takes a stand to the
contrary Admitted-that Chisholm has
a very fine team-but not invincible, as
was shown last week when they lost
to Coleraine. We like the talent in our
own district which has shown plenty of
class all season. The winner Of this
district championship will be able to
offer plenty of competition to any team
in the regional tourney and ought to
have an even chance of winning it.
Two Harbors, the favorite in the 26th
district, doesn't look like anybodys
"push-over" in case it should enter the
regional. Regardless Of who wins the
regional, Chisholm has no "cinch" on
coping it, but the other teams viii
know that Chisholm was there.
"Patta" Tomsich, forward on the local
Jaysee basketball team, was picked on
the coaches All-Conference team.
Tomsich was the "Spark-plug" OF the

of the hardest working players 1t has
