(By International News Service) Denver, May 18.—Believed at first to be a victim of “sleeping sickness,” Mrs. Kate Hermann, thirty-five, of Hays, Kan., is declared by diagnosti- cians to be in a state of catalepsy re- sulting from ‘‘dementia,praecox’ and - T. C. Thompson, who has been 1iv-| _gng or two tablets—eat like candy. See Rube when you want a good job - Mr. Ness and family have bought I food souring, repeating, headach the Charles Green place of ‘forty acres D s ohnd the many miseries caused by has been in a rigid condition for many weeks, lying on her back, hands crossed over the abdomen, muscles taut, mouth closed and teeth clench- ed. 4 Mrs. Herman has been asleep for more than two months. During a pe- riod of eight weeks her eyés open- ed but three times, and she changed her posture only once. Milk fed through her nasal passage, is the only food that has been administered during that time. After physicians in Hays had been unable to determine her ailment, Mrs. Hermann was brought to Denver, where a dozen specialists had her under observation. Dr. Erward Delebanty, widely- known Denver neurologist and alien- ist, after watching the patient many days, announced that the woman was suffering from ‘‘dementia praecox”. “In my opinion,” Dr. Delehanty de- clared, ‘“Mrs. Hermann {s suffering from a form of insanity known as “dementia praecox’* and has an ex- traordinary manifestation in'the cat- aleptic, state into which ge has thrown herself. v “In other words, Mrs. Herman is a victim of auto-hypnosis. She has hyp- pnotised herself into the belief that she cannot move a muscle and that she cannot open her eyes. As long as her mentality preserves this extraord- inary status she will remain rigid and will refuse to eat, open her eyes or recognize her surroundings. Dr. Delehanty says there are cases similar to Mrs. Hermann’s in medical annals, but the conditions are rare. “The cataleptic state into which Mrs. Hermann has hypotnised herself is also a form of histeria,” Dr. Dele- hanty said. *r'his is responsible for numerous cases of apparent disability both mental and physical. “‘Mrs. Hermann is not rigid because of any rigid disability, but simply because her mind has directed the rigity and simulation of uncon- sciousness. She is acting, but acting in good faith.” : Dr. Delehanty claims that thous- ands of victims of shell shock in the war were suffering from temporary imaginative derangement. “And that is the case with Mrs, Hermann,” Dr. Delehanty concluded. “‘Something occurred to cause the break in her mentality.’ She is in the same cataleptic condition that a pro- fessional hypotnist can produce in a snbject by the power of suggestion. Mrs. Hermann's brain has suggested that she cannot move a muscle: hence she remans rigid. Dr. Delehanty thinks Mrs. Her- mann may emerge from her condition, hit says that she will not be well. “It may be that she will never be entirely cured,” he said, ‘“but this particnlar manifectations of her men- tal derangement will exhaust itself*. Tt is said that Mrs. Hermann's malady only slightly resembles “sleeping sickness.” though it was at first thought she was a victim of that disease. Dr. Delehanty asserts that her physical health remains normal, despite the fact that she is fed only milk, this diet beine considered ample in view of the patients total immo- bility. —_— PLAN DIRIGIBLE SERVICE FOR AKRON AND DETROIT (By International News Service) Akron, Ohio, May 18.—Daily round, trip between Detroit and Akron are to be made by a huge dirigible beginning next fall. This mammoth airship is to carry mail, express, freight and passen- gers. The trip to Detroit, a dis- tance of 150 miles by airline, is to be made in three hours. The ‘dirigible is a French ship of the Chalais-Maudon type and was purchased from the , United States government by a local tire and rub- ber company. The big air ship is twice as large as any dirigible ever agsembled here. Its capacity is 320,000 cubic feet and it is 260 feet long; an enclosed cabin is 45 feet long, and while built to carry from 30 to 35 persons, only 20 persons will be carried on long trips. Twin motors, each 250 horsepower, will permit the ship to make 55 miles an hour. Four men comprise the screw. X British Official Reports Indi- cate Plentiful Meat Supply But Sugar Shoftage (By International News Service) London, May 18.—The world’s shortage of vital supplies may be chiefly summarized from British of- ficial reports as follows: Wheat—No difficulties are expect- ed by England in obtaining sufficient supplies, because the competition for world’s supplies will depend upon the purchasing power of European coun- tries, most of whom are forced to re- strict purchases far below normaj needs owing to lack of credits. For instance, Italy has cut down cereal imports to half those of last year. Britain has the strongest purchas- ing power in Europe, and it is de- preciated by 20 per cent. Meat—A glut rather than a short- age of imported meat is expected for England, who, because of her finan- cial. position, will be the buyer for most of Europe. ‘Wool—No scarcity is expected ex- and are living on the same.

Austra-j lian and New Zealand clips up to the middle of 1920 have been bought by the British government, and ne- gotiations are proceeding for later supplies. Paper.—There is a heavy ‘paper pulp shortage in Norway, Sweden and Canada, the principal producing countries today. This is due to rap- id development and - enlargement of newspapers since the armistice and the great demand for Canadian pulp in the United States. British papers will soon be forced to reduce their size. Ninety per cent of them al- ready are less than half the size of American newspapers. Coal—Production both in England and Continental Europe is under pre- war amounts, but there is no question of a serious shortage in England, where exports are controlled and can be limited still further. But the price is mounting owing to continual wage demands. B 0Oil Supplies are becoming scaree owing to the fact that the war gave great impetus to the motor indus- try in England. The expected ex- haustion of American’ wells, while affecting Great Britain seriously to- day, is likely to spur development of British oil interests throughout the world, especially in the Russian Baku, Persian, Mesopotamian and Indian fields Power alcohol will be distilled. Sugar—Great difficulties are ex- peacted, owing to non-recovery of pro- duction in ‘Central Europe and the uncertainty as to the extent of cane crops this year. & Judge’s Sons Adopt * “Moonshine” Methods San Rafael, Cal.—Little pitch- ers have big ears, as is well known. And Justice of the Peace H. de la Montanya knows that his sons, Lloyd and Herbert, 14 and 12 years old, are such good listeners that they almost learn- ed enough the other night to kill them, 5 ‘The judge and his wife and sons were at the home of & neighbor not long ago and the nelghbor explained all sbout dis- tilling ‘whisky. = Several nights later the judge and his wife re- turned from a picture show to discover a strange odor coming from their kitchen. . They found their, sons lyin; Semi-conscious on the floor and a sickening odor filling the room. On the stove was a tea kettle with a rubber hose attached. In the kettle was a concoction .of corn and molasses. The boys were ‘trying te make “moon- shine.” Dr. R. G.
