That fright- ening ducking she’'d got in the ocean— and the heavy cold which had clung. .. . She thought then—the cold—the shock— She found she was walking the room, while the untasted tea cooled on the table. Well—suppose—suppose—— After all, it was natural.

The Hungarian holm, which also served for Denmark and Norway, is to be closed this month and the legation in Bern has been ordered shut. Only the consulate of- fices will remain in the Scandinavian countries, while in Switzerland the ac- credited Hungarian Minister to Geneva and the League of Nations will also hereafter serve for all Switzerland as well. legation in Stock-| ROBOT “PENMAN” QUICKLY FINDS | TINIEST ERRORS OF SCIENTISTS New By the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, January 29—Another | robot, this time the photo-electric “Pen- | | man,” was described to the annual| meeting of the American Institute of | Electrical Engineers here. | | “T'his new automaton is a brother of | the now well established “Electric Eye.” | It was devised to keep pace with the almost lightning fast speed of the “eye.” which hitherto has been able to “see” things faster than engineering devices could record them all.
