PURDUE CONDUCTS •EXTENSIVE TEST FOR RAILROADS Car Draft Gears Subjected to Experiments—Spend $65,000. Bu United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 14. A 27,000-pound weight dropped on them as often as five times a minute is the rigorous test to which railway car draft gears are being submitted in a series of experiments here. .The tests will be conducted by the Purdue University laboratories for the American Railway Association. Draft gears, the mechanism of which serves as a shock absorber and lessens the force of the impact when cars are being coupled together, must give better performance if they are to keep pace with other railway developments, rail officials say. For this reason, the tests are to include all models put out by the fourteen draft gear companies in America and will be the most Comprehensive ever undertaken. Railway companies have figured pay $50,000,000 a year to shippers in the way of freight claims wnd three times this amount in repair of their own rolling stock. It is to reduce this huge loss that draft gear tests are being undertaken as the rail men feel that better draft gears will be important factors in solving this problem. To provide for these tests the railway organization has erected a special building on the Purdue campus at a cost of $25,000 and placed in it a machine costing $40,000 to carry on the work. W. E. Gray, instructor in engineering, has been relieved of his class duties and assigned to take charge of the testing work. Snow for use in motion pictures has been made successfully from pine shavings.

"I had a great many health troubles,” said Mrs. Curbeaux. ‘‘This catarrh had the air passages in my bead almost cloSed up. I had to take short, jerky breaths. There was a constant ringing and roaring in both ears "and it affected my hearing. I was never without headache, and very often had dizzy spells. My chest and throat was clogged up, and besides this catarrh, I had a gvery sick, unhealthy stomach. Ev*ery bite of food I ate would not digest properly, but would turn sour and ferment. I would become nauseated every morning and have sick headaches. I lost weight until I went down from 147 to 120 pounds, and I was told that I didn’t have long to live. In fact, I was informed that I had T. B. and everybody said I looked it. “That was exactly my condition a little over 6 months ago, but Konjola has made such a great change all over my system and I look so different that everybody remarks about my appearance. I took about S bottles of Konjola, and have gained over 30 pounds since my catarrh and stomach trouble is! gone. Os course, I am eatig a great deal more end my food agrees with me. I never have the spells of n’ausea and sick headaches. I get nourishment from everything I eat, and all the miseries I had with my stomach are gone entirely. ‘‘But I am more thankful than ever for the way Koujdla has ended the catarrhal trouble. My breathing is normal now and I never have the choked up feeling in my chest. This is the first time in four years jj have been able to breathe right. T never have the dizzy spells or headaches and the buzzing, roaring sounds in my ears has gone. I can hear better and seem to be getting stronger and Hveigh a little more each week. I don’t take any medicine, since I used the 8 bottles of Konjola, and (want to say that I will never stop raising his new remedy.” ■ The Konjola Man is a Hook's Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy.

The Tinymites then left Boy Blue, since he had Nothing more to do. His sheep and cows were safe and sound, so he went back to sleep. Before he closed his eyes he said, “Just take that roadway straight ahead, and when you reach the end of it, just climb the hillside steep.” “What will we find when we get there?” asked Clowny. Then he showed despair, ’cause wee Boy Blue had closed his eyes and gone to slumberland. “Oh, well,” he added, after while, “I guess that’s just Boy Blue’s queer style, but how he sleeps so very sound, I cannot understand." “Oh, what do we care,” Coppy said. “He’s tirfed of us, let’s go ahead and climb the hill he told us to. Perhaps a thrill’s In store. There still are folks we have not met in this queer land, and say, I’ll bet that someone lives atop that hill. That’s what he told us for.” So, off they went, a happy crowd, and feeling really rather proud to think that they could travel ’round to any place they liked. Though tired, they simply didn’t mind as long as there were things to find. Nobody stopped to figure up how many miles they’d hiked. The hill was very long and steep and Clowny found it hard to keep up with the res£ ’cause he would stop to catch a breath or two. But, in about an hour or less, they reached the end of their distress, and perched upon the hilltop, all a-won-derlng what to do. “Oh, look,” said Scouty, “bet I know who that fair girl is, with the hoe. It’s Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, in her garden patch.” Then Mary motioned to the band and shouted, “Come and lend a hand, and

Love Affair Linked With Prison Break Bu United Press CHICAGO, March 14.—A live affair between a pretty aenorita and a prisoner, condemned to die, coupled with an alleged $1,500 bribe, occupied attention of authorities of two counties today in an attempt to solve the escape of three prisoners from the Will County jail at Joliet Saturday. Two of the prisoners were captured, while a third, Bernardo Roa, is still at liberty. A series of notes, a half-hearted confession and vague rumors have resulted in a series of arrests in connection with the escape. The majority of the notes were those written by Roa—highly educated Mexican—to pretty Juanita Gallardo, his sweetheart. In these notes Bernardo told of escape plans and besought the girl to purchase £aws and slip them into the Will County jail. The girl denies having obtained the saws. A superstition once existed in East Anglia that the path a funeral cortege had taken remained unlucky. This was founded on a belief that the devil always followed funerals In the hope of adding to the population of the infernal regions.

Bu United Press NEW YORK. Maj-ch 14.—Alexander Kerensky, president of the provisional government of Russia, which was sandwiched between the downfall of the Czars and the establishment of the Soviet was heckled by Monarchists and Communists and slapped i* the face with a glove by a young Czarist woman, when 5,000 persons Jammed their way into the Century theater to hear his story of the revolution. The woman, Catherine Bary, 34, a designer, was the fiance of a Czarist officer who was killed after Kerensky put civilians in charge of the Russian army. For ten years she has blamed the revolutonist for ending her romance, and avenged her officer to her own satisfaction, by cutting Kerensky thrice across the face with her glove. At his request she was not arrested by police who escorted her from the theater. Twenty-five hecklers, Monarchists and Bolsheyists alike, were put out of the theater when they became unruly and the lecture was interrupted alternately by angry cries of Monarchists in orchestra seats and displeased groans of Communists in the gallery and delighted cheers of Kerensky supporters all over the theater. Kerensky denounced the Monarchists and the Communists. He predicted downfall of the Soviet regime, saying, "we are ready for another revolution.”
