MIRACLE GIRL CAN NOW HEAR AND SEE Scientists Are Astounded by Case of Willeta Huggins. Janesville, WIs.—Willeta Huggins, the deaf and blind girl who could read a newspaper by touch and distinguish colors by smell, has been cured. Her hearing In one ear is 95 per cent nor mal and In the other ear 40 per cent normal, and her power of seeing Is 50 per cent normal. Willeta is eighteen years old. “Faith Cured Me." “Faith In God cured me. nothing else,” explained the young girl when a number of noted physicians called at her home, near Janesville, WIs., to permit the girl to prove her cure and also to prove that she retains the won derful powers of touch and smell. The physicians, after a careful examina tion, announced that she Is virtually cured. Miss Huggins has been partly blind and deaf since she was born. At times her condition would improve, and then soon it would decline until she was al most totally blind and deaf. Now, however, her senses of hearing and smelling seem to be growing stronger steadily. Miss Huggins was called a faker by many medical men and scientists when she first declared that she could read with her finger tips and see with her nose. To prove that she had not lied, the girl underwent some of the most rigid examinations science could ar* range. Given a necktie In which the colors were so blended that they would con fuse a person with normal sight, the girl named the colors without hesita tion and without a mistake. A heavy blindfold was fastened over her eyes during the test. "Read" Newspaper. By passing her fingers over the pages she read a newspaper without a single mistake. A single hair was placed under five sheets of fairly heavy paper. Miss Huggins passed her fingers over the paper and pointed out the exact location of the hair. The remarkable cure of the young woman has caused physicians who made no comments on her powers of touch and sinell to come to her sup port. They have declared that the scientists who called the girl a faker formed a snap Judgment. They are sure that Willeta is cured. Historical Ring Is Found on U. S. Isle New Haven, Conn.—An oddly-shaped gold ring, thought to have been owued by British royalty and tallying In de tail with one which disappeared from the English court in 1610, was found by Charles Burns, hoseman of the lo cal fire department, In the sand neat Thimble Islands In Long Island sound, off the Connecticut shore. Thimble islands are noted as hav ing been a rendezvous of the famous Captain Kidd, and It is believed the ring was a part of the pirate's loot. The ring Is composed of four bands. Joined by clasped hands. The nearest resemblance to It, delvers into history find, was worn by Lady Catherine Grey, and signified her marriage with the earl of Hertford. Queen Elizabeth, displeased with the union, sent Hertford to the towei of London and subjected Lady Cath erlne to many hardships until the va Udlty of the marriage was proved The marriage was dissolved later by a commission In 1562. “Adlay” Advocated as Substitute for Wheat Manila.—The production of floui out of a grain known aa “adlay." a* n substitute for wheat flour In tb« tropics, Is recommended by otfldals o1 the Department of Agriculture.

GERMANS ASK PRICE FOR DISEASE CURE Want Colonies Back for Sleep Sickness Remedy. Bremen.—Unconditional restoration of Germany's colonies and prewar rights Is the price demanded by the German Colonial society for a new remedy for the prevention of sleeping sickness. The society expresses the belief that Germany In the remedy hus a powerful political weapon In hand which places her In a position to force revocation of the colonial man dates executed under the Versailles treaty. “Germany holds the key to central Africa In the remedy,” says Doctor Zache, well known as a colonial ex pert. He expresses the belief that the remedy for sleeping sickness and tsetse fever is destined to convert central Africa Into a prosperous, fer tile country, inhabited by an industri ous people. “No colonies, no remedy," Is the nltlmatum of Edouard Achells, chair man of the Bremen section of the German Colonial society. He suspects that this stand may provoke the charge of Inhumanity, but he reminda his critics of the allied “hunger block ade." German colonial enthusiasts have demanded that the German govern ment Immediately protect the remedy against undue exploitation by the en tente powers. Says North Pole Has Nice Summer Climate Seattle, Wash.—The airship Shen andoah, od the United States navy’s expedition to the North |s>le next sum mer, will not Snd temperatures aa low as those of this winter on the Atlantic seaboard. This Is the belief of M. B. Summers, weather observer here, who established the government meteoro logical station at Point Barrow, whero Alaska juts farthest north Into the Arctic ocean. Mr. Summers said that the coldest June day recorded at Point Barrow, which Is 1,117 miles from the pole, was 12 degrees above zero and the coldest! July day 26 above. The range last i June was from 23 degrees above to 56 above. The Shenandoah is more likely to i encounter ruin than snow. In ths opinion of Mr. Summers. "Toward the pole. It will naturally be colder than at Barrow," he said; “considerably so. If there is no large body of land between Alaska and the pole. If there Is an Arctic continent j or a large island, radiation from the sun's rays will make It warmer and more nearly the temperature of Bar row. But, In ar rent, 1 do not be lieve there will . zero temperatures at the pole In July or late June." I* Brewing New Odor to Trap Boll Weevil I 1 Dr. Frederick B.
