TWIN ARRIVES THREE MONTHS AFTER BROTHER LONDON, (UP) The story of the birth of a baby prirl three months after the arrival of her twin brother is recorded in the current isue of "The British.

The baby was a normal boy of just under six pounds in weight, and both baby and mother made a piompt re covery from the unusual circum stances of the confinement. Medical advice was sought about three months later and the mother was astounded to be told that she might expect another baby very shortly. Three days after this news a baby girl arrived, weighing just under seven pounds and apparently normal in every respect. EASE NERVES FOR CAP TIVES FOR THE ZOQ WASHINGTON, (UP) The "Zoo Special,"a Noah's Ark on rails, shun ted through the Sumatran jungle in night stages last week, to humanize the capitivity of hundreds of strange wild animals.

Inside the weird stone mausoleum covered only by a blanket is the body of Thomas Pursell, Williamsport fireman who spent 18 months building his tomb so he could escape should he "awake" after burial. Beside the body is a hammer and two boards, the implements which Pursell will u:se to gain freedom if he revives in the next two months. Air circulates through the vault by means of a scries of ventilators. If he does not arise within the next CO days, however, the tomb will be sealed permanently. The phobia which haunted the last days of Purcell's life is said to have gripped him first as he witnessed the opening of another man's casket. The body was on its face. WIVES AT PARIS SUSPECT HUSBANDS STAETED SCARE Men in all ranks and stages of life, the king and his servant, the rich and the poor, will be startled to hear there is one community in all the world where the men have managed to obtain for their own the side of the bed next to the window where the night breezes blow the coolest. Those crafty men live at Paris, Mo. For the past several weeks, dur ing the hottest of the summer, a scare has been abroad in the com munity that Peeping Toms are peep ing. And the side of the bed next to the window is no place for a wife to sleep. How long this community state of mind can exist cannot be predicted. According to a report from the Mon roe County Appeal, the wiliest of the wives are beginning to suspect "the brutes" of starting the scare.

LflilE a "The Shop of Personal Service" PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA LICENSES CAR OF '98 VINTAGE CANTON, O. (UP) William Pierce, Jr.. has purchased 1937 li cense tags for his reconditioned 1S9S "auto bug," giving Stark county claim to having issued plates for the oldest automobile in the state and perhaps in the nation. Pierce said the car has been in his family since the original purchase nearly 40 years ago. The "horseless carriage" was built in Norwalk, O., during the period when autoists ter rorized the countrysides by banging along at an 18-mile-au-hour clip. The bill of sale for the car has its horsepower listed at 5; its manufac turer's number a3 22. The engine is of the Continental type and bears the number 703, indicating the car was one of the first made by the com pany. An ancient automobile catalog, owned by Pierce, gives the list price for the "horseless" carriage as $795 with "special equipment" extra. Special equipment included a horn, $15; headlights, $25, and a top at $45. Pierce has taken the "auto bug" to Bell Glade. Fla., by trailer, where it will be used as an advertising and promotional medium for a garage and blacksmith shop he has pur chased. Pierce also has three other "an cients" stored here. These a.re a 1900 Sears, a 1909 White and a 1902 Sheet all in running condi tion.
