Sixty-Six Hundred Volts
Fail to Feaze Lineman
- Kansas City, Kan., Aug. 14. Sev
enteen , hundred volts of 'electricity
are easily, sufficient to cause in
stant death, but John Stapleton,. a
lineman, had 6.600 -volts 'pass
through his body here the other day
and still lives to tell about his expe
rience. Furthermore, he expects to
keep on living.
Staplcon received the "shock" at
the top of s a pole, where he was
working on damaged cable.
Knocked from ' his perch by the
force of the "juice," he seized a guy
wire and slid to the ground.
Aside from a few bruises Staple
ton ,was uninjured.
There are 12 different kinds of
miles in the world used for measur
ing distances, and each one varies in
length in different countries.
He Only Shuddered, But
Poor tirtdfish Were Killed
Lenox,' Mass., Aug. 14. Speaking
of "nonconductors"
Listen to the wild, fish tale told
truthfully by Spencer F. Shotter of
Savannah, Ga.. who owns Marywood,
one of the 'most beautiful homes iu
the Berkshire hills:
"During that 'severe electiica:
storm the other day a bolt of light
ning came over the telephone wires,
passed through my body and con
nected with a bowl of goldfish near
by. All of the goldfish were killed,
but I I only shuddered."
Huge Hippo Charged Motor
Launch in African River
Loudon, Aug. 14. A cable to the
African World from Victoria Falls
states that while a motorlautich con
taining a party of Rand tourists, in
cluding Lady Ross Skinner, wife of
Sir Henry Ross Skinner; Mrs.
l'roude. Dr. William Davies, and
somechildreii was" returning to Liv
ingstone from Kandahar Island,
above Main Falls, a huge hippopbta-
soon waterlogged.
The party kept cool and all got
safely ashore after their exciting adventure.

V t l .
one wno nas ever stood in
that line -at the Y. VV. C. A. cafe
, teria needs to be told that it is
popular. And the patrons know
why. But many have wondered just
who was responsible for this popu
larity.
Mrs. S. V. Fullaway; the modest
and unassuming directress of the
cafeteria, is sq very modest that it
is difficult to gey her to admit that
she is responsible for the growth of
the cafeteria.
Mrs. Fullaway took over the man
agemcnt of the cafeteria just a year
In July, 1919. 16,688 meals were
served in the cafeteria.
Trebles Number of Patrons.
Then Mrs. Fullaway became di
rectress.
By October she had run the num
ber of patrons up to 31,000 for the
month and during the winter there
was a monthly average of 44,000.
"How do you do it?" she was
asked.
"Well," she replied, after some
hesitation, "I think it Is, due to the
quality of our food, the size of our
portions, the variety and the atmos
phere of the place.
"I always insist on the best qual
it'. I make the portions as large as
we can for the money and see that
we have as large a variety as pos-

teachers who knew me came to the
cafeteria. ' I think that this, in a
measure explains the big jump in
the number of patrons right at the
start." i
The Y. W. C. A cafeteia is not

Successful Before. '
- Mrs Fullaway had previously
been in business as directress' of an
eating place at Pari; avenue and Pa
cific street, and the tables served
under her management have long
been noted in Omaha for their ex
cellence.
Though the Y. W. C. A. cafeteria
is intended primarily for the girls,
there are nearly as many men as wo--men
patrons.
"They are all welcome," . de
clared' Mrs. Fullaway." - -
