Germany, Is Human Wreck, Hit
Mind Affected.
l\ris Fiance. ? John Gurchison,
Vnie student, who has been buried
fn,;' , i In* world for 11 years in a Get
A Heidelberg, has arrived
nan p r^m *[
absolute human wreck.

Tti
?i Piirls. ?'D
1 viuerican Aid society in Paris
placed him in a private nursing
L,;u, in the suburbs, but he is in such
I ,u. rvau? condition that he attempted
3UieUe twice in a few days. American
Ipbysuians pronounce him sane, but
his terrible memories prevent him from
Leer'"*?- Ue acts 1Ike a man with de
Ijjriuui tremens and his memory is al
most gone.
(jurv'liison worked his way through
! year and won a scholarship at Hel
delbcr^.
Soon after arriving there he killed a
(jerinau student Jit a duel and was
jenteneed to five years in prison. Six
ndded to his sentence for at>
jguptii# to escape. Apparently no
ffreu^s t0 obtain his release.
jurChlson tfld not know anything
^8t ?h(vVVorld war until released and
^ scarcely grasp the fact. He has
{*eu m solitary confinement for 11
vears and his body is full of scars in
flicted by the wardens. His age is
jjven as iwenty-nine years. The Amer
ica embassy is attempting through
German embassy to clear up tlis
case.
POLICE USE PAPER BULLETS
Tar Gas Bomb* Alse Part of th#
Equipment of the Law Enforcing
Powers of Detroit.
Detroit. Mich. ? Tear gas bombs and
piper bullets are now part of the
regular equipment of the police in the
fourth city In America.
Police Commissioner Inches felt that
machine guns were needed by Detroit
to help in dispersing mobs. So the city
bought a number of sub-machine guns,
to shoot 1,500 bullets a minute, but the
commissioner was afflicted with a kind
heart and couldn't bear the thought of
the steel jucketed bullets mowing men
down just because they happened to
be disorderly.
Dr. Inches suggested that paper bul
lets be made, containing a charge of
minute bird shot. It Is said these
paper bullets wili not cripple for life
or kill any person, no matter at what
dose range they are fired, but will
?top any mob.
The bullets were found to have just
about the necessary speed asd hard
nets to get under a man's skin and
make him want to hunt a doctor in
the quickest possible tiaae.
CHANGES HAIR COLOR IN JAIL
ttri Gooe in a Brunette, Comes Out
a Blonde? Puzzle* the
Sheriff.
Laporte, Ind. ? How did it happen
that a woman prisoner entered the
Laporte county Jail ten days ago a
positive brunette and walked out a
stunning blonde?
Sheriff Anstiss can't figure out the
mystery, but he breathed a sigh of re
lief when he released the woman with
19 others, arrested in raids in Snarl
ton, Michigan City's vice district. All
spent ten days in jail. The one with
the changing hair must have carried
hair dye in her vanity case.
"Blamed if I won't have to do some
housecieanlng in Ihe jail before it will
he fit for a male prisoner," he said.
"They smoked cigarettes. They blowed
the smoke in the face of my jailer and
left cigarette stubs all over the floor.
It was a 5hame the way those women
carried on. People don't know what a
Bheriff has got to put up with."
WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE
When Carlo Got Through Laughinp
the Deputy Game Warden Decided
Not to Arreet Him.
San Quentin, Cal. ? Carlo Ballesterl
^as fishing on the beach here. A man
canife up and watched him a wttle
Said the man :
"Pin a deputy fish warden. I think
Hi put you in jail for 30 days foi
flshinp with a net, which is against the
law."
"Ha, ha!" said Carlo, of words to
that effect.
"Thirty days in jail is nothing to
'augh at," said the man.
"Ain't I the bird that knows it?" in
quired Oarlo. "I'm doing a life stretch
at Sao Quentin prison and am flshinj
by special permission."
"0 !" said the fish warden, and cou
nted himself with confiscating the
net.
Woman Who Dont Pay (T axe*
Greenville, Pa. ? Tax collectors and
'?wyers of Mercer county are ex?r*
?"ise>; over the question of what can
'lone to a woman who refuses to
pay her taxes. The law on the subject,
the lawyers say, is vague. A man cat
