Do Strange Things
When an attractive eighteen-
year-old girl told her twenty-
tWO-year old boy friend the
ether day that she never wanted
10 See him again, his heart sank,
for he was madly in love with
111Ser, What could he do to prove
two her that he really loved her?
Then the Big Idea came.
Re decided to climb a 225-ft.
crane on a London building site
to prove his love for her. So up,
VP, Up the crane he went, climb-
ing high for the love of the girl
who said she did not want him,
Too scared to do anything, the
girl watched him with bated
-breath, To the young man — a
skilled spiderman with a repu-
tation in the business as a fast
climber of scaffolding — the
climb was not difficult, But the
girl feared what would happen
when he had clambered to the
top.
Passed-by joined her as she
gazed upwards. Someone rush-
ed to fetch the police, A squad
ear, a fire-engine and an ambu-
lance arrived. But still the young
Man climbed.
He got to the top. Below he
saw the girl of his dreams, a
tiny, tense figure, her face turn-
ed skywards in mute appeal. A
revulsion of feeling seized the
daring climber. He came down.
"When I saw my girl, police
and. firemen waiting for me, I
somehow got panicky," he said
later. And he told the police:
41 did it to frighten her."
When the girl saw that her
ex-sweetheart was safe, she slip-
ped away through the crowd.
"rd.& anything to please that
girl," the young man declared.
"I gave up drinking because she
didn't like it. I'd even give up
onnoking — and I'm a heavy
smoker."
That night the pair were re-
united.
To prove their love people
sometimes" do the oddest things.
And time and again men and
women prove their love in ex-
traordinary ways.
The ',Jove-life of a thirty-year-
Old ,,,night Watchman was not
very happy, for the girl of his
choice rejected all his advances.
She wouldn't even let him take
her to the movies although he
knew she liked romantic films
with stories ,of 4ieldisin. 1 —
One night police were called
to the factory by telephone and
found the night" watchman in a
half-naked 'epiidition; covered
with tar, and'Paint.

attacked by intruders whom he
fought for twenty` minutes be- .

His story turned out tO be phre

lie 'said: "I Mader hp the :whole
story 'to" raid out 'whether my
girl really cared. fey. ineh, La 4'
Binding him eo-ver on a charge
of causing ..a pnblic mischief, the
judge said "This man wanted to
ecome a hero in a girl's eyes.
He had, a craving for Cierrience;
I suppose, but the police,disln"t
find' it so romantic." 'T,4
Under the spell of infatiiation,
a Belgian whose faithfulness had
been questioned by the slim
brunette he wanted to. marry,.
walked in 1921 into a cage of
Eons where he read a newspaper
and smoked a cigarette for five
minutes, amid a chorus -of fierce
snarls and growls.
When she saw one lion ap-
proach him, the girl fainted. But
he emerged unscathed. The girl
recovered and told hin ,
"The risk you ran proves lie-
3rond doubt that you_ love ,me
and are true to me. I'll marry
you as soon,as,,,yeu like."

of the waterfall. It is expec-
ted to be cOmpleted, by 1957.
When the French missionary
- and eXploter,`Father Louis Hen.,
nepin, first saw the Niagara Falls
in 1678 the drop into the Nia-
gara River was altreastA,000 feet
further 'than it is today. Since
records of the crest of the water-
fall have been kept since 1784
the fall's have receded 865 feet,
more than half of this in the
first 78 years. * *
Use of the falls for hydro-
electric power has slowed down

Q. How can I keep egg yolks?
A. If it is desired to keep egg
yolks for several days, cover
them with cold water until

A. It is a household necessity,
but when used on laundry day if
it is not rinsed out of the clothes

Up to the time she was
twentY-seven, beautiful Patricia
Maguire lived a normal, healthy
and athletic lite in her Meng
home, Then, in Pebruary, 1932,
she "fell asleep," in a mysteri
Gus sleep from which doctors
and specialiSts tailed to arouse
her,
Checking up on her back-
ground, the doctors found that.
Patricia was engaged to be mar-
ried, was perfectly happy and
had had no unusual or disturb-
ing illnesses in her life.
At first the doctors were non-
committal when Patricia's par-
ents and fiance wanted to .know
when she would wake up. "She
may awake soon — or it may
be a long time," was' the gist
of their evasive answers, o So
specialists were called in and
on their recommendations nu-
merous cures were attempted,
Patricia, however, quietly slept
on, unaware of the fuss going
on about her.
After a while, the story of
Chicago's "Sleeping Beauty" be-
came widely known, Seeing her
picture in the papers, and deep-
ly disturbed that so lovely a
girl should be sleeping her life
away, many men fell in love
with her. Some of them wrote
passionate 'letters declaring their
devotion, and telling her about
themselves — their lives, their
aspirations and hopes.
They promised to wait until
she was better, and then they
would call on her and propose
marriage. They sent flowers
frequently, followed by other
letters.
But. Patricia couldn't read the
letters or see the beautiful
flowers that filled her, bedroom,
anl so knew nothing of the de-
votion lavished on her by her
admirers. 'Oddly enough the ad-
mirers didn't know Patricia was
already engaged, nor that her
fiance visited her at least twice
a week, and 'phoned her par-
ents daily to ask how she was.
As time went by, Patricia
didn't improve except to grow
more beautiful as she slept. Oc-
casionally she .would open her
eyes, but apparently they regis-
tered nothing. Once she scrib-
bled a message on a slate, which
nobody ^cOuld decipher. In 1934
she stirred as though she might
wake — only to lapse swiftly
into a coma again.
To maintain her physical con-
dition and keep her healthy, Pa-
tricia was given a special liquid
diet which was fed to her six
times a .day through a tube. She
was massaged regularly, and
visited ,once a week by a mani-
curist and' by 1i hairdresser.
Steadily she grew even lovelier
— but stayed asleep.
Then it way'' `that the keen eyes
of one of the visiting specialists
