"Pat was, a lively, alert girl with beautiful eyes," she said, "I noticed one day carly in 1932 that her eyes were getting heavy. They had a sort of dazed, far-away look.
"Then one day she just would not wake-up,”

Spies of foreign nations would give their lives for a peep into that room, just for a chance to delve into the secrets it contains -secrets of world-shaking dis- coveries and inventions-fruit of the brains of the greatest British scientists and inventors,

Inventions which have been closely guarded secrets for 21 years have just, been revealed in an official publication.
Twenty-one years ago. the Admiralty were shown a patent for a fire control apparatus for naval gune, and for twenty-one years they kept it a secret.
Now anyone who cares to visit the Patents Office can see the specifications of that patent,

"She is very good at swallow- ing," said her mother, who gives her liquids through a tube and also soft foods.
Joy came to the mother's heart some Bix months agn when Patricia showed signs of
re awakening.
"Now Pat has her eyes open most of the day," she said. "Her condition varies greatly Some days she is very restless, and at other times she smiles at me, crooks her fingers when I ask her to, and can under- stand simple things written on a' slate.

'But," said her mother, "we have never marcelled Pat's hair, had her nails manicured, or given her face treatments.
"Pat nover- liked 'dolling up, even in the happy old days."

LAUGHED AT POLICE
FOR 25 YEARS
Luton, Sept. 15. DETECTIVE SERGEANT
HORACE FROST, of Lu- ton, wants to shake hands with "Flannel-Foot," the cleverest crook he has ever known, who has been responsible for thou- sands of housebreakings during his 25 years of crime-but he wants to do it behind prison bara.
For Sergeant Frost, now on the retired list, has been on "Flannel- Foot's" trail for years and has travelled more miles in pursuit of im than any other officer in the country.
"I'm afraid 'Flannel-Foot' vill always remain too cunning for the police," he added. "He is the exception that proves the rulo that crime does not pay, at cer- tainly has paid him, and he seems to laugh at the police.
"Led Us A Dance" "Flannel-Foot nearly drove nie crazy in my efforts to catch him. He is a sort of weck-and Raffles. One week-end he would be in Пerts, the next in Bucks, Worces- ter, Northampton, Bedford, and so on.
"He led us a nice dance, I can tell you. And what did wo find when-we-arrived-on-the-scene-of- each crime? Nothing, absolutely nothing that would help us any- way-the side of a safe ripped away; money and stamps gone, drawers forced open. But that was all.
"Loot in the way of allver or bulky articles Flannel-Foot would not touch with a 10-ft, pole. Ho works secretly and silently, and always alone.
"He never carries a single tool When -blow lamp or a jemmy. he wants tools he steals them on the way to the 'job.'"
