Women Who Was Hypnotised
By Gipsy With Green Eyes
Rome, Feb. 20.
Police are searching forest and wood- land round the little town of Novara, in northern Italy, for a Gipsy Woman With Green Eyes.
In the town to-night the door of every house is locked and bolted. Shutters are drawn across every window. Not a woman or child will venture out of doors.
The Gipsy with the Green Eyes had been scen in the town, begging from door to door, for some days.
HYSTERICAL CRIES
Then yesterday neighbours heard the sound. of weeping inside the cottage where Signora. Riat Cravelli, aged fifty-five, lived alone.
They ran in and found the widow hysterical
in a room where all the drawers had been opened
and their contents strewn over the floor..
The police were called, and between her sobs the widow told her story,
"The gipsy knocked at the door," the widow said, “Shè had a baby In her arms. She was crying. · Sho ruid the baby was hangry and ill. So i, gave them some food.
I
"But the baby did not want to eat. 1. then noticed the baby had very fair hair and a whlie skin. I was going to ask her about the baby, but she looked at me so strangely that I was afraid.
"Sho said, "Have you any old clothes? I wanted
to say "No,' but the gipay was still staring at me. Her eyes were so green....it was terrible.
"I did not want to, but I moved away from her towards the bedroom and she followed me,į Then she held out the baby and I took it. I did not know why. She emptied all the drawers, and took a bug with my life savings. It was all I had.
"She also took some of my nev linen. Then she took the baby away from me and Hacker towards į
the door.
"I do not know how long she was here. I cannot tell. It was terrible."
No sooner did the widow's story become known than many other complaints from women, who said
OF ALL GOOD STORES & CHEMISTS they had been robbed in the same

Geneva, Mar. 26, Human and animal bites, in- flicted on 118,062 persons, caused 408 deaths by rabies in 1933, a League of Nations study reveals.

Of 1,501 human bites, one death was recorded at Kaanuli, India, Another death was caused by a deepdous undertakings ever attempted. bite in the arm by a cow.

When the Professor 'tukes off from the ground the balloon will be filled only to one or two per cent. of its total capacity.
- No wireless will be carried, so that weight can be reduced to a minimum.
The balloon will soar to an altitude of 94,000 feet in less than one hour, if all goes well. When a correspondent talked to Professor Piccard to-day in his little office closo to the laboratory of Brussels University, he was confident that he would succeed. But as a scien- tist, he is well aware of the perils that threaten his balloon,
"When I made my first record ascent," he said, "It was to D height of 50,000 feet. At this al- titude the pressure is about one- tenth that of the atmosphere.
