GIRL SHRINKS INTO HAG

GHASTLY MÁLADY OF SPRINGTIME

Birmingham, Alabama. The advance of spring brings strange terror to 12-year old Mary Kato Ware, who leads a weird "Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde" existence in real life.

Each year, as buds open and flowers bloom, a mysterious malady temporarily transforms the Laugh- ing, plump little girl into a shrun- ken witch-like creature.

Stevenson's To-day, junt famous fiction character entered the body of Dr. Hyde, Mary's "Dr. Jekyll" was slowly changing the small body again. Doctors fear this visit may be permanent.

Childish fingers are once more curving into talons, and her back is becoming hunched. Chubby fea- tures are thinning into cruel lines as her head shrinks into her shoulders. One foot drags as the deformed child shuffles along hospital corridors.

THE

DECCA PORTROLA

A complete all electric radio-gram in the compass of an ordinary acoustic portable. Something that- until the introduction of this truly remarkable little Instrument was considered out of the question. But the seemingly impossible has been accomplished and DECCA—. the inventors of the first acoustic portable--now introduce tha world's first portable radio-gram.

A marvel of ingenuity, the 'Portrola' is distinguished not merely for its portability and novelty, but it really is a highly- efficient radio-gram, giving superlative results on radio or records and challenging favourable comparison with most multi-valve receivers.

ever, her health returned and she romped and played with other children.

For nine years, the visits have continued. Sometimes Mary has lost more than 20 pounds in the spring.

She would regain the weight and continue to grow normally. She reached the fifth grade in school With an averago scholastic record.

Curiously, Mrs, Ware said, her daughter complained of no pain until last year, when the affliction was accompanied by severe hend- aches and pains in her artha and shoulders.

"They hurt," she whimpered to her mother one night as a new at- tack came. The deformity did not completely disappear as usual that year and doctors believed the gradual return of Dr. Jekyll may mean permanent sorrow to Mary Ware this time.-United Press.
