"Hush Hush" Room Of Secrets

SPIES WOULD GIVE THEIR LIVES TO ENTER IT

Oxford, Sept. 15. TUCKED away in the Library

of Patents, in High Hol born, is an office of mystery that few dare enter the Bri- tian Government's Room of Official Secrets,

None but trusted Civil Ser- vants ever go there. No out- sider has ever been allowed through its door.

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.

But few know the location of the State Paper Room, and how it is guarded, and they won't tell. "A bribe of £10,000 could not make me speak," an official said.

The march of Science pro- gresses, however, and as the years roll on inventions that were once official secrets be- come obsolete, or are supersed- ed by something better, or are no longer required by the Gov- ernment,

21-Years' Hush-Hush Then, and not until then, is the Government seal lifted from the device, and it becomes again the property of the inventor. But sometimes it is ten, twenty, or thirty years before that happens.

Inventions which have been. closely guarded secrets for 21 years have just. been revealed in an official publication.

Twenty-one years ago tho Admiralty were shown a patent for fire control apparatus for naval guns, and for twenty-one years they kept it a secrot,

Now anyone who cares to visit the Patents Office can see the specfications of that patent.

An automatic sight for use with heavy guns in aircraft againat ground targete was kopt under seal by the Government for seven- teon years, bomb gear for air- craft for twelve years, and sys- toms of wireless communication for twelve years.

For ten years apparently the Air Force has known all about automatic control systems for aircraft, and the patent has just been released.

U.S. "SLEEPING BEAUTY'S" LIFE New York, Sept. 15. SCIENTISTS in America are puzzled by a real "Sleeping Beauty."

Her name is Patricia Maguire, and she is known as the "Sleeping Beauty of Illnois."

Patricia, a brunette with beautiful eyes, fell asleep on February 25, 1932, a few days before Col. Lind- bergh's little son was kid- napped.

RAFFLES

She was 30 on April 1, COUPS

and still sleeps.

"Yet her mother says there are signs of improvement, though there has been little change in her daughter's condition in the past five months.

"Pat was a lively, alert girl with beautiful eyes,” she said, "I noticed one day early 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"

Fortunately the girl's muscles) used in swallowing react to the stimulus of food and drink.

"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 ngo 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.

"Homely Things”

'But," said her mother, "we have nover marcelled Pat's hair, had her! nails manicured, or given her face treatments.

LAUGHED AT POLICE

FOR 25 YEARS

Luton, Sept. 15.

DETECTIVE SERGEANT

HORACE FROST, of Lu- ton, wants to shake hands with "Flannel-Foot," the cloverest 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 bars,

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 him than any other officer in the country.

"I'm afraid Flannel-Foot' will always, remain too cunning for the police," he added, "He is the

tainly has paid him, and he neems to laugh at the police.

"Led Us A Danco" "Flannel-Foot nearly drove me crazy in my efforts to catch him. He is a sort of week-end Raffles. One week-end he would be in Herts, the next in Bucks, Worces- ter, Northampton, Bedford, and so on."

"He led us a nice dance, I can tell you. And what did we find when we arrived on the scene of

Pat-never-Ilked-dolling-up,'-each-crime?-Nothing absolutely

even in the happy old days."

If there is a Prince Charming who could waken the sleeping beauty, her mother does not know his name, but her faith that some day her daugther will awake re- mains serene.

"I see slow changes-signs that Pat thinks and feels, though at present she can ex- press nothing of what goes on in her mind," she told me. When Patricia wakes, what will she want to know first?

Her mother thinks she will ask about "homely things."

Perhaps a secret little diary of their life which her mother is keeping, and which no one is al- lowed to seo, will best answer such questions.

And what dark secrets and mysteries lie behind the patent kept under seal for three years on an apparatus for discharging fluid by aircraft.

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 silver or bulky articles Flannel-Foot would not touch with a 10-ft. pole. He works secretly and silently, and always alone.

"He never carries a single tool -blow lamp or a jemmy. Whon he wanta tools he steals them on the way to the 'job.'".
