Miss McGuire, brown-haired and with hazel-gray eyes, was stricken February l5 as she was preparing for church. “Since then she has not uttered an intelligible word, has had to be fed liquid foods through her nostrils and cared for like a baby.

Encephalitis

Dr. Eugene F. Traut, specialist, diagnosed the malady as a form of encephalitis which he called “Am- erican sleeping sickness."

Strangely, the 257-day semi-coma has been in many ways an actual “beauty sleep." The girl has gained in weight. The slight pallor caused by spending so long a time indoors has enhanced her beauty. Her mus- cles are firm and her mother be- lieves she is in excelfent physical condition except for the sleeping sickness.

Mother and sister greeted visitors with cheery smiles today, so confi- dent are they that the tide has turned and Patricia is getting bet- ter. They could even laugh over some of the humorous incidents of Patriciirs illness.

"Our whole school is plugging for you, Miss McGuire. Please don't sleep any longer. I know they have taken 200d care of you."

That touched Mrs. Miley. “Bless his heart,” she said. "People have tried to be helpful and they have encouraged us a lot."

Outside, up and down the quiet, tree-lined street, neighbors chatted about the case as they raked leaves from their lawns.

Their natural food is birds which they catch by night among the trees but like other snakes of the same species, they reject British food and slowly are starving to death.

They simply won't eat British food and there is also possibly a genuine hatred of being caged and exhibited.

Snakes and boas can survive very long periods of fasting but Zoo at- tendants are striving i0 ﬁnd some tasty birds for them so that they can get their tomachs full before they begin their usual long winter fast, otherwise they will die.
