STORiI CONVERTS DETROIT
RIVER INTO KA ELSTRO.11
Detroit, March 12--(By A.P.)-
A gale that brought with it a de-
cided drop in temperature reach-
ed Detroit from out of the West
today, turned the waters of De-
troit river into a maelstrom and
made the crossing of the Wind-
sor ferries a hazardous undertak-
ing. Nearly three hours were re-
quired for one of the ferries car-
rying scores of passengers to
effect a landing on the Detroit
side. The wind is moving the ice
field down from the lakes, adding
to the peril of river traffic.
Other parts of the state suffer-
ed a greater inconvenience, sev-
eral cities were without wire
communication or else were con-.
nected with the outside world by
meagre connections. The wind-
storm left in its wake rows of
broken telegraph poles and twist-
ed and fallen wires. Several
days will be required to get
Michigan utilities back on nor-
mal basis it is believed.

HOT WATER BOTTLE PROVES
SECRET OF TEMPERATURE
Chicago, March 12-(]3y A.P.)
A small flesh colored hot wa-
ter bottle was the secret of a
hoax by which Miss Evelyn
SLyonsof Escanaba, Michigan,
has been able to baffle and con-
vince doctors for three weeks
that she had a temperature of
114 degrees or higher.
The young woman who. had
once been a nurse concealed the
( hot water bootle in her bed, it
was said, and through pretended
j fits of coughing and hysteria
managed to place the thermome-
tee on the hot water bottle long
enough to drive the mercury to
the desired point.

"Peaceful Valley"
Phidelah Rice, nationally known
reader and interpreter of plays, will
ive the second March lecture on the1
Oratorical lecture course program at
8 o'clock tomorrow night in Hill an-
ditorium. He will read "Peaceful Val-
ley," the play made famous by the not-;
ed actor, S. Smith Russell. The play
itself is a comedy and is especially fit
for "monacting." It was once read
by Mr. Rice at Chautauqua, New York,
at which time he was called back twice
by the applause.
At the present time Mr. Rice is
teaching at Lelanid Powers School of
Dramatics at Boston, Mass., with the
exception of the few times a year he
leaves his work to give recitals in oth-
er institutions;
In speaking of Mr. Rice's work,
Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood, of the
public speaking department, who is in
charge of all arrangements for the
lecture course program, says, "Mr.
Rice read a play.last year at the Un-
iversity of Wisconsin and was so pop-
ular with his Madison audience that
we saw fit to engage him for a recital;
here."
