Most of these companies and
agents have no standing in their
own states and are defrauding
the State of Wisconsin of the
taxes due it. 1t is an injustice to
licensed agents and companies
to encourage and support COM
panies or agents that do not COM
ply with the law.
In order that the readers of
your paper may oe protected a.
gainst the encroachments of
these unauthorized companies
agents, | appeal to you to give
such notice to the contents of
this letter as you may deem pro-
per, so that the attention of your
readers may be called to the fact
that a policy held by them in any
one of the above companies is of
no value so far as protection
from the Department of Insur-
ance is concerned. For several
months the Insurance Depart
ment had heard nothing of the
writing of wildcat insurance,
but during the past few weeks
the Department has received
numerous circular letters that
have been sent to citizens of this
state by the agents and compa-

Running an Automobile.

If the owner of an automobile is GO
ing to drive the machine and take care
Of it himself he could not spend few
days time any better than at the fac
tory where the car was built, getting
a good general idea of its construc-
ton and the relative position and ac-
lions of the various parts. If this
cannot be done, he must needs famil-
iarize himself with the workings Of
the car as best be may fron the liter
allure that he can secure, keeping in
mind the idea that the best thing TO do
is to let well enough alone, and not try
to dissect any of the parts until the
engine kicks up and really needs atten-
ton.
Many cars are put out of commits
sion by the arrangement Of adjust
ments by their owners in an attempt
to see how the thing is put together.
Never worry but that you will know
soon enough when any adjustment
goes wrong.
Having practiced sufficiently to have
become adept in the stopping. starting
and steering Of the car, the owner is
.eady for the road and for bis touring
e perience. Country Life in America.

DO MEN KNOW WOMEN Z?
To What Extent the Sexes Are Able to

To What Extent the Sexes Are Able to
Understand One Another.
Edward Bennett has some witty re-
Elections in his 1.-The Passing Hour
notes in the English Illustrated Maya
zine. He says:
Solomon, the wisest Of men, de
clared woman TO be an enigma. He
appears to have studied the sex in
patches and to have struck an aver
age. He had scarcely time to study
the individual. But many an honest
Darby who possessed heart has IN
derstood more than one Joan. II it is
possible ito lay down a general princi-
pie in such a matter, | should say that
where men have failed 20 understand
women it was owing to want of heart
and that where women have not I'M
derstood men, it was due to want or
intelligence"
AS a matter of fact. it is only in
rare moments of establishment and
devotion to another that anybody
cares to admit he or she is under
stood. "'You don't understand me
one little bit is often the last despair
ing cry of a woman's injured pride to
the man who is revealing t. her the
fact that he knows everything, even
that this cry is a patent insincerity.
And the man who laments that a wom-
an cannot see how strong is his deyo-
ton, that she perverts and twists all
his assurances into something quite
foreign TO their original meaning, will
admit some day that she understood
him only too well, that his was a ma
ture which required opposition to stir
it into activity, and what was mis-
taken in the business was that he lim-
self was so easily comprehended."
When a man says that the motives
Of certain woman are unintelligible
to him, the explanation often is that
she has wounded his pride by showing
him too plainly that she understands
him, and acts accordingly. I'm other
words, her intelligence prompts her to
act differently from what is respected
of the average woman in similar cir
cumstances, and this exhibition of in
telligence is labeled by the man as In
comprehensive. 1t is his nasty pride
which is at fault all the time. And
this applies just as much in the case
Of a woman as in that of a man. Men
and women have been deliberately
throwing dust in one another's eyes
for centuries, and the wonderful thing
is that they understand each other so
we'll"

TO NUMBER UMBRELLAS

London Paper Suggests Way to Re-
cover Lost Ones.
There is much pathos in the story Of
the London Express. Few, indeed, are
the citizens from whom at one time
or another a well-tried companion l.
many a storm has not been taken 10
swell the great total of the missing.
Most men are sensitive where their
umbrellas are concerned and the sad
dest fact cf all to them is that there
is no mems Of restoring the lost,
strayed or stolen articles to their own
ers. Insurance is remedy that sug-
gests itself. But or inquiry an Ex-
press representative found that there
is not a single insurance Office in Lon
don that makes a specially of maxi
ing provision for the loss of umbrel-
las. Dogs. cats, babies and bicycles
can be insured Several companies
make themselves responsible for keys
and season tickets. 1t is even posi-
bic to insure against the risk of forg-
cry, but against the umbrella thief
there is no protection.
rs the manager of an insurance
company the Express representative
ventured to suggest bureau where an
umbrella might be numbered ike a
bunch of keys, and where the finder
would be rewarded.
1T has been tried" was the reply.
'The firm gave it up in despair
THE amount Of the premium does
not encourage customers A shilling
a year insures key ring, but um-
brellas are so liable to loss that the
premium would be almost equal to the
actual value Of the umbrella.
"The numbering Of all umbrellas ip
central registry at the lost properly
office would be sufficient protection
against accidental misrepresentation.
The owner could then be found simply
by consulting the register"

The Rocket was the invention of
George Stephenson, whose activities in
that line had been stimulated by q
premium of 500 pounds for the best
locomotive. offered by the Liverpool
s. Manchester Railway. 1t was by no
means the first of its kind. but was
the first to be used in a regular pas
senger service. In its trials in 1923
it won the prize, attaining maximum
speed of % miles an hour, and main
tanning an average speed of 10 miles
throughout. This was most extra0r
binary performance, when it is con
sidered that one of the first engines
built at the Newcastle Works where
the Rocket was made only beat a stags
coach by 100 yards in a race.
81 don't remember the time we
made" says Mr.. Entwistle in speak
ing about the trip. ''The Rocket pulled
five coaches. They were small affairs
and looked much like stage coaches on
wheels. Each coach contained three
seats, each accommodating three peo-
pie, making nine to a coach. People
rode on the tops, however. and hung
on the sides of the coaches, so that
in all 75 persons rode that day. Thou
sands of persons were lined up along
the railroad track on both sides to wit
ness the strange performance"
The road was formally opened foi
travel in 1880 with eight Stephenson
locomotives as its motive power. Aft
er operating the Rocket 80 months
young Entwistle found himself almost
a nervous wreck and refused to serve
any longer.

about thirteen. grandfather made fresh
will; and as he was never content to
have me a moment from his side, it was
dictated to the lawyer In nay presence.
In it l was named heiress to all he pos
sessed, with the exception of an annu-
ity to John, and the former will, by
which John would have inherited all his
wealth, was destroyed. 1 was very much
troubled when | heard this; and l told
grandfather how much happier l should
be if he would let things remain IS they

"Well, in some way or other Cousin

But She Refused to Give Usual supply
of Milk.
Alfred James, of the University OF

farm life one day last week. says the
Baltimore Sun.
He went out to Reisterstown to visit
a friend He found the young man in
the barn about to begin the days mi k
ing. His friend is a civil engineer, but
Is spending the summer at his coun-
try home, in Baltimore county, and de
lights in the simple occupations of the
farm. One of his hobbies is milking
the cows, and he was about to begin
on very ladyIike old brindle when
Mr.. James climbed the fence and call
ed out to him.
Mr.. r., the gentleman Of bucollc
tastes, came to meet him, and the two
shook hands and chatted for few
minutes.
Excuse me, old man." he said to
Mr.. James. while milk the cow"
go ahead" the latter replied. I'D
like to watch you do it."
Thereupon Mr.. x. put his stool in
place, arranged his legs as long-limbed
milkmen have to do and proceeded.
Mr.. James walked to the cows head
and gently stroked her neck, saying
appropriate and endearing things the
while. He had his pipe in his hand
and held it under the cows nose.
She shifted, looked about. shifted
again and loked about, and then sniff
ed. She seemed to like it. Mr.. James
began TO laugh, but in a few minutes
Mr.. r. got up in disgust. He said a
a few things about the cow and COM
planned that the blooming old thing
won't let down a drop of milk"
He then kicked her in the ribs,
drove her into her stall and turned the
job of milking over to one of the
farm hands as he went off with his
guest.
The COW was so delighted with the
odor of the smoke that she forgot all
about giving milk as usual.
Mr.. James thought 1t was great
joke on a suitable occasion. But the
funniest part of the joke didn't seem
to appeal to him so much the MORN
ing following the incident. when at
breakfast coffee had to be drunk with
out cream. as it did the Afternoon be-

Things to Be Banished.


Here are few things that must
be banished from room with preten-
sions to taste: Papered ceilings; pale,
characterless colors; the insipid pinks
and blues, violets and green's, that the
calciminers are addicted to; Noting
ham lace curtains; Grapes, tides, etc.;
meaningless bows of ribbon tied on
various objects; frilled or founced
lamp shades; plush sets; stationary
rockers; folding beds; over-mantels;
plush frames; sofa cushions adorned
with Gibson girls or other pictures.
You may already be burdened with
one Of these things and be unable to
discard it. In that case try to live
