" ney Daniel w. Baker and An

Mr.. Baker was the prosecutor and
Mr.. Lipscomb the attorney of the de-

a policeman, charged with killing his

course of the trial Lipscomb insinu-

a letter to the bishop of Washington
objecting to DR.. Mott appearing as a
character witness for Collier
Mr.. Baker was on his feet in an in

GERMAN HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

The American consul at Nurem-
berg reports on an interesting stats
tical study of household economy in
Germany. In the report considered
the government took into account S52
families, the heads of which were
asked to keep a careful account of the
wage income from all sources and the
outgo for the period covered by the
study. The total annual income was
$444, sol, and the total expenditures
Sass, ,005, leaving a deficit of more than
$4,000 at the end of the year. For
skilled industrial workmen the aver
age annual income in Germany, among
the families considered, was found to
be $44S. The average income for all
the families in the reckoning was
S521.70, while average expenditures
amounted to $53169, which left each
family owing approximately $40 at the
end of the year When it is consid-
cred that these averages may be ac-
cepted as the averages for the better
class of wage-earners in Germany it
would seem that, so far as the matter
of comparison is concerned, the aver
age American wage-earner, whether
skilled or unskilled has little about
which to complain. The showing in
Germany is more remarkable on ac-
count of the differences between
earnings and expenditures, and sug-
gests the need of larger incomes or
greater economy in household affairs
else wage -earners in Germany will
soon find themselves burdened by a
growing debt which they cannot hope
to oVertake.

Mr.. Lipscomb knows that he is not
telling the truth" shouted the district
attorney.
You're liar!" shouted Mr.. Lips
comb.
Then the district attorney made for
him. Mr.. Baker weighs $50 pounds.
He is not so agile as in his college
days, but he was full of fight He
launched wallop at Lipscomb, which,
had it landed, would have knocked
him across the court room. His aim
was bad, and the blow landed on the
assistant district attorney.
Then Liscomb and Baker clinched,
and rights and lefts, uppercuts and
jabs stirred up the court room dust,
and likewise the ire of the Judge, who
ordered the bailiffs to separate them.
Before the court officers could inter-
fere, the defendant, Collier, jumped
into the melee and stopped the pro-
ceedings. Justice Gould called the
fighting attorneys before the bar, gave
the district attorney a severe repri
mand and fined Lipscomb $50 for con-
tempt.

Capt. Godfrey L. Garden, a special
agent of the department of commerce
and labor, who has just finished an ex-
tended trip through Russia, with a
view to learning trade conditions,
makes a report very encouraging to
Americans. He says he found big
demand for American manufactures,
especially machinery of all kinds, and
that the supply is not up to the re-
quirements. Here is field which may
be worked to advantage. Russia has
entered upon a new era of develop
ment along various industrial lines, in
which the need of machinery is very
great. America excels in the manu-.
featuring of machinery, and that fact
is becoming more and more widely
recognized abroad. What is wanted
is active work in the way of canvas
sing for orders. And with American
ships to carry the goods the gain
would certainly be still more rapid.

feet of the campaign is being felt in
almost every state in the union. The
awakening to the necessities of the
situation has come none too soon, but
now that the battle is practically won
and millions of dollars are being in
vested in the improvement of the
highways of the nation it cannot be
realized too soon that constant and
untiring vigilance is the price of good
roads. No matter how well built the
new roads may be, unless liberal pro
vision is made for their maintenance
they will deteriorate and become little
better than at present.
