Another line of attack aims to catch

the screen opening at the top into two
trans, one leading outward and the other
inward.
..T'he outward opening trap catches the
flies that have been Matched in the

the vanguard comes an announcement
from the churches of the Methodist faith
in Cook county, H., abolishing the col
lection plate. The offertory is TO be
superseded by the placing of the church
finances on a solid basis, the members
pledging themselves to donate stipulated
funds each year. A regular budget wiz
be prepared with appropriations for the
pastors salary, maintenance or the
church and other expenses. The plan is
not new in its general scope. The decline
of the collection plate has been due to
the reliance on less variable sources OF
income. 1t has been retained largely for
sentimentalty and as a means of addi-
tional revenue from strangers and MEM
beers not otherwise contributing. The
total abolition of the collection, however,
is radical In day which sees even the
financial obligations of the church under
written il marks the passing of the, old
and the coming of the new. The offer
tory old as the church itself, has become
s,iperfuous and like all things super
fiuous it must give way to more modern
methods of raising money.

FRENCH PREMIER WINS
IN HOUSE OF DEPUTIES
Vote of Confidence Follows
Speech, in Which He Flags
Socialists.

! PARIS, October 31.-Amid an impress
sive hush which contrasted strangely with
the unprecedented passion and tumult in
the chamber of deputies the proceeding
day, Premier BRAND yesterday, in cold,
| incisive phrase and accomplished ora
| tory, f1ayed the socialists for their vio
lence in forbidding him the right Of
speech.
| The premier assured the chamber that
he was no dictator, but man of law and
order, and at the end of the session his
frank appeal for republican support re-
sulting, in a vote of confidence, 800 to

Since the days of the Boulanger and
Dreyfus affairs no such interest has been
displayed in session of the French par
| lament. Vast crowds besieged the doors
| at an early hour, and, unable to obtain
entry, assembled in the square, the
streets and on the Pont de la Concorde
and waited for hours i'm the rain to learn
the outcome
| Carried away by his passion Saturday,
the premier, defending the attitude of the
| government In suppressing the railway
strike, exclaimed:
| Had the actual laws of the country
| not been sufficient l would not have
| hesitated to resort even to illegal meas
i
| fatherland."
Brands Speech.
Following NJ Reynaud, who justified
| the premier's words by the axiom that
a great national crisis would Justify the
neglect of legal scruples, M BRAND
mounted the tribune, silence falling over
the house. He declared that his re-
| marks of the day previous had been en-
tireiy misunderstood. because the social
| istic fury and disorder had not permitted
him to complete his statements. What he
| had tried to say was that in grave hours
| of national peril exceptional measures
were justified. Nevertheless the govern
ment was proud that it had kept within
the limits of legality 1t had been many
years since the government endured such
| troublous hours, but the nation had
emerged from the threatened revolt clean

Then. with dramatic gesture, he flung

The defendants automobile. in
which he was riding, collided with the
plaintiffs mare, and injured her, it is
claimed, so that she died. No ques-
tions OF law are involved, and the only
question of fact discussed by counsel
is whether the defendants negligence
caused the injury.
The mare and colt were being
driven along the road from the pas
ture to the barn. They were unhar-
messed and loose. The plaintiff claims
that the mare was walking on the
north side of the road, going west
and that the automobile going east al
great speed on the same side of the
road, struck her, knocked her down
pushed her some distance and stopped
after one wheel had ecN- over a por-
ton of her body.
The defendants version is that
when the automobile was approaching
the animals at a speed within the
statutory limit of Is miles an hour, the
colt was in the middle of the road
and the mare was eating grass along
the north side of the road. AS the au
mobile approached the colt went to
the south side of the road, out of the
way of the car. The mare started
across the road to follow the colt. The
machine which had been slowed down
