be filed and their "in term" appeal be
kept alive under the law
The record filed contains the ruling
of the court and the company's bill of
exceptions on the instructions. but does
not contain the bill of exceptions con-
tanning the evidence.
The petition for ertiorari shows that
the bill of exceptions containing the
evidence was presented to the trial
Judge on August IA, 1913 but that he
retained 1t without acting upon it un-
til November II, 1913, when he signed 1t
and 1T was filed with the clerk of the
lower court on November IT.
This case was appealed to the SUI
preme court on the trial courts ruling
that the complaint failed to state a
cause OF action. and the supreme court
reversed the lower court and, holding
that the complaint was sufficient, on
petition for rehearing overruled some
of its former opinions. The trial from
which this appeal is prosecuted was on
the complaint held good by the supreme
court.

Call for Stamps Is Good.

Mrs William Lawson, who has con-
Quoted the sale of Red Cross seals in
the Iebby of the Federal building dur
ing the past two days, has found the
demand to be bigger than ever, owing
to the fact that the seals have become
an established charity with which ev-
cry one is made more or less familiar
by newspaper publicity.
Mrs. J. NJ. Turner, who is in charge
of the sale this year being conducted
by the Hammond woman's club, has
placed large allotments of seals in
stores and factories. In the latter the
call for them is remarkable.
