BROKE RECORD FOR DICTATIoN
Court Delivered Charge at Rate Of
21l Words a Minute.

SPOKANE, May 1O.-Dictating eX-
temporaneousy at the rate of 211 SO
words minute for nine consecutive
minutes, Federal Judge Frank II
Rudkin is credited by Spokane court
reporters with a worlds speed record
in delivering charges TO jurics Judge
Rudkin, in instructng the jury in tho
personal injury suit Of Leslie Gray
against the Oregon Washington rail-
road and Navigation company, pro-
nounced 1904 words in nine minutes,
his charge being wholly eXtemporan-
eous. No errors in grammar were
made. Judge Rudkin's instructions
are VIGOROUSLY rapid and for years
have been the dread Of court report
ers. Willard p. Bottome, official
stenographer Of the New York SUI
preme court, in his 1910 volume gives
examples of charges made at the rate
Of $50 words a minute, and Spokane
court reporters agree that Judge Rud-
kin is entitled to the worlds record In
this respect. They say Judges pro-
nouncements and attorneys argu.
ments are given much faster In the
west than nthe cast, because younger
men are on the bench and in the prac-
tice of law in the west.

A machine that thrashcs standing
grain in the field without cutting has
been invented by G. c. Baldwin OF
Nicholson, Kan. Four horses push
the machine over the field and a
small gasoline engine drives the
thrasher. only two men are required
TO operate II. one driving the horses
and the other tying the sacks OF
thrashed grain and looking after the
engine.
The inventor is Of the opinion that
this machine will revolutionize the
harvesting business in the Plains
states. says the Kansas City Star;
The inventor is a young man who
has made study Of thrashing ma
chimes since he was a boy. When
he was 12 years old he worked as a
water hauler for a thrashing outfit,
and when he was IS he invented this
machine and built rough model of
1t. He experimental for three years
before he got the machine to work,
and then he patented 1t.
In 1911 a machine was tried In the
field. but 1t did not work satisfactor-
ily. last year another was built. which
did the work. Now company has
been formed and a competent engi-
neer has been engaged to redesign the
machine on good mechanical lines.

Recently, a teacher was reprimand-
ed for offering one of her pupils a
penny to eat snail. 1t happened TO
be just an ordinary snail, and the
teacher confessed that she did not
know at the time that the snails peo-
pie ate were Of a different kind.
The edible snail is a very different
kind of snail from that which the
average man is continually clearing
out of his back garden, though 1t IS
rather similar in appearance. 1t is
however. about five times as large
as the ordinary garden snail. The
best for the table come from Bur
cundy where they are gathered by
the hundred thousand in the vine
yards.
These snails during the season cost
from five to siXpence a dozen. A
dozen snalls form Just an apetizer as
1t were, before a meal The season
lasts from November to February,
those months when the snail buries
itself underground to pass the winter.
Another mistake the teacher made
besides choosing the wrong kind of
snail, was to get one Of her pupils to
eat 1t raw Edible snals are never
eaten raw, but are always grilled or
boiled.
They are cooked and eaten in vari-
GUS ways. In Paris a dozen snails are
served piping hot on a dish, and they
are extracted from their shells with
a special snail fork and eaten whole.
In parts Of France the cooked dainty
is chopped up with butter and herbs
before being eaten. In Marseilles, the
snails are stepped for one or two days
in milk to make their flesh tender

on the recess was a reflection upon
the motives of members of the house
Inasmuch as it was an attempt on the
part of the chief executive to fix
responsibility for the defeat of the
marketing commission bill.
He charged that because of his diff
fferences with the head of the insur-
ance department, the governor and
his forces worked to defeat the bill

ty to regulate fire insurance rates in

the governor was in sympathy with a

because of his attack upon the gov
ernor, but they were not successful.
The Scott Resolution.
On the day following the attack
made by Mr.. Anderson, Senator Scott
introduced a lengthy joint resolution
in the senate which amounts to a
severe arraignment of the governor
for his opposition to the recess plan.
In the resolution it is stated that in
order to give proper consideration to
the questions of waterpoWers, moth
ers' pension and the marketing prob
lem, the legislature ought to take a
recess and give special investigating
committees an opportunity to draft
bills which adequately cover these
subjects. The resolution also says
that the governor is too inexperi
enced to tell men who have grown
gray in the service of the state what
should be done in the interest of the
best legislation.
The breach between the La Toilette
forces and the McGovern forces is
now so great that one would hardly
think that the governor ever belong
ed to the Republican party. Frequent
clashes between Bull Moosers and
La Toilette men in both houses dur
sng the week has added to the in
tense fractional bitterness that pre-
walls.
Session Will Drag Along.
The killing of the recess joint
resolution in the assembly probably
means that the session will drag
along for several weeks during which
the waterpower bill will receive the
greatest attention. Practically moth
ing has yet been done to secure the
passage of a waterpower bill The
bobby fighting legislation on this sub
Ject is a strong one and if any bill is
given fair consideration it means {

assembly has adopted a joint resolu-
ton fixing June IS, as the date for
adjournment sine die. Judging from
the sentiment that is expressed in
the senate, this resolution will have
about the same chance in the upper
house as the senate resolution for a
recess had in the assembly.
Senator Husting and others are
now strongly in favor Of remaining
on the job until the legislative calen-
dar is cleared up and all of the big
bills have been thrashed out The
progressive forces intend to teach the
assembly a lesson by fighting any
move to hurry business and bring
about an EARL adjournment at the ex-
pense of any important legislation
now pending. The legislature may
not adjourn until sometime in August
or July.
Commissioner Ekern's Victory
Insurance Commissioner Ekern is
now head of the insurance depart
ment without any question existing
as to his right to serve. The deci-
sion of the supreme court was sweep
ing. There is nothing for the gov
ernor to do but accept the decision
as final. Mr.. Ekern has already
drawn over $4,000 for back salary.
The bill to appropriate $4,000 to his
attorneys will bring warm protest
from the McGovern men in the SEN
ate, although the outcome in the
house is not SO easy to anticipate.
Arguments for this bill will be
based upon the theory that Mr.. Ekern
was forced into litigation through
hasty action on the part of the gov
ernor who failed to make a case, and
for that reason the commissioner of
insurance should not be called upon
to bear the expense of his own de-
tense.

Housekeepers' Alliance to Start In.
stitution for C0IOred Girls.

Following in many details the fiction
story which was published a few weeks
ago in a leading periodical the House
keepers Alliance OF the District voted
at its meeting yesterday morning to start
training school for colored servants
January /, Although similar in these de-
tails. the idea is not a new one. but has
been in the process of formation for sew
eral years.
The training school will be conducted
on an economical basis. In connection
with the institution, business women OF
the District will be taken in as boarders
thus providing an income. II is esti-
mated that it will cost about 81, 500 per
annum to conduct the school besides this
income, making a cost Of about $50 for
each servant trained. Forty servants
Will be turned out every year.
The site for the training school has
not yet been selected, although several
sites are now under consideration. The
home of the training school will provide
for many rooms. Each girl taking the
course will be required to present a
physicians certificate testifying to good
health.
