by Norway and Denmark for fear that,
II broken. an actual blockade would
follow. But In the case Of Sweden the
British blockade II enforced BY the
British navy, by seizure Of neutral
ships bound for Swedish ports with
merchandise and by the detention Of
goods consigned to Sweden in English
ports. Some Scandinavian ships en-
route to Sweden from South America
have been recently entirely emptied of
their cargoes and sent to their home
ports as paupers of the sea by British
warships, says an Associated Press
dispatch from Stockholm. There are
many evidences of increasing resent
ment against Great Britain on the part
OF the Swedish people. The newspa-
pers are beginning to comment more
and more freely upon what they say Is
a practice Gin violation of all interna-
tional lava fragrant misuse of power
against the unquestionable rights of
weaker nations" Swedish government
officials and Swedish merchants alike
do not hesitate to say they have hoped
against hope the United States would
take stand In behalf Of the neutral
countries which would bring about a
more reasonable enforcement of the
blockade. They have protested in vain
to Great Britain. Scandinavian news
papers and officials argue that the
United States has most potent
weapon to use against the allies to
bring about "a more lawful conduct Of
the; blockade" They firmly believe
that If the United States government
would threaten to forbid the export Of
munitions of war and to declare I'M
lawful any loans to belllgerent nations
England quickly would be brought to
terms.

Harvard STUDENT Who Work.

Statistics show that more Harvard
students have sought work while study
Ing this year, and fewer Of the appli-
cants have found 1t than previously.
Earnings also have totaled a smaller
amount. Such facts tell their own story
Of the effect Of the war on the nom
belligerents Of a comparatively pros
porous region Of country. The list OF
callings to which the lads turn shows
how versatile is the American youth,
and how he puts pride behind him II
he foresees profit that spells tuition
bills paid. There is no such word as
degrading In the lexicon Of youth
save in moral sense. Many Har-
ward man will take any job where

Norway.

In the last number Of the periodical,
"Sociale Meddelser," ALI Eriksen pub
fishes table which sets forth In n
striking manner the enormous increase
In the cost Of living in Norway. Meat
prices have jumped 70 per cent be-
tween July, 1914, and May, 1915, and
pork prices have increased 60 per cent
during the same period. Butter, mar
garine. and eggs have had an average
increase of q per cent. Flour, rice,
and peas were 76 per cent higher last
May than In July 1914. Coffee was
only 3 per cent higher, but sugar was
SO per cent higher. Petroleum was
selling at 4S per cent higher than two
years ago. The greatest increase,
however, has been in fuel, the price
of coal and coke having risen 100 per
cent, to more than double Its former
level. The average increase Of prices
of u articles named In the table, prac-
tcally all necessities of life. was be-
tween 40 and so per cent.
An agitation has been started In Nor
way, says press report, to induce peo-
pie to resume wearing wooden shoes,
as part Of the campaign against the
high cost Of living. 1t is pointed out
that In Denmark, Belgium, Holland,
and France wooden shoes are used to a
great extent, and that they are used
more extensively In all the other Euro
pean countries, England excepted, than
In Norway.

Judge Hugh Fisher Would
Change Garnishment Statute.
Present Law Works Hardship
on the Poor Man.
COSTS EAT UP PAY CHECKS
Man Should Have SIS Per Cent

Legislature May Be Asked to
Draft a New Bill.

A complete rehash of the garnish-
ment laws of Kansas is advocated by
Hugh Fisher. retiring judge of the
court of Topeka. Four years in a
court which handles half dozen gar
nishment suits week have convinced
Judge Fisher that there is something
wrong with the laws now on the stat
ute books and he has some ideas on
the subject. He has discussed his
plans with members of the Shawnee
delegation and the probabilities are a
bill viii, be introduced covering them.
z Judge Fisher would make it posi-
sble for the working man who is deep
.ly involved ana honestly desires to pay
out to pay into the court is per cent
of his earnings each month and avoid
all garnishment suits and all court
costs.
z Under the present laws a man with
"a family may hold all of his salary
except 10 per cent against any gar
snishment because of debt. Only one
.garnishment may be run each month.

rest are out in .he cold.
S. Judge Fisher proposes that the law
be changed in such manner that the
debtor may pay into the court 15 per
cent of his earnings for the month
and that such payment shall bar any
garnishment that month. He would
have the law drawn in such manner
that the 5 per cent would be pro-
rated among al creditors; that as
long as the debtor continued to make
the deposit of 1 per cent of his earn
-ings each month he would be exempt
from garnishment and court costs. He

A CROSSING LAW
Utilities Commission Has Plan
to Reduce Road Accidents.
Legislature Will Be Asked to
Give 1t Power to Act.
TO MAKE RAILROADS ACT
Always Danger Where Tracks
Cross i'm Timber.
Many Accidents Not Caused by
Carelessness of Victims.

The Kansas public utilities commits
sion is going to ask for some author1ty.
from the next legislature for the reg
ulation of grade crossings. The conn.,
mission has been investigating good
many grade crossing accidents in the
past two years and it has found n
need for some regulation
The commission has no idea of abol-
ishing the grade crossings in the state
This would be a big waste of money
and entirely useless as there are not
many dangerous places along the rail-
roads. But these dangerous places
should be removed and there is no
general law that can accomplish TINS
The only way to handle the matter IS
to give the commission authority TO
make regulations about grade cross
ings, picking out the bad ones ana
directing what should be done IN ev-
ery instance.
Where a railroad and wagon road
cross in level country and where any
one can see a long distance up and
down a track there is no real need for
abolishing grade crossing But
where the track is in a deep cut or
curves around a hill or is hidden by
timber or hills there is danger. A good
many grade crossing accidents are the
fault of the drivers of motor cars who
think it is smart to beat a train to
a crossing. There are a good many
accidents of this kind in the state
There also are good many acci-
dents where the motorists were not
to blame as often times they exercised
ordinary prudence in approaching the
track, and still were struck by trains
The trains were hidden by hills or
timber were a curve and the
motorists did not hear the train conn.,
ing Some of the railroads have elimI-
mated the worst grade crossings on
] their lines while others have refused
to do anything and will not do any
, thing to eliminate the danger unless
compelled to do so by the commission
or the courts
