Why Germans Were Popular.

German diligence, thoroughness and
readiness to consider the feelings of
those whom they care to conciliate, have
earned a desirable share of the com
merce of Latin America. This gain has
been notable in Central America; per-
haps greatest in Guatemala and Saliva
dor. One cause may have been de-
scibed by lawyer who said to me
lately:
IF we do prefer the German to the
Americans, it is because the Germans
marry our women, and make their
homes here. They show little of that
contempt for us which the Americans
display" - Edward Perry, in Indus
trial Management for November.

ANOTHER BOOZE QUIZ
Village Commissioners Will In.
quire Into Lookup Leakage
Result Will Be Given to Pubnc-scope
Of Investigation to Include Other
Things.

Another investigation into the disappear
ance of part of the wedding booze that
was seized from Valley street by police
men and stored in the village lookup will
be begun this week by the village commits
sioners, E. w. Gibson, Walter S. Stearns
and John T. Kaine.
The inquest held last week before As
sistant Judge Fred b. Pier and conducted
by Attorney General Herbert G.. Barber
and States Attorney o. b. Hughes was
private and the facts brought out by the
examination of witnesses is kept secret
The commissioners feel that they ought
to know the facts, inasmuch as the police
department is under their control, and
Chairman Gibson states that as the testi-
mony at the inquest is not available for
the commissioners they have decided to
conduct an inquiry themselves
They probably will begin the investga-
ton Saturday, and while the testimony
will be taken in private Chairman Gibson
states that the commissioners will make
a digest of the information obtained and
will give it out for publication for the
benefit of the public
Not only will an effort be made to fix
the responsibility for the loss OF the liquor,
which had been ordered sold by the munic-
ipal court, but the inquiry will be along
broad lines and will include a general in
vestigstion into the village police affairs.
1t will cover not only the methods pur-
sued in the past in the disposition of con-
traband liquor, where it was spilled and
in what manner, but matters of an entirely
different character will be gone into
The inquiry is likely to require several
days, and statement of what it brings
out will be awaited with interest.

SPRING LOVES TAKES SUDDEN
CHANGE FOR THE WORSE
Jenny" said the city editor to
the sob writer, this is the season
of the year when tbs said that the
young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love. Why tbs so has
not been discovered. Maybe tbs
the flowers that bloom in the spring,
ira la" or the mating birds high up
in the boughs of the tree, or the
spring fever. But whatever it may
be, and knowing you are not a psy-
chOlOgist or even if you were l want
no psychological dope-go forth and
get me a yarn that will SAVIOR of love
young, ideal and spring like. "
The sob writer was in a practical
frame of mind Have you any par
tiCular love affair in mind or do you
wish to seek out some smitten youth
and ask him what gives him his
symptOms?" she asked. Personally,
this calf love, which is all that spring
love is, makes me infinitely weary.
l do not see anything edifying in hav-
ing to watch the couple sitting in
front Of me in the moving picture
show looking into each others eyes
instead of on the screen and whis-
pering idiOtic nOthings that distract
my attention. Nor do l enjoy the
spectacle of a man caressing a girl
in a street car"
The city editor looked up from the
copy he was scrutinizing. Are you
here YETI" he asked. What's on
your mind? thought I told you to
get me a yarn of spring love"
Properly rebuked, the S. W. left.
"Oh, for a jaunt into the country,
and a good book under the bough of
a tree, and box of chocolates and
a soft pillow on which to rest my
head-and a months vacation" she
yawned. Get a'story on puppy love!

courtroom to another, seeking a
story that might answer the assign
ment. At last she was successful
and fastened to get in telephone
connection with the c. e. .
Il have the story you asked for"
she dTawled. Mrs. J. Brant was in
the court of domestic relations with
a peach of a black eye It was a
pippin. She got it last Saturday
from the affectiOnate fist of her hUs-
band and it has the most desirable
black and blue and purple and Cerise
cOlOring today.
1T seems that the lady had insist
ed on going to moving picture shows
and permitting her sisters to advise
her in matters marital This so af-
feCted the temperament of her young
husband that despite the fact that
their marriage is of quite recent vim
tage, he biffed her one. In extenUa-
ton he said he was in such a fright
full tempeTamental Upheaval at the
time that he connected with her eye
without having that exact location in
mind, otherwise the rainbow hues
might have been resplendant upon
her mouth instead this morning.
THE lawyer for the pugilistic hus-
band begged the mercy Of the court
that the two turtle doves might patch
up their little domestic tiff and the
wife might return to the bosom Of
her husband which is waiting to re-
ceive her, but Judge Newcomer said
he couldn't find it in his heart to
condemn the lady to return until the
memory Of the smuggling had faded
from her mind as well as her eye. In
the interests Of ,peace, however, he
continued the case five weeks to let
time do it's Earnest and the husband
is to pay SIS a week meanwhile as
peace saIve."
What has all this got to do with
