Celebrations Arranged
Mayor Hylan appointed a large COM

ebrations in the public schools, at
which the signing of the armistice and
the prospect of an early and victorious
peace would receive fitting attention.
In the evening there are to be count
less dances, and most Of them are COM

and blue.
But just by way of final reminder
to the men in uniform, the red circle
of the War Camp Community Service

INDEMNITY COMPANY SAYS
SETTLEMENT WAS RIGHT

An article from the Junction City
Union published a few days ago said
that the agent of the Hutchinson
Central Indemnity Co., settled a
claim of Louis Fuller, killed while
driving a motor car, for $50 and that
it was too little. In letter from the
company it's manager says that the
provisions of the insurance contract
made uninsurable operators, chauf-
feur, mechanician or occupant while
riding or racing or in preliminary
speed tests in public or private" He
adds:
eve have absolute and conclusive
proof when Mr.. Fuller was killed
they we're racing and going at rate
of speed far in excess Of the State
law. therefore,, they assumed volun-
tarily hazard that is not insurable
by any company in the United States
barring none, because the same Man
ual is used by all companies. Now
in justice to everybody, how could
we settle this claim other than what
we did by the xxx pro-ration?"

MANY FIGHTS OVER
 WHO OWNS CORKS IN EMPIRE OF GERMANY

AMSTERDAM, Jan 1.-The hum- ole cork bottle stopper has risen to high honor in Germany. Heads have been broken in restaurants oy- sr the question who owns the cork, he proprietor, the head waiter, or he customer who orders the bottle )f wine. The magistreal verdict has been returned that while the head waiter has a right to the cork by tradition and custom, he must not 1isobey his master the proprietor hould the latter demand it being handed over to him. The customer, t appears, has no claim at all. High prices are being paid for corks, es- pecially for those of champagne bot tles.
