why Do Pedestrians Get Mad7

Ernestly endeavoring to understand
human nature, the Hartford Courant
asks why pedestrians who are in danger
of being struck by an automobile get
their mad up when the horn sounds"
yet feel grateful to the locomotive en-.
gineer who blows his whistle TO give
warning of an approaching train The
the pedestrian feels that he has as much
right to the road as the drivers of an.
tomobiles and does not see why he
should be expected TO jump for his life
when the driver refuses to slow down.
Eventually automobiles may have roads
for their exclusive use, with specially
designated places at which humble pedes-
TRANS may cross, at grade or otherwise

Official report states that the precipi
tation for July in Vermont was only
LAT inches, which was the least for any
July since 1883. This precipitation of
LAT inches was against the normal of
3.7s inches for July, or considerably
more than one-half below normal. When
it is taken into consideration that June
was also a dry month and August has
started out on the same line, one can
readily understand why the reservoirs,
the brooks and the ponds are lowering to
an alarming extent.

b0L LSHEVIk SAYS GOVERNMENT IS
 |NTOLERAbLE
Predicts End of Regime if Allied Blockade is
 Continued.

Stockholm, March 29.--A frank avowal that the position of the bol- shevik government had become ab- solutely intolerable was made at the recent international bolshevik conference by M. Lunacharsky, min ister of education in the soviet gov ernment, according to Petrograd dispatch. The minister is sad to have confessed that the "socialist con- science of the very circles on which bolshevism is based is shaken at present"
 M. Lunacharskyk also admitted that the worse enemy of bolshevism was, the allied economic blockade and he even went so far as to predict the end of the bolshevik regime if the blockade continued.

MAY SHOW THAT. CHAMBERLAIN
 WAS DISGUISED
Maxwell Cross Ex amined By Defense. RECOGNIZED FLYER
 AT LILLE LATER
Two Testify That Parts of Chamber. lain's Report Are Highly
 Improbable.

London, March 29.-The court mar tial proceedings today of Captain Ed mund G. Chamberlain, of San An tonio, Texas, in connection with not ed aerial performances in company with British air forces last summer, the defense's cross examination of the famous British airman, Major R. S.. Maxwell, commanding squadron 54 at Toquin, at the time of Chamberlain's visit, indicated that an attempt would be made to show that Chamberlain had made an unofficial flight with the connivance of some British pilot friend disgusting himself in the lat ter's flying clothes.
 Major Maxwell, who testified yes- terday that Chamberlain flew no machine of his squadron and that he did not know any of the British off cers named in the report of Chamber lain's exploits admitted today that it was possible for a visitor to get away on such flight, but said he had such confidence in his pilots that he was certain he would be advised of any such incident, and, furthermore, would be able to check up any falsi fication in a pilots report.
 Stole Camel.
 The defense brought out that the witness had said to Captain Chamber lain at Lille, where he had met him at the officers mess in January last:
 Aren't you the fellow that stole camel (the name of a machine), from us at Touquin?" and also that he had told Lieutenant Commander F. B. Allan, United States navy, who had investigated the Chamberlain case, that no squadron commander would admit having let sailor fly unof- ficially as that would mean the loss of his majority and reduction to the ranks.
 Major Maxwell could not remember whether he had told commander AL Ian that he would like to help Cham berlain but could not. He knew of cases where pilots had claimed results that could not be verified officially.
 Answered Questions.
 Major Maxwell promptly answered questions which were fired from both sides regarding the minute details of his Touquin airdrone and the work of the squadron on the various days of Chamberlain's reputed visit to Tou- quin.
 The court has been greatly inn pressed by the knowledge of this work and the exact information pos sessed by the Royal Air Forces wit nesses and at the conclusion of Ma :.~ Mo,,u,.,11,c +octin,nny fho nrncQc11- tion gravely asked the witness if he had ever taken a course in memory training. He wished to show in the record to the reviewing authorities, he said, "what remarkable witness the court had before it."
 Captains G. H. Heakwill, and V. s. Bennett, of the Royal Air Forces, testified that certain parts of the re- port of Chamberlain's flight were highly improbable.

BROUGH'S DECISION
 RELIEF TO STATE

< Little Rock, March 28.- The state as rule. is relieved by the decision of Gov. Trough not to call an extra session.
 When he began a conference with the various departments and institu- tions, he found that the problem of cutting $5O0,000 out of the total ap- propriation of $3,299, ,528.08 did not present so great an obstacle as hal been forced. ~
 While some of the institutions will be unable to do their work as efficiently, or make as many improve ments as they had contemplated. it is said that they will not be serious ly crippled by the judicious outs that that have hGen made.

 As conference failed to disclose means of removing the obstacle, the amendment was finally referred to the prcmiers and the president as the court of last resort.

LEGISLATURE OF
 OKLAHOMA CLOSES
 EvENTFUL SESSION
Appropriations Amounting to Nearly $5,000,000
 Are Rushed Through.

Oklahoma City, Okla, March 29.- After appropriation measures, carry ing between $4,000,000 and $5,00O,000 had been rushed through in eleventh hour fashion, both branches of the Seventh Oklahoma legislature closed a seventy-day session at midnight to- night.
 Scores of other measures, includ- ing few appropriation bills, died on the calendars or in committees.
 The general appropriation biK, car rying more than $4,000000 for the maintenance of the state department and institutions, the bill appropriat- ing nearly $2O0,OOO for, the support of the state game department, includ- ing fish hatcheries and game pre- serves, were among the bills passed through at the last minute.
 The usual confusion attending the dying hours of session manifested itself early in the day, and in the house tension between members at times bordered on the breaking point. It was with some difficulty that the sergeant-at-arms maintain ed order and prevented encounters
 Mdny ~OI the DlilS pdSocu dt tho last moment were put through on ap- piled roll calls.
 The last day of the session, which proved to be the most turbulent of all, was devoted primarily to the dis position of detail work and the GUS tomary getaway" ceremonies. The house confined it's activities to action on the senate bills and conference reports. The senate devoted a large part of its time to the customary getaway" ceremonies, including the presentation of gifts to it's presiding officers,

RATES INCREASE TWENTY
 PERCENT APRIL 1
To Meet Increased Cost of Operation Occasioned
 By Wage Increase.

Washington Mar. 29-Increase of 20 per cent in domestic telegraph rates elective April 1, was announced today by Postmaster General Burles- on.
 The increase was agreed upon at a meeting of the federal wire board and was made necessary, Mr. Burleson's s announcement said, to meet the "1n- creased cost of operation occasioned by wage incerases now in effect, made during the past year. Mir. Burleson added that the advance would be 'tbarely sufficient" for this purpose.
 The order affects both government and commercial messages, but it was announced that there would be no increase in special press rates for newspapers or in charges for special wires leased 'hy press associations and newspapers.
 Under the order, however, con- mercial and government leased wires will be charged for at an advance of 20 per cent over existing rates wheth- CT such wires be furnished by tele- graph or telephone system under government, control

Explain Situation.

Paris, March 29.--(By the Asso- cfated Press. 1.-The military situa- tion at Danzig where negotiations are under way for the passage thru Germany of three Polish legions in tended for service with the Polish ar my is explained by military experts attached to the peace commission in a different manner from the ex- planation given in dispatches from Berlin.
 It is said the German purpose ap- pears to be to direct the movement of these troops to avoid unnecessary chance of friction or hostile collus- ions with the German populace in the region to be traversed. Therefore while Danzig was named in the arr mistice as the port of debarkation best adapted for the purpose, it is re-. garded by the military authorities as only proper that the entente com mander should consider any proposi- tion by the German authorities look ing to the use of other German ports as violation of the. armistice.
 So far as is known, nothing in the nature of an ultimatum has been de- livered and it is believed that the issue will be settled satisfactorily without breach.
 One course of delay has been found in the failure to secure quickly, the shipping necessary to convey the Eaiiah legions to the German port of desarkatisn. 1t will require thirty ships of 5000 tons each and two months time to complete the move ment, and negotiations have not been completed for furnishing this 1a roo aroOunt Of francnnrt

Another group opposes Brussels. Rome, although the cradle of international law, must be discarded, the conference having al- most unanimously decided that no great power shal lhaye the seat of the league.
