For MISUNDERSTANDING? You bet!
So we get our car and travel around
To see where the wonder can be found
We find the number and get view
And think the thing will really do.
We pull out our purse and pay the price,
Draw a long breath, think This is nice"
Wen just unpack and take rest
After all, maybe home isn't best?
Night comes when all seek sleep
Then the first of our troubles begin to creep.
They creep so lively and so fast,
We wonder how the night was passed.
Next, the landlady gets used to you
And tells you the things for you to do;
There's the hall to clean and the bathroom,

They love the dear little things. you know.
But on the chairs they must not go.
And everythings furnished so they tell.
But when you're settled it's not so swell.
Rats make their appearance at hah-past three,
When you're as sleepy as sleepy can be.
They begin to gnaw right through the floor

First hubby gives chase and then do 1,
But the pesby thing isn't so shy.
Near daybreak we find there's a hole in the

And FIJI it with irons to block the way.

whether Postmaster General Burleson
has authority to fix telephone rates
within the states were taken today
with the filing of a motion by the state
of Kansas asking permission to insti-

The proceedings grew out of the
order issued by the postmaster gem

ing new classifications and schedule
as well as increasing telephone toll
rates which the state of Kansas claims
are arbitrary, unlawful, unreasonable
and discriminatory.
In their brief the Kansas authorities
claim that the rates were put irto
effect by the Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone company, Without authority OF
law"
State officials claim that the .-oint
resolution under which the govern
ment took over control of the tele-
phone and telegraph lines did not con-
fer upon the postmaster general any
such powers and that il either the
resolution or the presidents proclama-
tion did confer such powers that it is
unconstitutional. The court is asked
to construe the powers conferred by
the resolution and to declare Post

Over Palace at Berlin.

Amsterdam, March, 10.-Spartacan
forces Sunday occupied the Berlin
suburb of Lichtenberg and murdered
sixty officers and soldiers in the police
station there, according to the Zeitung
Am Mittag.
The Lichtenberg police station had
withstood Spartacan attacks since
Tuesday.
Berlin, 1Iarch delayed. The
revolution appeared tonight to have
got beyond control of its leaders.
Altho the general strike was officially
called off yesterday afternoon, fol-
lowing a compromise agreement with
the government. fighting was still
going on in several parts of the city.
A strong minority, accusing the
strike leaders of treachery in playing
into the hands Of the government, was
demanding complete overthrow of the
cabinet and turning the country over
to control of the soviets. This senti-
ment was being fostered by fear of
hunger, well as money and prop
aganda allec ed to be furnished by
Russia.

Labor leaders are now trying to sep

of the workmen is closely connected.

but were assigned to patrol the region
around the AleXanderplatZ last Sum-
day. Meanwhile, the government
brought in volunteer troops from the
environs. This provoked jealousy and
ill-feeling among the guards, who

led to shooting. This was the signal
for 5000 guards to revolt and begin a
warfare which wrecked an important
business district and caused the heav-

estimated that 500 persons have been

Author of the War.

London, March 10.-"There is no
doubt that the former German enl-
peror was the first and responsible
author of the war. He absolutely
