Keokuk people are asked to avoid

and to use the standard kind gener
ally used by business men instead Of
big ones, little ones ana odd shaped
ones.

circular from Washington which
says that better work Will be done

cases nor can they be tied with
other mail for delivery. This causes
much additional work for the postal
service, and causes proportionate
loss Of efficiency,
Envelopes and folders of dark
color are also taboo. Those contain

BERLIN LAUGHS
AT HER STRIKES
City Does Not Lose Temper and
Never Thinks of Idea of Using
Strike Breakers as
Remedy.
[By United Press

BERLIN. (By When 1t
comes to taking strikes Dhilosopni.
cally and good MISUNDERSTANDING
wins easily. She has been under.
going months of strikes OF various
kinds, and merely taking them AS
"all in lifetime" Particularly diff
cult for Berlin has been the trolley,
elevated and subway strike. But
Berlin didn't lose its temper over 1t.
1t merely walked to work or caught a
ride on improvised carrya!is and
didn't curse the luck except mildly
AS for violence, there was none
except in few isolated cases where
striking carmen were personally
abused.
Another strange part of the situa,
ton was the fact that though the
government could undoubtedly have
resorted to the American expedient
of strike-breaking In order to oper
ate some cars, this was not even
attempted.
Berlin had to get to its work and
play as best it could. or else stay
home.
The result was that thousands of
early risers did many miles more
walking for several days than they
had ever previously undertaken for
a lengthy period. Huge drays were
fitted up with seats or benches and
rich and poor crowded in, good
naturedly, while the drayman reaped
harvest beyond his fondest hopes.
Chairs or ladders were carried on all
these "busses" 80 that women pas
sengers could go aboard or alight
with ease.
The only thing that seemed to
worry Germany at all in the recent
strikes was the fact that the rail
road troubles threatened for time
to be sufficiently serious as to ham
per badly the transportation OF food
and coal This would have been de-
cidedly serious, for Berlin and, IN
fact, other German cities are liter
ally living from hand to mouth, both
as regards coal and food. A few
days complete tieup Of the railways
would mean starvation.

WEATHER MAN
CONFESSES 1T
July This Year Really Was Ono OF
the Hottest JuIys Ever Seen
Here, Exceeded Only
Twice Before.

July was really hot and dry month
at Keokuk.
Public opinion on this is reinforced
by the monthly report by Observer
Gosewisch, of the weather bureau sta
ton here.
The mean temperature Of July, 1919,
was 81 degrees, which has been ex-
ceeded only twice in forty-eight years.
That was in 1901, when 1t was IS, and
the Keokuk high record In all its his
tory was made, and in 1916, when the
mean for the month was "a. The
highest the thermometer got here In
July was 100 plus ON July 81. and the
lowest It got was 81, on July Z.
The normal mean for the month OF
July here is II degrees, and since 1t
was 81 this year, July 1918, was
an especially hot month. II the month
of July this year had been normal.
the thermometer would have been four
degrees lower every day. which would
have made quite difference.
The rain fall in July was not quite
two and a half inches, and the only
rains were two, one on July 8, and
the other on July 81, each giving over
an inch of rainfall The. normal rain
fall for July here is over four inches,
but a number Of Julys in the last half
century have been dryer than this one.
like 1885, when only two-thirds Of an
inch of rain fell in the whole month.
There was not an entirely cloudy
day in July this year, and only ten
days that were partly cloudy. There
were nine thunderstorms registered
by the weatherbureau station at Keo-
kuk. There was a trace Of rain on
five days, of fifth Of an inch or
less, in addition to the two real rains.
Snow on ground at end OF month:
None.-That is one item in the report

SUPERB SUBURB
AT BRIGHTON
Nine Hundred Houses to Be Built
on Modern and Artistic
Lines In Orchard
Setting.
lBy United Press.1


LONDON-(By MaiD.-It is said
that the average English middle
class home is so ugly it ought to be
burnt down, and Englishmen are just
beginning to realize this fact. with
the result that all over England plans
are afoot to build model villages and
model suburbs.
Brighton is the first to lead the
way. They are building super
suburb, consisting of 900 houses, so
planned that there will not be more
than ten to the acre. This will allow
each house a garden of sixteen rods.
or $40 feet.
The suburb is to be built in an
orchard setting. Fruit trees will line
the roadways. There will be no
walls. the gardens being divided by
hedges. There will be recreation
grounds, al1otments and common
Fairgrounds. The houses are to be
built on modern and artistic lines,
the internal arrangements being the
last word in house comfort.
The only fly in the ointment is the
question Of the small boys. Will they
be model enough to inhabit model
suburb, or will they help themsel
to the fruit that abounds in the pub
lie thoroughfares? 1t is hoped they
will become imbued with a great re-
spect for communal rights and thus
grow up first-class democrats

Times as Many as

ago that month, there were only
thirty-three similar papers placed on
record.
The various real estate dealers in

the increase in number of deeds filed
this July over the number last July.

ALIEN SOLDIER

Oscar Sakowitch has decided that
q country worth fighting for is one
worth becoming citizen Of He ap-
pealed to Judge w. l.. Mcnamara In
the superior court, yesterday after
noon to help him become citizen of
the United States.
This request for naturalization of a
discharged soldier proved a new one
for Judge Mcnamara, so he called
Albert Vollers, clerk of the district
court, who has all the data on natural
ization. Clerk Vollers has recently
received instructions for just such a
case, SO he came to the rescue OF the
young soldier and the jurist.
All that Sakowich has to do is to
give the data of his service in the
army. both in this country and over
seas and the date and place of his en-
listment and discharge. Clerk Vol
lers will obtain these facts from Sake.

them to Commissioner Bevington Of

be made citizen Of the United States.
The new act provides that this
method of naturalizing discharged
alien soldiers shall be in force for a
year.
Sakowich went overseas with his
division at a time when the Yanks
were badly needed, and there was no
time to check UP and naturalize all Of
the foreign born soldiers. He was
asked by his commanding officer II
he wished to apply for citizenship
papers and replied that he did. How
ever, the war department and the
ships worked faster than the immigra-
ton bureau, and Sakowich went
across without getting the coveted
papers. Now that he has returned to
this country he wants to become a
citizen Of the United States at once.
Sakowich lives at Twelfth and
Fulton streets. He returned to Keo-
kuk few days ago, wearing three
overseas service chevrons denoting
eighteen months service. He was with
an infantry regiment in the Fifth
division, and wears the red diamond
insignia on his left shoulder.

clusion of all local or resident
aliens, or in other words, our laws
are good enough for Greeks and
aliens to come here and work and
be protected the same as our
laboring citizens and others, but
il they should be killed or die here
while they had their relatives or
where ever they might be, then
our courts and our lawyers must
not be trusted.
Some gentleman from Chicago
with supposed brass collar from
Greece, must step in and tell our
courts and resident administrator
to get out, and let him in, and II
any local lawyer wants to take the
job, this Greek consul or their
special deputized agent must po-
litely tell us that their consul does
not allow large fees in conditional
cases, but whatever is, one-half
must go to this special agent-and
there buclSed on the proposition,
and set about to have this act OF
the 37th general assembly modi-
fled or repealed.
The latter Is the simple, ordi-
nary thing to do. Its clause and
special legislation are against the
policies Of our laws and against
the interest of the American law
yer who is willing to take his
chances of getting business on his
merit, and not at the back Of the
brass collared consul.
Our laws as they stood before
this act Of the 9th general as
sembly were precisely like nearly
all the laws of the states, gen.
orally, and were sufficient, both
under our constitution and general
laws, to enable our courts to ap-
point an administrator to take
charge of the estate, and, more
especially to appoint one to collect
the damages due the estate, and
said damages to be paid to the
living heirs, clear from creditors,
and not to the general estate at
all
Our constitution is just as lib
eral to foreigners and aliens as to
ourselves, and SO far as ! am con-
cerned, am not especially con
cerned about foreigners or resi-
dent aliens using our laws for
their benefit, but that benefit
must be, as directed by some for
eign consul or otherwise. 1t Is
one of the "entanglements with
foreign nations" that l am op-
posed to.
l take it, the legislature, prob
ably, as Senator Frailey writes
me, passed such laws as We con-
templated, but simple way is.
to leave this chapter entirely out
OF the revision, and If necessary,
directly repeal it
am very much in favor OF
American courts and American
LAWYERS, and feel that they should
not be drawn under suspicion, and
must have the guidance and su-
preme directions of some foreign
lawyers to show the justice they
have done alien defendants.
There is no trouble under the
treaty, in the consul filing his
papers az power Of attorney, show
ing his right to take this money
and transmit it to the rightful
owner. as that has been the force
all along, but our own courts have
denounced, and about all the other
courts, the right Of any foreigner
to come at his mere will, and dis
place our regularly appointed ad'
ministrator, and become plaintiff,
and take charge Of the case as ii
the state Of Iowa did not exist.
l am very much interested In
this matter, and trust what l have
said will receive your kind at
tention, and we fill all work IN
the harness together.
Very truly yours,
