WHO INVENTED OUIJA
Brothers Ask Baltimore Court 10
 Settle Dispute.
Brothers, Apparently Lacking Faith in Talking Board, Ask Judge
 to Decide.

BaltimOre.-At the moment that the Ouija board, which some years ago ex- cited the country and then virtually disappeared, has again come into the limelight throughout the world. two brothers are engaged in litigation here over the ownership of the patent.
 The trial is now in progress of the suit of Isaac Fuid, trading as the Southern Toy company who is ask ing for an injunction to restrain his brother, William FuId, from deriving pecuniary profits through the sale of the ouija board
 The plaintiff asserts that In 1904 he originated manufactured and placed upon the market the board under the copyright name Of the oracle and that later William Fuld started the manufacture of the ouiia board.
 William Fuld asserts that he and Isaac Fuld were in business together years ago. and that the ouija board is the original talking board, and claims that the oracle talking board manufactured by Isaac Fuld is copy of the one placed on the market by him.
 The Fulds about 2S years ago were in charge of wooden toy factory known as the Kennard Manufacturing company and the ouiia board was one of the devicessthey made to entertain the young. It quickly won tremen- dous popularity and so overshadowed the business of the concern that the plant was largely devoted to the mak- ing of the ouija board.

STILL USE LASH
 FOR OFFENDERS
Delaware Only State in Union Where Whipping Is
  Permitted.
CLAIM IT GETS RESULTS
Law Deslgnates the Number of Strokes for the Various FeIonies-No Dis tinction Made Between Petty
 and Grand Larceny

Wilmington. Del-The whipping but whipping still remains.
 Instead of strapping offenders to a post, they are forced to stand against wall. with their hands out stretched on either side.
 Delaware is the only state in which this form of punishment still is per mitted. In other states 1t was abol- ished long ago.
 In Delaware even the pillory was abandoned only recently.
 What Law Provides
 Here are the various felonies pun ishable by whipping, and the number of strokes that the law provides for each:
 e-stealing-Twenty lashes.
 Larceny-not more than twenty lashes.
 Arson in Second Degree-Not more than twenty lashes.
 Burning a Courthouse Where Of ficial Records Are Kept-Sixty lashes.
 House-breaking-Twe lashes.
 Highway Robbery-Twenty lashes.
 Wife-beating-No more than thirty lashes.
 Attempt to Ravish-Thirty lashes.
 In addition to the whipping, the of- lenses are also punishable by impris- onment.
 The most of the statutes merely provide penalties for the various of lenses with no provision that they shall not be inflicted upon women, public opinion in Delaware will no longer permit the flashing of women.
 A majority of the offenders to be punished in that manner are negroes, but white men suffer 1t as well. The whippings usually take place at the end of each court term or, if the terms last more than one week, the whippings occur at~the end of each week. They are administered by the warden of the jail.
 A curious feature of the law of Delaware Is that 1t makes no distinc- tion between grand and petty larceny; the theft of loaf of bread by hun gry man is technically as serious q crime as the stealing of $5,0OO by hardened criminal
 There is nothing in the law to pre- vent a judge from sentencing the for mer to be dashed on the bare back with a cato -nine-tails, made of leath- CT thongs.
 See Nothing Brutal.
 "I do not see anything brutal about our form of punishment" former Judge J. Frank Ball, counsel for and member of the County Workhouse commission, said to me. "The men are not beaten severely. for the strokes do not draw blood. No man who came to see one of the whippings. and who was unprejudiced could find anything to object to in them.
 "I do not know of any movement to abolish whipping, and l do not know any citizens who would favor such thing. We feel that we know what we are doing, and we don't want outsiders to dictate to us."
