Plets and scots.

In his Dictionary Of Phrase and
Fable, the learned Rev. DIR. e. Cob
ham Brewer. writes upon Picts and
Scots: "PicE Is not the Latin picu
(paiqted people). AS Picts and Scots
are always mentioned together, there
is no reason why one name should be
Latin and the other Gaelic. Scot is
the Gaelic 'sgod dweller in woods
and forests), and PIct is the Gaelic
pictliSt (freebooters), the two being
equivalent to foresters and free,
booters.''

Simple Explanation.

Why is It that fishes make no dis
turbance when swimming through the
water, although there is rushing
noise when a stone Is flung Int This
ia explained by the f@"t that. In the
latter case, 1t is the filling Of the cav
fly that is made, rather than the mere
impact, which causes the noise. where
as the body of the fish is 80 shaped
that when IT moves through the water
It leaves no such cavity behind 1t and
therefore there Is no disturbance.

the council failed in the annual tax

CANADIAN DELEGATE
STUNS THE LEAGUE
Newton w. RoweII Protests Against
Business Being Turned Over to
European Countries.


Geneva-Plans proposed for the for
nation of the technical organizations
of the League of Nations, dealing with
finance, health and transportation,
were attacked at today's session of
the leagues assembly by Newton Wes
ley Rowell, former president of the
Canadian privy council. These plans,
the Canadian ex-mihister declared,
tended to take such organizations out
of the hands of the assembly, which
should control them, and throw them
under the influence of Europe through
the impossibility of the non-E European
nations sending their best men to
three or four conferences annually.
Fifty thousand Canadian soldiers un-
der the sod in Europe is the price
Canada has paid for the European
craftsmanship which drenched the
continent in blood" Mr.. Rowell ex-
claimed. The Canadian ex-ministers'
energetic Intervention in debate took
the assembly by surprise. Most of the
European delegates gave no signs of
recovery from their establishment as
the Canadian delegate concluded, but
he was warmly applauded from all the
other baaches.

dollar mark. The past year has
brought lot of public improvements
and more than hundred thousand
dollars will be placed on the tax roll
as collections of these special assess
ments. The assessments cover the
building of sewers, the construction
and repair of sidewalks, much of the
work that has been done in the paw
ing of new streets. Many of these
payments are spread over a term Of
years and one-ffth of the total will
be due from the property owners
when the tax is collected this year.
Bonds have been issued against the
property for the amounts and the
bonds will be paid off in five years.
The fact that the bonds sold by the
city some time ago may yet be taken
by the bankers may prove big aid
to the city in providing funds for
further improvements in the coming
year. 1t was stated this morning that
the trouble over the bridge bonds
might be cleared up and the bonds
validated and sold

considering resubmitting the Versail-
les peace treaty to congress, sending
it with a special message ION the sub
ject of Americas foreign relations, it
was intimated in administration quar-
ters today. Information that this
might be done came from officials who
yesterday declared that Wilson was
not contemplating such a step. The
text of the treaty is still in the pres

it was rejected by the senate the last
time, according to officials here. He
is therefore in a position to resubmit
it at any time he sees fit. The presi-

LIlEMAN HURT
in FREAK FALL
Emil Fietz is Probably Fat
ally Injured in Electric
al Accident.
A LIVE WIRE

Emil Fietz, aged twenty years, an
electrician in the employ of the Wis
consin Gas and Electric company, is
lowering between life and death at the
Kenosha hospital today as result of
injuries received just after three
o'clock Tuesday afternoon when he
was hurled twenty feet by touching a
guy wire carrying current of more
than 2200 volts. The shock to his sys-
tenn together with injuries received
from the fall may cause his death.
His injuries are battling the physicians
in charge but it is believed that he is
suffering from fractured spine.
Touched Live Guy Wire.
Fietz was engaged in stringing dead
wires on poles recently put in by the
company near the corner of Rowland
and Selleck avenues. He had climbed
about twenty feet to the top of one
of the higher poles and reached out
to hold on a guy wire which was sup
posed to be carrying no current The
wire, due to some defective insulation
or to some other cause not yet de-
termined by the company, carried
heavy current and Fietz due to the re-
action from it, was hurled to the
ground distance of twenty feet.
Several fellow workmen saw the
accident and hurried to his assistance.
He was taken Immediately to the
Kenosha hospital where he revived
consciousness after short time
Cause is Mystery.
The officials of the electric COM
pany declare that the cause of the
accident is mystery. It is said that
every precaution had been taken to
cut off the current from the guy wire
and because it was thought that they
We're dealing with dead wires, Fietz
had taken hold Of the guy wire which
carried the heavy current.
Fietz has been in the employ Of the
company for two years and was known
as careful electrician. He was not
an old lineman, however, and the work
to which he had been assigned was be-
lieved to be not hazardous. His home
in Kenosha is at 675 Grover street.

Mrs. Josephine COlIender
Has Unusual Complaint
in Divorce Demand.
HUSBAND Is IN ASYLUM

Through her attorney, Calvin Stew
art, Mrs. Josephine Collender filed
suit in the municipal court this morn
ing demanding the annulment of her
marriage to John Collender. The mar
riage was celebrated at Waukegan on
October 30, 1918 and Mrs. Collender
declares that she was led to enter into
the marriage ceremonial by false
statements of Collender. She was
formerly the wife OF Clayton Waegli,
who is now a patient in the Kewaunes
county asylum for the insane and he
has been an inmate of the asylum for
some time. In her complaint the
plaintiff declares that before she was
married to Collender that she was told

been sent to the asylum gave her free
dom from marriage bonds which had
been contracted in July of 1916.
Told Husband Was Dead.
Mrs Collender declared that she had
later heard that she had been misled
in her marriage and that she had
sought to break away from the ties
with Collender. She declares that she
was threatened and that she was told
that her former husband had died in
the asylum in the Wisconsin county.
Then Attorney Stewart began an in
vestigation and he received a letter
on Tuesday informing him that Waegli
was alive and very much alive.

unusual ever filed in Kenosha county
and it is to come up for hearing in
court at an early date.

KENOSHA CABLE
PROVES WINNER
Elevator Gable Made by
MacWhyte Company is
Great Success.
THE MARKET

Another Kenosha-made product, the
MacWhyte special traction elevator
cable, a steel wire rope manufactured
by the MacWhyte company of Keno
sha, has made good in the industrial
world in big way, according to the
reports which were made public today.
This new addition to the wire cables
manufactured by the Kenosha COM
pany was recently placed on the mar
ket and in a short time has come to
be recognized in that field of building.
Recent contracts signed by the com
pany to furnish this cable for the new
Ritz-Carleton Hotel in Atlantic City
and several other large buildings now
being erected in the east, showed that
the product had won place in eastern
markets.
The MacWhyte company designed
and produced the elevator cable few
months ago and presented it to the
builders Of elevators as a long-needed
innovation in that form of steel rope.
Tt was first introduced in Chicago
where it built up such an enviable
reputation in comparatively short
time that it became in demand in
other markets.
Used in Many New Buildings.
In addition to several installations
lin some of the older buildings in Chi
cago, such as The Fair store, Mandel
Bros, Carson Pierre Scott & Co., Lex
ington Hotel, Cooper-Carlton Hotel,
Atlantic Hotel. Kimball building, Sears
Roebuck & Co., and list of others
too numerous to mention, there is un-
der completion in Chicago now cou-
pie of big buildings which will be
fully equipped with MacWhyte spe-
cial traction elevator cable.
The new Wrigley building at the
foot of Kinzie street, overlooking the
new link bridge, is equipped through
out with MacWhyte special traction
elevator cable on even the freight ele-
vators. The total number of feet of
elevator cable in this building is ap-
proximately 10000.
The MacWhyte company was award
ed the contract last Saturday for all
| OF the elevator caDieS on the elevators
which will be installed in the new
Sheridan Plaza Hotel in Chicago
which is under construction, which
will be equipped with five Wheeler
elevators which will be made safe by
the use of MacWhyte special traction
elevator cable.
In the new Drake Hotel, just being
completed, there will be found about
$4,000 feet of MacWhyte special trac-
tion elevator cable. The new Tribune
building is also equipped with this
type of cable.
Said to Have No Equal.
The MacWhyte special tractor ele-
vator cable has gained good foothold
