Chicago.-In River Forest, where ma

was most pervasive.
At the police station, Chief F. w

mentary veal of his pet guinea pigs,
Viola Lorenzen, only woman desk SER
geant in the United States, was petting
the Belgian hare that the station span
lei had just mistaken for Sergeant
Lorenzen1s maltese cat.
The telephone bell rang. The SER
geant dropped the hare, seized the re-
ceiver, and heard:

"Where? asked the sergeant, al
ways notably composed in crises.
Just a Smattering of Clew.
"On the campus-O, please bur"
That was all. The connection ceased
abruptly. There was nothing to guide
the chief.
Suddenly his police instinct func-
toned. There was Rosary college,
the Catholic institution for girls. Be
ing a college it had a campus. Crank
ing his fiivver he leaped in, coaxed the
accelerator, and was off.
Before he arrives, let us explain
that his deduction was correct. The
Rosary girls were rehearsing for their
annual masque of seasons. Garlanded
in dandelions daisies, violets and 9th

about the greensward when the chiefs

whose costumes had not been denuded
when the chief appeared.
800, Lucy! 500, Lucy" he cried
coaxingly, maneuvering the flivver
alongside her. She stopped. The
chief extracted sturdy rope from
his tool kit, tied 1t about her neck,
and attached the other end to the rear
axle of the f1ivver. Lucy wagged her
tall contentedly.

Then he cranked the fiivver. leaped
in, coaxed the accelerator, and was
off--for a few feet only. Lucy had
sat down.
The chief eased into low speed and
moved forward with an imperceptible
but twenty-five horsepower motion.
Lucy declined to second the motion.

situation as much like 1892 when

Mr.. Germane says, among other

"The reaction of the republican

between the political temper of the
country then and now
Harrison inspired no enthusiasm
during the campaign. He talked we'll

himself to be one of the greatest

FEDERAL AID FOR
INJURED WORkMEN
United States May Come to the Aid
Of Washingtons Injured
WOrkmen.

Harley l.. Hughes, chairman of the
Industrial Insurance Commission, to-
day predicted that the state of Wash
ingtOn would be able to avail Itself
of the federal aid offered for the re-
habitation of injured workmen. In
accordance with bill that recently
passed Congress appropriating $780,
600 for this work throughout the
United States, the state will receive
money for vocational training by
matching an equal amount of state
money with the federal appropriation
The minimum amount appropriated
to each state is $4,000. This would
mean, if the state matched the amount
$4,000 would be available for re-
habilitation work next year. Action
must be taken before December OF
this year
The bill instructs the industrial In.
surance Commission and the Stale
Board of Education to cooperate in
carrying forward the rehabilitation
work. If the legislature can not take
action before the end of the year the
governor is empowered to accept the
act.
I'VE now have more than 100 men
who are classed as permanent total
disability cases." said Mr.. Hughes to.

this 100 could and would gladly learn
some trade or occupation which would

of injuries, have been forced to Gu
