L
ed the examinations Of the applicants
Advised to Study
Many Of the candidates were asked
what papers they read and it devel-
Oped that the Wisconsin Farmer and
the Ladysmith News Budget were the
popular papers with them. One ap-
plicant got stuck on the question,
why is the Fourth of July holiday :
The examiner tried TO help him out by
sYggesting the hQliday of independence
in his native country but without sue
cess. A subject of Great Britain who
was born in Chicago and raised in this
country was advised TO study up on
the government of this country and
come back again for another eXaminA-
ton. The Witnesses Of ono applicant
testified they had known him for .
yeaFs and 30 years, respectively: lie
was admitted to citizenship after all
these years ia this country: Another
man is to be admitted if his army card
is found to be O. Il: 4 man made the
mistake of applying in Rusk county
when he should have applied in Chip
peWa county: One candidate was
given another chance after he had
stated that congress made the consti-
tuition. \ candidate from Austria sail
that the town chairman makes the
laws and is the ''hass," The applica-
tion Of Que Foreigner who admitted he
had been in court for his final papers
five on six times, was denied. 1t really
was his seventh try. The judge en-
deavored to impress upon all of them,
as at previous examinations, the neces-
sity of studying our form of govern
ment and to speak English at home
and read papers printed in the English
language.

TAX RATE Low
IN LADYSMITH
Mayor Luell Discusses City's
Finances at Chamber of Com
merce Luncheon

That the money raised by taxation
in Ladysmith was the lowest per cap
tia of any city in the state carrying on
improvement work, was the startling
declaration made by Mayor George
Luell before c ha III Der of Com
merce members and invited guests
Wednesday, following the MONDAY
luncheon. Mr.. Luell compared the per
capita tax of many Wisconsin villages
and cities with that Of Ladysmith AMI
made the point that I.adysmith had
no kick coming in the matter OF taxa
ton.
The mayor gave some interesting
figures concerning the city's finances.
The statement that he read for 1920
shows that it costs Ladysmith just
about the same amount to run the
schools as the city. The state comes
in for only small share of the city's
taxes. $6241.4 Al County taxes, includ-
ing county and federal road taxes cost
Ladysmith $24.GG7.SS for 1920.
The school tax is $40 2S1 .05, of which
S3S.315. 20 is for the city schools and
S3965.35 for the county schools.
Where City Money Goes
1t rs interesting to note where the
city money goes. From the report
read by the mayor it is seen that the
S42.4J3.7S. cost of running the city fol-
the year, il made up Of the following

COLOR signals
TO MARK ROADS
(IBy Associated Press)

TRENTON, N. J., April install
lation of a national system of color
signals for the control of motor
traffic on national and state high
ways, similar to the standardized
use of red, yellow and green in rail
road systems, is suggested by high
way officials of New Jersey, who
have approved a bill for adoption of
the plan in this state.
The bill, which contains measures
approved by the committee on stand
ards Of the American association of
State Highway Officials, would have
red signs to indicate first degree
danger such as railroad crossings,
dead ends of roads or lift bridges
yellow indicating second degree dan
ger at curves or grades. and green
showing moving or traffic danger
only to be used at road intersec-
tions.
Many national organizations inter-
ested in the move to reduce the an.
nual automobile toll have expressed
their endorsement OF the bilps pro-
posals
Recent investigation, it is pointed
out, shows that many leading Ameri
can cities have failed to unite on
a uniform use Of color in highway
signaling Red, for instance, mean.
ing first degree danger or an abso-
lutte stop signal in one town Is
used in the next town at place
where green should be employed

BANDITS RIFLE MAIL
SACKS, ESCAPE IN AUTO

CHICAGO, April 7.--Indications
today we're that the loot obtained in
the mail robbery at Dearborn street
railway station yesterday would ag-
gregate between $5OO,0O0 and $780,
900. Evidence that the loss would
be large was obtained when the po-
lice recovered a mail pouch that
had been ripped open and rifed and
then thrown aside 1t contained
nearly 100000 in currency. Other
sacks still are missing.
The robbery was executed with
rapidly by four bandits. One story
was that the quartet had been play
ing ball on a lot near the station,
and suddenly rushed over with re-
volvers and held up station mail
truck employees and demanded par
ticular registered mail pouch which
still was on a mail truck, They fed
with the sack to a waiting automo-
bile. One of them fired one shot.
They leaped in the machine and es-
capped.
