CRUELEST JOKE
OF APRIL FIRST
Jury Gives Olsen Verde
of $4,000 But Holds
Company Not Liable.
APPEAL IS EXPECTED

1t remained for the circuit court jury
to play the cruelest April Fool joke in
Kenosha and the victim of the joke
was Michael Olsen, a broken man, Grip
pied for life, who had sought damages
for his injuries from the Northwest
ern Railway company. The jury ap-
parently awarded Olsen a verdict OF
$4,000 damages but on reading the
verdict it was found that the agents
of the company were not negligent.
"0lsen can't collect a dollar under
this verdict" was the comment of A.
L. Drury, attorney for the plaintiff
and he indicated that an appeal would
be taken from the decision of the jury.
May Call Verdict Perverse.
It is possible that the verdict of
the jury will be held "perverse" by
Judge Belden. He was not in court
when the verdict was returned and he
will have his first action on it on
Monday morning. The members of the
jury went out late Friday afternoon
and considered the case until three
o'clock this morning. They found that
the. agents of the company had used
due care in handling the engine which
is alleged to have run down Olsen on
November 14th, last, that the, bell was
rung continuously from the time the
engine was started. They also found
that Olsen was not guilty of contribu-
tory negligence.

Split MILK

Some people cling to a disappointment as
if it were the pearl of great price. Fooled in
a cherished plan, they NOPE and lament their
hard luck with a constancy that is worthy of a
better cause.
This is a great mistake. No good can pos
sibly come Of, it; instead much harm through
the waste of time, energy and enthusiasm So
much of the worlds enthusiasm is lost in cry
ing over split milk, it is small wonder that there
are so many mediocre people in the world.
That is something the wise never do. Of
course, there is always the first shock Of the
which means the altering Of
our plans, and for the moment things may look
dark. But once we see the positive necessity
of abandoning plan, we should do it and begin
at once to cast about for better one. More
often than otherwise. we shall find that. after
all, the disappointment was really blessing in
disguise.
How many a boy or girl in the teens has
been broken-hearted at the sudden termination
of the most wonderful love affair in the world,
only later to thank all their lucky stars that
they escaped the ENHANCEMENT.
Disappointment is simply a signal for shift
ing our sails according to the kindly breezes
that are bearing us toward our coveted goal in
life. That's ALL

Farmers Ask for
DrOuth Seed Loans
(By Associated Press)

Fargo, N. D.--Authorizatio by con-
gress of 100000 in seed loans to
drouth stricken farmers of the north
west during the closing days of the
66th congress was something new in
federal legislation, according to M. o.
Hall, who worked for passage Of the
act. Opposition was raised in congress
on the ground that the measure would
establish government policy of loan
ing money directly to private individ-
uals. "You can't do it." "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, ex-speaker of the house, told
Mr.. Hall, according to the latter. "I'm
the oldest man here and I have never
seen such a thing done" The bill
passed however with Mr. Cannon vot-
ing Eyes" Mr.. Hall, founder of the
town of Mohall, N. D., came from his
home in San Diego, CAL, when he heard
of the plight of farmers in sections of
his old state. His work, both in this
state and in Washington, was largely
responsible for passage of the loan
measure, according to Senator E. F.
Laid of North Dakota.

Cleveland Has Many
Unique Old Houses
Adolph Wurth and Other Antiquarians
Conduct Unique Business in
Cleveland.

Cleveland, O.-Cleveland, one Of the
largest manufacturing cities in the
country, has many odd industries and
freak" factories scattered throughout
the city. Adolph Wurth, whose sign
above his "studio" door proclaims him
landscape gardener and birdhouse ar
chitect, builds birdhouses Of all kinds,
from big ones made of tree trunks for
owls, to little, ones made Of cocoanut
shells for wrens. The interior of the
studio is lined with birdhouses of all
shapes and sizes and other birdhouses
are nailed to the exterior of the build
ing, from a 14-suite apartment for rob-
ms to a little room followed out of a
tree trunk for a bluebird Thomas L.
Fairfield makes his living a good
one at that-by raising canaries in his
stone cottage in which bird cages liter
ally cover the walls and hang from the
ceiling. George Lejko makes violins
in little shop on Lorain avenue, all
hand made and hand carved from
spruce or maple.

GASOLINE PRICES SHOULD DROP

The price of crude oil, from which your gas
cline is made has been cut in two But you
haven't noticed any such drop in the price of
gasoline. Here and there the refners have
Topped off cent or two, but in the main you
are paying the old high prices.
Three months ago, refiners and pipe line
companies were paying oil producers 500 a
barrel for Pennsylvania crude oil. This price
has dropped to SO barrel.
The price of all other gasoline producing
crude oil has dropped correspondingly, with
the exception of California oil, the price of
which has been given backbone by the posi-
bility of mild oil and gasoline shortage in
Pacific Coast states.
The refners say that they can't cut gasoline
prices until they get rid of huge oil stocks
bought at high prices But stocks Of crude oil
on hand in the United States Jan. L. 1921,
totaled only 137000,000 barrels, according to
the American Petroleum Institute
That was less than four-months' supply
and is practically used up now.
When crude oil prices collapsed, the huge
tankage in the middle west was nearly empty.
Refners and pipe line companies are now filling
upStheir tankage with cheap oil - which means
cheaper-cost gasoline.
Stocks Of gasoline on hand are less than a
three-months' supply But no danger of a
shortage. The oil market is glutted Thou
sands of oil wells are closed dcwn--not being
pumped - because the pipe line companies say
they can't take all the production.
Gasoline, according to veteran oil producers,
should now be selling for an average of not
more than 10 cents gallon. Some oil men say
IA cents would yield the refners snug profits.
Americans in 1920 consumed, 1926 1000
gallons Of gasoline Consumption now is at
about the same rate, despite many not driving
their cars.
On that basis, every penny-cut in gasoline
would save car owners $40, 1854 $50 a year. Like
wise, every penny of inflated price of gasoline is
a levy of $42,564,280 year on automobile
users.
Gasoline is averaging about q cents gallon
in the United States If, as oil producers claim,
this is about 10 cents a gallon too much the
excess profits in the gasoline industry are cost
ing us at the rate of about S400,000,0 900 year.
Refners say that they must keep gasoline
high because they can't market all other by
products Of crude oil. But those by-products-
ubricating oil and the like-are being stored
for future sale
Since when must gasoline users subsidize a
dead lubricant-oil market?
When will the gasoline price bubble burst?
Is buyers strike necessary to bring the
gasoline industry to time =

Palmistry is Tested
by Scientific Study

Does your character show in the
length of your fingers Can an en-
ployer tell whether an applicant for a
job is energetic or not by the shape
of the applicants hand? Is your hand
writing an open book to your nature !?
Fortune tellers and correspondence
courses in character reading have -four
ished because thousands of people be-
lieve character can be analysed in this
way. But science takes nothing for
granted and therefore experiments are
now being conducted by seniors and
graduate students at the University of
Wisconsin under the direction of Prof.
G. L. Hull to learn whether there is
any truth in these theories.
The student, for example, first con-
suits the greatest authorities on palm
istry to learn what the shape of the
hand is supposed to mean. Then she
asks each Of group of her friends
who know each other well-often soror-
ity sisters-to rate all of the other
girls on half a dozen characteristics
She then complies an average of the
~ or so ratings TO compare later with
the measurements Of her friends hands
which have been, made with instru-
ments especially designed for this pur-
pose.
A similar experiment with hand
writing was conducted year or so
ago by the university, and the results
indicated there was nothing to these
claims, but it is being done over again
this year because one senior girl was
not convinced. By similar methods the
theory of reading character by the
shape Of the head is being investigated

American Radical
DepOrted from Mexico
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


Mexico City-Linn A. E. Gale, an
American radical, arrested here has
been deported from Mexico by way of
Veras Cruz, newspapers say. There is
general impression, however, that he
has been taken to Laredo to be turned
over to the United States authorities.
President Obregon has issued a formal
statement asserting Gale has been de-
ported because of his activities against
the present Mexican administration
and CHASING him as a "pernicious
foreigner" 1t is understood two other
radicals who have been active Soviet
propagandists, will be deported. Gales
deportation did not cause excitement
among Communists here, many being
unsympathetic with his views.
