Indiana and of the 100000 as the
most beautiful of the beauties, ap-
peared in one of the loop theatres dur
ing our sojourn there and we saw her
frequently. She is most charming and
certainly deserved the prize"
Miss Mary Simmonds as "Chicago's
own" acted as hostess to the beauties
and their chaperones. The party lunch
ed, supped and dined in the Terrace
Gardens each day and, as the orches-
ira played the state song for Illinais,
each girl was pl scented formally to
the diners at was quite embarrassing
at first" confessed Miss Petersen, "but
soon was able to be presented without
being flustered in the least"

FIGHTIN' FOOL
LANDS in JAIL
Alvin Schibel, 319 Ellen ST.,
Milwaukee, Subdued by
Officer Pitsch.
OFFICER

Motion picture scenario writers and
novelists will do we'll to chronicle the
actions of Alvin Schiebel of $40 Ellen
street, Milwaukee, Saturday night.
Schiebel, rip-roaring drunk, was put
out of a saloon at SO North Main street,
where, he says, he had purchased six
or eight drinks of white moon" The
moon" made him crazy for the time
and he started out to clean up the
vicinity. He started to Guido all the
athletic stunts of Douglas Fairbanks,
he tried to Outright Jack Dempsey, and
as a two-fsted terror he had Milwau-
kee avenue going. Then Officer Pitsch
was called.
'Tm a Fightin' Fool"
"I'm a fghtin' fool" Schiebel de-
clared as the officer approached, and
then the fun began. Schiebel declares
that he put up his hand against the
officer to keep from being dubbed.
Witnesses, however, declared that
Schiebel made a pass at the officer
while the officer was at the patrol box
calling for the patrol wagon. In\the
GdHAS ONb SOCVAlu UCoS
with a couple of good raps from the
"cocobolo" of Officer Pitsch. The raps
gave Schiebel an immediate headache
and when the patrol wagon arrived was
in a tractable frame of mind. At the
police station he was so drunk that
he was unable to intelligently answer
the questions put to him by the chief
of police. He was locked up for the
time, and then the fun began down
below.
Was Quiet in Court.
"r'm a fghtin' fool" Schiebel yelled
and the noise kept up far into the
night. Nothing could be done to keep
Schiebel from yelling and even the
curses and threats of his fellow prison
ers failed to put the "soft pedal on
Schiebels tongue. This morning he
appeared in municipal court and was
being held as a witness against Mike
Witkauskis, SO North Main Nstreet,
where he states he purchased the IL
quor. He was very quiet and talked in
a rational manner and did not display
any of the loudness of the Saturday
night revel. He was given the usual
fine for drunkenness.

BORROWED AXE
CUTS A SWATH
DR.. McCrea Wins Applause
with Unique Address at
Summer Forum.
WRITER AND SPEAKER

EWho borrowed the axe and why?
With this question in mind at least
hundred Kenoshans came to the
fourth session of the summer vesper
forum held in the Park Avenue Meth
odist Church Sunday evening. They
were not disappointed either; the puz-
zling query was admirably answered
by DR.. c. H. McCrea, assistant editor
of the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate, whose address on "The Grange
Story Of the Borrowed Axe" proved to
be one of the most unique offerings
ever presented from local pulpit.
AS is usual with a man who is at
once speaker and writer, DR.. McCrea
excelled in storytelling; in fact his
theme was developed almost entirely
by narratives, embellished with cpl
gramatic comments that cloaked a
thoroughly orthodox theology.
Story Also Borrowed.
DR.. McCrea revealed at the very out
set of his address the secret of "The
Borrowed Axe" when he head his Scrip
ture lesson from that part of II Kings
which tells the story of the young min
listers who wanted to build a theo-
logical school along the Jordan" One
of them had borrowed an axe with
which to cut timber for "the monkery."
In some way the axe-head slipped from
the handle and fell into the river. The
theologue, in despair, appealed to the
Prophet Elisha, who caused the iron
to float and brought it safely to shore
with branch from a willow tree
With fine discretion DR.. McCrea
begged the question. of miracle involved
in his story by suggesting a few mod
ern analogies.
1T, is no more miraculous" he said,
chat an axe-head should float than
that modern liner should triumph
antly ride the waves; no more wonder
full or unnatural that a branch should
bring it to shore than that an electric
crane should draw wreckage from a
swollen stream; behind all of these
phenomena is the same causality-
God"
Lives Are Like Axes.
Having told his story, tellingly too,
the speaker made a most unusual but
pertinent application.
Lives" he continued, "are like axes,
at least like the borrowed axe; they
are made for service; they are not
gifts, they are loaned, borrowed; they
are lost and restored through person
alities or a Personality in touch with
the Infinite"
In discussing his first point, lives
are made for service, Dr.. McCrea re-
ferred to the dilemma in which "the
present governor of Illinois" has sud
denly found himself.
"We will suspend judgment on him.
he said; at would be illogical, unwise
to condemn him before he has been
convicted; but just now it appears that
he has confused politics or possibly
personal gain with service; that he has
mistaken loans for gifts; that he is
lost and can be restored to service only
by suffering, the principle behind all
restoration, all redemption"

Let the Courts
Try Accused Men
Father Conway Makes Plea for Proper
Consideration for Men Under
Grand Jury Indictment.

With the declaration that the courts
of law and not the court of public opin-
ion is the proper place for the trial of
men accused by grand jury Indictments

for consideration of men under indict-
ment at the morning services at St.
James Church on Sunday. lie urged
that these men had right to the pre-
sumption of innocence until proven
guilty and urged that the people re-
frain from gossippy stories in regard
to indictments previous to the cases

that great wrong might be done to
these men by their being first tried in
the court of public opinion.

Try to Save Tires
From Devils Burr
(By Associated Press J

Rome The struggle between buy
ers and sellers still continues in Italy,
as it goes to the heart of the Italian
shopkeeper to reduce those prices
which have made his fortune since the
war.
A large quantity of wool has been
sent to Italy from Australia, and con-
sequently the Italian wooden merchants
find difficulty in disposing of their
goods, and fine wooden stuff can now
be produced for $40 yard. The shop
keepers, however, refuse to sell this
cheaper material until they have ex-
hausted all the dearer but inferior
quality cloth which they have in their
shops, and continue calmly to charge
from 500 to $500 for suit Of clothes.
