WHAT A COLLISION
 IS IN INSURANCE
Automobile Owners Freak Acci- dents Cause Court Arguments

Topeka. Kan, March 24.-"Coll- sion-The act of striking together; the striking together of two hard ob- jects; clashng. Synonyms: clashing, encounter, opposition" ."-Webster
 Automobile accident insurance be- ing comparatively new, Kansas statutes and court reports are far from replete on enlightenment as to what Is and who it not q collision. So the state insurance department, ac- cording to Frank l.. Travis, state superintendent of insurance. finds 1t necessary to hark back to funda- mentals in determining disputes over the scope of the collision clauses in auto insurance policies.
 Dictionary Needed
 We have to get out the old diction- ary and interpret the law as we see it. said Sam Carol, insurance de- partment attorney. ..0-
 Two of the most interesting cases that have bee ncarried to the insur- ance department for a decision were one in which an enraged bull attacked car painted a bright red, and an other in which a $4,000 motor car came off second best in bout with game cock. In each of these cases the opinion of the insurance department was in favor of the car owner. It was a collision. Likewise, the car owner won in a case involving "a collision" with a rifle bullet which shattered the wind shield.
 In still another case, however, it was different. A man drove his car through a puddle of water on a paved street. The icy water splashed up on the heated engine, causing the casing to crack.
 Tt was a collision with the water" contended the owner
 "No," decided the insurance de- partmcnt officials after due delibera- ton, that was a case of the effect thc chemical effect-of cold water coming in contact with the hot Cnginc'
 Bull Charges Car
 The owner of the ill fated red car made the mistake of going to a cattle gale on a farm, in his car. There were many other automobiles there, but only one red one. Singing it out, bull broke away from the sales ring and charged the red hood. Again and again he rammed the vehicle with his harmless head until the car resembled q war relic.
 The assault by a game rooster was provoked by observing his reflection in the highly polished exterior of fhe brand new car. The owner had just driven the car home for the first time and parked it in the dooryard The battle evidently had been on for some time before tho farmer discovered what was going on. MT. Rooster crcled the vehicle seeking an apera- ture which would permit him to get at" his adversary. Naturally enough, | the adversary followed Each time the rooster came in contact with the car he left marks of spurs and heak until | the highly polished surface was sadly | disfigured.

y knitted suits so called. or

fabrics are-on the wonderful knit

tunes are the craze in Paris and have
been for a twelvemonth. They appear
at the fashionable beaches and at the

races where glorifed sport clothes are

worn in town. Small wonder, for
these suits have all the chic and style

Knitted Street Suits Have Formality.
You could not ask more grace, dig
nifty and formality than are shown in
the two promenade costumes OF knit
ted fabric. One of the suits pictured
is gray with narrow stripes of sage
green. Paler green-gray stripes run
between the dark ones, and the mate
rial has been used in crosswise strips
in both skirt and jacket to make the
stripes serve as trimming. The very
narrow turned back cuffs on a rather
wide. loose sleeve are especially smart
and as you see this almost flowing
sleeve allows a glimpse of the link

The very long jacket, falling in close
but straight lines over a skirt almost
to the ankle is OF course the proper
suit style for the new season. An at
tractive feature of the suit is the
small collar of gray astrachan which
fits close TO the throat. Not hard to

shown. These are not for town wear
like the smart suits above described
but for their purpose-country wear
they are equally good style. The
knicker and slipon matched by long

shoulder; the close little knitted hat

picturesque feature of the costume is

scarf ends that fall TO the knee.

FORECASTIIS MADE
OF IDAHO WHEAT CROP

Idaho's combined winter and spring
wheat production as of June l is fore
cast at 24,345, 500 bushels, or 9,734,-
900 bushels less than the amount
harvested last year, according to the
monthly crop report of Julius H.
Jacobson, agricultural statistician of
the Idaho crop reporting service.
OF this total 8,712, 800 bushels is in
winter wheat and 1888 900 bushels
spring wheat. The spring wheat
acreage this year amounts to $4,000
acres, or a decrease of Fl 900 acres
under last year. The present condi-
ton is 81 per cent of normal COM
pared with SO per cent last year.
The cold, wet spring has delayed
seeding and kept the acreage already
seeded from making much Roadway.
In many sections spring seeding is not
yet completed. The June 1 outlook
in Idaho compared with last year is
for smaller crops of wheat, oats and
hay but a larger crop of barley.
IdahO's oats crop is estimated at
6,846,800 bushels and last year the
yield, was 7,74O,0OO bushels The
acreage in the state this year is 5000
less than that planted last year. The
oats crop will be 244 100000
bushels larger this year than last.
The hay crop this year will be APP
100000 tons under the
3 ,180, 000-ton yield of last year Glover
hay acreage shows a decrease of 2
per cent under last year and alfalfa
