DELIVERS LECTURE
 ON SOUTH AMERICA
Calvin ". Rice Speaks at Meeting
 of New Britain Engineers

Crime stories or scandal are not carried on the front pages of South American newspapers according to Calvin w. Rice, national secretary of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. MT. Rice delivered an ad- dress to the local branch at the New Britain club last evening.
 In the course of his talk he re- ferred to the policies of newsapers in South America, which continent he toured recently, in the interests of d group of engineering societies in North America. He referred to cer- tain sensational newspapers in United States, which play up stories in head lines, and said the South American newspapers confine all local news to their inside papers, and use Cnly world news on their front pages.
 Murder Record in |. $.
 This nation has the worst murder record in the world" said Mir. Rice. '"rberc we're 5000 murders in this country last year" England has 10 times the population of this country and only had one murder for every 6s4,000 people. against one murder for every 12,000 people in the United States
 One thing that impressed MT. Rice was the patience and courtesy Of the South American people. It is q part of their life and disposition. There are smiling faces everywhere. Pa tience and courtesy in commerce are absolutely necessary.
 Pride figured in the Mexican trou- big with the United States. The 1 United States said Mexico would not | be recognized until she did certain things. There will never be any | recognition of Mexico until the United States backs down" said the speaker.

Considerations Of more temporary

the expense of the people as did the
republicans during 1919 and 1920"
Representative Garrett OF Tennessee,
declared in statement urging alb
stinance from partisanship in deal
ing with the problem Of taxation.
Mr.. Garrett, who is expected to
be reelected democratic leader in
the house, excepts only "the present
iniquitous high tarif'' in his appeal
for nonpartisan consideration OF
the twin question of revenue and
finance" His statement, issued after
conference with Representative Cor
dell Hull of Tennessee, chairman OF
the democratic national committee,
emphasizes with reference to Secre-
tary MELONS proposals for tax re-
ductions that everybody, however" I"
favors reducing the normal taxes.
The question of differentiating be-
tween earned and unearned incomes
has always had the support of "all
members" in principle, he says, but
1t has not been put into effect be-
cause 'of republican opposition and
the extreme difficulty of its success

"The worst enemy of honest
equitable internal tax revision" Mr.
Garrett asserts, "is the person who
injects political or factional consid-
erations or collateral controversies
which bear no relation to the single

LOOkINGOvERFRU|T
BANANAS WILL BE SHY
CROP IN MANKATO r
Market 10 Said To BE GIutted with
Apples; Oranges Are Re-
ported Scarce.

"Yes, we have no bananas today"
This was the reply that a local fruit
commission man made today to a
reporter when he was asked as to
the fruit situation.
Bananas will be a very scarce ar
ticle in Mankato this winter. from
present indications, according to the
statement Of local fruit commission
men, This is due to the fact that
just recently there were over 350, 900
lunches Of that fruit destroyed by
wind In Central America. 1t Is es :
timated that at least ten percent of
the banana crop has been destroyed
by wind floods, etc. 1t will be sew
eral months before a normal sup
ply will be on the local market. The
only points in this state which will
receive carload lots will be ST. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth, and the
branch houses will have to get their
supplies from there. No carload
lots will be shipped to any other
Minnesota cities. Bananas are ex-
tremeIy high, and 1t will not be sur
prising II during the winter they can
not be procured.
Oranges on the local market are
also scarce. This is due to the fact
that the late valencia crop was ex-
hausted before the navels had pro-
crossed to the proper sugar content
Of ripeness.
Florida grapefruit and apples of
the finest quality are on the market
at reasonable prices. Hundreds of
boxes of western apples have been
sold on the local market for less
than the cost Of production and
transportation. The market Is glut-
ted with this kind of fruit.
For Thanksgiving the local mar
ket will be well stocked with both
California and New York celery.

MADE EXCELLENT RECORD
Stella ormsby Bess Receives Special
Milk Production Mention

OIStId OTmSpy bSSS receives opeCtdt
Milk Production Mention
An exceptional record for butter
production was made recently by
Mankato Stella Ormsby Bess of the
NARROW & Randall herd, Mankato,
according to the advanced registry
office of The Holstein Friesian AS
sociation Of America.
At the age of two years and six
months this cow produced in 365
days 22326.3 pounds of milk con-
tanning 672. 81 pounds Of butterfat
equal to 840.6 pounds Of butter.
: Breeders OF dairy cattle who are
in position to put time and special
attention on testing work have en-
hanced the value of their animals
greatly by the official records they
have made. Dairymen whose facili-
ties for record making are some
what limited are given an oppor-
tunity by the advanced registry de-
partment to determine the produc-
tion Of their cows through the
farmers and dairymen's classes.
Such classes are useful especially IN
affording definite informtion as to
the production of cows when they
are handled under conditions which
approximate those to be found on
the average dairy farm.

Better look out for a safety

You've heard remarks like that.
But is it true that women are re-
sponsible for most Of our atrocious
mishaps. or are they more conserv-
ative, less disposed to recklessness
and safer than men in the operation
of motors? w. ..
Major Henry Kachelmyer. the
traffic officer, was consulted and the
major ought to know II anyone
does. That Is his business. Does he
not bring these offenders to the mat
daily?
And this Is what he said when
asked the question: (which are the
most careful drivers, men or wo-
men? Instantly, the officer said:
Men are by far the most careful
drivers. Sorry to say, but it's true
Wa have twice as many women ap-
pear before us, or have to be spok-
en- to, for carelessness in parking
Men are more careful is observing

She lost her presence OF mind COM

with all women, they get excited

And another thing" said the
officer emphatically. Women ger
so wrathy when we speak to them
about parking or disregarding the
traffic laws. Women will park Just
any old place she shouldn't and will
jump out of the car, and leave the
motor running and shop twenty or
more minutes. Men don't do things
like that.
"But there Is one thing I will say
for the women folks as drivers.
They do not speed as much as the
men. We have arrested as many as
100 men for speeding the last year
and we have only had three or four
women up for this offense. I would
not say that women are as reck-
less as men, but they Just simply

Flames Cause Early Risinu

Winnebago, November 23.-At
five o'clock in the morning Mrs.
Mary Kable was awakened by the
cracking Of burning wood and the
suffocating fumes of fire, to find her
house a mass of flames. Mrs. Kable
was sleeping in a bed room on the
lower floor and awoke to see flames
burning through the floor of the
room directly overhead She rushed
from the room, choking from the
fumes. and ran to the home OF a
neighbor, clad only in her night
gown, and summoned aid. AS Mrs.
Kable left the room a piece Of burn
ing wood fell on her bed and in a
few seconds the bed in which she
had been lying was in flames. The
two upper rooms were entirely con-
sumed, together with the bedroom
on the lower floor. Very few OF the
contents OF the home were saved.
Mrs. Kable lost nearly all OF her
wearing apparel. 1t is thought that
spontaneous combustion or mice
gnawing matches might have caused
the fire. The damages are partially
covered By insurance.
