KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON

If the day looks kinder gloomy
And your chances kinder slim,
And the situation S puzzlin'
And the prospect awful grim,
And perpleXities keep pressin
Till all hope is nearly gone
just bristle up and grit your teeth,
And keep on keepin' on.
Fumin never wins a fight
And frettin' never pays;
There amt no good in broodin in
Those pessimistic ways;
Smile just kinder cheerfully
When hope is nearly gone,
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.
There ain t no use in growlin
And grumblin' all the time
When music ringin everywhere
And everything's in rhyme;
Just keep on smilin' cheerfully
If hope is nearly gone,
And bristle up and grit your teeth
And keep on keepin' on.

ABOLISHES C. O. d.
ON PARCEL POST

WASHINGTON. April 5,--The use
OF the C. o. D. privilege on parcel
post shipments as a collection agency
will not be countenanced by the Post
office Department according to a
ruling by Postmaster General Harry
S. New. Neither will firms be per
mitted to ship parcels c. o. d. to
prospective purchasers without the
formality of having received an order
for their wares. The abuse OF the G.
o. D. service by shippers in sending
articles on delivery which have not
been ordered or without the consent
of the addressee may be construed as
an attempt to defraud and as a vio-
lation of law.

MILK DEALERS WAR
OVER PRICE CONTROL

Conflict among certain dealers in
milk has started a milk war" in the
city of Seattle, some of the retailers
selling milk as low as four cents a
quart, Later reports state that it
was selling all the way from 5 to 10
cents a quart.
The price cutting was started by
the Piggly-Wiggly and Fleming &
Moore stores.
This is poor practice, as sooner or
later the farmer producing the milk
will be forced to accept less for his
product. At the present cost, IL and
IL cents is a fair price for milk and
cannot be produced and handled for
much less.

I PERISH IN
ASYLUM FIRE
Panic Occurs While Flames
Rage in State Hospital
Near Chicago

CHICAGO, Dec. 27-Seventeen
persons were killed last night when
a swiftly spreading fire of unascer-
tanned origin destroyed an old wood
en- pavilion known as the death
house" at the State hospital for the
insane at Dunning at the northwest
ern edge of Chicago. Fourteen of
the dead are known to have been
patients in various stages of insan-
ity. Three others were E. j. Cara
ker and his wife attendants, and
Lowell, their eight year old son.
Only one patient has been identi-
fled. The bodies OF the others were
burned beyond recognition.
About thirty-flve of the patients,
including several of a violent type,
broke away in the excitement of
ordering more than 500 inmates
from the danger zone. Several were
taken back to the institution after
hard struggles with the police. A
dozen supposedly dangerous pa
tents were reported still at large
early today.
1t was the worst institutional fire
in Illinois history. The building,
witnesses said, seemed to go up in
one great burst of flame. 1t was
given the name dead house" when
1t was property of Cook county be
cause of its flimsy construction II
is said, was 500 feet long and -four

HAVE AUTOPSY
ON MAN s BODY
Aemorrhage of Brain Proba-
ably Caused by Fall From
the State Bridge
is REPORT OF DOCTORS
Driver of Car Identifies Dead
Man as one who Offered
to Help Him
is REPORT OF DOCTORS

A hemorrhage of the brain prob
ably brought on by the fall from
the state bridge early Christmas
morning, was given this morning as
the reason for the death of Charles
Peterson, thirty y-one-year old rigger
and dock builder, of 192 Sherman
street. following the autopsy per-
formed at Fred Garretson's funeral
parlors on High street, by County
Physician John J.. Suydam,
Detective John Murray, Coroner
]. S. Hay, DIR. Charles w. Naulty, Jr.,
Undertaken Garretson and County
Detective William Fitzpatrick were
present at the autopsy. After a COM
plete internal and external examina-
tion, the hemorrhage of the brain
was given as the cause of death.
Frank Froat, of Garwood, the
driver of the car which skidded into
the state bridge railing early Christ
mas morning and was asked by
Imam apparently under the influence
OF liquor, whether he needed any
assistance to get the car going again,
last night identified the dead man as
the party whu offered assistance.
Peterson, it has been learned, vis-
tied the home of his sister in Me-
cbanicsville, with his wife, on Christ
mas eve, and shortly after midnight
he started back to this city with his
dog. It is said he planned to return
to Mechanicsville to spend the night.
Detectives Murray and Gutowslii,
of Captain Longs bureau, worked on
the case all day Christmas, paying
visits to Mechanicsville and various
places in this city, to clear up the
case. Employees of the Cheese
brough Manufacturing company, the
first to find the body were question
ed as were Froat and his female
companion.
Following the call from the Cheese
brcugh plant early Christmas morn
ing, police officers were detailed to
the scene and after Coroner Hay had
viewed the body, he gave permis-
sion for removal to the undertaking
Adjustment of Eugene Mullen, on
Madison avenue. An external eX-
animation was made by the coroner
yesterday morning and later the
body was turned over to Under
taker Carr etson. A mistake of some
kind made in New Brunswick re-
suited in the county physicians au-
topsy being put off until this morn
ing. The autopsy this morning
failed to show any marks on the
mans body that would indicate he
had been struck by an auto.
The funeral of Peterson will be
held from his late home at o'clock
Saturday afternoon. Rev. V. b.
skov, of Our Saviour's Danish Luth-
eran church will officiate, and inter-
ment will follow in the Odd Fellows
plot, in Alpine cemetery. Peterson
was a member of the Owls and Odd
Fellows, and although he was an
overseas veteran, having been
h wounded in action, he did not belong
z 20 the American Legion.
A relative of Peterson's denied
this morning that the man was un-
der the influence of liquor at the
time of his death.

as 2,240 pounds (the long TOM ana
the possibility of compulsory insur-
ance for automobiles in New Jersey
were two outstanding developments
here yesterday following n meeting
of the Joint committee of the senate
and assembly for the purpose OF dis
cussing prospective legislation to be
introduced at the coming session OF
the legislature. With regard to the
first point, Senate Republican Ma
iority Leader william II. Bright, Of
Cane May, declared after the con-
ference. which was secret, that q
bill will be introduced defining a
ton of coal to contain 2,240 pounds
instead of 1000 pounds. 1t is SAID
that the general practice among coal
dealers is to buy by the long ton and
sell the commodity according to the
short ton.
The question of state highways
was touched upon in connection with
the consideration of the scheme re-
Gently propounded by the state
Highway Commission to relieve traf-
fc congestion at the mouth OF the
Hudson Tunnel, the Camden-Phila-
delphia bridge, the northern shore
route from Perth Amboy to Keyport
and the southern shore road from
Camden to Atlantic City by widening
the highways. The conference com
mittee declared that nothing will be
done which will interfere with the
completion of the present road pro-
gram mapped ont by the highway
board on the ordinary state highway
system. No part of the $40,00O,OOO
road bond issue will be used for
the four projects outlined, the com
mittee declared nor viii anything be
done upon the scheme until the road
program is finished.
While the subject of additional
moneys to finish the Hudson River
vehicular tunnel was talked over by
the committee, that body did not
bind itself to any action II was
stated that beyond agreeing that a
bond issue would be required to re-
alize the extra seven millions of dol
lars estimated to be needed by the
tunnel no action was taken by the
committee.

of her voyage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27:-The
stock market operations of Lieuten-
ant Osborne c. Wood served today
to bring out a general statement Of
the attitude taken by Secretary
Weeks toward the investments of
army officers.
Mr.. Weeks holds that officers
should be required to avoid specu-
lative enterprises on a scale that
would mark the transactions as i'm
prudent" in view of the means of
the officers concerned. 1t was in
line with the policy that the sug-
gestion was conveyed to Lieutenant
Wood four months ago that his spec
ulatiVe ventures in Wall Street
should be terminated.
Lieutenant Woods operations
practically ceased at that time, it
was said today at the War Depart
ment, his subsequent transactions
being in connection with the closing
out of the operations in which he
already was engaged.
A congressional investigation into
Lieutenant Woods operations prob
ably will be asked for by Repre-
sentative Frear, Republican, Wiscon-
sin, who has a resolution pending
for a general inquiry into the ad-
ministration of Governor General
Wood in the Philippines.
