day Afternoon from Re-
suits of Accident.
STRUUK BY STREET CAR
Victim Was Driving Wagon
When Struck by Street Car
and Severely Injured.

weeks ago when the wagon which he
was driving was struck by street
car at the corner of Market and Third

the accident which resulted in the
aged mans death. The reports given

cident at the time and Nielsen was

DENY A PAROLE
TO CHIEF O'HARE
State Board Of Control De
MES Leniency Appeal of
Owen O'Hare.
10 CONTINUE FIGHT

Lenieney was denied to Owen
O'Hare, former chief of police of Ke-
nosha, now serving two and half
year term in TIE state prison at Wau-
pun as result of charges growing out
of the grand jury cleanup here more
than year ago, when the state board
Of control refused to grant his ap-
peal for a parole according to infor-
nation first reaching here late Satur-
day evening and confirmed today The
former chief had served half of his
term and, in keeping with the regula-
lions of the institution, had filed an
appeal for a parole.
The hearing on the appeal was held
on last Wednesday but no announce
ment as to the decision reached by the
board of control was given out until
Saturday afternoon.
Came AS A Surprise.
The action of the board of control
in, denying the parole came as a sur
prise in Kenosha. 1t had been antici-
pated that since the greater number
of Correction as a result of the grand
jury probe had been pardoned OF
paroled before their terms had ex-
pired that similar action would be
taken on this appeal. The other par
dons had been granted by Governor
Blaine while the appeal for parole
came before the board Of control fol-
action.
When the appeal was fled, Judge
E. B. Beldon, who sentenced O'Hare
acknowledged receipt of the notice OF
appeal without urging action either
way. Attorney Frank s. Symmonds
who was district attorney when O'Hart
was sentenced wrote to the board
of control opposing the request fol
leniency.
Will Continue Fight.
Friends of Chief O'Hare stated this
morning that they would continue the
fight to secure leniency for him
Under the prison regulations another
appeal may be filed each month and q
new request for a parole will be filed
at once. Under the rules of the insti.
tuition the former police head will be
automatically released from prison in
December providing his record fol-
good behavior continues.
Chief 0'Hare was sentenced to two
and half years when he pleaded
guilty to grand jury indictments OF
embezzlement, malfeasance in office
subornation in perjury and other
charges growing out of the grand jury
probe. Since his term started the
money which he was alleged to have
embezzled has been returned to the
pension fund of the police and fire
commission.

Personal Magnetism Something That
Can Be Cultivated Through Proper
Course of Thinking.

''rhs belief that personal mag
netism is gift Of the gods and
that no man may come by it unless
he is born with it, is erroneous"
says Addington Bruce in Forbes
Magazine, "as may be shown even
by mere enumeration of the fac
tors which in combination consti-
tute personal magnetism.
Foremost among these are self
confidence, enthusiasm, yigor in
thought and action, and, in especial,
human sympathy. Study the per-
sonality of any man you know to
be magnetic, in the sense of at
tracing others and exercising a
marked influence over them, and al
ways you will find him self-conf-
dent, enthusiastic, vigorous and
sympathetic.
cit is also through habitually
thinking vigorously, courageously,
cheerfully; through habitually
maintaining manfully erect pos
ture, at once expressive of vigor and
creative of it. Such a posture, ]
may add, is also expressive and
creative of that other prime in
gredient in personal magnetism
self-confdence.
sympathy is of paramount im'
portance in the developing of per-
sonal magnetism. The most con-
fident, enthusiastic and vigorous Of
men will find his influence over
others diminished in proportion as
he is deficient in human sympathy.
This being SO, and sympathy being
in itself one of the most precious OF
personal assets, its acquisition should
be sought by ALL"

SECRET or DATE WELL KEPT
Official Of Agricultural Department
Had to Make Trip to the
Sudan to Discover 1t.


For nearly 20 years the Depart
ment of Agriculture of the United
States sought offshoots of large
fine date known to commerce as the
wahi. 1t was known that the wahi
came from one of the FIVE GASES OF
western Egypt, but three expensive
expeditions had failed ITO solve the
problem of the source of supply.
Then in the fall of 1918 and the fol-
lowing winter, Prof, s. G. Mason,
arborculturist of the bureau of plant
industry, spent his time in Egypt
and the Sudan. A journey to Kharga
GASES and to Dakhla found the des-
ert people in the midst Of their date
harvest, and Professor Mason asked
the name of the dates they were
sending out. His simple inquiry
solved the problem that had yexed
his department for so long.
eve desert people call the date
the sadly" said a sheik, "but when
these Bedouin traders get over to the
valley with it they call it the wahi. !"
To this friendly sheik was due the
discovery of the true name of the
valuable variety Of date and the
whereabouts of a quarter Of million
trees in their home in the Businesses
of the Libyan desert.
'oWahi" in Arabic means simply
coming from eel Waha," the oasis,
and the fact that the fruit was sold
in the markets under this trade
name, while known to the oasis
growers only as the sadly, had kept
the Bedouin camel mems secret all
those years.

DRIPLEss SINK sTHAlnER

One of the sloppiest Of the many
sloppy jobs that the housewife is
called upon to perform is that Of
emptying the sink strainer. The
contents of this are always soft and
mushy, and they are bound to drib-
bic some Of their juice en- route from
the sink to the garbage pail. But a
Cleveland manufacturer has obvi-
ated this difficulty, and at the same
time given us cover for the I'M
slightly sink strainer. The trick is
that the cover is on the wide-swing-
ing pivot, and can be swung around
under the strainer, acting then as a
drip tray while the latter is being
escorted to the usual garbage pail

TABLE MANNERS NOT HIGH
Mobiles Of the Middle Ages Evidently
Believed That FINGERS were
Made Before Forks"

Professor Waugh, lecturing at
McGill university, Montreal, on
"How Our English Ancestors
Lived" declared that noble families
in the Middle ages shared common
plates and cups, used fingers instead
of forks, licked their plates, wiped
their teeth on the tablecloth and
scrambled for the largest portion,
says a London Daily Express dis
patch. Books on etiquette issued in
the Fifteenth century pointed out
that these things were not good man
ners.
The art of cooking in the Middle
ages fourished, however, cooks ex-
ceiling at artistic and rich confec-
tionery.
Dancing in medieval times was
true to its name. Dancers really
moved with nimbleness and agility
instead Of slowly posturing around
the room in the manner Of modern
dancers.
The noble and his family and SER
wants lived and slept in the great
hall of the castle with next to DO
privacy. A better state Of things
evolved gradually, more rooms being
added and more windows put in, in
surfing greater seclusion for the lord
and his family.
