A Noble Disobedience
a STORY OF OLD SPAIN I.


There lived in the eleventh century
Il Jew. young, handsome, brilliant, and
very wealthy. His name was Joseph
bn-NagrcIa, and he was the son of the
statesman, Samuel ibn-Nagrela, who
was called "the pride of the Spanish,
Jews"
This young Jew was also states-
man, and his keenness of mind ana
loyalty, as well as his personal charm
made him so successful that the Jew
ish community in the town of Gran
ada. Spain, accepted him, mt the age
of twenty-four, as their rabbi and
chief, and the king made him vizier
(chicf minister.
Beloved as he was by Jew and Mo-
hammedan alike for his generosity
and kindness, he committed the fault
of f;ivoring Jews mt court, and appoint
ing as many Jews rs possible to high
positions of state In those days there
was no especial prejudice against Jews
in Spain: the terrible opposition which
resulted finally in their expulsion did
not begin until long time after. But
the great power of the Jews was ma
turally resented by the native popula-
tion.
There ragged mt this time n terrific
struggle between the Arabs, who had
formerly owned the land. and the Ber-
bers who had conquered them and now
ruled them. The king, whose minister
Joseph was, was of course Berber.
Squabbles and fights between Arabs
and Bcrbers occurred every minute of
the day.
AT last very serious thing hap
pcned A Berber ruler was slain by
the Arabs.
The kings rage WAS mingled now
with something more serious-fear. III
the Arabs could murder one ruler. why
could they not murder another? He
felt that some final effort must be
made to get rid of the Arabs, mt least
in his capital city.where his palace
was. So he sent an order to Joseph
bn-Nagrela to- come to him at once,
for he would do nothing without tell
ing Joseph. and asking his advice.
The young minister hurried to the
palace, and came before the king,
whose name was Badis.
This is my PLAN" Badis announced.
II shall order my troops to Surround
the mosque (.Ar;ib church) on Friday,
ut the tina of prayer. when all the
Arabs will be praying within, and ut
a given signal my soldiers shall enter
and slay every one of them
.Ioscph's bright face became II pic
ture of surprise and distress. He
opened his mouth to beg the king to
reconsider his cruel intention, but
Hadis seeing by his expression what
he was going to say. exclaimed:
1T is of no use for you to argue; no
. matter what you say. ! shall carry out
my plan. Now. you are the only per-
son shall tell of this do not. there
fore. breathe n word about it, for L
want to be sure that all the Arabs Will
be in the mosque, as they usually are
ut that time
Joseph bowed. and retired But the
awful fate. of the Arabs never left his
mind. When, passing by in his splen-
did chariot. he saw the Arab men chat
ting in the street. or making bargains
in the market place, or talking to their
little children. Il pang went through
his heart. by Friday he thought,
they Will all be murdered"

Operates Electric
Trucks on Acc Daily

at costs forty cents day to oper-
ate an electric truck" was the state
ment made recently by B. G. McClel-
Ian, manager Of the Chalmette Laun-
dry, New Orleans. These operating
costs take in everything except driv-
ers' wages and the interest on the
money invested in equipment. This
company which operates fifty-four
trucks, has the greatest fleet of cleo
tries in the south.
Every week these trucks cover all
parts of the city, a territory of more
than 1876 square miles. Mr.. Mcclellan
points out that every motor driven
vehicle has its field but when it comes
to running trucks to the home, de-
livering or collecting small packages
the electric is "the thing
1t has been his experience that the
electric truck is 365 day in the year
worker and is seldom out of commits
sion. 1t comes and goes as regularly
as clockwork and it is utterly de-
pendable. Some of these trucks have
been in constant service for over
ten years and are in nearly as good
condition now as when they were
purchased
The Chalmette Laundry has the
batteries in their trucks charged every
other night during clear weather and
when they are operating on good
streets. During rainy weather, when
the streets are muddy, the batteries
are charged everv night

Officers of Wrecked Destroyers VIII
Not Be Assigned to New Du-
ties at This Time.

San Diego, Cal. While surviving
members of the crews of the seven
destroyers wrecked off Hondo, Cal,
September prepared to take up the
task of fitting out and commissioning
seven ships which will take the place
of those lost and othgr officers and en-
listed men of the navy made ready for
memorial services tomorrow in honor
of the % who persisted in the wreck,
the naval court of inquiry investigat-
ing the disaster planned to hold brief
session here today at which additional
witnesses from the u. S. S. Delphy,
flagship of the wrecked squadron, were
expected TO testify.
Dispatches received here identifying
J. R. Stapler, asserted author of a
telegram introduced at yesterdays
session criticizing radio compass sig
nails received from Point Arguello as
first officer of the steamer Arizona, led
naval authorities to express the be-
lief that Stapler would be asked to
testify before the close of the inquiry.
Meanwhile commanding officers, exc
cutive officers and navigators of the
seven wrecked vessels will not be per-
mitted to resume active duty until
the naval court ends it's sessions, ac-
cording to orders received from the

GREEKS NOT GUILTY
BUT HELD NEGLIGENT
Commission Finds the Greeks Innocent
of Staying of Italian Com
missioner.

Preveza, Albania Members of the
international mission, investigation the
assassination of Genarel Tellini and his
suite, are understood to be- convinced
that the Greeks are innocent of the
crime imputed to them by Italy.
The report of their investigation will
be forward to the inter-allied council
of ambassadors. The mission is also
understood to have decided that the
Greeks, while innocent of the assass-
nations, are guilty of negligence in
seeking out those who committed the
murder.
The japanese, French and British
delegates, it is said, concluded that
the assassins acted from-vengance rath-
er than from political motives. 1t is
stated, however, that the Italian mem
bers of the inquiry commission are
filing a minority report substantiating
their original charges.
An attempt to send Italian cara
bineers on Greek soil to protect the
mails between Janina and Italy oc-
Cured at the frontier post office at
Kakavia yesterday, threatening a con-
fict, as the Greeks stoutly refused to
permit the Italians to cross the from
tier. The Japanese president of the
boundary mission, however, interviewed,
and the Italian soldiers were sent back
to, an Albanian port on the Adriatic.

GET-RICH-QUICK
GAMBLING BAD
Experts Say That Thous-
ands Have Been De-
prived of Homes.
BUILDING INVESTMENTS
(By EDGAR t. WHEELoCK.)

by EDGAh Il, WhEELOOh.)
Copyright 1922, American Press Lge.
There are 24,351 ,676 families in the
United States according to the federal
census of 1920. Of these 12,943,5 $3.50
families live in rented houses.
Ponzi, the best financial wizard, and
Bischoff, the Chicago boy fnancier,
charmed millions of dollars out of the
pockets of poor people. The former
is in Jail and the latter probably will
be punished, but the money is gone
and will not come back.
If the money given to Ponzie and
Bischoff had been invested in shares
of building and loan associations it
would have been safe and would have
earned regular interest which, COM
pounded semi-annually, would have
steadily increased the investment.
Did you know that these associa-
tons take the savings of poor people,
like those who hoped to get rich in
a few months by trusting Ponzi and
Bischoff, and pay interest at the rate
of 600 annually? Tie money is used
in building homes for members and
the security is gilt-edged real estate
first mortgages.
Investments in shares of building
and loan associations are always Sc
cured by mortgages. The owner of
shares is not required to look after
his securities. Old mortgages are
paid off and new ones made by the
officers from time to time without
troubling the shareholder. There are
a number of these societies that. have
been in business for half century
and their resources run up into the
millions of dollars. In their hands the
money wasted by Ponzi and Bischoff
would have built thousands of homes.

Village Store Lights
Good as the Best

Some time ago the small-town store
was the butt of every comic artist in
the country. We are all familiar with
the ludicrous stage presentation of a
crossroads general store.
Midst a confusion of odds-and- ends
of merchandise, the postmaster-store
shown endeayoring to cut some dress
goods by the light of Pickering
smoking kerosene lamp. Of course,
the regulation country storekeeper
wore eye glasses, squinted terribly
and the mixup and difficulties of
matching colored dress goods furnish
ed all a hearty laugh.
Nowadays such earicatures are
largely fiction. Modern merchandising
methods have been taken up in the
smallest towns and hamlets, Scienti-
ic electric illumination has changed
many Main streets into miniature
Broadways.
The stores one finds today in small
towns are bright, efficient and invit-
ing. The storekeeper is a specialist,
knows his goods and the mental state
of the people he caters to.
And last, though not least, the
village storekeeper has permitted cleo
tricity through the medium of better
lighting to make his store better
place in which to do business be-
cause it reduces return of goods and
stimulates trade.
Main street Isl no longer dark after
sunset. It is cheerful, brightly light
ed thoroughfare. According to speci-
alists, however, store lighting and
store-window lighting can still be inn
proved to q remarkable degree. They
have discovered that by increasing
the amount of light used and by en-
ploying more efficient equipment for
distributing the light, the sale of
goods is stimulated.
Stores in many sections of the
country using Ordinary lighting in
tensities" have been tested and mere
ly by increasing the volume of light
and the method of its distribution,
positive increases in volume of bust
ness done have resulted.
The extremely reasonable cost in
volved for the additional light en-
ployed by the brighter aud buster
stores was the most valuable feature
of these tests. 1t has been proved
beyond a peradventure that such costs
We're repaid manifold by the resultant
increases in business and profits. :

Kenosha Was Twelfth.

htHOSHd w d5 WCAAtAs
Kenosha was twelfth in the list with
a death rate of SO out of every thou
sand births. This city has however
advanced rapidly in cutting down the
infant motality in the past, having
gone from 81 in 1920 to SO in the year
1922.
Madison, with a rate of At in 1921,
established the lowest mark made by
any of the cities as far back as 1917,
which is the year to which the present
records revert. Beloit's mark of 40 in
1922 was second best in that period.
The highest rate in 1922 was made by
Manitowoc with 113. The Milwaukee
rate for the last three years was 80,
80 and "a.
The report was made up from figures
sent in from 583 cities Of more than
10000 population in 80 states and the
District of Columbia. These are the
states included in the United States
birth registration known by the United
States census bureau to be reliable.
General Average of 1877.
The rates for all of the FL Wisconsin
cities resulted in a general average
for the year of 1877, which placed the
state eighth among the 80 states and
the District of Columbia. The seven
states with lower averages than Wis
consin were Oregon, four cities, with
58.6; the state of Washington, nine
cities, with $50; Minnesota, eleven
cities, with 60.3; California, 25 cities,
with 64.6; Nebraska, five cities, with
65.3; Utah, two cities, with ITO; and
Indiana, 81 cities, with 1871.

tons report has become an annual
compilation published to stimulate in

reduction of infant mortality the coun-

vigorous campaign to arouse parents

GREATER
RIDING COMFORT
Tire Maker Predicts the
Use of More Flexible
Castings.
USE SMALLER WHEELS

Akron, O.-Tire manufacturers, too,
have been concerned over the attain
ment of greater comfort for the auto
mobile driver.
To that end, they agree, one way in
which they can help is by improving
the construction of the tire. Their
engineers have worked over this prob
lem for years, until now they set
forth the following conclusions:
1. More flexible tires, with fewer
plies and larger cross-section, thus
affording greater air capacity.
2. Tires to be run at lower air
pressure, improving riding quality
of the car.
8. Smaller wheel diameter, bring
ing the car closer to the ground and
utilizing the motors power to best
advantage.
These are the points brought out
recently by F. A. Seiberling, noted
tire manufacturer of this city, in
pointing out the trend of tire design
from the earlier days.
Less Material.
In 1910, for instance, automobiles
ran on 43x5 inch tires. Now cars
of similar weight and construction
use 33x5 tires.
"And in few years." predicts Sci
berling, this size will be replaced by
the 30x5, rather striking illustration
of the present-day trend toward small
er wheel and rim diameter.
"This development will not stop
with smaller wheels, but will be ex-
tended to call for tires of larger
cross-section, more flexible in carcass
and carrying less air. The present
33x5~, tire ultimately will be super
seeded by 32x6 or even by 34x7, but
where the '33x5 is an eight-ply tire
calling for 80 pounds imitation the
32x6 will be a six-ply tire with 40
pounds of air recommended and the
34x7 a four-ply tire with an infa-
tion of 25 or 80 pounds.
"In the 4-inch tire size American
makers have come from 40x4 to
32x4, which is already givinga way
to 31x4 with probability that tires
as small as 28x4 will appear for
future Standardization"
Wheels Smaller.
So far as wheel sizes are concern
ed, remarks Seiberling:
'It is safe to predict the early adj
vent of the 20-inch rim as standard
for both passenger cars and trucks.
1t remains only to be seen whether
American engineers will be satisfied
to stop with 20-inch rim diameter
or whether they will go even further
to an 18-inch rim diameter"
And he concludes:
! "The desire of the car manufacture
err and the purpose of the tire manu-
facturer will be to develop tire not
only of smaller rim diameter, but also
of larger cross-section, of more fexi-
Bile carcass and less liable to the raw
ages of internal heat, to which the
present thick earcasses are susceptible.
Fewer plies and larger cross
sections will permit Of lower air
pressure, for imitation, easier riding
for the occupants of the car and
longer tire life with lower repair
bills"
