Students Try Out
the perfect Life"

Philadelphia, Pa.-Two groups of
students ,of the Hahnemann Medical
College and School of science, today
began living perfect life" in
scientific experiments, which will last
two months.
1t is hoped the experiments will lead
to the discovery of drug of real
therapeutic value from some common
herb or basic acid hitherto I'M
utilized. Also they aim to obtain data
which will increase the therapeutic
value of a recently discovered remedy.
The men will be under constant OBJ
servation. For two months they must
live from physicians standpoint, "a
perfect life" Drugs will be admins
tered to each subject and each will
keep a diary in which he will write
every hour the effect he feels from
the drugs.
AS check, some of the subjects
will be given blank pills, which will
taste the same as pills containing
the drugs.

Trunk Fitted With
an Electric IrOr

An up-to-date manufacturer of trav
cling supplies has shown his clever.
ness by adding an electric ironing
outfit to his wardrobe trunks. In a
neat recess built to hold it is slowed
small electric iron with cord for
connecting with convenience outlet
Back of the space reserved for hang
ing dresses is suspended little iron
ing board on which a woman may
press her laces, collars, blouses and
frocks and her husbands trousers.
Thus is the stamp of commercial ap-
prevail placed upon the method long
practiced by women who do not care
to spend all their money in tipping
chambermaids to press a dress or
warist that has become wrinkled in
packing. 'Those who do not aspire to
wardrobe trunks can secure an cleo
trio iron which is smaller and lighter
than those in ordinary use and will
add little to the weight of the trunk
in which it is carried. Diminutive
ironing boards may also be purchased
of the type employed in laundering
frocks for babies and the thrifty
woman who has washed out her hand
kerchiefs overnight and spread them
on the mirror or the window to dry
can now press them in a more salts

Old Mill Road Has
Underground Fire
Road Near Green Bay With Peat
Bog Base is Actually Too Hot
To Use For Travel.

Green Bay, Wis., Residents in the
vicinity of peat bog near here have
been puzzled for several weeks at the
warmth of the hard surface of "The
Old Mill Road" In places the road
bed was actually hot, it is claimed.
A driver of a car travelling on the
road, suddenly felt the ground break
through and his machine sank to the
axles in smoky, ashy substance, re-
vealing an underground fire which is
consuming the peat and still spread
ing, in spite of recent rains.
The "Old Mill Road" for long
stretches is hot to the touch and
authorities have barred it to traf-
fic.
Several rains have fallen since a
marsh in the vicinity was set aire,
bat the fires continue to spread and
undermine the road, it is said.

Allege Pasquale Olidieri
Cut Berger for Rebuk-
ing Him Sunday.
BACKED INTO FORD
Berger Chased Pasquale for
Striking Car and Not Stop
ping; Fight Starts.

When YOU see a motorist ahead of
you violating the arterial highway
rule, doesn't it make you sore?
Wouldn't you like to have police power
for just few minutes?
And when you see a man humping
into another car and running away
from the scene, wouldn't you like to
stop him and ask him what he means
and if he considers himself an Am
erican citizen?
1t was this kind of spirit which ami
mated Lawrence Berger and his friends
Sunday evening when they gave pur-
suit to Pasquale Olidieri, 116 West
street, after seeing him back out of
his yard and hit another car and drive
on.
The public spirit of the young men
cost one of them, August Piehl, a
wound in the right arm, caused by a
thrust from knife carried by Olidieri,
it is alleged. And this morning both
parties appeared in the municipal
court to explain the episode.
Berger Saw sPixer."
According to the version of the in
cident as given by Berger this is what
| happened:
Berger. August Piehl, John Liese and
Emil Graham were driving Ford au-
tomobile south on West street. There
was another Ford parked on the east
side of West street. Just then anoth-
er, third Ford was seen backing out
of the yard at 116 West street. This
Ford, driven by Pasquale Olidieri,
backed across the street and struck the
parked Ford. The ''piker" Ford didn't
stop to pick up the pieces but trotted
on, going South on West street.
Berger and his friends started in
pursuit of the fugitive Ford in their
own Ford They chased the fleeing car
to Market street, west on Market to
South Main, north of South Main to
Pearl, and east on Pearl to West
street again. There the olidieri Ford
stopped.
Brings Out a Knife.
Berger, who had been signalling the
Ford and trying to get it to stop, got
out and had word to say to the driv-
err. He asked Olidieri why he had not
stopped after hitting the other car.
An argument ensued Olidieri, ac-
cording to Berger, started to fight. He
knocked Berger down and got on top
of him. Berger called for help and
was joined by his friend, Piehl. Piehl
tried to grab Olidieri, when Olidieri
pulled a knife and stabbed him in the
arm Piehl with his right arm bleed
ing from the wound was taken to the
police station by his pals and there
his wound was dressed by DR.. Swart-
hout.
Olidieri was arrested by
officers H. Rock and O'Hare a little
later He admitted that he had been
in fight but denied using a knife
He said that his wife was with him
irs the car. According to Berger and
his friends there were two men with
0hdieri.
Mrs. Olidieri was questioned by the
police. Her statement was that she
had. not been out in the car with
Pasquale. She said she was at home
all afternoon and all evening.

BANKER
ATTENDS MEET
E. J. Geittman Returns
from Important Bankers
Meet in Milwaukee
URGES THRIFT COURSE

Cashier E. ]. Geittman of the Ken
osha State Bank has just returned
to this city from Milwaukee where
he attended an important meeting of
bankers at the headquarters of the
Wisconsin Bankers Association.
This meeting was held by group
of prominent bankers of the state for
| the purpose of working out plans
whereby a closer cooperation between
bankers and the public schools can
be brought about. Under existing cir
cumstances the young people of Wis
consin are learning all their lessons
in economics and thrift from theoret-
ical and book standpoints. Through
some cooperation on the part Of the
bankers of Wisconsin, men who have
had years of interesting experience
in these fields, could be brought into
the schools. for occasional lectures
| that might be of inestimable value to
our young people. 1t has been sug-
gested that not only the bankers Of
school classes and other educational
gatherings, but that also they invite
their loci schools into the banks so
the boys and girls may learn at first
hand of the intricate and important
field of banking and business.
| Must Make Thrift Interesting.
| "Unless we can make thrift and in
! dustry seem interesting and easy to
our young people" said Mr.. Geittman,
"There is little hope of our produc-
ing really progressive State. After
all, the bankers do owe a real serv-
ice to Wisconsin. We want to do
everything we can to assure the sue
cess and happiness of our citizens, and
| T know of no better way to accomp-
lish this than while they are still
in the schools. If we can but instill
these virtues in an interesting and
practical way, while our people are
| young, we shall have done much for
the future success of the citizens of
Wisconsin,"
The Committee also endorsed the
prize essay contest announced by
Forbes Magazine of New York on the
subject "What is Your Bank Doing
for You and Your Community" This
contest is nationwide in scope and
offers a $1,000 cash prize as well as
number of lesser rewards. Details
may be had from any Wisconsin bank
er and it is sincerely hoped that some
man or woman from this State may
write an essay that will bring the
prize to Wisconsin.

DEMOCRATS HOPE
FOR JUCIER PLUMS
Division Among Republicans Expected
to Give Democrats Representation
on Boards.

Washington.-Incre Dem ocratiC
representation on the committees OF
the new house is forecast as a result
of the reduction of the Republican ma.
jority in the house from ITO to 16. Ii
the last congress the Republicans fixed
the ratio at two majority members to
one of the minority, but the Democrats
claim and the Republican leaders ap-
pear inclined to concede that there
should be re-apportionment.
In the Goth. congress in which the
Democrats had plurality of two, the
ratio was IL to 9, and the Democratic
leaders are expected for the same d.
vision in this congress. The Republi-
cans particularly in that they have 20
make concessions to the progressives
in their party in making their commit
tee assignments, probably will insist,
however, on the 10 to ratio of the
Goth congress, in which their plurality
was around fifty.
The number of places on each cont
mittee which is to be allotted to the
majority and the minority will be de-
cided at conferences of the majority
members of the, house, which under
present plans will be held December /,
two days before the converting of con-
gress. Assignments Of the Republican
members to committees then will be
made by the committee on committees.
Before the e-apportionment that is
to be worked out and the unusual num-
Der Of vacancies in committee chair
manships and places, the committee on
committees will face a laborious task.
The result of its labors will be subject
to approval first by the party confer
ence and then by the house. Demo-
cratic places on the various committees
will be filled by the ranking Democrat
on the ways and means committee af-
ter conferences with the leaders Of this
party. There are II vacancies in COM
mittee chairmanships. due to the re-
tirement voluntary or enforced Of the
former chairmen.
Representative Graham of Pennsyl-
vania is in line to succeed Volstead of
Minnesota on judiciary, the committee
which handles prohibition enforcement
legislation, and Griest of Pennsylvania
to succeed Stevenson of Minnesota at
the head of the post office committee.
