Yes or No?

/. Are the so-called trained fleas
really educated?
.. Has any other country as large
supply Of helium gas as the United
States?
Answers to These Questions May Be
Found
I. No. The activities Of trained
fleas are really due to their efforts
to escape. The flea is tied with a
fine silk thread. the other end OF
which is securely fastened to an i'm
movable object or to a small coach
which the flea will pull as far as the
thread permits it to go.
2. No. There are very few known
gas wells outside the United States
where helium gas is available.

The Rhyming
Optimist
Only for Lovers.
By Aline Michaelis

/ know a road where no shadows
stray, road where no tempests pass,
only the sunlight, day by day, Gid
ing flowers and the grass. Oniy the
gayest song birds there, only the sweet
est flowers, only the gentlest, fragrant
air waited from rOse-hung bowers. /
know a season filled with song set in
a sacred year, season where all things
bright belong, never Il froWu or a
tear. Few are the ones w;>l may tread
this road, glimpscs the wonders there,
freed from all weight Of mans daily
load, burdens Of pain and care. Brief
is this season Of April mirth, fragrant
with rose and song; fair, too fair for
the sons Of earth ever 70 dwell there
long. Only for lovers these cloudless
skies shine on a sacred year: only for
lovers whose happy eyes fashion a per-
feet sphere.

WATERWAYS LEADERS
APPEAL TO COOLIDGE
Mississippi Valley Association Asks
for Legislation by the
Next Congress-

st, houis, Mo- /. An appeal di-
rect to the president of the United
States urging that he not only help
to get inland waterway legislation
past Congress but to see that its exc
cution is rapid after the legislation is
passed, was the outstanding matter
proposed by the Mississippi Valley AS
ISOLATION here.
This urging of President Coolidge,
combined with a determination on the
part of the association to establish a
standing committee at Washington to
assist congressman in putting over the
pending waterway legislation, was
probably the most important step
taken by the association in years.
The resolution urging President
Coolidge to cooperate with the associa-
ton also asked him to include the wa
terway project in his annual message.
Further than this the resolution called
upon all congressman in the twenty
six valley states to present the appeal
in definite form to congress and to in
sist upon action without equovation
or delay" "a
The association condemned the
present policy of congress in making
piece-meal and inadequate appropria-
tions for waterways" holding that it
is subvertive to the public welfare and
contrary to real economy.
Not content with telling the prcsi-
dent and Congress that they wanted
all existing projects completed within
five years, as specified in the Porter
bill, the convention also asked for
United States governmental survey of
all the streams in the Mississippi.
Missouri and Ohio river valleys which
are not now projects, to see if they
could be made profitable and eco
nomical as a supplement to the present
adopted projects.
Members of the inland waterway
corporation are:
Brigadier General T. @. Ashburn,
chairman of the board; Halleck w.
Zaman, Clinton, Iowa; M. j. Sanders,
New Orleans; w. H. Jacoby, Pitts
burgh; James E. Smith, st. Louis and
w. A. Brown, Birmingham, Ala.

RAILROAD SUED
FOR LARGE SUM
Accident at Garden Street
Crossing Results in
$4,000 Suits.
HUSBAND, SON KILLED

An accident at Garden street cross
ing, Kenosha's own death Crossing,
on the night Of March %, 1925, when
the lives of man and son were
snuffed out, is finding it's aftermath
in the Racine circuit court today. The
Chicago & Northwestern Railway COM
pany is defendant in two actions total
ing $4,000 damages, one in which
Mrs. Constance Rusczek, formerly OF
Racine, but now living in Kenosha, is
plaintiff, and the second suit against
the railroad for an additional $4,000
is filed by Albert Rusczek, minor
son of Theophil Rusczek who" was
killed in the accident.
The first suit involving damages for
the death Of husband calls for
$4,000 for this loss, and an addition
al $4,000 because Mrs. Rusczek was
deprived Of the earning power Of her
bread-winner.
Try One Case First.
This suit is being tried before Cir
cult Judge E. B. Belden in Racine to-
day, the trial of the second suit pend
ing on the outcome Of the first, it was
announced.
The complaint alleges that Rusczek
and his son, Albert, and John Rut-
kowski and his son were approaching
the Garden street crossing on the
night of March 90 when their automo-
bile was struck by freight train COM
ing from the south. Rusczek was
fatally injured, the scr was seriously
hurt, and John Rutkowski was killed.
Rutkowski's son was also seriously
hurt. According to the complaint, the
engineer in the case failed TO keep
a proper lookout when approaching
the crossing and no warning signals
were given, such negligence being re-
sponsible for the accident, says the
complaint.
A coroner's inquest was held in Ke-
nosha Immediately after the accident
and at this time it was brought out
that the driver of the ca had mistak-
en- motions of the gateman for sig
nal to come ahead. The flagman tes-
titled that he was swinging his red
lantern to stop.
Testimony in the case is being con-
tinued through this afternoon, and
probably will go to the jury some time
late today, it was indicated.
