He Cussed King Albert
and Got Medal for IL

Henry Himpe's comrades in the
American Legion at Omaha, Neb., re-
fer to him as 'the only man who
cussed king and got medal for it. !"
During the fighting in the trenches
in the early days of the war, some
one tugged at Himpe's shoulder. Not
knowing who his mud-bespattered
companion was, Himpe peremptorily
told him to '"get the HI out of here
or I'll shoot YOU" 1t was King Albert
of Belgium.
A few days later Himpe was called
to headquarters and reprimanded for
not being more polite TO his COM
rades. That was the first he knew
that the man he threatened to shoot
was his own king.
King AL later came to look on the
incident as a joke and after the war
introduced Himpe to the court as the
man who threatened to kill me-"
Himpe recently received notice that
he was awarded the Belgian war cross
with one palm. He is chauffeur at
Omaha.

Butcher by No Means
the Only Profteer

"Talk about food profiteers !"
growled the butcher, as he charged up
a two-pound rumpsteak at 60 cents a
pound. "Why, 1 know people whose
profit has been from time irnmemorial
6,OOO per cent, and more. Yet you
don't jump on them. Why, then, jump
on me?
Take Junck's liver pills, for in
stance. l know Otto Junck's book
keeper, and the man tells me that this
Junck pill sells wholesale at exactly
5000 per cent profit.
Take mineral water-plain soda.
You can make and sell plain soda at
a profit of 10000 per cent. And, mind
you, no kicks.
Take false teeth. They used to
make false teeth out of ivory, and in
those days it was right to charge 500
a set for them. But now false teeth
are made of porcelain. They cost 10
cents apiece. Dentists profit, 10000
per cent.
$50 could go on. And you ask me
if my conscience isn't sore about this
6O-cent rumpsteak. Oh !"-Exchange

Air Turbine

In New Jersey meadow tract there
is a windmill that rotates on a verti
cal axis and is known as an air tur-
bine. The blades or sails, made OF
heavy canvas and brought about
automatically, come up to the vino
edgewise to the sheet.
The sheets are held to the outside
of the frame by metal clips that
straighten out and release the sheets
in an excessive wind. This allows the
sheets to rip or blow away entirely.
thus leaving the metal frame intact
in every part.
Each tier of blades is termed a unit
and is calculated to generate five OF
six horsepower per unit in a 25-mile
wind. A system of automatic brakes
is installed to regulate the speed OF
the machinery.

Libel Claimed in
 Publication of Story

Vancouver, B. c. Jan. 21.--In a writ issued in supreme court yester- day on behalf of Alexander c. Dick son, vendor of a, provincial govern ment liquor store here damages are claimed from A. B, Macdonald, writer of Kansas City the Curtis Publishing Co.,, Philadelphia and R. H. Best, Vancouver agent of the company, in consequence of a story alleged to have been written about the liquor store under his charge, which is said to have been published in the Ladies' Home' Journal.
 In what the plaintiff alleges is a highly colored and imaginative pie ture of actual conditions. the writer is said to have depleted boys and girls standing on tiptoe to reach the top of the bar for their bottles. This insinuates that he was breaking the law, because he is not permitted to sell liquor to any boy under 2l years of age, the vendor asserts.

ANTHRACITE PEACE IS BELIEVED NEAR
30 Per cent Of Unions Opposed
 '. to General Strike

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Jan. 22.-Peaca in the upper anthracite field, where for two months the hard coal out put has been seriously curtailed by the strike of 11,000 miners of the Pennsylvania Coal company and where conditions in the industry generally have been uncertain, with threats of a general walkout of the 0,000 workers, was believed by off, cials of the United Mine Workers today V be near at hand.
 Danger of 8 general strike in sympathy with the Pennsylvania men, for the present at least, has been averted, the general grievance committed, representing the men of district No. 1, having decided at a meeting last night not to take a district-wide strike vote. The meeting was called expressly for that purpose, but it was said by union officials that the grievance committee realized the proposition would be defeated and decided not to present 1t. It was reported that 90 per cent of the local unions in the district were opposed to a gen. eral strike order.
 Leaders of the miners organiza- ton today predicted an early set- clement of the Pennsylvania com- pany's walkout and a resumption of operations throughout the district. They based their optimism on a peace proposal submitted by the executive committee of the general grievance committee, which they declared was the most encouraging sign since the strike became effec- tive November 25.
 The executive committee. whose plan was approved by the general body, suggested that a meeting be arranged with the commission ap- pointed by International President John l.. Lewis to investigate the local situation, in an effort to ad- just the Pennsylvania strike. The plan provides that the revoked charters of the locals be restored with all rights and privileges and that no discrimination be shown against the strikers. Neal J. Ferry, chairman of the international commission, said this meeting probably would be held to- day or tomorrow in Scranton. In addition to members of the com- mission it is to be attended by the executive committee composed of 2 two men from the general griev- ance committees of the Lehigh Val ley, Lehigh and Wilkesbarre, Hud- son, and Glen Alden Coal companies, and by a subcommittee of the Pennsylvania general grievance committee made up of the presi- dents of the ten striking local l, unions. The general grievance com
 mittee will meet here Saturday night to receive reports of the con- ference with the international con-
 mission.
