 illustrating how certain incidents take root in a child's mind and show ed themselves in adult life with re- gard to taking food, pr. Forsyth took as an example a child, who at an early age, had been frightened by a large collie dog. The dog ran after the child and parked and the child naturally thought the animal was going to kill and eat him. Af- ter that he had morbid fear of kill ing anything, and refused flesh of all kind that had to be killed before it could be eaten. From that time onward the child was a vegetarian, he said. This, added the speaker, was the psychological origal of vege- tarianism.

 Pete Marinoff and Elmer F. Ander- son, both of Tacoma, Albert Clau- sen and Charles A. Smith, of Seat tie and Crown witnesses, yesterday told the jury the secret of rum run ming. Marinoff and Anderson took the delivery of two hundred and fifty cases of liquor from Gillis off Sid ney Island on the evening of Sep tember 15 and used same in forming part of their cargo for Tacoma.

AUTO MAGNATE
WILL RETIRE
WITH MILLION
Was Laughed at 81 Years
Ago When He Announced
Such an Intention

Boston, Dec. 29.-tP) Thirty one
years ago l4-year-old apprentice
mechanic in the Dewpew, New York
shops Of the New York Central rail
road told u little group of grease
smeared companions that when he
made u million dollars he would re-
tire. They laughed and told him
that with his 10 cents an hour sal
ary he need never to worry over his
million-Or retirement.
But on New Years day that ap-
prentice mechanic will retire. He is
Joseph S. Donovan, president and
treasurer of the Donovan Motor Car
company of Boston. an automobile
distributing agency. He has made
his million and intends to fulfill his
promise.
The promise was prompted by the
sight of an old man feebly making
his way to an office where he hop
ed to amass more millions. He al
ready had one million and Donovan
resolved that was enough for any
man.
Beginning work at the age of II
Donovan was, in turn, drug store
clerk, railroad car tinker, automo-
bile mechanic, second hand moto,
car dealer, and sub-agency head. In
1912 he assumed control of the
agency which today bears his name
and from which he drew his mil.

consolidation of that institution
with the Chase National Bank is
imminent as a preliminary step in
the building of large financial
structure.
Five ether institutions are men

sources-when and if combined
would be in excess of 100000
