BERLIN, May PA judge VINO
was found mapping has given rise TO
a far-reaching controversy IN Ger
many. In the course of events this
question was referred to the German
Supreme Court at Leipzig, which came
to the strange decision that his honor
may safely take his little snooze now
and then, for in passing judgment 1t
is his body, not his mind, which is the
principal factor concerned.
AS was to be expected, this decision
has again evoked heated discussion
among the best known jurists in the
country. Prof. I. Goldschmidt, the
legal authority at the Berlin Univer-
sity, expresses his opinion thus:
zone cannot expect judge to give
his undivided attention to the proceed
ings. He is obliged to sign documents,
to received messages and to answer
numerous whispered questions during
the trial. But If it is positively proved
that he has been asleep, the case be-
comes prohibitive, for sleep signifles
loss of consciousness, and also ire
sponsibility."

MILTON, Mass. June 13.-About
this season, as the old almanacs used
to say, expect thunderstorms. In

life, but the hazard can be diminished
considerably If the advice Of men who
have made thorough study Of the
electrical discharges of the atmos-
phere is followed.
One Of these experts Is Alexander
G.. MacAdie, director OF the Blue Hill
Observatory and professor OF meteor
ology at Harvard University. In the
little building on the wind-swept sum-
NIT of Blue Hill. the highest point in
eastern Massachusetts and in the
midst of the Blue Hill forest reserva-
ton. he has spent many years in
watching and analyZing the action OF
the elements. He has made a special
study of thunderstorms and some
time ago he formulated a set Of
suggestions to help people take care
of themselves during such disturb
ances. Since that time, he says, ex-
perience has borne out the value of
these suggestions and science has not
developed any new means or safe
guarding a person against lightning
discharges.

than probably any other.
The doorway of a barn or a window
near a chimney also are dangerous
places to stand, because lightning FOL

especially warm air. When the flashes
are heavy or numerous keep away
from chimneys, trees. fiagpoles or
metal clotheslines, and cut out your

Stay Indoors.
You are safer indoors than out.
The probability of person In an

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 8.-The move by President Coolidge to have a bill passed by Congress regulating rentals in the District of Columbia, has stirred up realtors, who are ap- pealing to realtors of other cities in half page advertisements to enter protest The president has ordered the Department of Justice to investi- gate charges of mortgage pyramiding and fictitious sales to raise values, and has asked a police survey of vacant houses and apartments.
 The President requested the chair man of the District of Columbia rent commission to draft for Congress a regulatory bill based upon the police powers of the Federal government. Increased rentals here to government employees have forced higher wages which in turn forces up the cost of living throughout the country.

 The Eighteenth amendment noti- fed the world that the United States would undertake the stupendous task of ending the liquor traffic. We are entitled all governments respect this policy and compel their people to re- spect it."
 He cited Chamberlain's declaration to Russia: You can either control your national in it's effort to SOW dis cord among other peoples, or you can not" We say to Britain, "You have a government or you have not. You can control your nationals in their effort to break our policy >1d plant murder and misery among other peo- ples or you cannot"

WILBUR TELLS
 COMMITTEE US,
 NEEDS A NAVY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Although declaring his department wanted a navy in accordance with the five-fve- three ratio throughout, Secretary Wilbur today told the House Naval committee that the administrators economy program prevented his re- commenting gun elevation and in- dorsing the pending s7O,OOO,OOO con- struction bill.
 Secretary Hughes read letter to the committee which opposed the ele- vation of American guns on capital ships. He said that their elevation would not violate the terms of the treaty but would promote naval com petition, and contended tfat elevation in this respect would to neu- tralize the disarmament 'oceedings. Senator Capper said that he believed opposite to Secretary Hughes and be- lieved our navy should equal in strength and the number of vessels that of any other nation.
 Asked whether the American navy equalled that of the British, Secretary
 Wilbur proffered the report of naval experts made to the committee at a previous sitting. He stated that the United States made ships slower than the British government, believing the weight in armor more valuable than speed in engines. He declared that the speed of the slowest vessel de. termined the mobility of the fleet. The British navy had several slow capital ships. He pronounced the idea that a 2,o00 pound bomb dropped upon a ves- sel would jam it's turrets and the shock incapacitate the crew was ridic- ulous. The practicability Of the Shen- endoah and the Los Angeles have not yet been proven and the big dirigibles may be utterly useless in war.
 Secretary Hughes letter said that
 the British "laid particular emphasis
 upon what it called the larger aspect
 of the question; that one of the ob- jects of the treaty is to reduce the
 burden of competition in armaments. ''

LIYENCOOD HOTEL HAS FIERCE BLAZE AND
 BURNS TO GROUND

One of the fiercest fires that has ever occurred in the Livengood dis trict happened on the morning of the 24th, when the Livengood Hotel, a wooden structure, owned and op- erated by Mrs. A. L. Dickenson, went up in flames and burned to the ground within an hour. All efforts to recover furniture and personal be- longings proved futile as the ravag- ing flames swept from one end of the building to the other.
 Guests stopping at the hotel at the time were all asleep, as the fire broke out in the early morning. Liv- engood being but a small camp, is one of those unfortunate places where the fire demon has the advant- age in that no fire department is being maintained by it. The loss of the hotel is estimated at about ST.. 900.
 Mrs. Dickenson, the proprietor of the hostelry is well-known business women of Interor and a sourdough of the Fairbanks region, having own- ed divers establishments for years throughout the Tolavana district and was at one time in business in Nena- na when the latter town boasted of a population envied by other towns along the Alaskan coast. When Nena- na was doomed and took the count, After construction days of the Alas. ka Railroad, Mrs. Dickenson was one of the business women to seek better pay. She started rOadhouse at Log Jam, on the Tolavana river and later moved to Livengood where she received her recent loss. It is Mrs. Dckenson's intention, according to a letter received in Seward, to remove to Fairbanks and look over the field there for future prospects. She being interested in other business in h. terior camps she will make Fair banks her Headquarters for a time.
 Her daughter has been visiting with her for the past month, the latter los ing considerable of her belongings. After spending a month or so with her mother, she will come to Seward, where she expects to make her home.
