sweetIy Expressed.

Not for worlds would Mrs. Smith
speak an unkind word about any one.
She was one of those charitable old
ladies who try to think and speak
kindly of every one. If any one asked
her opinion of person, and she did
not particularly like the individual
in question she would express her
feelings in such g quaint and origin
al way that the sting would be quite
lost.
What brilliant conversationalist
young Mr.. Jenkins isl" said a friend
to her one day. "Do you know him?
Really, it's an education to listen to
him talking"
YES" said gentle Mrs. Smith, T
have met him."
You must have found him very
entertaining. why, he. can talk
cleverly and wittily for an hour at a
stretch"
Then when l met him,n said Mrs.
Smith, with sweet smile, 1t must
have been at the beginning of the

TO HARNESS GALE
FOR FARM WORK
British Expect to Generate
Cheap Electricity.


London.-Haying failed to achieve
any world-beatings records. in aerially
racing the wind, John Bull is trying
to harness the "blawsted'' gale.
An 'airplane windmill" invented by
a Berlin scientist, Major BiIau, is the
backbone of the effort A specimen of
this invention and four other types
have been erected on the hilly ground
near Harpenden, in Hertfordshire,
where the Oxford University Institute
OF Agricultural Engineering has estab-
lished testing ground.
Englishmen have been so encour-
aged by the results Of the experiments
to date that they already have visions
of huge economies and brighter coun-
tryside, through the cheap generation
of electricity.
1t is believed that q windmill will
eventuate capable of operating all
of the plant of large farm or of sup
plying all the needs Of the average
village-lighting the streets and
houses. and, perhaps, running its
movie" house. After the Installation,
1t is thought, the cost of operation will
be almost nil All the attention re
CURED will be the visit of man with
an oil can once. month.
The steel sails of the Bilau aero
dynamo are mounted on a stout post
some thirty feet high They give the
appearance Of a greatly magnified air
plane propeller The sails are so con-
structed that suction is brought into
play to get every possible ounce Of
turning power from the wind AS the
sails revolve they set cogs in motion.
which operate a dynamo contained In
a balloon-like attachment behind the
propeller. The current so generated
is carried by wires to the power sta
ton.
The testing station officials have
found a machine Of the older type
generates three-quarters of a kilowatt,
with the wind blowing at FIVE miles
an hour. Under similar conditions,
they say, the Bilau machine is appar-
emily capable of registering at least
five kilowatts, or roughly the equiva-
lent Of a seven horsepower motor.

hunt Jack rabbits In Nebraska must
resort to the bow and arrow, accord
ing to an opinion by Attorney General
Spillman In answer to a request from
the foreign language information SER

The Nebraska law forbfds aliens to

wrote. An alien may fish or hunt If
he so desires. but the law against
aliens carrying firearms would make
Il necessary for him to do his hunting

On March 6, 1924, the New
York Telephone Company filed
with the Board of Public IT'LL
ity Commissioners new sched-
ules of rates for local telephone
service in Northern New Jer-
sey, to become effective April l ,
1924.
These rates were suspended
by the Board pending investiga-
ton, but the Board did not
reach a decision until Deem
Der 81, 1924, which decision the
management of the company
was convinced would result in
the con6scation of the COM
pany's property used in the
public service.
To enable the company to
fulfill its obligations tothepub-
lie, as well as to protect it's
stockholders, it was imperative
that such confscation should
be stopped at the earliest pos
sible moment, and, therefore,
application for an injunction
was made to the United States
District Court for New Jersey,
upon the ground that the Com-
missions order was in violation
of the Constitution of the
United States.

The Telephone Rate
Decision

On May z, 1925, the court
decided that the order of the
Board, requiring the company
to continue the existing rates
for local telephone service was
conhscatory and invalid, and
on May II made a decree en-
joining the enforcement of the
Boards order; this injunction
to remain in force pending the
trial and determination of the
company's suit and until the
further order of the Court.
The company is required to
file bond of two million dol
lars with the Court to insure
the prompt repayment to sub
scribers as the Court may di-
rect, of any sums paid by them
for local telephone service in ex-
cess of rates now in effect,
should the final determination
be adverse to the company.
The schedules of rates for
local telephone service which
the company filed on March 6,
1924, will become effective on
June /, 1925, and billsfor local
telephone service will be rem
dered in accordance Herewith.
