WAR VETS UNABLE
 TO RECALL PAST
Amnesia Sufferers Still Pay
 Prices of Heroism.

It is eight years since the close Of the World War.
 Yet thousands of young Ameri- cans. who should be enjoying all the healthful activities of youth, are still paying the price in gov ernment hospitals. hopelessly crippled.
 Among these victims of the war there are no more 'pitiful cases than the victims of am- nesia--loss of memory.
 Nearly every government hos pital has at least one such case: q young man in perfect condition physically. who cannot recall single fact concerning the life that was his before the war. Mem ory is gone, these chaps can remember only the things that have happened after the war ended.
 Some of them are cared for in the home Of their parents; others do not know who their parents are and have no means of get ting in touch with them. They live at the Hospitals, unable to communicate with loved ones who may even be living in the next town.
 Jim ElWell was a young war veteran in such a predicament. His mind had been wiped clean of everything that had happened before that shell exploded near him at Sedan. He did not recog- nize his parents, did not even know the sweetheart that was waiting for him.
 He was luckier than most, however. For a solution was found for him, and his happiness was restored to him.
 His experience is told graph ically in Broken Threads which Is appearing in the. Herald.

VERDICT STANDS
Judge Baldwin Allows Jury's
 S7,000 Award In Full

Judge Alfred (. Baldwin of the su- perior court refused to grant the de fendants s motion Co set aside the iury's award of S7.000 to the plaintiff in the case of Alfred Rooney vs. Charles Rob itaille Both parties live in Piainheld.
 The case was the only jury case tried at the November civil session and the award was one of the largest ever given for an injured leg. lt was shown that the plaintiff had suffered consid- erably and was probably permanently injured
 Reviews Testimony
 Judge Baldwin in reviewing the tes- timony of the case as to the defend ants loss of employment, hospital and medical bills says At the time the verdict was rendered the plaintiff had lost approximately fifty weeks from his regular employment. total of SgG0 in wages He had at other em- plovment earned s200, so that his net loss of waRes was S760. His hospital and medical expenses amounted to S324.95. Therefore his loss in wages and medical and hospital expenses amounted to Sl .0s195 These amounts are easily determinable. The verdict was for S7 1000 There Is. therefore, S5,945.05 of the verdict for eompensa- tion for pain and suffering and the other elements that combine Co make up the plaintiff damages.
 "The verdict impressed me as being large in view of the plaintiffs age, sixty-nine years, his earning capacity and his general physical condition, as t was at and preceding the injury as indicated by the evidence and his ap- pearance. He is still under the sur geon's care: his recovery was not good and the jury may reasonably have found permanent injuries which will substantially interfere with his future earning capacity

ers Are Risking Penalties
Thousands Have But Few Days Left
for Registering Cars and Trucks
FEB. Is Last Day

Scores of Stearns county automo-
bile and truck owners are risking
penalties of from % cents to SO on
state motor vehicle registrations, for
failure to obtain new 1926 license
plates before the eleventh hour and
because the state legislature is not
now in session to extend the iron-clad
time limit fixed by law.
Only immediate applications will
allow penalty escapes.
But 107,439. out of nearly 100000
motor vehicles in the state were reg

were being receivd ate the rate of
less than 5000 daily, according to an
official report from the office of Mike
Holm, secretary of state and regis
trar of motor vehicles. At that rate,
it was said, penalties were in pros
pect on more than half the autos and
trucks. The total registrations were
little larger proportionately than last
year when the legislature was forced
to extend the delinqunt date. This
year there can be no extension, it was
explained, and owners will wait until
the last minute at their own risk.
Stearns county owners are warned
accordingly to apply at once and
