"The law-breaking that goes on
everywhere nowadays fills us with
something like despair. The man

worse than the poorhouse optimist.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE AEDVARK.


The Ardvark is a type of bear
Which makes of ants his bill of fare,
The large ones he employs as meats,
The very little ones for sweets.
He pulls them upward, through his
nose,
AS we pump water through hose.
He has rare gastronomic thrills
When ne observes the high heapeti
hills
Where many million ants invite
His always eager app5 tlte.
The same thrill comes to you and me
When pie Or Chocolate cake we see.
The simple Ardvark feels no shame
Because he Las an ugly hame,
Nor does he deem it a disgrace
10 own an unatrractiv4 face.
On both Of these he takes his chance
If he can find abundant ants.
We don't eat ants, and that is why
He never lacks for his supply
lie wolGd not bite lis il he could
Because his heart is kind and good.
For our part we let him a1ore
Although his ways are not our own,
For only can the world advance
BY gentle, mutual tolerance.
NO RUSH.
Mr.. Dempsey hasN agreed to fight
anybody Mr.. Rickard may select We
do not believe Mr.. Rackard will be
swamped with applications.
NOTHING OF LESS CONSEQUENCE.
With whole universe to direct, it
is not surprising that Providence had

Lewis.
THE DRIVE OF NECESSITY.
Five expeditions are about to look

POISON BOOZE
TAKES T0LL0F
II IN new YORK
Deaths Less Than Year Ago,
But Hospital Cases More
Than 1924-25 Combined

New York, Dec. 27.--(P Poison
Christmas liquor and excessive drink
ing today had garnered toll here of
II deaths, three less than last year,
and 73 persons sent to hospitals for
alcoholism, more than for 1924 and
1925 together.
Eight Of the deaths were in Man
haitian and three in Brooklyn.
Improperly redistilled alcohol was
largely responsible, in the opinion of
DIR. Charles Norris, chief medical ex-
aminer. DR.. Thomas A. Gonzales. as
sistant medical examiner, said, how
ever, autopsies on seven of the deaths
indicated that excessive drinking
rather than poisonous elements was
responsible.
DR.. Norris said the bootleggers
were so rushed that in redistilling
liquor, known to contain poisonous
substanances, they would not take
time to remove sufficient poison.
Is Cases Serious
OF 65 cases Of alcoholism reported d
by Bellevue hospital, only Is were
considered serious and attendants said
all probably would recover. Twenty
of the IS were released after treat
ment. Included in those admitted
were eight women.
Only one victim of bad liquor was
reported in Chicago over the week
end, but DR.. Hermon N. Bundesen
city health commissioner there, esti-
mated that "poison" costing upward
Of $1O,OOO,0O0 was distributed in that
city as gifts.

workman died from drinking home

ROMANCE OF
PRINCE CAROL
Is FINISHED
Magda Lupescu, Who Fled
With Him From Rumania Il
Year Ago, Has Left Him

Paris, Dec. 27.--(R9--Magda Lu-
pescu, auburn-haircd beauty for
Whom Crown Prince Carol of Ru-
mania renounccd his right of sue
cession to the throne, has apparently
passed out of his life.
Those credited with knowing his
affairs say the romance, which be-
gan with the flight of the couple
from Rumania a year ago, has ended.
The former crown prince-now plain
Carol Caraiman-has left his Ncuilly
Villa and is believed to be some
where on the Riviera, leaving his
charming companion behind.
Carols departure gave rise to the
report that he was on his way back
to Rumania, but this is not given
crcdcncc.
It was just year ago this week
that Carol and Nine. Lupescu, daugh-
ter Of Jewish merchant of Jassy,
left Rumania and appeared at a hotel
In Milan. Italy. Nine. Lupescu was
said to have husband somewhere
In the background, and Carol was
married to Princess Helen of Greece.
RenOunces Throne
Upon leaving RumaniA, Carol re-
n0unced his right Of succession to
the throne, and his abdication was
made legal by act of the Rumania
parliament shortly afterward
He and his companion spent some
time in Milan and then came to Paris
and engaged the villa in Neuilly.
The house now 10 occupied only by
uncommunicative servants and the
detectives stationed rs q guard by
the French authorities have been
Withdrawn pending his return.
Nine. Lupescu ID reported to be liv-
ing about mile from the villa.

Washington. Dec. 27 R--Extcn-

bureau has perfected Il method of
carbonizing raw Ignite into bri-
quettcd fuel char and the produ
uct is believed to be capable of meet
ing industrial demands.
Lignitc deposits make up nearly
onc-third Of the total solid fuel re-

Extensive Ignite fields lie chiefly
in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming,

such enormous potential economic
