Many Veterans Get
Insurance Resumed

Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines. direc-
tor of the u. S. Veterans Bureau,
announced that the exact amount
of war risk insurance reinstated
and converted by veterans prior to
midnight Of July 2, cannot be given
at this time, due to the fact that
all applications have not yet been
received from the Bureaus Region
al Offices and hospitals. zen.
Hines estimated, however, that the
applications for conversion of year
~ renewable term insurance dur
ing the month of June alone will
run between $4,000 and 100000.
Of this number, it was estimated
that more than 100000 men who
had previously allowed their in
surance to lapse. reinstated their
insurance during that period.
Gen. Hines called attention to the
fact that the enormous volume of
applications received has passed all
expectations and makes the task of
recording and issuing the new con-
verified policies an unprecedented
one. Applications are being acted
upon in the order in which they
are received in the Bureau. For
this reason, Gen. Hines stated, all
applicants are urged to continue
payments of their premiums even
though they have not received their
policies; and to further assist in
expcditing the work, the veterans
are also urged to refrain from writ
ing the Bureau concerning their
insurance as receipt of additional

There is no more priced possession

Potato Freight Rates
Will Be Investigated

Eoth state and interstate rates on
potatoes will be involved III the hear
ings regarding freight rates OH thai
commodity to be held soon by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, ac-
cordinp to information received here
by officials of the state railroad
board.
The potato rate investigation was
launched by the federal body on its
own motion in connection with its
general Investigation of freight rate :
on agricultural products and has
been made part 10 Of docket $4,000,
This docket is the number used by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to designate agricultural products in
vestigations and already is tho most
voluminous in the history Of the
commission.
The dates and places Of hearings to
be held in Connection with the potato
rate investigation have not yet been
fixed, board members said.
Another recent move of the federal
body is the rcopening of what is
known as the South Dakota hay ease.
In that investigation the Interstate
Commerce Commission established a
level of rates on hay from South
Dakota points to the Twin Cities and
held that lower rates, in effect from
North Dakota and other states, were
discriminatory.
In the new hay rate investigation
the entire matter will be considered

SAYANT IRKED
AT NEW FADS
New York " Professor Con-
dennis Cross Word Puzzles,
ASK Me Another Tests

"Don't let anybody see you work
ing a Cross Word Puzzle or trying
to answer the questions in Ask Me
l.nothcr'. If you arc caught at it,
You will be put down as moron,
or at least as one who is trying to
get out Of the moron Glass;" warns
'Dr. Charles Gray Shaw. professor
of Philosophy at New York Uni
vcrsity.
"The person who was addicted to
the old Cross Word Puzzle and who
has switched to the Ask Me
Another is one who wishes to
show that he is not in the class of
morons. This intelligence test, self
imposed, is something left over
from the war. When men were
assembled in camps, it was doubt
less necessary to knew how much
gray matter there was per capita,
so that there had to be a measure
for the mind as we'll as drill for
the body. But there is no longer
that need.
Is Age Old Curiosity
"The intelligence craze is only an
agc-old curiosity and ancestral
egotism showing itself in the form
of up-to-date psychology" DR..
Shaw informs. "Men used to con-
suit the stars to find out how they
saffected the individuals destiny.
They looked to prophets with the
same confidence that one now puts
in lawyers. They went to fortune
tellers, -clairvoyants, mind-readers,
palmists, numerologists, and they
are still going.
Everybody is curious about HIM

sire to see how one looks that max es

of mental photography whereby
one can see how his brain looks.
The question book is only a camera
for his mind"
DR.. Shaw explains that the peo-
pie who devote their time and
energy to tinkering. with puzzles
and questions have become aware
of the fact that there is such a
thing as Intelligence" Intelligence
quotients" and "morons". These
people have become alarmed at the

sweeping the land, and desire to
save themselves from it. Such peo-

ASCENDS THRONE IN
TROUBLOlS TINE


King Ferdinand assembled the Ru-
manian throne during the troublous
times shortly after the outbreak Of

greatly agitated regarding the posi-
ton Rumania was to take in the con-
flict. During the first sm onths

oath as king upon the death sof his
uncle in October. 1914, and immedi-
ately announced that Rumania would
remain neutral unless attacked.
During speech from the throne
in November, 1915, King Ferdinand
was shouted down with cries of
"Down with Hungary;" "Down with
Germany" ."Down with the Hohen-
zollerns." This demonstration was
taken as an indication Of the govern
mcnt's sympathy in the conflict,
Ferdinand and his predecessor hav-
ing been princes of the house of
H0henzol!ern.
Rumania Enters
+, In August, 1916, the former Ger
man kaiser sent letter to King
Ferdinand. informing him that it was
sion to Bucharest relative to Ru-
mania's position. The king replied
that such an act would be inoppor-
tune and since he was a constitution
al monarch, he would be obliged to
refer the envoy to his ministers. A
few days later Rumania entered the
conflict on the side Of the Allies by
declaring war against Austria. This
action was believed to have resulted
from the influence Of Queen Marie,
who was princess royal Of Great
Britain and Ireland. The declaration
by Rumania was followed almost i'm
mcdiately by Germany declaring War
against Rumania.
With his troops at the front King
Fcrdinand's throne began to totter
from intrigue charged against Eu-
manian politicians and German
agents, who planned to dethrone ths

in his place. There were even plots
against the life Of the king.
,Rumania's position in the war was
difficult one and after nearly two
years fighting two-thirds of the
country was oyerrun by the enemy.

clothes are being worn on the stage
this year. II
The far-famed Folies- Bergerc
and other music halls still save a
lot on the cloth on the costumes
of some of their prize beauties, but
they no longer boycott the textile
mills entirely, as they did a few
years ago. It isn't q virtuou5
streak that has cropped out in the
show business, but rather . swing
from the extreme of nakedness.
There was such q sameness about
the many show girls and the many
shows, all after foreign money, that
the excitement began to wear off.
The police also suggested some
months ago that if the theatres
went any further some of the blue
laws would be busted off and put
to work.
Consequently beautiful costumes
and startling scenery and stage
mechanics were tried and have
proved popular.

Mr.. Johnson believes the mother
hippo was giving the yOungster his
first swimming lesson on the day of
his capture. The pigmy weighs about
80 pounds. Eventually he will attain
a weight of about 600 pounds. He is
u true hippopotamus, but varies in
several other respects besides size
from his giant relative. lie has long
er, slenderer legs, q longer tail and a
much larger brain. His eyes are set
in the side of his head instead of on
top as in the giant species, and he
looks very much like a sucking pig.
The present specimen has become
very tame and answers to the name
of Billy" lie will come to Mr.. John
son when called.
Ordinarily the pigmy spends little
of his time in the water. lie is i'll
fitted for aquatic life, but can be
found in the dense jungles. This
species probably was the forerunner Of
the giant hippopotamus, and roamed
over southern Europe. The present ar
rival is the fourth of the species now
in the United States
