SOCIALIST PLATFORM
IS OUTLINED HERE
Emil Herman, Lecturer From
Seattle, WASH, Appears in
AskOv; Seeks Support For His
Party in Coming Election.

Outlining the platform of the Soci-
of Seattle, Wash, appeared before an
Askov audience in the town hall last
Friday night
Mr.. Herman discussed the unem-
country, farm relief, child labor, in
ternational relations and civil liber-
ties.
He told what he thought is wrong
with represent system, and declared
that the "only cure for our economic
of running the government"
Many members of the audience had
opinions which differed materially
from Mr. Herman's, and so stated
them in an open forum which fol-
lowed his lecture. Considerable in
terest was aroused and during the
discussion, some sound arguments
were brought out.
Although all could not nor did not
agree with his doctrines, Mr.. Herman
proved himself to be capable lee
turer. ...
1t is the aim of the Socialist party
to secure signatures in sufficient num-
Der to allow the Socialists a place on
the ballot in the fall election.
Petitions asking place on the bal
lot are to be circulated throughout
Minnesota in the near future, Mr..
Herman said.
H. r. Buck was chairman of the
Askov meeting. sgl

Dairy Farm Outlook
Continues Favorable

The immediate prospects for the
dairy business are satisfactory, ac-
cording to statement by George A.
Sallee in Farm Management Serv-
ice Notes, issued by the farm man.
agement section of the Minnesota
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Mr.. Sallee says that such con-
clusion is warranted because the con-
sumption of dairy products has been
increasing slightly faster than pro-
duction, because the number of cows
and heifers being kept for milk
throughout the United States has in
creased only slightly, because the
production of butter for the months
from January to March inclusive has
apparently been only little greater
than that of the preceding period of
last year.
For these and other reasons, Mr..
Sallee says that the maintenance of
the present scale of dairy produc-
tion on Minnesota farms seems to be
justified. The possibility Of higher
feed prices and Of a slump in in
dustrial conditions, which would cut
down on the consumption of dairy
products, however, should be taken
into consideration by any who are
thinking of expanding their dairy en-
terprise. 1t is suggested that dairy
men should strive for high produc-
ton per COW and low cost per unit
of product. Such a combination tends
to secure the greatest advantages un-
der favorable circumstances and to
be least affected by unfavorable con-
ditions.

BUS REROUTING
MOVE OPPOSED
Protest Given Mayor by
Meridian Resident.

Protests against proposal Of the
Peoples Motor Coach Company to
operate a bus line on Meridian
street was lodged with Mayor L. Ert
Slack today by Mrs. st. Clair Parry,
1910 North Meridian street.
The park board took the petition
under advisement ten days ago, af-
ter hearing at which Mrs. Parry
and others voiced vigorous objec-
ton to the Meridian street bus line
In a letter to the Mayor, Mrs.
Parry cited as reasons for keeping
Meridian street free Of buses: in
creased danger to pupils of Tudor
hall, Catholic school, and Shortridge
high school; traffic congestion
would be made more severe, par
ticularly at rush hours; Meridian
street was "consecrated by the
parades Of soldiers from the Civil,
Spanish American and World wars;
owners of fine homes would desert
the street; deserted homes would
become unsightly business shops
and the beauty Of the street
destroyed.
Mrs. Parry suggested the erection
of an arch of triumph on the high
est point of North Meridian street
and uniform landscaping of the
street from the Circle monument to
the arch.

Devastation and floods ashore and
shipwrecks at sea took an enormous
toll Of life and property in Europe
during a weekend gale that exceed
ed in violence the unprecedented
storm Of week ago.
The previous storm took eighty
five lives and did many millions of
dollars damage. Latest returns
showed today that the death toll Of
the present storm already was prob
ably 100 and likely to mount. DAM
age could not be estimated.
The known death toll in Europe
was estimated late today at eighty
four, which included twenty-five in
Great Britain. In addition, fourteen
lives we're lost when the steamer
Cesaree foundered in the Mediter-
ranean off Alglers.
The toll at sea probably will be in-
creased when all reports are in. At
least thirty-eight men were missing,
including eighteen aboard the Nor
wegian steamer Hjiert, nine on the
British trawler Dean Swift, seven on
the British steamer Mia and four on
the British trawler Forget-Me-Not.
Floods threatened life and prop
erty in Scotland, Wales and along
the European coasts, especially in
the Netherlands and Denmark.
Channel and North Sea shipping
virtually was at a standstill, with
hundreds of vessels lying in pro-
tected ports and roadsteads-some
signaling that they were running
short of supplies.

Wrecks StreW Coast

BIZ United Press
PARIS, Nov. 26.-The French
coast along the channel, the At
lantic, and the Mediterranean was
dotted with ships in distress today,
after one of the most violent
storms in modern experience.
The Amiral Ponty, a large
French freighter, with crew of
fifty, was taken in tow after she
began to fill with water.
A tug hoped to get the Amiral
Ponty to Brest before she went
down, but the French freighter
MacoriS followed, ready to take off
the crew if necessary.
The Amiral Ponty had fifteen
feet of water in her forward hold.
The big Cunard liner Aquitania
turned back from her course twice
to answer the Amiral Ponty's SOS
off Ouessant, but finally resumed
her voyage when assured that the
Macoris was standing by. The
Aquitania will be six hours late into
New York.
Number Of ships wrecked or the
loss of life could not be estimated
definitely. Dozens of steamers were
making their way slowly to port
with water in their holds from torn
matches, sprung plates or damaged
received in collisions. Radio calls
for help were incessant.
Passengers aboard the Aquitania
were thrilled when the liner plunged
ahead at twenty-five knots through
the storm on Sunday morning to
the Amiral Ponty's first call for
help. The Aquitania was all pre-
pared for the rescue, with lifeboats
and rockets ready, and had covered
forty-five miles toward the freighter
when the Admiral Ponty sent a
message that help was not needed.
Later the Amiral Ponty renewed
her frantic falls for assistance and
the Aquitania turned again. She
fought with the storm until she was
within two miles Of the laboring
freighter, when the Macoris could
be seen standing by and the Aqui-
tania again went on her way.

AS a beginning, Louis brought
down his sample case, including an
assortment Of bombs and WITNESSES
in bullet-proof waistcoatS, to show
to Police Commissioner Warren. 1t
was Louis idea that if Commits
sioner Warren wore one Of the Wis
brod vests, it would set the style
and open up the whole eastern mar
ket. But the commissioner was
busy.
Gives Real Safety
One of the outstanding beauties
of the Wisbrod vest is that it will
protect the wearer from bullets fired
at an angle. Wisbrod explained that,
admitting bullets fired at an angle
had been a great drawback to the
old-fashioned type of vest. A
gangster caught on the bias might
just as we'll have 10 vest at all.
WiSbrod vests do not leak at the
seams.
In addition to his regular line,
which also includes gas billies and
gas cartridges and a sub-machine
gun that will fit quart pocket and is
"the fastest firing sub machine
gun in the world" Louis is intro
ducing a side line to the trade this
fall.
1t is a fountain pen pistol-one Of
the niftiest novelties since the in
vention Of the surprise bouquet,
which would squirt stream of wa
ter or perfume in the face of
whoever tried to smell it.
Looks Like Fountain Pen
The fountain pen pistol looks ex-
actly like an ordinary fountain pen
and is worn clipped in the vest
pocket. 1t shoots a .38-caliber bull
let, said to be effective at close range,
especially when coupled with an I'M
usual element of surprise.
"a man can hide it easily in his
palm as he extends his hand for
a shake" said Louis. 81 sell it
without the barrel rif1ed, but Of
course any one can easily get that
done"
Louis said he had been in the
business ten years, selling without
fear or favor to whoever wanted to
buy.

SUSPECT HELD

Will Beneficiary Caught in
RothStein Case.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK Nov. 26.-Sidney
Stalfjer, named as a beneficiary of
Arnold Rothstein's will, was arrested
today as police started all over
again to solve the Rothstein murder.
Stefjer was arrested near the
Park Central hotel. in which Roth
stein was shot fatally the night of
Nov. 4.
Just what connection Stefjer has
with the case remains as much a
mystery as the entire Rothstein
case. He was arrested several weeks
ago on narcotic charge and Roth
stein made bail for him.
1t was this act and likewise
the friendly gesture of naming
Stefjer as a beneficiary which made
the federal authorities believe Roth
stein was a member of an inter
national dope ring.
Meanwhile, between sixty and
seventy witnesses were prepared to
tell a grand jury all about Roth
STEMS life, and if possible anything
they might know of his death.
