TAKING THE STING
OUT OF WINTER

1t is generally conceded that the
winter of 1927-192S has been more
disagreeable in some respects than
any other winter for many years.
SubZero temperatures have been more
numerous than usual. Hindering
snow has fingered long and has caus-
ed great inconvenience. A low-slung
mercury has been accompanied with
high winds which, to say the least,
were quite uncomfortable. Streets
and highways have been singularly
slippery on occasions.
in spite of the unusual conditions
prevailing in the northwest and to
the southwark, winter travel by
automobile has been unprecedented,
if registrations at the tourist bureau
of the Minneapolis Civic & Commerce
association are a dependable guage.
For illustration, the first half of the
current month registrations at the
Gateway building reached 1855 from
the United States, as compared with
1,472 for the month of February a
year ago, and "A from Canada, as
compared with 10.
1t is getting to be that there need
scarcely be any more uncomfortable
travel in state like Minnesota in
winter time, so far as temperatures
enter into the equation. Cars on the
steam railways rarely are uncom-
fortably cold. Buses that run with
in cities and between cities usually
are warm, no matter what the wealth
er outside. Closed automobiles-and
particularly when equipped with heat
ers-make it possible for travellers
to go far without the slightest ply
steal distress. Even when the oppos-
ing odds are heavy, streets and rur-
al highways are kept clear for easy

FIRST ENTRIES IN FOR
1928 TON LITTER RACE

Not to increase the production Of
pork, but to cut costs Of production
and make that which is produced
more profitable for the producer is
the object of the Minnesota ton litter

are in charge of H. G. Zavoral, live
stock specialist of the agricultural ex-
tension service of the university.
The 1928 ton litter contest, the
sixth in the series, is now open for
entries, several of which have al
ready been received, says Mr.. Zavo-
raj. The rules and regulations of
1927 will govern this year. Any far
mer, boy or girl in Minnesota can
enroll. Prize money, medals, watch
es, trophies, and free trips will be
divided among the winners-those
who produce the heaviest filters. The

Definitely Favorable Turn
Reached If King Holds
Own Today.
BY KEITH JONES
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Dec. 14.-DoctorS pre-
pared for a long and difficult strug-
gle to save the life of King George
today, but there was high hope in
London that if he maintained his
strength until Saturday he had an
excellent chance to recover.
This mornings bulletin by the
doctors and the queens message
to President Coolidge, thanking him
for his expression of sympathy, both
indicated clearly that Buckingham
Palace did not expect the king to
pull through without strenuous ef-
fort by his physicians.
The bulletin said: "The slight
improvement in the kings condi-
ton noted last evening is main
tanned. Any progress must be slow
and difficult"
The queens message to President
Coolidge, signed by Lord Stamford
ham, secretary to the king, noted
that the recent operation treated
only "one phase" of the kings ILL
ness. It added that the general
poisoning of the kings system
would entail many weeks of slow.
anxious progress"
The forty-eight hours after
Wednesday nights operation, which
expire tonight, were admitted TO
constitute a critical period, during
which any fatal collapse would be
most likely to manifest itself. AS
the hours passed and the kings
condition grew no worse, the palace
was overjoyed.
Drainage of the infected area
around the right lung apparently
continued satisfactorily through the
tube inserted during the operation
1t was generally understood that
the operation was essential to save
the kings life.

At the same time the University

ties are agreed.

A world peace message will come

Times campaign to push the Kellogg
anti-war treaty through the senate
by Christmas.
Promises of cooperation came to-

port; G. H. jose of the Capitol air

join.
Among those present at the Real
Estate Board, Advertising Club, and

Thursday, the vote was practically
unanimous for the Kellogg pact.
Many Send Letters
Many persons found they could
not express completely their en-
thUsiasm for the peace movement
by mere marking of the ballot and
sent letters with their votes to The
Times. Among such letters we're:
"I am so glad to add my per-

DISCUSS CRIME
LAW REVISIONS
Action Postponed Due to
Illness of Members.

Special legislation directed toward
the problem of the youth in crime"
and legislation to make penalties
more nearly fit various degrees of
thievery was discussed today by the
committee on criminal jurispru-
dence of the Indiana State Bar AS
sociation at the Claypool.
The committee was directed by
the last convention to study the
crime problem and make concfete
recommendations to the 1929 state
legislature.
Three committeeman were i'll and
the remaining four postponed defin-
ite action until full session can be
held.
Discussion, however, indicated
that the committee believes the
youths in crime must be more Sc
verely and at the same time equi-
tably dealt with. They believe that
there must be greater distinction in
the punishment of the criminal who
uses a gun and the criminal un-
armed.
1t was pointed out that under the
present law an unarmed man steal
ing 500 gets as heavy punishment
as the man who steals $25 abetted
by a gun or another weapon. The
armed man should be given far
heavier punishment, the committee
men indicated.
