was coming. He hoped over to that
particular place. Sure enough, the wind
blew in his face and the odor OF Skunk
was stronger than ever. Peter hoped
forward just little way and found the
smell as strong as ever and perhaps a
little bit stronger. He did the same
thing again with the same result. A
third time the result was the same. But
the fourth time, although the wind was
still blowing in his face, he got only a
faint scent.

Everyday Law Cases
Is One Guilty OF Contempt OF
Court in Abusing Juror
After Trial?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

Robert Shivers was on the jury that
brought in verdict in favor of johnson
IN the case of johnson VS.. Miller.
While on his way home, from court,
Shivers was suddenly accosted by Miller,
the defeated party, and questioned
threateningly about the jury's verdict.
Shivers tried to appease the angered
htigant, but his efforts were in vain,
for Miller proceeded to avenge his loss
by pummeling the bewildered Juror.
Shivers, on the following day, IN
formed the court about the affair, and
warrant was issued for Miller charg-
ing him with contempt of court.
Miller contended that he had not
been in contempt and that Shivers
only remedy was to prosecute him for
assault.
The court, however, found him guilty
Of contempt and fined him 500, stat
ing:
abusing a juror for the verdict he
has rendered tends to impede the pro-
ceedings of the court and to impair its
respect and authority. 1t Is a most
essential power that those administers
ing Justice shall not be intimidated for
the discharge of their duties. There
would be small assurance Of impartial
Justice If the jurors should be left to
defend themselves by physical strength.

Used, to 1t.

We soon get used to wondrous things;
high overhead an airship swings, a
miracle, indeed; far, far above the
human crowd it scoots along from
cloud to cloud at most astounding
speed. I've seen flock Of airships
soar, some Is, and doubtless more--I
couldn't count them all; and people
gave a careless look, an, upward glance
and said, "Gadzook, they're getting
thick this Fall" The rise until they're
merely specks, and there's no crowd OF
rubbernecks to mark their eagle nlgnt:
the people have their chores to do; the
fact that 40 airships few concerns no

Punktown's fair, there came q wizard
of the air to fly around for hire; 1t
was the first time we beheld an a1rsh1p
and we whooped and yelled much Ike
a house afire. To every roof, up every.
tree, the people climbed that they
might see the show at every stage; on
all the hills were mighty mobs who
watched with gaspS and thrills and
tIuoOs that wonder Of the age. And
when the airman fluttered down he was
the hero in our town, his deeds were
truly grand; 1t was an honor to be seen
with him upon the village green, boon
to clasp his hand. We followed him
wher'er he went, we wouldn't let him
spend cent, he was our cherished
guest; and lovely damsels tried to win
the guerdon Of his cheerful grin, and.
getting 1t, we're blest. But airshtps
now are common things, and airmen
are no longer kings when they blow
into town, unless they've crossed some
seven seas, or split the bitter polar

AUTUMN
By D. C. PEATTIE.

It takes, as people SO tritely remark,
all kinds of people to make a world.
It takes, also, all kinds of plants and
animals to hold the balance of nature
together. We are especially prone to
wonder why mosquitoes were made, and
other such pests, and the answer to
this 7 cannot give, except to say just
possibly It would be as clear-headed
thinking biologically to ask If human
beings were not made in order to give
the female mosquito the drop Of blood
she needs to nouriSh her OffSprings in
their first stages When people won-
der why bacteria and fungi Of the lesser
and unhealthful sort were made, there
is more ready answer.
II you 60 into the woods in Autumn
and examine the wild flowers and the
fallen tree leaves closely, you are likely
to find. that the stems OF herbaceouS
plants and the leaves of trees and
shrugS are covered with little black
Specks and clots and moldy-lo oking
patches Or forest floor may well re-
veal half an inch Of partially decayed
leaves, with peculiar odor and moist
and mushy texture. And you will know
that these appearances are the result Of
the action of bacteria and fungi, and a
very scavenging and ghoulish and un-
lovely role they may seem to you to
play.
Yet Autumn would not be Autumn
without them; it would be merely a
pest Suppose all the leaves that fell
from trees simply lay there, intact for
ever, instead of decaying The world
would long since have been showed un-
der with natural refuse that could not
be removed. Furthermore, the fertility
would never be returned to the soil, nor
the nitrogen returned to the air., Life,
indeed, would presently come to an end,
for the vegetation, and for mankind, If
it were not for the very seeds of decay
that we so despise. 1t is not to- be sup
posed that ALL or even most of, those
plants can rightly be called disease;
they are, rather, the inroads of matter

1t was the most lonesome part Of the
Green Forest. Peter Rabbit seldom went
there. He was there now simply be-
cause he had been trying to take q
short cut to another part of the Green
Forest. There was a strong odor In
the air. Peter didn't have to be told
what that odor was. 1t was the odor
that only Jimmy Skunk can produce
from that little scent-gun Of his. And
because Peter could smell that odor so
strong he suspected that Jimmy or one
Of his family had been attacked some
where around there.
Now, Peter felt nervous all the time.
Any one who would attack a member Of
Jimmy Skunk's family would not hest
tate to attack a plump rabbit. So
Peter remembered what his eyes were
for and what his ears we're for and what
his nose was for, and he used all three
to the best of his ability. But his eyes
saw no one and his ears heard no one
and his nose-welT, his nose was just
filled with the odor of Skunk. Peter
hoped about cautiously, always ready
to run at the slightest hint of danger
But all his hopping about discovered
nothing. Peter sat down under hem
lock tree to study and think.
Presently it came to him that that
odor was the strongest when he was in
a certain place where the wind blew in
his face. Therefore. 1t must be coming

october rs, 1S61.-Hospitals in Wash
ington and Georgetown are being made
ready today to receive large numbers
eff Union soldiers wounded in the Bat
tie of Balls Bluff, near Leesburg. Va,
four DAYS ago. Word was received TO-
day that the first Of the. WOUNDED
would arrive at any moment.
A list of the Union killed and wound
ed in all the fighting this week on the
VIRGINIA side of the Potomac River
above washington is being prepared at
the headquarters of the Union forces
located at Poolesville, Md. The names
will be telegraphed to this city In
few hours.
A few of the wounded will be taken
TO the Union Hospital In Georgetown
and the remainder will be taken 10 the
Government Hospital for Insane, where
thev can have very comfortable quar-
ters and at the same time be entirely
separated from the usual inmates OF
that institution.
Some convalescentS from these two
local hospitals are being removed 70
the infirmaries at Annapolis, where at
present there are 200 vacant beds.
During the Winter, as the convaleScent
soldiers improve, they will be moved
northward to Philadelphia and other
cities.
The Pussy of the Potomac flotilla

and today is anchored at the navy
ward. She reports that the Confed-
crate steamer George Page harbors in

keeping always under cover of the Con-
federate shore batteries. The Confed.

shells yesterday at the Union men or
the Maryland side of the Potomac.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, October 26, 1928.

Astrologers read this as rather lucky
day. Uranus is in sinister mood, how
ever. Under this sway music should
benefit greatly and the stars are read
as presaging a rarely successful opera
season.
1t is an suspicious sway for women
and their artistic ambitions. Actresses
should benefit and new stars are FORE
told. Love affairs again come under
sway. making for serious wooings in
contrast to the Summers flirtations.
This is favorable rule under which to
enter into engagements to marry
Under this rule entertainments of
every sort are likely to be successful,
for the vibrations are supposed to i'm
part gayety and high spirits. There is
sinister sign supposed to indicate much
muddled thinking and distorted logic
regarding many things, including edu-
cation and public affairs There is a
good sign for the young in which are
forecast many Fairgrounds and other
sources Of right training for boys and
girls.
AS the younger generation natures
it will be apparent that super men and
super women have been preparing for
the work of the world, the seers
propheSy.
This is not an especially favorable
day for aviation and 1t may be wise to
defer hazardous starts. Once more food
is to be much discussed, for the stars
presage decided rise in prices.
The women who use their varied
knowledge in managing home affairs
will benefit greatly at this time, when
great events are near.
Astrologers foretell a new world spasm
that will be of moment to dwellers
everywhere on the globe, but they are
vague in outlining it.
4 Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of happy year that brings
many pleasant surprises. They should
be aware of intrigues and flirtations.
Children born on this day are likely
to be successful all through life. The
subjects of this sign often have Won
derful persuasive powers and are able
to become leaders in big enterprises.
These subjects of Scorpio often are ex-
ceedingly tickle.

It used to be considered smart, ia

escorted to o table adjacent to the
dance floor where hundreds of other
boobs were trying to two-step on a
postage stamp. 1t was clear case of
trying to show Off. Men are willing
to pay an absurd price for the privi-
lege of being flattered. One night I
saw an industrial giant beam like a
kid with a circus ticket merely be-
cause club hostess singled him out
and asked the guests to give him q

her spouse rose and acknowledged the

the conclusion of which they executed

in marching order and, headed by a
ravly caparisoned drum major, swung
down the field to the strains Of lively

college men. The student body rose
as one man. In the upper and lower

with hats in hand. Old men and
youngsters alike barred their heads. 1t

CHAINS May MAKE
OR BREAK TIRES
Hints for Motorists to Bear
in Mind Include Advice
to Avoid High Speed.

Y .-. y
Chains take a great deal of punish
ment. during q winters usage, but
they return proportionate amount
to the car.
On 80 by 4.40 tire, it has been
pointed out, a cross link hits the
pavement ego times in mile. When
the car has gone 100 miles, each cross
link has come into contact with hard
pavement or ice $4,000 times, writes
Israel Klein in the Rocky Mountain
News.
Add to this the strains of braking.
starting and pulling, and little more
may be expected of them.
In return for this hard usage, the
chains take their revenge out of the
tires. force the engine to work harder
and can rip holes in the tenders.
That is, of course, If the driver Is
careless about them.
Put Chains on Right.
Proper attachment of chains and
careful driving will afford the most
possible benefit out of the chains and
the least possible harm to tires, en-
CINE or other parts of the car.
In the first place, the chains should
be put on right. They must be loose
enough to allow them to work their
way around the tires. If they are
tight they will stay In one position.
cutting into the castings and causing
tire trouble.
A little play will cause even wear
on the tires all around.
The chains, however, must not be
too loose, or they'll rattle against the
tenders when the car goes at any con-
siderable speed and break easily.
Furthermore, constant tapping Of a
chain on the same spotssof' the fender
will eventually wear neat hole there.
Proper Air in Tires.
In the case Of the new type of rub
Der links, on the contrary, the chains
must be applied as tight as possible
The tires should be blown to their req
uisite pressures and then the chains
may be applied tightly.
The reason for this is that rubber
chains are fiat and smooth. and there
fore do not need to have free play
around the tires. In fact, If applied
loosely, they are liable to break easily.
Applied tightly. rubber chains will
help Iengthen the life of the tires.
These may be kept on at all times, no
matter what the weather. for they are
no bother either In driving or in the
way of comfort.
