Another lengthy hearing over charges of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor was staged today in police court with Sanford B. Elredge, 38, a stock broker of Rye, N. Y., winning the decision. He was arrested here on New Years eve following an auto mobile collision at the corner Of Grand and Canal streets. Patrol man John Johnson, who made the arrest claimed that the accused showed unmistakable signs of being under the influence of liquor. Lieu tenant Milton MacMullen corrobor- ated the patrolmans statement, but declined to qualify as an expert on how long it takes man to sleep off jag. Several persons. who wit messed the accident were questioned, but none would venture an opinion as to the sobriety of the defendant at the time of his arrest. ElredSe claimed that he was ill at the time, in fact had been nauseated a few minutes previous to the collision and on being taken to police headquart- CTS demanded that a doctor be sum- moned. Lieutenant MacMullen stated that Elredge did not stagger when he walked and he was unable to detect the odor of liquor on his breath.
 "He looked as if he had been sleeping and had q hang over' ventured the lieutenant.
 And how long would you say that 1t takes man to sleep off jag, if he were on one," promptly asked Prosecuting Attorney Emil Hummel.
 "I don't know. have never timed anyone that way" replied Lieutenant MacMullen.
 On New Years eve it was stated Grand street was e-coated, Elredge had spent the day with several bus mess associates here and had tele- phoned to New York several times. It being the last day of the old year few drinks were considered appro- priate. So the "boys" bought some rye and ginger ale and neighbor- ing drug store provided lilly drink ing cups" for what Attorney Hum- mel described as an "emergency party. II had two drinks and started for home, Rye, N. Y., short ly after o'clock. At the corner of Grand and Canal streets he stopped

As he went into reverse the rear wheels spun around and then suddenly took hold with the result that his machine backed up so quickly that it collid- ed with q parked car, but did not damage 1t. The owner became so excited that Officer Johnson was called and Elredge was placed un- der arrest.
 The state probed into the effect of what two drinks would have on a person, size and quality of the brac- CTS, etc. MT Elredge insisted that he was not under the influence of liquor, did not stagger, for there was no reason for him to do so and re- membered everything that was said and done. He blamed the condi- tion of the street for the accident. Two business associates appeared and testified that he was not under the influence of liquor.

In the Morning.!

Just Jake a pleasant-tasting candy Cascaret tonight and see how fine you feel next morning. You wake with coating gone from your tongue. Breath is sweet; eyes brighter; you feel like different person. The most pleasant way to be rid of constipation ills is with candy Cascarets. They are made from cascara-a never-failing laxative-as any doctor will tell you --and a laxative that actually helps strengthen the bo1UeL muscles. So the prompt, harmless relief Cascarets always bring is lasting! Their gentle, thorough action makes them ideal for elderly people. Children love their delicious candy flavor.

Ancient English Castle
of Historic Interest

Excavations at the ancient royal
castle at Berkhamsted have revealed
many interesting details of its early
construction. For many years thick
underground and forest of trees have
smothered the crumbling walls and
crowned the foundations of the keep.
From the embankment of the rail-
way station, which Overlooks the ruins,
writes J. DiXon-Scott in the London
Daily Telegraph, you can now recon-
| Struct the character of the old fortifi-
cation. with its unusual double moat
and large shell keep, which stands
against a background of barred trees.
You also may regard with some doubt
the defensive value of site over

lions. With the introduction of can
non in the Middle ages its position as
fortress must have become unten-
able.
Before that time the castle had been
the scene of events of historical i'm
portance. 1t was here that London

Norman. The conQueror's half broth-
er, the earl Of Mortafgne, to whom
the castle and manor were presented,
greatly enlarged the old Saxon strong
hold. In the Domesday book the cas-
tie was valued at f16. The inventory
included two arpends of vineyards, an
unusual feature, all trace Of which has
long since disappeared.
In the reign of Henry II the castle
and manor reverted to the crown, be-
coming an occasional royal residence.
Edward III and the Black Prince held
their courts within it's walls. Here,
too, King John of France, the illustri-
GUS captive of the Black Prince, spent
some time Of enforced leisure. Rich
ard Ill died at Berkhamsted, as did
his mother, the duchess of York, in
1896.
A variety of military accouterments,
coins, broken pottery and glazed tiles
have been dug up. OF these tiles.
which are reminiscent of Fourteenth
century workmanship, the most inter-
esting are those depicting designs OF
the fleur-de-lys and one showing the
Lion of England.

Someone in the Office yesterday said
they had a note due at the bank and
nothing to do it with. Most business
places, banks, ETC., closed at noon
yesterday in celebration of the Armis-
tice. The Postoffice was open all day.
It's only two weeks until Thanks
giving. I'm going to give my thanks
in Chicago.
A member of the Ananias club of
the Park turned in the following about
their fishermen:
He riseth up early in the morning
and disturbeth the whole household.
Mighty are his preparations.
He goeth forth full of hope.
When the day is far spent, he re-
turneth, smelling of strong drink
And the truth is not in him.

keeping to its lowest terms. Woman
said prayerful things Of her; the real
estate industry bowed to her undoubt-
ed financial genius and did honor to
the service she had done to humanity.
When Luella was slightly past thir-
ty situation, which had chiefly been
deferred by the unusual trend of her
life, arose. For the first time she
might be said to have found time to
let the business of living wedge its
way into her manifold activities.
Through her work she met a sociO-
logist in local university named FL
mer Brown and fell In love with him.
He was a man about thirty-eight, a
dreamer, an idealist and imbued with
much enthusiasm for the achievements
Of Luella Morse. An enthusiasm
which had not to do with her financial
success. He frankly regarded her as
sort Of Messiah to women. His re-
spect for what she had done was with
out limit; and he loved Luella.
They were married.
The Morse home BY now has become
a national institution. Indeed. it is
spreading to all parts of the world.
The work of Elmer Brown has long
since transcribed the confines of his
university and he now joins his wife
in propounding their fine and human
izing schemes.
Meanwhile, the Elmer Browns have
time to give thought and consideration
to their own lives.
They live in a beautiful old farm
house which they have bought on the
outskirts Of the middle western city.
It has fourteen rooms and its upkeep
is intricate and exacting.
Luella runs the elaborate household
herself. Its cares press upon her. Its
complexities disturb her. Its servant
problems are endless.
Privately, between Elmer and her
self, they have decided It is worth It.

nowadays look like Noah's ark, for
many mind readers are trying to dis
cover whether, or how well, different

Vast Wealth of Tibet

"The Tibetans have so much wealth
in their country that If they choose
they could wipe off an empires ma
tional debt, by handling them the
lump sum in gold" said a traveller,
recently returned from Tibet. His
opinion is that there are vast aluvial
deposits of gold in "the land Of the
LIamas," and that they represent I'M
fold wealth. The Tibetans did not do
any mining, but just picked the gold
I'D from the soil. There were also
large deposits Of silver and copper In
Tibet, all awaiting exploitation.
