Defective Auto Lights
Cause Many Deaths
Traffic Accidents Take Heavy Toll
of Lives in Past Few Weeks
Bulletin Reports

Dim, glazing or missing lights on
motor vehicles have caused the
death of an unusually large num-
Der of people on the highways of
this and neighboring states during
the past few weeks, a state high
way bulletin reports.
Failure to keep motor vehicles in
general repair is believed to largely
account for this situation, accord
ing to Captain Geo. Kuch, of the
state highway patrol. The highway
patrol, in cooperation with local
authorities, has been making spec
ial efforts to correct motor vehicle
equipment defects, and lights in
particular, but many verhicles are
being operated with unsafe lights.
Where accidents have occurred,
the statement has frequently been
made by the owner of a vehicle in
volved that he had not expected 10
be on any road where there was
much traffic or, that he had not ex-
pected to drive after dark. Owners
are urged to keep in mind the fact
IuaI Oi4 q IIip VI puI q IC" u1AlCS
many things can occur which nee
essitate a change in plans and a
drive after dark, or over a differ
ent route is unavoidable. The cost
o ia new light bulb, or for inspec-
ton of the lighting equipment is
so small, Captain Kuch points out,
compared to the damage that neg
lect of the lights can cause that no
owner should hesitate about incur
ring the expense needed to keep the
lights in proper condition.
Garages or light testing stations
would be rendering a distinct SER
vice, not only to the owners of the
vehicles, but to the entire motoring
public by calling attention to lights
that are dim, glazing, improperly
adjusted, or not working, the high
way bulletin states.

Canary Birds Suscep-
tible to Psittacosis
Physicians Advise All Bird Owners
to Protect Themselves Against
Disease

st. Paul, Oct. 3-Danger from
! psittacosis or parrot fever is not
confined solely to contact with par
rots and their relatives, the love
birds and parrakeets, according to
studies of the disease made recent
ly in California.
Physicians of the Minnesota
State Medical Association call at
Etention to that fact lest bird own
ers, aroused by the recent serious
illness of the wife of Senator w. E.
Borah, jump to the conclusion that
only parrots and their relatives, the
parrakeets or love birds which in
fected Mrs. Borah are guilty.
"Canaries are also subject to the
disease" the physicians warn"
"They are exposed to the infection
in aviaries, especially and they, as
well as love birds or parrots,
may become carriers of the disease
even when they are not themselves
! sick.
"Psittacosis is serious disease
with a high death rate" the doc
tors say. "Originally it was
thought to be limited to parrots i'm
ported from the Orient. The cpl
demic of 1929-30 was undoubtedly
started by imported birds. But
large numbers of cases have since
been traced to birds bred in the
United States. The series of eases
studied in California and reported
upon in the American Journal of
Public Health were traced to love
birds, some of them sold by travel
ing vendors. These peddled birds
were 'crawlers' weak birds of which
a few were appearing in every
Matching from the aviaries. They
were bought cheap by the peddlers.
Some of them gained in strength
and learned to fly. The rest died
and a great deal of human illness
and death from psittacosis follow
ed the route of the peddlers."
Following are precautions adj
vised for all bird owners no mat
ter what variety of bird: "
do not kiss your bird nor feed
him with your mouth. II -
Keep the cage clean, cleaning it
preferably in the sunshine after it
has been moistened to prevent
dust,
Remember that recently acquir-
ed birds or young birds are most
dangerous although old family pets
may become infected If they are
left in shops or bird homes.
Regard any sickness among
birds as suspicious"

Gibbs McAdoo and other supporters
of John N. Garner caused the col
lapse of Smiths own efforts to
stop Roosevelt"
with some of the elements and
forces in the party, I am complete
ly out of sympathy. not for per-
sonal reasons, but because I believe
that they are inimical to the best
interests of the country" Smith
wrote in asking: What will the
Democratic party do with it's vic
tory?
I'm my opinion the Democratic
party must purge itself of these
influences if it is to serve the ma
tion in this crisis.
IF the party does so purge, it.
self, there is every reason to be-
lieves that it will provide the ma
terial and personnel for the lib
eral reforms and the initiative,
which the country now requires.
It can begin with a new slate.
II believe the present admins
tration in Washington, if continued
cannot begin to solve our present
problems, it has had a chance to
do it and has failed utterly. The
one great chance that the Demo-
cratic party has had during my
lifetime is presented to it now. I
believe it is able to meet it. I be-
lieve it can go as far as govern
ment can go to solve the prob
lens. I believe the success of the
Democratic party in the coming
election is essential to the upbuild-
ing of our national prosperity and
our nation well-being.
1.-THE Republican party must
take the responsibility for it's own
palpable and inexcusable mistakes,
delays and general inepitude."
Smith struck in his usual direct
manner at what he described as
administration delay and quibbling
in unemployment relief and prog
ress toward economic reconstruc-
ton. He charged President Hoover
"muffed" the opportunity to make
the most of the Reconstruction
Finance corporation.
He criticized the presidents
stand on prohibition and said Mr..
Hoover still insists on kicking
away the hundreds of millions CT
dollars which could easily be raised
by tax on beer and wine"
Smith argued that the Democra-
tic party, with liberal background,
could take the leadership in up
building national prosperity.
What is needed in the crisis of
today is the united, cooperative eff
fort of all good citizens of what
ever class or creed to fight our way
out of the bog of depression to the
solid ground of good American en-
terprise and prosperity.
1.-THE forgotten man is myth
and the sooner he disappears from
the campaign the better it will be
for the country"

Wilhelm johnson. H. P. Nelso
and John J. Hanson.
Preceding Mr.. Olson in deaf
were his wife and a son. Carl. wit
whom he lived for a time and VIII
passed away in the summer {
1880.
The following story concernin
Mr.. Olsen. published in the Osaki
Review on March IS. 1929. follow
ing the Tooth birthday of the Ger
is republished now, i
view of the interesting facts COZ
tanned therein:
Dr.. Mr.. Olson was born in Hol-
wick. Denmark, March II, 1929.
He and his wife came to Amer
lea in 1868 settling on a farm
in Freeborn county where
they lived for IS years. In 1904
Mr.. and Mrs. Olsen came to
Douglas county to make their
home with their son, Carl, on
the farm near Osakis. Another
son, Claus, resides in Canada.
Mrs. Olson passed away in
: 1912 and is buried here. e--,,.,
Mr.. Olsen is in excellent
health and spirits and gets
about the farm to do light
chores and cuts the wood for
the kitchen range. His mind is
as clear as most men of fifty
and he boasts that he has
never required the services of
a doctor. He has never used
liquor or tobacco and attri-
butes his great age and good
health to regular habits and
hard work. When asked if he
had ever been sick the old
gentleman replied that one
time when he was 20 years old
he had the toothache.
Sitting in his big arm chair
at the farm home, the old man
greeted the old neighbors as
they filed in, with a hearty
hand shake. His voice is
strong and while he converses
altogether in the Danish lang
age, one who does not under
stand what he is saying can
not question his cordial greet
ing.
Mr.. Olsen was presented
with a large leather rocking
chair and numerous other re-
membranes by the friends.
H. P. Hanson gave him a uni
que present in the shape of
wooden design inside of pint
bottle on which was engraved
his name, age and greeting.
The gift was one that Mr.. Han
sen made and is a novelty be
cause of the fact that every
part of the design had to be
placed through the neck of the
bottle and assembled and glu-s
ed in place from the inside. The
bottle is closed by a wooden
cork, with a wooden pin that
reaches clear across the bottle,
holding the cork in place.
The presentation of the
chair was made by H. P. An
derson, pastor of the English
Lutheran church of Osakis, of
which Mr.. Olsen has long been
a member. Cake and coffee
were served to the visitors. A
huge cake bearing 100 lighted
candles adorned the DINING
room table.
The only fact that Mr.. Carl
Olsen was unable to take part
in the festivities owing to ill
ness that confined him to his
room on the second floor of
the farm home,

Both will recover. The bandits are
still at large.
The following excerpt from a let
ter from Mrs. Bader to her mother
in this city will be of interest:
Albert was not in the bank
at the time of the hold-up. He
had gone to the Ford garage
with some papers. I am glad
he wasn't there, He is very
nervous since the robbery as he
was held up two years ago.
Friday and yesterday were
terrible days at the bank; they
couldn't get anything done.
Everybody came in to look
around and talk. Both of the
girls will be laid up for some
time. It was a terrible ex
perience for them. The sher-
iff has the bandit car, but no
bandits.

FRANCE BOYCOTT|NC FRUIT GROWERS 0F
 THE UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 19.- The United States government is preparing to defend itself and her fruit producers against the dis elimination of the French in buy ing fruit produce from American growers. The United States re- gently protested the French tactics through Ambassador Walter E.. Edge and the situation for a time was thought alleviated.
 Now, the government is prepar- ing another more stringent move and will invoke a law which is al- ready on the statute books. This law provides that a 50 per cent tariff be placed on goods being ex- ported by a discriminating nation.
 Unless, through diplomatic chan nels, the question is settled, the law will go into effect within 30 days from the date it is pro- claimed.

L|NDBERCH DES|ROUs OF
 MAKING SECOND CONTACT

HOPEWEIL, N. J., April 19.- Colonel Chas. A. Lindbergh made another stirring appeal to the press and the public Monday wherein he asked further freedom in his move ments so that contact with the kidnappers could again be estab- lished. The Colonel also stated that no further ransom demands had been made by the kidnappers since the payment of the $50,0O0 and he also said that no further contacts had been made by him self.
 Lindbergh, in making his appeal, thanked the many press associa- tions for their cooperation but said that his attempts to make contact again with the kidnappers was still hampered by the activities of the press, who continue to ferret out even the most secret of meetings.

MASS|E FIRM IN HIS TESTIMONY DESPITE
 ADR0|T TRAPS SET

HONOLULU, April 19-Monday's proceedings in the "honor staying" trial here consisted mostly of an attempt on the part of Prosecutor John c. Kelley to shake Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie's testimony that his was the hand that held the gun with which Joseph KahahaWal was slain.
 Kelley also tried to trap Massie into testifying that he knew what happened after they had succeed ed in getting verbal confession from Kahahawai that he had at tackled Mrs. MaSsie.
 Lieutenant Massie stood firm in his testimony despite the adrolt traps set for him during the entire two hours of questioning and when he stepped down from the witness stand he stepped down glorified in the eyes of his fellow officers and their wives who were in attendance at the trial.
 Massie insisted that murder had not been premeditated but said they wanted a confession to quiet ugly rumors which began making the rounds. He had sought the ad- vice of a lawyer and he had advised Massie that he secure a written confession without duress. It was for this purpose that the Hawaiian was kidnapped and brought to the Fortescue home. When the Ha- waiian admitted the attack, Mas sic testified, his mind went blank and remained so until he was con- fronted by policemen at Koko Head.
 After a savage mock examination Massie was dismissed Monday sub ject to recall.
 The remainder of the trial con- sisted of Defense Attorney Darrow examining a number of minor wit nesses who corroborated Lieuten- ant Massie's story and who iden- tified certain articles connected with the murder case. Temporary insanity appears tC be the plea which Darrow will make for his client.

GLACIER PRIEST ESCAPES SERIES
 OF NEW PER|LS
PRESENT EXPEDITION NEARLY ENDED DISASTROUSLY
 IN RIVER

CHIGNIK, April 19. Especial to The Gateway)-Father Bernard R. Hubbard, University of Santa Clara geologist who is seeking scientific data from Alaskan vol canoes, spent the most. rigorous time in Alaska this winter when he successfully climbed Katmai VOL cano, the only time the dread mountain has been attempted in winter. With him were two stud ent companions, Kenneth Chisholm and Jack Morton, and a team of 12 dogs.
 The trip almost ended fatally owing to lateness of start because Father Hubbard was held up three weeks waiting for his dog team to arrive from Interior Alaska. While negotiating the Katmai River, the ice broke up suddenly and the party had to pull the sled and supplies over moving ice blocks flowing in chilling ice water, strug- gling waist deep for hours back to Shelikof Straits. They saved all photographic and scientific data but lost most of their food.
 The boat which was supposed to call for them did not come and two weeks later Captains P. Wold and c. E. Anderson, of the MS Polar Bear, saw smoke signals of the ma rooned party on Katmai Beach and rescued the men and surviving dogs. The party was weak and emaciated as they had lived for days on dog meat and shell fish.
 Katmai is the most inhospitable and dangerous part of Alaska, with no game in the region and over 1,COO miles of mountainous shore line without a single human being. In spite of their severe hardships, the party is recuperating rapidly on the motorship Polar Bear, bound for Unimak Island.
 The indefatigable Glacier Priest" is now on his way to his second ob- jective, the mighty Shishaldin vol cano, which has been violently erupting for several weeks and sending flames 2,OOO feet above it's summit.
 Remarkable new scientific data has been confirmed by 5000 feet of film which were taken of the ascent of Katmai crater, and Father Hub bard is elated over the trip in spite of the terrible hardships.
 Just a year ago today, Father Hubbard landed in Holy Cross, AL aska, after making 1,500-mile trip by dog team.
