heavy helmet slipped and shook
upon it.
There was an obvious fear that
the connections would not he
precise.
The electricians worked nerv-
ously.
Presently the muffled voice
came again:
"PuSha da button"
That may have been despera-
ton and suspense, born Of the
lingering black seconds.
There was no more.
The black mask had covered a
bitter, resolute smile, a grimace
that it seemed he had set upon
his face with deliberation. It had
twisted his wide mouth to sneer
as he entered the death chamber
at $40, a tiny figure dwsrfed by
the two robust guards who flanked
him.
IL witnesses Called
To the cluster of witnesses who
sat or stood about the narrow
chamber, zangara appeared so
suddenly that most were startled.
They had entered, dripping
with rain, and filed into the
seats. Those who could find no
places sidled against the walls.
and Prison superintendent Chap
man called a roll of IL legal wit
neSSes who had been specially
summoned.
They settled themselves nerv-
ouSly, but there was no time for
suspense. Zangara was there upon
them, silent like an apparition.
The chamber, about 80 feet
long and ten feet wide, was
gloomy, and the steel door in the
farther end was partly yelled by
a projection which enclosed the
mechanism of the electric chair.
Then He Appeared
Few saw Zangara enter, but
suddenly there he was, moving
swiftly, a little ahead Of the
guards, as he welcomed the re-
lease from the cage just beyond.
He was revealed for the first
time to most of them as abnor-
mally understood, strange,
gnome-like creature, whose mad
deeds seemed now incredible.
Actually, Zangara was under
five feet and weighed los pounds:
but now, with his head Shaven,
he seemed extraordinarily shrivl-
eled in clothing that was too big.
Zangara wore a tan shirt, faded
by many washings, open at the
throat, gray drill trousers, and
shabby tan shoes, the laces trail
ing. A normal boy Of 10 or IL
might have found difficulty in
squeezing into those garments.
Had FIapping Shoes
This was the assassin who had
conceived a crime so great and
executed it SO desperately that
he will live in the dark gallery
with Czolgosz, Guiteau and
Booth.
Zangara moved upon. his flap
ping tiny shoes across the little
space from the cell door to the
electric chair, which sits at the
end Of the chamber apart from
the place of the spectators.
He did not pause there, but

Of the room. The guards clutched

SOKOLS PROMISE
THRILLS AT PINE CITY

Announcement is made by Joseph
Petschel, president of the Pine County
Fair board that final arrangements
have been completed to hold the Min
nesota state championship motorcycle
races Sunday, August 6, at the Pine
county fair grounds at Pine City,
starting at 2 p. m. under the auspices
of the Minnesota Sokol Camp Associa-
ton.
The track was inspected by several
riders and found to be firm and fast.
Capt. Geo. ]. Kaisersatt, president OF
the Gopher State Motorcycle club
stated that he believes this track to
be the best and fastest in the state
and predicts record time.
The fans will witness the deciding
polo game for the Minnesota champ
ionship between St. Paul and Mime
apolis. Each team has so far won
two games.
Several thrilling events will be put
on between races as follows:
Motorcycle broad jump which re-
quires machines to go around the
track at breakneck speed, running up
an inclined plank and leaping into
the air; balloon breaking; potato race;
a novelty race in which riders dash
around the oval, stop at the judges
stand, eat crackers and whistle, then
another lap, stop and drink a bottle
Of pop, once more around and the
last stop where they finish up by eat
ing a BURBERRY pie without the use
of their hands.
A special feature will be Capt. Geo.
]. Kaisersatts death defying ride
through solid board wall. This act
recently attracted $1,000 spectators
to Holman Airport at st. Paul.
Kaisersatt is the first man to ever at
tempt this stunt in this part of the
country. Larry Rosenberg of Mime
apolis, was killed at the Chippewa
Falls homecoming celebration this
month trying this same stunt.
There will also be presented stunt
riding by Eddie Erler, dean of trick
riders; Roy ''Pinky" Egeberg will give
riding demonstrations; Eddie Chaput
will attempt to circle the track stand
ing upright on the saddle.
Altogether it is promised to be an
unforgetable program full of thrills
and spills, comedy and excitement.

Cooperation or Peasantry.
The work of Mr.. Brandt and other
cooperative leaders in drawing up a
code for the milk producers was dwelt
upon briefly. Without cooperation,
said the speaker, we will go back
to peasantry with wealth in the hands
of the few, and he put this question
to his audience: Are we going to
submit to the competitive system?
There will be either a cooperative
commonwealth or peasantry with final
total destruction.
Folks are puzzled about shorter
working hours and other new things
that are coming through the advent
OF modern labor saving machinery.
We should promote science and pro-
ductive machinery, continued the
speaker. Food and shelter are not

ROADS AWAIT
THE APPROVAL
State Highway Program Would I'm.
prove 1900 Miles With Federal
Money to be Allotted.

Minnesota will get improvement of
1900 miles of road, construction OF "a
bridges and separation of grades at
seven railroad crossings if the $1O.-
100000 federal aid highway program
submitted by the state highway de-
partment is approved by Washington
authorities.
In addition, according to an an
nouncement by N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner, there will be
a considerable amount of miscellan-
eous work, such as removal of center
piers where highways pass beneath
railroad tracks, landscaping and WORK
on trunk routes in Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Duluth. A certain amount
of landscaping is specified by the fed
eral government.
Owing to the fact that Federal reg
ulations require the highway funds
to be parcelled out through nearly
every county in the state, the projects
naturally must be spread thinly, Mr..
Elsberg explained. There will be only
about 35 miles of concrete paving,
cACluSlNc vi duy WHlCI ludy NC ldlu
in cities of the first class.
Analysis of the Highway Depart
ment's tentative program, not yet en-
tireiy complete. shows the following
approximate divisions of the funds;
900 miles of bituminous treatment,
s2,736,OOO; 35 miles of concrete paw
ing and incidental work, SLOTS. 900;
200 miles of grading. $2.470,000; "a
bridges, S1,154, 900; removal of center
piers from 13 underpasses, $148,000;
seven grade separations. $25S,O0O;
landscaping 100000; allowed for cit
les of first class, $1,5OO,OOO. This
leaves approximately $1,200,000 which
is in process of allotment to various
projects.
Nearly three weeks ago the high
way department began submitting it's
program to the federal authorities.
The preliminary ALLEGATION of funds
as between Federal aid roads, NUM-
cipalities and secondary roads was
approved, and approval of more de-
tailed programs is now awaited.
The department is ready to call for
bids on the first projects to be under
taken just as soon as Federal ap-
prevail comes through from Washing
ton. The government requires the fol-
lowing procedure in expenditure of
the funds: First, federal approval of
preliminary statement of ALLEGATION;
second, approval of general program
on the Federal Aid system, of pro-
gram in municipalities and of pro-
gram on secondary roads; third, ap-
prevail of each specific project.
ut should be remembered" said
Mr.. Elsberg. that $10,OOO,OOO is less
than half the states highway con-
struction program of either 1892 or
1881. 1t will pay for less than third
of the projects which we have been
urged to do with this Federal money.
The state should not expect an un-
usually large program of work, but
we will make the money go as far as
it can possibly be stretched in pro-
viding jobs and improvements"

STANDARD MINDS

The state proceeds in its educational policy on
the theory that "all men are created free and
equal and, therefore, have right to the same
standardized advantages which the commonwealth
has to hand out.
The same length of school term, the same per
capita cost for every child the same character Of
teacher in every school, the certfcated teach
err for every pupil, and the same kind of desks
and pencils and blackboards and every other IA
cility.
It's beautiful theory, but it's only theory.
And perhaps this is a point at which the educa-
tional breakdown has largely occurred-in assum-
ing that all minds are entitled to the same mas
saying that all ntelligences be pulled up with
proper lifts to the same high reaches
The mechanism of mans brains was not put to-
gether by machine that polished every one of them
off with precisely the same sort of scintiant rub.
Modern sociologists and educators would do well
to forget about ironing out the mental differences
and bend themselves to the task of giving equal
opportunity for all to make the most of whatever
differing abilities they do have instead of attempt
ing the impossible task of bringing them all up to
a standardized level.
If the Lord had meant for that to be done. He
would have done it in the first place.-Charlotte
Observer,
