Pistols and ShOtguns

Henry Lowe. 81 Dupont Ave.
No., Minneapolis, has a penchant
for pawning things. According to
his. story told the city attorneys
office, he told William Thweatt,
722 Bassett Place, of his habit
when the latter let him have his
pistol.
When Thweatt wanted his pistol,
Lowe didn't have it and the
trouble began.
Lowe had a warrant sworn out
for Thweatt because the latter
was looking for him with a shot
gun, seeking restitution for the
loss of his other firearm.
When Thweatt was arrested,
Lowe changed his mind. Tuesday,
Judge Fred B. Wright literally
chased both men out of municipal
court.

Sapsuckers Devour Ants,
Bark of Trees and San

Sapsuckers have short, brushy
tongues not adapted to the capture
OF insects, while the other wood
peckers have tongues with barbed
tips which can be extended to spear
luckless borers or other insects
whose burrows in the wood have
been reached by their powerful
beaks, according to an authority In
the Missouri Farmer. The sapsuck-
ers practically do not feed on wood
borers or other forest enemies.
Their chief food is ants. About 10
per cent Of their diet consists Of
cambium and the inner bark Of
trees, and they drink a great deal
Of sap. The parts Of the tree in
Jured by sapsuckers are those that
carry the rich sap which nourisheS
the growing wood and bark. When
a small proportion Of the bark and
cambium are removed, the vitality
Of the tree may only be lowered, or
branches here and there may be
killed. When the injury is more
extensive, as 1t often is, the tree
may be completely girdled, and of
course, dies. Holes made by sap
suckers go clear through the bark
and often into the wood. Generally
they are made in rings, or partial
rings, around the trunk or limbs,
but they often fall into vertical Sc
ries, and they may be either ver-
tically or horizontally connected.

FORUM REVIEW

John Thomas talk on Commu-
ism at the Minneapolis Forum last
Sunday was replete with interest
ing comment and carefully ana
lyzed information. The large num-
Der who listened were not always
in accord with the deductions as
drawn by the speaker; in conse-
quence of which the Forum became
a seething but not turbulent field
of discussion. Standing room was
at premium.

Harlenites Riot
When Ru1mOr OF
Brutality Spreads
HARLEM is SCENE OF BATTLE

New York, March 22-(Special)
One man is dead, two others are
reported dying and scores are suf-
fering from battered heads as Har-
lem's worst race riot in Is years
continues. Property damage, the
result of fires and the smashing of
shop windows, will mount way into
the thousands, it is said.
In an effort to halt further
bloodshed between members of
both races, Commissioner of Police
Valentine called out reserves to aid
the regular Harlem police. Through
out Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning, patrolmen roamed the
streets from 10th Street to 145th
Street, swinging their night sticks,
assauldng every member of the
Race that crossed their paths.
Harlem Tuesday night was bed
lam with shots, screening sirens
of police cars, changing fire appa-
ratus called out by numerous false
alarms and the clamor of rioters.
Situation Is Tense
The situation has become tense.
AT least a dozen policemen have
been hurt in the hand-to-hand
battle with Harlemites who resisted
their brutal tactics.
The first riot victim to die is Ly-
man Quarterman, "a years of age.
He died in Harlem hospital from
gunshot wounds in the abdomen
received in the rioting at 121st
Street and 7th Avenue.
The trouble was the outgrowth
of a false report said to have been
started by group of organized
radicals, that a fourteen-year-old
youth, Limo Rivera, had been killed
in the Kresge 5 and 10 cent store
on 125th Street and 7th Avenue.
The boy was not killed, but was
reprimanded for stealing a ten
cent knife. He was released after
he had bitten two store clerks.
When news spread of the chiId's
death several men and women
started a fight in the store and lat
er smashed the plate glass win
dows. Crowds coming from the
Harlem Opera house and the ApoI-
10 theatre joined in the fights and
200 shop windows from 125th
Street to 139th Street were
smashed.
Not until 2 a. m. Wednesday,
ten hours after the trouble began
could police find the boy to prove
ne was alive. Then he sat alone in
a police station, Indifferent to the
hysteria which ragged about him.
AT least dozen men and women
are under arrest; scores of suspects
were being questioned and a half
dozen whites, victims of rocks,
knives and revolvers were given
treatment by ambulance surgeons.

once benched a star named MaubetSch for eating
slab of pie without doctors prescription. He
and Alonzo A. Stage then of Chicago, were OF one
mind on the subject of abstinence except that each
was a little more than the other. Mr.. Stagg, on
his part not only suspended young and sensitive
athlete for eating piece Of pie, but denounced nm
as traitor to his school, his team, his coach and
himself and took away his football suit. AS the sea-
