1876 Drivers Lose Cards
for July Drunk Driving.

July saw 1856 persons losing their
drivers licenses-and without exception
each loss was made for driving while
drunk, it was revealed by report for
July handed N. w. Elsberg, state high
way commissioner, by Gil Carmichael,
director of the drivers license section.
In his report, the drivers license head
particularly called the commissioners
attention to the fact that up to August
/, this year, Is licenses have been
taken away from youths between Is and
20 for driving while intoxicated.
Persons of that age" Mr.. Carmichael
said, cannot be sold liquor under the
law. The number picked up driving
while drunk is evidence that some
liquor dealers are supplying our young
men with liquor. I, therefore, urge the
proper officials to make an effort to
determine the source of liquor of any
minor arrested for driving while drunk
Such action, of course, is out of the
jurisdiction of my department"
To August /, there have been 658 re-
vacations of drivers licenses the report
disclosed. This is against 769 for the
entire year of 1886. At the same time
there have been 419 suspensions for the
seven months In July there were 50.
In the matter of July revocations,
Hennepin county led the counties with
"a. st. Louis was next with 20 and
Ramsey was third with 16.
Ramsey county, however, led in sus-
pensions with Is, Hennepin was next
with 8 and st. Louis was third with 6.
The drivers license section has re-
turned 81 revocated and suspended Ii
censes where terms have expired.

Arrest DriUers Who
Do Not Dim Lights.

I'm the future, arrest any night
driver who does not depress his head
lights" was the order that John P.
Arnoldy, state highway patrol chief,
gave to his men Monday.
Sufficient publicity has been given
this section of the new uniform traffic
act so that motorists throughout the
state should know they are now re-
quired to dim their lights when pass
ing traffic at night" the chief said.
He also declared that the new law, in
his belief, would result in lowering OF
the highway accident rate as many OF
the crashes at night were caused by
glaring headlights.
The chief pointed out, however, that
drivers of those vehicles that do not
have multiple beam are not violating
the law if they do not dim.
At the same time, he told his patrol
to arrest any driver of gasoline, nap
tina or benzol tank truck who does not
come to dead stop prior to crossing
a railroad track.
Chief Arnoldy also ordered his men to
pick up the driver of any commercial
caravan where a vehicle is pulled and
which does not have brakes that can be
operated by the driver in the tow car.
This order applies also to drivers of
new automobiles in transit pulling
another car.
Declaring that the highways of Min
nesota must be made safer even if
wholesale arrests are necessary, the
highway patrol head instructed his men
to go into action whenever an infringe
ment of the law was detected.

Farmer Finds Dynamite

Swanville-When Adolph Vavra, Jr.,
young bachelor farmer of Brue town.
ship near Swanville, lit the fire in his
kitchen stove one morning he was
greeted by a suffering produced by a
stick of dynamite. The evening before
he had gone to the district school meet
ing, leaving the door of his house open.
When he lit the fire in the morning to
prepare his breakfast he observed the
suffering, and glancing into the ash

the CRATE into the firebox. He pulled
out the ash pan and found stick OF
dynamite on the other end of the fuse
Grabbing the dynamite, he threw il

Business Too Rushing;
Check Writer Jailed.

| Detroit Lakes-One of the busiest
men in Detroit Lakes last Saturday was
George Harris, champion speed writer
of bogus checks, who scattered trail
of worthless paper all over town, de-
ceiving local merchants right and left.
But things went too good for Harris
and his spree was brought sharply to
a halt Saturday night when police ar
rested him as he was boarding the
blinds" Of a passenger train, and at
present he is at the county Jail. Harris
having made the acquaintance of man
by the name of c.. A. Benson, obtained
several check blanks from the counter
Of local bank, filled them out to the
order Of himself and signed them &c. A.
Benson" The checks were filled out in
amounts ranging from $11 to $18.
Armed with his batch of no-good checks
Harris toured the business district.
When he asked to have check caShed,
he told smooth story Of how the
check represented wages he had earned
working for Benson who he said was a
farmer. At six business places Harris
managed to cash checks on the strength
of his story, and when arrested had $50.

Jean Arthur Has NelD
Role In "Easy LiUing."

Lovely Jean Arthur comes to the
screen in another of the rougish, boyd
enish roles which made her famous in
"Mr. Deeds Goes to Town in the new
Preston Sturges comedy Easy Living"
which opens on Saturday midnight with
Sunday and Monday Showings at the
State Theatre
Sharing stellar honors with Edward
Arnold, and appearing opposite Ray
Milland, Miss Arthur plays the role of
a working girl who is given $4,000
sable coat under the most amusing cir
cumstances, and then has to live up to
it. The coat causes a crisis on Wall
Street, saves fashionable hotel from
bankruptcy, patches up a beautiful love
affair between Arnold and his wife,
and wins Miss Arthur a handsome
husband in the mile-a- minute story.
Miss Arthur's last stellar appearance
was in History Is Made at Night" in
which she played role similar to the
one in "Mr. Deeds" Previous to this
she was seen in the Cecil B. DeMille
epic 1.-The Plainsman," in which she
enacted the now famous role of "Cal-
amity" Jane.
Miss Arthur wears wardrobe valued
at 100000 and gems worth $500 600 in
her role as the working girl who made
good-but hasn't the wherewithal to
buy herself square meal in the picture.
Easy Living" marks the first major
appearance of the handsome Midland,
the man who leaped to the top rung of
screen popularity after his appearance
opposite Dorothy Lamour in 1.-THE
Jungle Princess" The cast also in
cludes Luis Alberni, Mary Nash and
over a score of other well-known play
ers. The picture was directed by Nit
chell Lessen, whose latest success,
Swing High, Swing Low" was &C
claimed by critics throughout the
country.

Do Frogs Rain
From the Sky?

Fergus Falls-Many people scott at
reports that minnows and frogs can
literally rain from the sky, and recent
report from Ashby to the effect that
frogs were found in a wagon box after
one of the recent rains has renewed the
argument as to whether or not frogs can
come from the clouds. H. G. Kersten,
a farmer living three miles southwest
of Wendell, offers some positive proof
that frogs can come from the sky.
About fifty years ago, when Mr.. Ker-
stem was working on a farm he saw
real live frogs come down. Seeing some
thing strike the ground, he investigated
and found the object was frog. A
few moments later a half dozen frogs,
all of them alive, came down from the
clear sky. This rain of frogs puzzled
Mr.. Kersten until he heard that at a
point II miles from his farm small
twister had swept up an entire pond,
apparently carrying the frogs by upper
air currents.
