EARLY MISTAKES
People who have acquired life
insurance policies earlier in life,
or maybe more recently, often
discover that they might have
secured a policy which would
better meet their distinctive con-
ditions.
It is very often desirable to
change one policy for something
more suited. 1 proffer my serv-
ices in helping a person analyze,
the policy he has and in advis-
ing him as to what he needs.

Suspicious Fires
in Manchester Are
Alarming Officials
(Associated >.es« Dispatch.)
Manchester, England, Feb. 13.—A
number of simultaneous outbreaks of
fire in several mills and factories in
Manchester, Fallsworth, Koyton "anJ
Rochdale Saturday night were accom-
panied by suspicious circumstances,
such as the employment of inflam-
mable liquids and the fleeing of men
acting suspiciously, some of whom
were fired at. The circumstances led
to the belief that the fires were the
result of sinn fein activity, although
there were no proofs of this.
Sir Robert Peacock, chief constable,
considers that he has obtained con-
vincing evidence that the fires were
due to the work of "Irish irreconcil-
ables."
No serious damage resulted from
the fires, each of them having been
quickly discovered and quenched. Ii
each of the eight fires started, on-
trance to the buildings was gained by
breaking of windows. Hags soaked
with petrol were used to start, th.
fires.
Spice is added to the city political
situation this morning (n the an-
nouncement of the resignation of l>r.
O, F. Gober as alderman from the
Third ward, the same to come before
the regular session of the city council
to be held Feb. 22.
Under ordinary conditions the resig-
nation would have been presented to
that body first, through considerations
of aldermanic courtesy, but owing to
I he fact that the nest regular session
is so far off and the city primary Is
due to be held March 3, Alderman
Gober feels that the voters are en-
titled to as much notice as possible
In order that another selection can be
made without undue haste, 'hence
considers his action in making known
his purpose now, will not be misun-
derstood in any quarter.
lie stated yesterday that he has had
the matter of resignation under con-
sideration for some time, the con-
stantly increasing pressure upon his
leisure from other sources rendering
it increasingly difficult to give the
time and attention he feels are re-
quired of a city official.
Alderman Gober was elected last
year and is now completing his first
half of a two year term; his presence
in the city council has been of a moff
benefieient and valuable kind and the
loss of his services can 111 be spared
in the estimation of large numbers of
his constituents. As 'n result of his
resignation the voters are called upon
to nominate two aldermanic candi-
dates from the Thrd ward in the pri-
mary to be held March 3.
Witchcraft Leads
to Arson Charges
and Heavy Fines
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Papeete, Tahiti, Dec. 13.-'-Drastic
treatment for witchcraft recently ap-
plied in the Island of Ilaivavae led to
a charge of arson. The government
resident then sentenced the natives
concerned to hard labor on the roads
in the neighboring island of Tubual.
Ilaivavae* is one of the Islands of
the Austral group to the south of
Tahiti in the. South SeaS.
Recently there died in that island
an old woman who, during her life-
time (on account of her alleged pow-
ers of magic and vindictive temper)
had held the islanders and particular-
ly those of her old family-connection
in a state of fear. To offend' her, ac-
cording to the native story, meant a
speedy visitation of misfortune, sick-
ness and even death upon those who
had aroused her displeasure.
For sometime before her death her
wrath had been directed against some
of her nearer relatives and, conscious
'hat her end was near, she warned
them that her passing would fail to
relieve them from her vengeance, but
hat even from the shades her pow-
ers would prevail against them.
Curiously enough, the native story
runs, no sooner had the old bitldame
been gathered to her fathers than
(Associated PreiS Dispatch.)
Berlin, Feb. IS.—Gradually increas-
ing prices for Xuod in Berlin have
caused a Corresponding increase in the
■demands of workmen for higher
wages and strikes, or the threat of
strikes, hang over virtually every busi-
ness in the city.
Approximately 1,000,000 persons are
reported unemployed in Germany, the
majority of them in reduced circum-
stances, some facing starvation. Four
months ago 284,181 women were seek-
ing employment, according to the la-
bor ministry's estimate, and it was
announced 300.000 persons shortly
would be out of work or on short
time, the latter being unable to earn
enough to support themselves.
Nearly every municipality in Ger-
many is occupied with the problem of
providing work for unemployed and
adjusting wage difficulties, in an ef-
fort to forestall the spread of strikes
anil further discontent,
The meat shops of Berlin are well
stocked with choice cuts and liave
large supplies of imported cheese, oils,
pickles and other viands but, as winter
advances, prices continue to go up
and tales fall off. With nothing saved
frun- summer wages, workmen are
facing the problem of expenditures for
fuel for heat and warm clothcs in ad-
dition to food and the fact that the
pay of many falls short of meeting
these expenses has caused a spread of
unrest.
Sporadic strikes already have oc-
curred, not only in Berlin, but also in
the provinces and while there has
been no evidence that a general strike
is probable, the situation is causing
state and municipal governments
much concern.
Proprietors of food shops say prices
are higher than they were a year ago
when nothing was being imported, be-
cause a vigilant watch is kept on
smuggling and import duties, now be-
ing paid, are necessarily added to the
retail price of commodities. As a re-
sult they say only the very well to do
and foreigners are %ble to buy im-
ported stuffs.
Meat at 26 marks a pound, sausages
at 30 to 3t> and cheese 3S is still be-
yond the means of the average work-
man. Meat merchants say the aver-
age German can afford meat .not
oftener than once a month and he
must buy cuts of poorest quality.
With wages for skilled workmen
ranging from 30 to 40 marks a day,
and for common labor at -5 mat ks,
the food experts estimate the mini-
mum cost of existence in Berlin. For
'a. single mart at 145 marks a week;
for a man and wife, 21« marks a
week; frtr man and wife and two chil-
dren between 7 and 14 years
marks. These prices have shown a
gradual increase since February and
it is expected will continue to rise dur-
ing the winter.
While bread is stoll rationed, meat
cards are no longer issued. It is said
they are unnecessary because the peo-
ple'generally cannt buy emat at pre-
vailing prices unless wages are greatly
advanced. In spite of the well stocked
shops, the meat supply is reported
only half the amount on hand during

WEST TEXAS SHERIFF DISCIPLE
OF SHERIjOCK HANDED OF-
FICERS m H STEER.
There is a San Antonio auto dealer
who is "off" the system of offering
aid to motor tourists in distress. En
route to Temple yesterday in a spauk-
ing new car for delivery to a Dallas
customer who was to meet him here
he overtool»on the road an asthmatic
old boat occupied by a white man and
a negro. It was laboring painfully
aiong and the San Tone man, out of
the goodness of his heart stopped, had
a little chat, asked a number of ques-
tions including one as to whether lie
could be of asistance. Nope. At a
town further along he stopped and
after awhile, here came the same old
tub, floundering iiflo town. Another
conversation was struck up. The
dealer advised the driver of the tub to
either trade it off or buy a new one.
Asked if he would consider a trade
on his new ear, lie acquiesced. But
that was as far as the deal got. This
time the news leaked out that the oc-
cupants of the ancient hoopieack^was
a west Texas sheriff and prisoner/
Conversation over, boih* drivers
hitched up and the San Tone man
came into Temple. Right after he got
liei;e trouble started.
The old sheriff had made a few
mental deductions which added up
caused him to suspect the San An-
tonio dealer to be an anto "bootleg-
ger," so when he got to Helton, the
old osslfer phoned peace officers here
of the occurrence, gave the nuaber-af
the new car and description of the
driver, advising that he be locked up.
Old Sherlock was on the job.
This end of the line got busy. An
officer took the streets and reveral
more piled into cars to head off the
party at various cross roads. Every-
thing was set for a pinch. The street
sleuth hadn't gone very far when he
saw something that made his lamps
bug out. What lie lamped was the
very car being hunted for. lie stuck
around. Soon the San Tone man
showed up, acknowledged to owner-
ship and was at once haled before the
bar of justice. Not being aide tJb
"sabe" tly dope, naturally his answers
to questions did not satisfy.
The arresting officer said later that
the victim Was telling so many lies
you couldn't believe him at all. Then
the San Antonio chief was located on
the long distance. "Turn him loose
quick as you can," was the advice;
"you've pinched the biggest motor cat-
dealer in San Antonio."
The argument was ended. Sweet
liberty was restored. But >ou can
hardly blame the local flatfect. Sup-
pose what the old sheriff told them
was true and the guy made iiis set-
a-awy

things began to hapjpen; sickness
broke out among those laid under her the same months before the, wai.
curse; pigs and fowls died from no ap-
parent cause; the atmosphere about
the dwellings seemed charged - with
menacing influences.
With fear in their hearts the natives
under affliction consulted an ancient
warlock who advised that the only
w ay of escape would be to disinter the
bones of the witch, beat them to pow-
der and burn them in the* house in
which she died. This they did.
With ftiuch ceremony and many in-
cantations by the old warlock the
bones were unearthed and transported
to the bouse and the house itself
burned down to the ground, to make
assurance doubly sure.
All supernatural manifestations, the
natives declare, then ceased,
But misfortune grievous and dire
descended from another quarter. The
government resident hearing of the
affair summoned all who were con-
nected with it to his presenca and on
the charge of arson sentenced them to
various terms of hard labor on the
roads of Tubual.
