I REFUSING "LIGHT"
i INSULT IN GERMANY
'Denial of Match May Bring
Heavy Fine.
Dresden, Germany,—A Dresden up
peal court lias upheld u man who com-
jiluiiiod nKulnst another for refusing
to sive him o light on the street. The
specific charge was Insult and offense.
Mke most laws, this law against In-
sult and offense has a common-sense
background, although II may be abused
by frivolous, or childish, or spiteful
application. The law Is designed pri-
marily to curl) those persons who are
crossly offensive and rude to their
neighbors and so nre likely to create
breaches of the peace. A comparable
law was that on the staute hooks of
■some of the states of the United
Stales long before prohibition, which
forbade drinking alcoholic liquor on
trains. Experience had proved that
many times train drinkers became
drunk and abusive and a menace to
their fellow passengers.
Often Wrongly Applied.
The great trouble with f,uch laws
as that upheld In Dresden Is that they
are often wrongly applied. Any man
asked for a light late at night by a
burly stranger In a deserted street
i might well think that the old scheme
1 of asking for a light preparatory 1o
pulling a robbery of the wayfarer was
j about to be tried. Certainly, the aver-
age person In the United Stales looks
askance at light askers in deserted
streets, and more so at strangers who
ask the time. Still, a law against in-
sult and offense might be a boon for
lightweights In subway crushes or
would-be ticket buyers at some New
York theaters.
Fines up to $100 and even imprison-
ment are the penalties which threaten
the Germans who refuse a light to a
stranger In the street anxious to
ignite his cigarette, cigar or pipe.
This Is the great surprise for the
German world of smokers provided as
the verdict in the case before the
Dresden court of appeal.
Insult Upheld.
Herr ICrause, hurrying home one
night last year through the streets of
Dresden, lmd somewhat brusquely re-
fused the request of u follow pedes-
trian that he should stop and allow
him to light Ills cigarette on the glow-
ing end of Ilerr Krause's cigar.
The petitioner took Herr Krause's
refusal so much to heart that he pur-
sued lilui and had him arrested by a
policeman, who took Ilerr Krause's
address.
The owner of the unllghted cigar-
ette then proceeded to sue Herr
Krauso before the civic court for In-
sult and offense, which under Ger-
man law Is punishable with heavy
fines and even imprisonment. Ilerr
Krause was found guilty of having
Insulted the would-be-smoker and
wns sentenced to pay a small fine.
He appealed against tills verdict,
however, and the Dresden court of
appeal absolved him from the fine,
but declared at the same time that
"the refusal to oblige a person with
a light can constitute an Insult."

Farm Population Is
Lowest in 20 Years
Washington.—The Department of
Agriculture announced that the farm
population was now the smallest in
20 years, with 27,fill,000 on the farms
on January 1, compared with a peak
of 32,000,000 In 1009.
The bureau's estimate also shows a
decrease In farm population during
the last year despite improved agri-
cultural conditions und a slight slack-
ening In Industrial employment, the
January 1,1020, figure comparing with
a farm population of 27,000,000 per-
sons on January 1, 1028.
The decrease In farm population In
the last year would have been much
greater were It not offset by an ex-
cess or births over deaths, the figures
revealing that In the movement of
population from and to farms, 1,000,-
000 persons left farms during the
year and 1,302,000 persons moved from
cities to farms.
The movement away from farms
slowed up somewhat during the year
compared with Immediately preceding
years, but the movement from cities
to farms also was smaller. Thus It Is
shown that 1,900,000 persons left
farms during the last year, compared
with 1,078,000 In 1927, and with 2,155,-
000 In 1920. The movement from cit-
ies to farms wns 1,320,000 persons last
year, 1,374,000 in 1927 and 1,135,000
In 1920.
The large farm birth rate of twenty-
three births per 1,000 persons and
small death rate of eight deaths per
1,000 persons has been a big factor
offsetting the farm-to city movement,
go that the net loss of farm popula-
tion last year was 188,000 persons,
compared with 193,000 In 1927 and
with 049.000 In 1020.
Deportation to "Utopia"
Request to Be Granted
South Bend, lad.—William K, Starr,
twenty-two, will be deported to Rus-
sia, which he described as a working-
man's Utopia during an attack on the
economic system of the United States
In city court here.
Arrested on a vagrancy charge,
Starr was given permission to say
a few words.
"I want to return to Russia, the
worklngmnn's Utoplu, where I can
live and let live, I want to be de-
ported."
"Don't worry. I'll see that your
wish Is gratified," City Judge Chester
L. Ducoiab replied.

tonic
/TJEALLY, you'll be astounded at how quickly PERUNA builds you
I v up. Thi9 old, time-honored internal medicine, originally a doctor's
prescription, contains IRON—also roots and kerbs that physicians
recognize as ideal during convalescence. Soon breaks up those stubborn
coughs, due to colds; wakes the appetite, helps assimilation of energies,
assures normal elimination, tones up the entire system. So pleusanC to
take ... so really stimulating. The fact is, you don't have to j
be miserably ill to need and want PERUNA. Ask any one
of the millions who have enjoyed its benefits in the past half /
century. If you're merely tired out, lack "pep," have no / Ask
desire for food, just try one bottle and note the differ- / Your
ence. See how it brings you back and keeps you there. / Drtidtfisl
It Seemed So
Daddy was having a round of golf
with a friend, and little Joan came
along with mamnia to look on. After
watching the game for some time,
Joan asked:

Mileage
"IIow many miles can you travel on
a gallon?" .
"Can't say, exactly," said Mr. Chug-
glns. "I am unable to lignre the dis-
tance I have to cover to the next fill-
ing station when I run out of gas."
A woman's ability to pity others
gives her a lot of pleasure.
Girls, don't worry about
middle age
Lots to recommend
it, if you keep fit
TELL a sensible woman of 50 that
she looks like the older sister
rather than the mother of her chil-
dren, and she just laughs at you.
"I'm middle-aged," she'll declare,
"and not trying to hide the fact.
Why should I? Middle age has a lot
in its favor—that is, if you're well
and healthy.
"Sick? Never had a doctor in my life
except when my babies came. Never
had the habit of dosing myself with
pills and medicines, either. I just
took Nujol—all the time my babies
were coming, and in between times,
too. I'll always depend on Nujol.
"Even the healthiest woman is better
off by taking Nujol—especially at
times when her system is apt to be
thrown off balance and her regular
functions upset. This pure substance
keeps your system functioning nor-
mally and naturally even under ab-
normal conditions. It not only pre-
vents an excess of body poisons (we
all have them) from forming, but
aids in their removal. It's these poi-
sons that age people prematurely.
Make them feel old and tired and
useless."
Nujol isn't a medicine or drug. For
this reason it can't possibly disagree
with you or upset you. It is simply a
pure natural product. It works effec-
tively without being drastic.
Start Nujol now. You'll find Nujol
at all drugstores. In sealed packages
only. Get a bottle today.
