Berlin, April 21: James E. Tobin
son and his wife, residents of Chi
cago, were attacked by German men,
women and children Tuesday as
they sat in Sans Souci park, follow
ing the funeral of the former eni
ptess. .
The Americans were rescued by a
policeman and two German civilians,
who surrounded . them, accepting a
pelting of sticks, stones and umbrel
as until they could escort the couple
to the police station in Potsdam.
Here eira policemen dispersed the
cruvd. .
During the attack the rescuers
could not quiet the crowd, members

head and shoulders and his wife
received bruised nose. Her hat

"The mob." said Mr, Tobinson,
"was incited by an old woman who
thought we were French. The crowd
attacked up and chased us from Sans
Souci park to Potsdam. It is my
' opinion we would have been killed
f-Ncept for one policeman and two
German civilians. The police, how
ever, did all that was possible. I
desire to make no representations to
the German government."
Mrs. . Tobinson said: "We were
sitting in Sans Souci park speaking
T.nglish. There were three women
in the same seat. The one nearest
lis turned to her companions and
declared we were French. They be
gan abusing foreigners.
Cannot Speak French.
."A crowd gathered. To the chil
dren the old woman declared we
had spoken in French words derog-
' atory to the former empress. Neither
of us understands French. One of
the old woman's 5 companions tried
to explain we had not spoken about
the former empress, but that we
were discussing the beauty .of the
park. -
"The crowd, however, drew near
er, shouting we were French and
. children began to throw stones. My
husband tried to protect me as we
ran and then two civilians (and the
policemen came to our aid. V

If Grumpy Weasel had been" a

wouldn't have been so surprised
when he-dared Jimmy Rabbit to race

him; Evcrybodv knew that Jimmy
was swift-footed especially since he
once beat old Mr. Jurtle (but that
is another story). .
When Mr. Crow, who was a
great bearer of news, tola Jimmy
Rabbit one day that Grumpy Weasel
wanted a face with him, Jimmy Rab
bit seemed more than - willing to
oblige. "Where, when and how far,
does Grumpy want to run against
me?" he asked. - ;
Mr. Crow ' said that he didn t
know, but that he would make it his
business to find out. So off he hur
ried to find Grumpy W easel,. for if
there was anything Mr'. Crow liked
it was busying himself with other
people's affairs. . . , '
He did not have what you could
call a pleasant; talk with Grumpy
Weasel. Once when lilr. , Crov
alighted too near the ground
Grumpy jumped at him. And sev
eral times he called Mr. Crow a nest
robber and 'an egg thief, ; though
goodness knows Grumpy Weasel
himself was as bad as the worst
when it came to robbing birds' nests.
Although he telt as it he were
about to burst with rage, old 'Mr.
Crow pretended to laugh. He had
been having a rather dull time,'wait-ing-
for Farmer Green "to plant his
corn, and he thought" that a lively
race might put him in better spiritj.
"Where do you want to race
against Jimmy Rabbit?" Mr. Crow
asked. " . - rs' '
- 'WV1I start from this wall," said
Grumpy sulkilyj "because it's always
better to start from where you arc
than where you aren't."
Mr. Crow, said that that seemed
reasonable.' . v,
"When do you want to. race?" he
added. , , ; . .. " .
"The sooner we start the ouicker
we'll finish," Grumpy Weasel
snapped.
"Quite true, quite true'". Mr. Crow
agreed. "And now may , I , inquire
how long a race you want to run?"
"No longer than I have to'"
Grumpy growlpd. "NoMnore than; a
dav or "two, I hopel" ;-i . :
Mr. Crow snickered slightly., "I
see vou don't understand my ques
tion." he observed. "Are you gointr
to run a .mile, or only a few- rods:?"
' "How do I know?" Grnmpy'cricd,
as if he had no patience with his
questioner. "How could anybody
tell? . I'll let Jimmy Rabbit start 20
jumps ahead of me and we'll run till
I catch him."
Well. Mr. Crow laughed right out
.loud when he heard that. And he

was about to tell Grumpy that he
would have to run till the end of his
days if he raced Jimmy Rabbit in
any S'lich fashion as that. But "he
saw all at once that such a race
would be a great joke. And he said
to himself with a chuckle that the
laugh would be on Grumpy. Weasel.
For Jimmy, Rabbit was so swift a
runner that nobody who knew any
thing at , all would ever consent to
give him a start much less propose
such a thing. .. ,.
'"Very well!" said Mr. Crow with a
smirk, "I'll report to Jimmy Rabbir.
I'll tell .him where, when and hov
you want. toi race, antf there's no
doubt- that your plan will please
him."
'T hope it won't!" Grumpy Weasel
snarled. 'Tv.e never pleased any

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. I. KING.
' White Horses.
, In New England th.cy say "Wish
on the first white horse you see after
the New Year and you will get your
wish," or "Say white horse seven
times every- time you see one
and . you w'ill find something," or
' Count 100 white, horses and you
will receive a present." ' But in Can
ada they say that if you watch a
span of white horses out ot sight
you will die within the year; and in
Michigan it is Considered bad luck
for a bridal couple to ride behind a
pair of white horses.
. Jn the superstition with regard to
a span of white horses we have an
echo of the mythological legend of
Hippolytus, who was killed when his
span of white horses ran away with
him upon the Troczen shore and
who, with Djana, was afterwards
worshipped at Nemi, whec white
horses were sacrificed to him. The
fate of Hippolytus sufficiently ex
plained the idea of bad luck attach
ing to a span of white horses.
On the Other hand the idea of
good luck attaching to a white horse
arises from the fact that such an
animal was considered a propitiatory
ofjering calculated to obtain the fa
vor of the gods and as such they
were annually sacrificed in many
places in the heathen worldj
There is a - popular belief that
when you see a wlyte horse you
will soon see a red-beaded girl. In
some varients of tins superstition a
red-haired person of either sex is in
dicated. Now the standard of Hen
gist and Horsa, the Jutish chief who
invaded England in the- fifth'" cen
tury, was a white horse. The Jutes
were a German tribe and we have it
uno:i the authority of Tacitus that
t !ic Germans were red-haired, which
the ancient. Britons were not. So
wherever you saw the White Horse
pf. Hengist and Horsa you would
see a red-head. The genera form
of thf superstition which specifies a
red-headed woman is, apparently, an
echo of the names of the Jutish
chiettains, Hengist and Horsa
horse and mare masculine and
lenunme. wherever you saw ,Ktne
White Horse of Hengist you would
see the red head of .his brotKer,
Horsa the chief with the feminine
came. . . - . . . . -

WHY
Have July and August 31 Days Each.
In the distribution of the days
throughout the several months, Julius
Caesar adopted a simpler and more
easily remembered' arrangement than
that which has prevailed since his
time. He ordered that the first, third,
fifth, seventh, ninth and 11th months
the "odd numbit-months" of Jan
uary, .aiarcn, May,, July, 'iseptemper
and Novcmber-'-sh.otild each have '31
days, ' while the "even number"
months were to have 30 each, with
the exception of February, which in
Common years should have 29 days,
but every fourth year, should have
30. . . . ;
This arrangement, however, was
interrupted by the vanity of' Augus
tus Laesar, who insisted that tne
month named in his honor- must
have as rii'ahy days as July, named
in. honor of Julius Caesar. Accord
ingly, a day was taken from Feb
ruary and given to August, and in
order .that three months of 31 days
should'- not fall together, September
and November were reduced to 30
days, and1 31- given to October and
December. ' " . 5: :

Farmers' Union .
Starts Drive for
Reduced Rates
Delegation to Present Plea for
Lower Freight Charges '
To President
' Harding.
, Washington, April 21. A drive for
reduced freight rates on agricultural
products was launched here yester
day by the National Farmers' union,
which began a three days' convene
tion. ,
A delegation from the meeting ap
peared before the interstate com
merce commission and later arranged'
to present the plea for a cut in freight
rates to Tresident Harding tomor
row. - - -. " 7
Charles S. Barrett, president of
the Farmers' ' union, headed the
delegation before the commission.
Among members of congress who
accompanied the farmers and sup
ported their demand for a freight
rate reduction were Representatives
Campbell of Kansas, Clark of Flor
ida, Verght of Wisconsin and Laza
ro of Louisiana. The contention of
some of ' the speakers that high
freight rates were chiefly responsible
for the slump in traffic was chal
lenged by some of the members of
the commission and by Traffic Di
rector y.'. V. Hardie of the commis
sion. "I have talked with' about 30
freight traffic officials and not one
of them has, that idea," said Mr.
Hardie. "All admit that high freight
rates constitute a factor hi the situa
tion, but not one has admitted a con
viction of a suspicion that they con
stitute the factor responsible for the
reduction in the amount of business
the railroads are doing."
The" demand that freight rates be
reduced immediately brought forth
a comment from Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Potter to the
effect that this was impossible.

tivities revealed that he had wired
officials of the Northern Trust com
pany of Chicago asking for a loan
of $10,000. He receive a letter in
reply in which the trust company
intormed him they could not carry

sent of hi's sister, Clara. The offi
cials suggested that he write them a
letter fully explaiping the details of
the desired loan and also requested
his sister to get into touch i with
them for reference.
That Cudahy was in severe finan
cial straits and was attempting to
remedy this condition was disclosed
by messages (jent hy him to Sheldon
Clark of 111 West Washington
street. Chicago, indicating that he
was dickering on a motion pictuie
proposition. Documents and letters
expected to throw further light on
the cause . of suicide were turned
tn-er to the coroner's office by detec
tives detailed on the case. Cudahy
has been residing at the Hollywood
address for about six weeks and dur
ing most of that time had been
moody and subject ; to protracted
spells of melancholia, according ti
friends. ; ,' -.

Widow Is Proserated.
The widow, Mrs. Edna ' Cowin
Cudahy, who was the daughter of
Gen, John Clay Cowin of Omaha.
Neb., was said today to be in a
state of collapse. With her in the
house when Cudahy killed himself
were two of their four children,
Anna Cudahy, 17, , and Michael
Cudahy, 14, their only son. Miss
Marie Cudahy was away from the
home at the time. The fourth child
is Mrs. Percy Fisher Browne of
Pasadena, who was married only a
few months ago.
In connection with the financial
and physical troubles which were
believed by officials and friends
alike to have been the immediate
cause of the suicide, a number of
court actions In which Cudahy fig
ured were recalled today.
For several weeks prior to March
21, of this year. Cudahy N was at a
Pasadena hotel, attended by neurolo
gists. Then he came to a hotel in
Los Angeles I and registered under
an assumed name, it was said. On
April 15, back again at his Holly
wood home, according to Dr. L. J.
Huff, who attended, him, he took
poison. Dr. Huff found Cudahy ill,
but apparently his system was free
from poison, the physician said. Cuda
hy told Dn'Huff, the latter stated to
the police, he. had tried to kill himself
but declined to give reasons.
Why Cudahy lived at a hotel under
a name other than his own was not
known. Friends suggested it might
have been in line with a complaint
he once made that he "never could
do anything like other men."
"If I tip a waiter," they quoted
him, "it is immediately circulated
I am giving away $100 bills."
"If I buy a piece of jewelry, it is
heralded from coast to coast.
"It I am seen at a race track, I am
always 'betting wildly.' "
In 1915, he disappeared for a time.
Friends and relatives conducted a
search which ended when he was
found, calmly reading a magazine
in his Pasadena home.
