Fishing in Lake Mjarie is proving fine catches of pike, blue gills and pickerel. That the number oafish may not be rapidly depleted by the ardent fans of the sport, Bert Roberts, owner of the Merry Glen Hotel on the north side of Lake Marie, has stocked the lake with ten cans of pike, each ; can containing 50,000 fish. Vincent Saunaris, 43, of Route 2, Lake Villa, was killed early last Sat- „ urday morning when the car which he was driving crashed headlong into a truck operated by John Taylor, driver for the Chicago North Shore Fast Freight Trucking company on Morrow avenue, west of North Chicago.

Information comes to us that the water in Lake Elizabeth of Twin Lakes is getting lower and lower and residents of the lake are becoming concerned thai the lake may become dry unlesw some quick action is taken to hold the water in the lake. It is believed that a dam is needed on the lower end of the lake, the dam which was formerly there having been taken out several years ago. While not sufficient rain may cause some of the trouble much water is being lost by Tunning out the lower end, is the claim of. lake residents. J. B. Reed, 60, a larmer residing north of Barrington, was found shot to death on the front porch of his home shortly before noon last week Tuesday. Discovery of his body was made by his wife. Mrs. Reed had been in Waukegan on a shopping trip. Upon her return She xound her husband slumped down on the porch, a severe bullet wound in his head and a shot gun near the body. She summoned a physician of Barrington. The latter found that life was extinct, and notified Coroner J. L. Taylor of Libertyville, who gave instructions not to remove the body from the porch, so that all evidence could be taken to determine whether death was caused by suicide or murder. An investigation was held by the coroner •shortly after noon Tuesday, after whi^H a coroner's jury returned a verdict of suicide. According to the testimony of his wife, Reed had been in rather poor health for some time. Added to this discomfort was his constant worry over farm crops, caused by the continued drouth. As a result of an automobile accident on U. S. Highway No. 14 near the Ben Reed tavern at Crystal Lake Monday afternoon of last week, Bartlett Green, Mrs. Green and their two daughter?, were injured.

ROBOT SLEUTH MAY • HEAD HUMAN MND Electric Device Will Open New • Era, Scientists Say. Milwaukee.--Inquisitive sctence^has developed an electric detective that is so sensitive that after it has been studied for a while tfVill undoubtedly be able to tell you what you are thinking about. It was designed to tell the resistance of matter under observation to an electric current. It Is what is known as the' Wheaistone bridge, and several of the devices are in use in Milwaukee now. Marquette university has them In the -physiology department and ift the college of engineering. The college of engineering uses them in its electrical classes. The United States' bureau of fisheries at Gloucester, Mass., has been able to tell, with this device, just how fresh a fresh flsh really is. It can be used to determine spurious coins from real ones--because a standard coin, which is an alloy, has a standard resistance to electricity, and any other alloy will vary from that. Holding one of these devices In his hand, Oscar D. Werwath, president of the Milwaukee School of Engineering, said: f "This little instrument is capable of measuring ohm Resistance with as wide a variation as 10,000 ohms.. It can pick out a resistance of one ten-thousandth of an ohm. This makes Its practical application unlimited."

Buck Rabbit Inspiration for Jugoslav Industry Belgrade.--A buck rabbit by the name of "Magnus" has proved the Inspiration of a new industry for Jugoslavia. Two years ago bis owner, Professor Lobedev, a lecturer on the technical faculty of the Belgrade university, purchased him from Britain for the purpose of starting an Angora rabbit farm. Professor Lebedev had a few other rabbits at that time, but he attributes most of his success to this prize winner, who has brought the population of his farm up to 1,500 in two years. Due to the success of this first venture in the Angora wool business. Professor Lebedev expects to open other rabbit centers In Jugosalvia. Part of his success he attributes to the inexpenslvenes's of rabbit nourishment here, and labor in caring for them. High prices are obtainable for first-class rabbits both from Britain and the United States. Each rabbit is clipped approximately four times a year and his food bill averages not more than about 62 cents in 12 months. The average wool return per rabbit is over $3.20 and the upkeep is negligible. A flourishing industry is predicted for Belgrade and vicinity. , Out, Study of Kitchen Tools, College Cookery, Spending the Food l>ollar Wisely, Making the Most of What You Have, and First Aid. * Any girls in the county, age 10 to 20 is eligible for the clothing, foods or special projects; from 14 to 20 years old for room improvement; and from 17 to 26 for, the projects for older girls.

Night Motor Racing Is Growing in Popularity Washington.--Night automobile racing is rapidly becoming popular the country over, it was Indicated in a survey by the contest board of the American Automobile association. Introduced three years ago at the Ascot speedway in Los Angeles, before the idea of after dark competition gripped baseball and football fans, night races drew record attendance. However, not until recently have the lucrative possibilities of "Illuminated" raq,es become apparent to eastern and mldwestern speedway operators. Now race operators in these sections have made extensive, hurried arrangements to Install illlumiuating facilities in their speedways In time for the season openings In late May. Track promoters at Long Island, N.

On that count, Standard Red Crown Superfuel gives you a full money'8 worth, plus. We know that, It has been established by tests of many gasolines. A new car with a high compression engine requires Superfuel's responsiveness to perform at its best.
