(Syllabus) In.three actions brought by a jud#- ment creditor to subject to the lien of the: judgment three parcels of land purchased subsequent to the judgment. each in the name of a different child lof the judgment debtor, the evidence showed that the children in whose names the lands had been purchased jhad advanced to their ‘father and mother from time to time moneys in excess of the amounts paid by the father upon the purchase price at the time of purchase; also that the chil- dren in whose names the lands were | purchased worked away from home. earning money, part of which was ‘turned over to the father with an un- derstanding that hetwould repay it at a subsequent time whenever they might desire to invest it. It is held: (1) The evidence fails to show that the lands were purchased in the names of the various grantees in circum- stances indicating that they held the title in trust for their father as the | beneficial owner. (2) Where a conveyance is attack- ed by a judgment creditor as fraud- | ulent, the burden of proving the fraud | rests upon the one asserting it. | "(8) The relationship of parent and child existing between ‘parties to an |alleged fraudulent conveyance does i not remove from the creditor the burden of proving fraud. . | (4) Relationship of rent and | child between the parties to an al- | leged fraudulent conveyance is a cir umstance calling for a close scrutiny of the transaction, but is not itself la badge of fraud; nor does it give rise to a presumption supplanting | proof. | called “New York Rule,” the, bank which receives such paper in tue first Tnstance is responsible for the conduct ‘of its correspondents anc subagents as fully as though it had performed the entire service itself. Under the “Massachusetts Rule” the bank which receives out-of-town paper. for collection id résponsible only for its own negligence, and not for the negligence of its correspondents or subagents. In the instant case it is held that the evidence does not justify a re- covery under either rule. From a judgment of the District Court of Rolette county, Buttz, J., defendant appeals. Reversed.

Once Known Throughout the World as the Shrine of German Militarism, ~ It Is Now a Joke. One of the most striking physical signs of tie demilitarization of Ger- many is in the degradation of the fa- mous Brandenburger Thor, Germany's arch of triumph, at the head of Unter den Linden, writes Guy Hickok in the Brooklyn Eagle. Pre-war visitors to Berlin ‘will re- member this arch as the very shrine of German militarism and Kaiserliche authority. No one but his imperial majesty was allowed to drive through the center arch, A platoon of the smartest sol- diers in the German army was quar- tered there, ever ready to snap into the mostly epileptic rigtdity at the ap- proach of any high ranking officer. Drums‘rolled at the arch many times a day—whenever such an officer loomed in sight—and burst into a per- fect\ fever of thumping and stuttering when the all highest drove by. Or- dinary folk had to leave the sidewalk to pass the guard at the gate. ‘A Now every shabby cab driver, push- cart man, boy bicyclist or news vender aakes it a point to go through the center urch and none other, There is no platoon of soldiers of any sort on guard. ne} A thousand generals—if there were that many—might amble through with- out creating a stir. There are no drums to thump. One poor youth of the security po- lice, not over well informed, stands on a block of-stone, with not an atom of pomp in him, . 4 No one tn Berlin is so humble as to do him honor, No pne thinks of leav- ing the sidewalk for him, In fact he has to nave al fence in front of him- self to keep from being pushed aside by civilians. 4 If he tried to exercise the authority of a New York policeman he would be + mobbed. He assumes no control over street iraflic or anything else. He merely stands, Oc lonally, byt very seldom, & civilian stops to ask him the way to somewhere, and he digs out his little street ctory ‘and gives his answer meekly, embarrassed at baving attract- ed attention, | The once proud arch itself i& plas- tered with. tattered white placards as big and as plentif{l as our American wartime Liberty Joan pgsters. But the words and the purpose of the placards are quite different. They are there, not to increase military strength, but to reduce it. They are part of the German government's at- tempt to obey the disarmament con- ditions of the Versailles treaty and thé big letters on them read: “Deliver Up Your Weapons.” \ The smailer letters explain that the government must turn over to the en- tente the rifles that the soldiers took home with them when the army fell to pleces after the armistice, and of- fer a premium for early surrender. The Brandenburger Thor, used as an instrument for the weakening ‘of German militarism, is as complete a reversal of purposes if our own Statute of Liberty were fitted Inside with prison cells for filltors who in- sist on a free pres: ; —_—_ Immense Deposits of Coal. Coal fields with a thickness of vein| of six feet and with an ,estimated! area of 16,000,000 square feet have recently been discovered at a depth of 26 feet below what hitherto has heen regarded as the bottom of the} “Svea mine” in Spitzbergen, accord- ing to advices from Consul General Murphy at Stcckholm. «\ None bur expert miners have been employed at the Svea mine because of the difficulty in| working the old 80- centimeter vein, but in the new vein unskilled InboN may be used. Ma- chinery will be used to break out the coal, thereby incrensing and cheapen- Ing the output. \ During the present year 36,000 tons are expected to be produced, as against 18,000 fn 1919, while in, 1921 it is estimated that the ‘utput will reach 72,000 tons. Airplanes’ Common Now. Four or five years ago an airplane flying overhead\was considerable of a sight and would cause everyone to stop and watch the machine, The war, with thou ds of planes in use, has taken the novelty cut of the airplane. Down at Mineola, on Long Island, the y thing that will ¢ a native to gaze into the sly nowadays when he fails to hear the roar of an airplane engine. Airplanes are as common as mosquitoes Toa there, and a dozen of them up over the town at once are no strange sight. Wlten there is none up, however, it causes the Mineolans to gaze aloft to see what the trouble is. Advised to Raise Own Furs.
