April 17. This is a story with whiskers on it. This is the story of a man who when young looked upon the world and saw many men who had accomplished much and longed to do something himself to win distinction. He cast about in his own mind as to the best way to gain fame and saw only darkness. But suddenly there came straining through the murk an Idea.

His beard which had ever grown easily would win him fame and fortune. He would let it grow and grow until its length would majestically sweep the floor and he would be known as the man with the "longest beard In the world." So as the years pass this hairy tale develops. As Mr. Tanner grew more mature with the years likewise did his beard grow in length and fineness of texture. The owner was proud of his beard and combed 'and braided and even curie the ends of It taking the same amount of pride that the modern "flapper" does In the care of her silken but abbreviated locks.

So as the years passed and the whiskers grew apace, fame came. Mr. Tanner's beard reached the length of seven feet, and then he received offers from various circuses and carnivals of travel and exhibit the result of many years of avoidance of the barber shop. But now that his objective had been attained for no one had a longer beard than Mr. Tanner he prefered to enjoy his honors In private.

He refused all offers to exhibit the pride or his soul, but remained in Brighton and made that village famous. Vanquishes Rival. But behold a rival appeared upon the scene. Another man also attempted to raise a crop of whiskers. A mad whisker-growing race at once was begun.

But rules of the game were strictly adhered to. No hair restoratives were to be used. Nature must take its course. The results of the contest were carefully checked up. the amount of whiskers grown from month to month and year to year was announced.

Sometimes Mr. Tanner was in the lead. th-n again his rival added an extra strand or two. In course of time the rival's elongated goatee had reached a length of six feet. But Brighton's favorite son still maintained his honors for hls beard was seven feet long.

There was great rejoicing in Brighton when the re- STORM TAKES HEAVY TOLL, MANY DEAD-HURT fContinued from oaca building was flooded.

DUBLIN, April 17. By V. P. An attempt by republican rebels to assassinate Michael Collins early today and Insurgent attacks on free state posts in various parts of Dublin, ushered in "Black Monday." anniversary of the 1918 East er rebellion.

The head of the provisional government was fired upon by assailants who rushed from a branch of the Insurgent headquarters, but he escaped and captured one of the assassins. Beggars' Bush barracks was attacked by rebels at midnight. The assault was repulsed by free state troops. Free state lorries, carrying soldiers on patrol, were fired upon in various parts of the city. The provisional government's civic guard headquarters at Balls-bridge, a suburb, withstood an attack.

An -official communique issued today said: "A party of armed men. some of them armed with rifles, attacked a party In which was Michael Collins, head of the provisional government of the Irish free state. Collins' party returned the fire and captured one of their assailants, who carried a bomb in addition to arms. "During the attack, a free state armored car in the vicinity was was disabled by rifle fire and captured by the rebels. "Collins automobile was halted at Vaughn's hotel when his assailants rushed from a nearby branch of rebel headquarters, opening fire, which lasted three minutes.

"Michael Collins and others returned the fire, and Collins rushing from his automobile, captured and disarmed one of the rebel riflemen with his own hands. "Black Monday." "The automobile, in which the free state party was returning from mass, was riddled with bullets." After an Easter Sunday or comparative calm, apprehensions for "Black Monday" proved Justified when firing broke out in various parts of Dublin promptly at midnight. Sounds of shooting from many quarters of the city brought free state troops in force. Armored lorries rumbled through the streets. All civilians were ordered indoors.

Indicating the presence of a considerable insurgent force, simultaneous attacks occurred at Bails-bridge, and in Dublin streets. Free state patrols were tired upon from ambush and in several instances, bold open attacks were made by extremist bands. With the dawn it was found that the outbreak had everywhere been quelled by loyal forces and that Collins' government held the upper hand. General Roderick O'Connor, head of the Irish republican rebel party, was shot in the back by one of his own men. He was not seriously injured.

Robbins. in his drive for a "lovelier launched an attack Monday again.st those persons who insist upon hurling empty tin cans and silimilar refuse into vacant lots.

"This practice must stop," Rob-bins asserted. "The promiscuous scattering of empty cans on the city's vacant lots is both insan-tary and unnecessary. The oity maintains a scavenger ground. Citizens must learn to use it. "Future offenders with tin cans will be dealt with promptly and se verely when apprehended." GERMAN-RUSS0 PACT IS SIGNED AT GENOA (Continued from page 1.) is granted Russia by the Genoa conference which apparently is the most that can be hoped for from the present gathering a disarmament conference probably would be the next step in an effort to end what the Russians say virtually is a state of war between Japan and Soviet Russia, and Rou-mania and Soviet Russia.

Turkey and Greece also might be admit ted to this conference In an effort to stop the righting in Asia Minor, France has expressed a desire to discuss disarmament with her friends, but not with her enemies; consequently there may be some difficulty in getting her to enter a general disarmament or peace conference, embracing all the powers which still have armies on a war footing. Frank A. Vanderlip. the American financier: Professor Gustav Cassel. Swedish economist, and other experts at Genoa apparently are agreed that summoning of a disarmament conference is a necessary 6tep before a successful financial or economic conference Is possible, as lessened military ex penses are imperative before loans can be floated on a large scale.

The United States and Germany probably would not participate in this as Germany has already disarmed under the terms of the Versailles treaty, and the United States is not directly concerned with European army affairs. Washington generally Is regarded as the best site for an economic conference to follow the disarma ment meeting, but holding the meeting there scarcely would be possible unless the Russian government were recognized by the United States in the meantime. As the chances for recognition of the Soviet by the European powers becomes brighter, the interest In America's attitude toward Russia increases and the delegates eagerly are asking the Americans in Genoa how long the Lnited States will hold aloof politically from the Moscow government, which it is helping so generously with food.
