Be Only Mirror Reflection
Fond Du Lac. Wis.. Dec. 5 (U.R A black-frocked widow insis
ted today that a "glowing cross" on the wall of her farm home

newsmen decided it was a re- flection from a mirror.
About 1,000 persons have flocked through the small resi

view the phenomenon. The wid-

of, English not Siamese twins are inseparable.
They have ordered that Mrs. Edith Sutcliffe and Mrs. Ethel

manently, even at the expense of their husbands' jobs.
The sisters were married to

work as an employment agent
took him to Gainsborough, 40
miles from here. Suitcliffe stay

twin wives have exchanged more

made 800 week-end visits to each
other. But during their absence
' from each other they have pined
away until now they are twin
lhadows.
"Every moment we are apart
we fret," said Mrs. Sutcliffe.
"We can't help it," said Mrs.
Robinson. "We are a part of
each other."
The doctors decided the only
cure would be for them to live
together again.

Oregon-Idaho
Pad on Trucks
Boise, Dec. 5 W The Idaho
public utilities commission has
authority to enter into an agree
ment with Oregon to pro-rate
license fees of fleets of trucks in
accordance with the mileage
traveled in each state, Attorney
General Robert E. Smylie ruled
today.
W. B. Joy, commission presi
dent, said in view of this au.
thority the commission will pre
pare a reciprocity agreement
covering the pro-rated registra
tion fee proposal and submit it
to the Oregon secretary of state
early next week.
He explained that under terms
of the proposal, fleets of trucks
would pay a percentage of their
registration fees in Oregon and
Idaho in accordance with the
mileage traveled in each state.
The mileage would be comput
ed only on interstate shipments.
Terms of the reciprocity
agreement between the two
states were reached at a confer
ence here several weeks ago. Re.
ciprocity between the states was
limited when Oregon adopted
its vehicle-mile tax two years
ago. A new schedule of registra
tion fees for trucks becomes ef
fective Jan. 1, 1950, in Oregon.
Joy said the new schedule is
closer in line with the Idaho
rates.
Joy said under terms of the
agreement Idaho truckers will
still have to pay the vehicle-mile
tax in Oregon as reciprocity is
based only on registration fees.

"I still think it was the work

Three newsmen who visited
the home last night said they

on the wall in the next room
When they placed a piece of
paper over the mirror edge, the

Mrs. Mulder, a strong and
handsome 65-year-old farm wife,
wasn't convinced, however
For one thing, she said, the
furniture in the house includ

been moved from their posi
tions for seven years.
Yet, she said, the cross never
was noticed until the week after
her husband died last Oct. 22.
