FIRE DISTINGUISHING CHEMICALS
For some time past the Martinsburg
Fire Department has been consider
ing the ACCESSIBILITY Of purchasing
new chemical fire extiDguishers. 1t
was decided that a test should
be first made to see if the extinguish-
ers would give satisfaction. The test
was made near the plant of the Kill.
bourn Knitting Cmpany by com
mittee of the Fire Department.
The test was made with what is call
ed fire extinguisher. It is closed
vessel, to which is attached a gum
hose. 1t Is filed with the fluid, and
when turned in a horizontal posi-
ton the fluid is forced through the
hose with such pressure that it can
be thrown twenty feet. To test this
machine barrel was filled with
straw and saturated with coal oil and
Tar. 1t was ignited, and few Sec
onds later the fire extinguisher was
put in use. 1t had the desired effect,
apparently smothering the fire in a
minute. The Fire Department will
endeavor to interest the Council in
the use of the chemicals, with o
view of having one purchased for
each reel.

was not church member, but her
whole life Was a beautiful SER

content shown in her eyes. No one
ever heard any thing but truth from
her lips. She was strictly moral
and upright and never lost friend.
The placid smile of sweet content
fingered on her still lovely features
hours after death. The husband, al
most frantic with grief, and the sor-
row-stricken children received all
the consolation sympathetic friends
could offer, but the wound caused by
devoted mothers death never heels,
because her place can never be filled
by another.
