Death by lightning is rare in this

taking colonist has gathered a mass
of facts that dispel some common mis-
takes about lightning.
In the first place. he has found that
lightning does not necessarily burn
those whom 1t strikes. even when they
have metal objects about them. He
has found instances where men and
animals have been struck without the
metallic objects they carried boins
melted in the least.
There does not seem to be any con.
nection between the metal and the
marks left by the lightning. And in
many cases no marks at all are left.

1t is comforting to know that these

struck by lightning is about as likely
to happen as falling heir to half q

SALINAS MOTOR RUN.
Forty Cars Started in 1OO-NIile En-
durance Test Today.

Salina, Kan, Sept. SU.-Encouraged
by the excitement attending the re-
cent Kansas City Star Cup run of a
fe wdays ago the autom obile men OF
this city have made great prepare
tions for the run which is to be made
by the members of the Salina Auto
mobile club today. It is expected
that about forty cars will be in the
race. The first prize will be a loving
cup. The distance of the run will be
about 100 miles to be covered in six
and one-half hours. The cars were
checked out at $50 this morning.
The morning run was through the
towns of Mentor, Gypsum, Solomon
and New Cambria.
This afternoon the first car was
checked out at o'clock, and will be
expected to check in at 5. This run
will be through the towns of Linds-
borg, Bridgeport, Assaria and Mentor.
The route selected is over the best
roads to be found in Central Kansas,
and Secretary George D. Adams of
the automobile club who has been
over the route this week, announces
that the roads are in perfect condi-
ton.
The mayors of the different towns
have been communicated with regard
to the speed to be maintained through
the streets of the smaller towns and
without exception the officials in
structed the drivers to go through
the towns just as fast as their ma
chimes will take them.

OFFICERS WORRIED.
Retired Army and Naval Men Want
Occupation.

washington, Sept. 30.-Army and
navy officers on the retired list are
worrying over the fate which seems to
await their associates soon after they
become inactive. 1t may be said that
superstition has seized them, and l.
would not be surprising should an agi-
tation be started which will result in
congress investigating the situation to
determine whether it would not be bet
ter to assign to technical work retired
army and navy officers where civilian
clerks and younger officers are now
employed, that the adnirals and the
generals may live out the allotted three
score and ten years.
In other business and professional
lines men pass that age and remain
strong and active, but more than half
the officers retired from the army or
navy die before reachine it.
Since January 1, five rear admirals on
the retired list, seven brigadier generals
and one lieutenant general have died.
In the navy officers are retired at g.
years of age and in the army at 81.
After service of forty or more years in
either the army or navy employment in
other lines after retirement is virtually
impossible and these men in the full
yigor of their mentality and in sound
physical condition, find themselves
without an adequate occupation to en-
ploy their minds. 1t is said this ac-
counts for so many dying soon after re-
firing. Forty or more years of activity
unfit a man for a life of idleness.
