KING EDWARD NOW
REPORTED VERY ILL

(By United Press Leased Wlre)
LONDON, April 7.-Advices
today from Biarritz state that
King Edward continues to suf-
fer from the influenza. Cores
pondents from most of the Lon
don papers declare that the op-
timistic bulletins regarding the
kings condition, which are be-
ing given out by his majesty's
physicians, are not borne out by
facts.
The correspondents assert
that the king looks aged, walks
heavily, as though tired and
sick, and that the bracing air Of
Biarritz Is really doing him
more harm than good.

OFFICIALS
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

LEWISTON. Idaho, April T.
What promises to be the bitterest
fight in municipal politics in the
history of Lewiston and which may
result in recall election being in
stituted against Mayor Benjamin
Tweedy, was started here when
the mayor demanded the resigna-
tion of Chief of Police Masters, un-
der threat of suspension If the re-
quested resignation was not forth
coming. Masters refuses to retire
and in the event of his being sus-
pended, a deadlock will ensue over
the appointment of his successor,
as four of the six councilmen have
gone on record in opposition to the
mayors action.
Mayor Tweedy has intimated
that Masters Is not in sympathy
with the reform policy to which
the mayor is pledged; and for this
reason he believes the interests of
the town would be best served by
the chiefs removal.

PAGAN DANCES SURVIVE
IN ENGLISH VILLAGES
Curious Old World Ceremonial
Performed in Cornwall

At Helston in Cornwall, May S each
year there is celebrated the Furry or
Flora dance, a curious old world cere-
monial the origin of which is in dis
pute. says a London paper.
Some connect it with the worship of
the goddess Flora. others derive the
bear or carry flowers, as the dancers
do on this occasion; while yet others
associate it with the furry (foray)
which is made in the country for bushes
and garlands.
Probably it is merely survival of
the ancient British custom of welcom-
ing the advent of summer with dance
and song, as seen in the old English
May day festivities, in all of which
garlands and crowns of flowers, as well
as music, play prominent part.
At Helston the dance is performed to
a sprightly tune, said to be used also
in Wales and in Brittany; and on Flora
day both doors of all houses are kept
wide open in order that the strings of
dancers may pass through them at
obey this old custom would be tanta-
mount to inviting misfortune. and Ill
luck all through the ensuing year.
1t is significant that during the six
teenth century the custom prevailed not
at Helston alone but all over England
of celebrating a similar flower dance
early in May. This was undoubtedly a
relic of the Roman Floralia or floral
games, which began April % and lasted
for from three to seven days.

MILE A MINUTE MADE BY
MILL ENGINE FLY WHEELS
Operators Carelessness May
Cause Dangerous Explosion

The energy stored in a fywheel on
the engines in a steel mill is about
equivalent to an average sized passen-
ger locomotive, running at the rate of
60 miles an hour. If an engine is al
lowed to speed up, additional energy is
impaired to the fiywheel until it bursts
from centrifugal force, unloosing a
power which might be likened, rough
~, to locomotive and train of sew
eral cars plowing their way through
the mill at the rate of "a mile a min
Ute This terrific force is controlled
and held in check by the governor .
which is usually an arrangement of two
f1yballs revolving at speed proper
tionate to that of the engine, and auto
matica1ly reducing or increasing the
steam supply. Certain parts of the
governor may break and cause the en-
gine to race and if the engineer can
not get a valve closed quickly enough
the f1ywheel will explode"
There is a safety attachment on the
governor, which is intended to stop the
engine in such emergencies, but en-
gineers frequently allow this attach
ment to become ineffective. On a single
inspection trip this was the case with
10 out of 16 engines observed. In one
instance roll of waste was placed un-
der the governor brackets-in another
a wood block was used-in others the

the man in charge simply said he had

One gray haired engineer of perhaps so
years to whom 1 spoke said: Il have
been running this engine now for six
years and have never had an accident a
and yet on further questioning he ad-
mitted that such an accident might
occur at any time, due to that insig-
nificant handful of waste, and that
probably he would be the first man in
jured.s Each of the men running these
engines realized what might result
from their interfering with the action
of the governor, yet they all took the
chance, because it never had happened
in their experience.
To improve matters we are having
counter weighted brackets placed un-
der the engine governors, so that they
will drop out automatically when the
engine rs running. without any atten-
tion from the engineer, and a written
report Is made weekly which shows
whether this safety feature is being
used or not AS an additional safe
guard, practically all the large engines
in this company have been equipped
with automatic stop valves having a
speed limit attachment. These are In
tended to shut the engine down auto
matically when it exceeds a certain
safe speed, and the valve may be closed
also by pushing an electric button in

HOW EXPENSES GROW

At the hearing on the demands for

meat only once a week, we use imita-
ton butter and we do not eat any
eggs
Another said: -On everything YOU
buy, if the price has not been raised
the quantity has been cut down. The
price is the same for soda biscuits, but
there are two biscuits fewer in the
package. 1 used to allow $50 a month

and 1 can not afford to wear rubbers
any more.
These items from family budgets
were supplemented by stories of home
life that made a great impression. One
mother swore that her children scarce
ly ever saw their father because he
had to work from II to Is hours a day.
