Barnesly's Absence
Alarming Relatives

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 24-Relat1ves
of young Willard Barnesly, the Olney,
Nd, farmer unaccountably missing for
the past ten days, are now beginning
to feel apprehensive as to the cause OF
his continued absence.
When the young man first disappeared
his father and other relatives believed
that he was voluntarily remaining away
from home, and that he would return
In a few days. Appeals to the Mont
gomery county authorities and to the
Washington police have alike failed to
locate him, and his parents are prepar-
ing 10 send broadcast notices by which
they hope to locate him.
Leaving q picnic at Olney about 1890
o'clock at night, he started in his buggy
toward his home, and that was the last
his friends saw of him. The following
morning his horse was found grazing Ia
a field near Forest Glen and his buggy
and harness were alongside the road
near the field.
The young man had often expressed
a desire to go West, and many believe
that he has followed that inclina ton.
The day Of his disappearance he had
trouble with his uncle, Charles Barnes
ly, whose farm near Oakdale he man
aged, and is said to have told a man on
the farm that he was going away.
When he left he had about $50 with
him, but he had on deposit in a bank
at Sandy Spring $500 or $500. He also
owned several horses and other prop
srty, which he left on the farm Of his
uncle with no instructions as to their
disposition or care.
1t is believed that after turning his
horse into the field at Forest Glen the
young man went into Washington by
an electric car. Barnesly is about
twenty-three years old and unmarried.
Miss Virginia Dangerfield Hodges,
daughter of Mrs. William Veirs, Of
this vicinity, and Orlando Wendell
Phillips, of Glasford, Ill, were married
Saturday afternoon at the home of the
brides sister, Mrs. Alfred Ray, short
distance from Rockville, by the Rev.
Philip B. Mcclure, pastor Of st. Mary's
Catholic Church, Rockville. Only few
relatives and close friends Of the couple
witnessed the ceremony.

BALL TOSSERS IN

MIGHTY COMBAT
Republicans Leaderless, and

Because the Republicans lack a leader

Democratic hosts to victory as great

last year-both on the ball park and at
the polls.

awe Kendall of Iowa said the same
thing. so the players were without a
leader. 1t may take several days to
round the Republican players up, unless
a Congressional Jim McAleer takes a
firm hold.
Captain Webb. of the Democratic
tribe, says that they are ready. but
somebody forgot to ask President
Noyes, of the Washington club, II the
grounds would be available today. At
a belated hour Saturday, Mr.. Noyes
was called up. No. the grounds would
not be ready Monday. The workmen

President Noyes, and the Congressional

DR.. BELL, WIZARD
OF TELEPHONE, HAS
ANTDOTE FOR HEAT
Alright Floor, Pipe, Ice
q. Box, All That Is
3. Necessary.

An alright floor, a piece Of pipe, an
ice box we'll stocked with ice. and an
electric fan, is all that is necessary to
avoid the oppressive heat, according to
Dr. Alexander Graham Bell inventor Of
the telephone and of many devices used
in the modern flying machines.
These must, of course, be properly
used, but the erection of the apparatus
is so simple that DR.. Bell believes any
one can install the system in his own
home.
For some time the well-known in
ventor has worked on the problem of
cooling rooms, not only in offices, but
in residences. An old swimming tank
on the ground floor of his home, 1881
Connecticut avenue, gave him the idea
which subsequently proved success.
II is well known that cool air is heavier
than hot air, and so seeks the lowest
level place. This is the secret of the
new cooling device.
Alright Floors.
By a simple deduction DR.. Bell con-
cluded that If the floors of rooms were
air tight instead of the ceiling a room
could be kept cool indefinitely by con-
tinually forcing cool air through a pipe
which would lead to a high point in the
room. The cool air would spread about
the ceiling and gradually fall to the
bottom, where it would have to remain,
owing to the air tight floor.
The temperature of the room In which
the experiment was made never rose
above g. degrees and was dry and COM
Portable. An ice box was placed in an
adjoining room from which a pipe was
run through the petition into TIE study.
Directly facing the pipe was the cleo
tr:c far which was placed to blow on
the ice.
Will Abolish Heat.
The cool air passed through the pipe
Dropping tie moisture on the way and
was forced into the room. While Doc
tor Rell is not satisfied as yet with
the or Ide form of the apparatus, David
Fairchild 4 son -in-law, said this morn
inr THAT the inventor was satisfied that
h.. had discovered the rudiments for an
invention which would finally do away
with oppressive heat indoors.
The invention is not pateutable."
said M. Fairchild.' and anyone IS
previlcged to use it. AS the apparatus
now stands II would cost probably 81
a day to run II. but l presume that
some daY this cost will be greatly re-
duced. When Doctor Bell left Wash

Doctor Fell left Washington for
