COURT HOUSE WIRES
WOULD START FIRE

But, because l am an electrician
can tell you something many farm
ers don't know. The fact is that if
| lightning would strike the electric
wires within, say mile, of the court
house, it would short circuit the wir-
ing of the building, and could not help
causing fire.
81 notice that people are discussing
What would happen in case of fire.
Other people don't think there ever
will be a fire. But you know what
happened when lightning struck the
high tension wires here a year or so
ago, and set building on fire.
"No one knows, of course, where
lightning will strike next, and we don't
have many electric storms in this
country. But it is just as true that
we don't know when lightning is go
ing to strike next.
''The wiring in the court house is
the worst botch l ever saw. 1t is just
'throwed in The wires run through
floors without insulators. And under
such conditions the simple matter of
two wires touching in a wind storm,
an electric storm, or any one of many
chance happenings in the electrical
world would short circuit and blow a
fuse and Latah countys $4,000 court
house, and absolutely invaluable rec
olds would be at the mercy of the fire
which would result.

EGGS BY PARCELS POST

Washington, Dec. 17.-Demonstra-
ting the possibilities of the parcel
post, a carton of eggs, shipped by
mail from Oklahoma City, distance
of 1900 miles, was received unin-
jured today by Postmaster General
Hitchcock. Shipments of eggs by
mail are prohibited until the parcel
post becomes operative. The postal
authorities were pleased with the
successful experiment.
The eggs, wrapped in cotton and
paper, and placed one in each of the
divisions found in the ordinary egg
carton, were merely marked "mer-
chandise' and received the usual
treatment accorded ordinary mail
matter. Eggs, however, according to
the rules promulgated for the con-
duct of the now service, must be
marked "eggs,' and naturally will be
carefully handled.
After New Years daily delivery OF
eggs to city residents from the coun-
try will be the rule, rather than the
the exception.
