International Typewriter Re-
cords Broken by New
York Operator
AT ANNUAL BUSINESS SHOW
Miss Margaret o. Owen Sue
ceeds Florence
Wilson
AT ANNUAL BUSINESS SHOW

Winning the $1,000 silver trophy cup
at the n business show in New
York last night manipulating a type
writer at the rate of 1875 net words a
minute, Miss Margaret o. Owen be-
came the new worlds champion typist.
She succeeds Florence E. Wilson, who,
at the International Typewriter con
tests last year., made a record Of III
net words a minute.
No contest held since typewriters
were invented has attracted such at
tention as this one of 1918. It has
been looked forward to for months by
the business public, which is so much
interested in the speed of typeWriters
and by the typewriter fraternity
now a great army. Even the baseball
world series games did not in New
York attract the attention among fans
that this contest did among those who
make their living with the typewriter.
TypeWriters of all makes were repre-
sented in the contest.
The $1,000 silver trophy cup now be-
comes for a year the property of the
champion typist, but the typewriter
company upon whose machine the
record was established becomes its
custodian. For the past seven years
IAN LUG "OOu 1ypS-
writer Co. has been the possessor of
the cup.
There have been but four worlds
champion typists, Miss Margaret o.
Owen being the fourth. The original
champion typist was Rose L. Fritz.
who made a record Of e~ighty-two
words a minute. The next was H. O.
Blaisdell at 100 words . minute, and
the third, Florence E. Wilson at III
words a minute The new champions
work represents a constant develop
ment of typewriters and typewriting.
In making her record she established
a speed of eleven strokes a second,
Which a few years ago was never
dreamed of in typewriter operation.
j. N. Kimball, who is known
throughout the world as a shorthand
and typewriter expert, had charge of
the contest with a corps of experts,
n each operator was penalized five
words for every error.
The contests are based, not alone
on speed, but on the accuracy and
stability of the machine. Matter
strange to the operator is always used.

The Pensacola journal., 1913-04-21

An electrical, wind and rain storm
swept over Pensacola, yesterday after
noon, and in addition to doing consid-
cradle damage, caused much anxiety
throughout the city for more than two
hours.
Several houses were struck by light
ming in various portions of the city,
but were confined principally to East
Hill, over which the storm seemed to
break. A colored church, a large frame
structure, several blocks north of the
orphans home. was set on fire by
lightning and being out of the FIRE
limits, was completely destroyed
The Y. NJ. c. A. felt the force of the
shock, but the building suffered no
damage. Lightning entered the build
ing on some wires and shattered al
most every electric light. II happened
just at the time that the Strangers
club was being called to order, and
almost broke up the meeting of that
association.
The truck house of company No 3.
at the corner of Ninth avenue and
Strong streets, was struck by a bolt
of lightning. The only damage was the
bursting of all of the water and gas
pipes. The company was just leaving
the house to answer a fire alarm, and
the men were compelled to stop for
few moments and extinguish flames
that had started.
The residence at $40 East Cervantes
street, occupied by w J. Hamm, as
sistant road superviseCef the L. and
n railroad, was struck by lightning
at 7:10 o'clock, igniting the roof, but
little or no damage resulted, as the
fire department responded promptly
and quickly extinguished the flames.
A few moments later another call
was sent in from the corner Of Ninth
avenue and Cervantes, the residence
of Monroe Campbell having been struck
by lightning, but before the flames had
gained any headway the fremen were
on the scene. The loss is immaterial.
Assistant Fire Chief Riera saw light
ming strike the tank in the rear Of
the building of the Jennings Naval
Stores Co, on East Main street, but
apparently no damage was done. A
number of other places were struck,
but the damage in each instance was
slight.
Storm Broke Suddenly.
The storm broke suddenly and many
excursionists and pleasure-seekers
were drenched before they could reach
a place of refuge. The rain came
down in torrents, followed by an cleo
tricaI display that caused the more
timid to seek the safest place.
For more than an hour a portion OF
Palafox street was flooded, the water
in one or two instances being up to
the doors of several business houses
located south of Romano street. The
vivid flashes of lightning were closely
followed by roars of thunder which
caused much CONSERVATION throughout
the entire city.
A number of electric wires in differ
ent sections of the city were put out
Of commission. and for a time several
street cars were forced to suspend
operation. This was only temporary.

Several boats returning from the
island with excursionists were caught

rough passage back to the city, nett,

Situation In
Brussels Still
Very Serious
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Brussels, April 2o.-In political cir
cles it is now believed that the gov
ernment will accept the conciliatory
motion of the Liberal leaders outlin-
ing a plan Of election law revision.
This motion will be offered when
the chamber of deputies reconvenes
on Tuesday. The motion provides that
the committee appointed to consider
the reform franchise system evolves
a good plan. Immediate revision of
the election laws will be considered
as the adoption of this motion would
end the great Socialist strike now
paralyzing the business industries of
Belgium. Present indications are that
the strike has not reached its full
strength The situation will be grave
if the governnaentf efuses to accept
the Compromise. Railroad traffic has
decreased So per cent. since the open
ing of the strike. Good order is still
maintained by the strikers.
