BARKING DOG
SAVES LIVES

ELKTON, Md, June 4.-The loud
barking of several dogs which awak-
ened them, probably saved Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Mitchell, Of East Main
street, from being asphyxiated When
they awoke they found their room
filled with gas, and both we're gasp
ing for breath.
Sunday night. while one Of the Jets
in their room was turned on, there
was a break in the machinery at the
local gas works, and all the gas
lights in town went out. The open
jet was not shut off, and Sunday
night the gas was again turned on,
which resulted in MIR. and Mrs.
Mitchell having a very narrow es-
cape from being asphyxiated. Both
we're in a serious condition for some
time.

DIARY OF FATHER TIME
At Lucknow, in India, there was
a determined case of attempted SUIT
tee, few days ago. AS the body of
Brahmin was being removed to the
burning CHAT, his wife, dressed in her
best clothes and jewels, set fire to
her clothing, her friends eXtinguished
the flames, but she declared her de-
termination to die on her husbands
pyre. Eventually she was removed
to jail
The practice of burning the living
widow on the funeral pyre of her
husband has been in vogue in some
parts of India for thousands Of years.
It was not until the end of the eigh-
teenth century that the British au-
thorities took up the question, and in
1929, despite fierce opposition, law
was passed which declared that all
who abetted suttee were guilty of
"culpabIe homicide"
The manner of the sacrifice diff
fered according to the district. In
South India the widow jumped or
was forced into the fire-pit; in West
ern India she was placed in a grass
hut, supporting the corpse's head
with her right hand while her left
held the torch; in the Ganges valley
she lay down upon the already light
ed pile; while in Nepal she was placed
beside the corpse, and when the pile
was lighted the two bodies were held
in place by long poles pressed down
by relatives.

ROAD TESTS FOR AUTOS
ARE THINGS OF THE PAST
Modern Machines Are Perfectly
Manufacturer and Ready to Use

1t was years ago that a prominent
automobile factory caused talk by
announcing that its cars would re-
ceive final road test only after hav-
ing been entirely completed and
made ready for shipment, that test
being but to determine minor points
with regard to the assembly.
Less testing is being done by the
factories all over the country, and
fewer cars are seen in tests upon
the streets and country roads. Au-
tomobiles have come to that point of
clock-like perfection where the long
distance and speed tests are not
found necessary as of old.
In many factories today the tests
are about the same, as cars are put
together perfectly and with a system
that requires no extensive work on
the part of the testing department.
A low-priced runabout which is
within most everyone's reach, sim
pie in construction yet effective in
every part, and that can be operated
by any one without regard to expe-
rience as a machinist, is now pre-
scented in the New Metz '22.' The
Metz Company. of Waltham, Mass,
through their local agent, S. J. Shoe
maker, expect to be represented at
our local show after the closing of
their demonstration at the New York
show.

AT the coming Garden show" he
continued, "one of the chief factors
