CONSERVATION At
MANY EXPLOSIONS

WINCHESTER, VA, March 22.-
No state or local law can be found
by the Winchester authorities where
by oil companies can be criminally
prosecuted for selling to local retail
ers kerosene containing a large per
cent of gasolene, but it was learned
that 1t is not unlikely a number Of
suits will be instituted in the courts
here by the relatives OF eleven per-
sons who have been burned to death
by coal oil explosions. all Of which
occurred within two weeks. while
there are twenty or more others who
still feel the effects of burns arising
from the same source.
Six samples Of oil, gathered from
retailers by the police recently were
analysed by the State chemist, y. w.
Magruder at Richmond. ana IN mis-
official report 1t develops thst each
sample contained gasolene, One sam
Pile in particular ignited at tempe
nature of AZ degrees, and 1t is de-
cared by the chemist to be gaso-
lene oil, and not a kerosene oil. It
is not believed the refners mixed gas
oi.ne with coal oil purposely, princi-
pally because the former commands
almost double the price OF kerosene,
but that the oil sold here recently
contained a lare percentage OF gas
olene Is not denied.
Some of. the families Of the explo-
sion victims are poor and well-nign
dependent upon others for assistance.
and their cases have aroused much
sympathy. Some OF the lawyers, II
Is said. have indicated their willing
ness to represent the sorely stricken
families in civil suits without COM
pensation. and now that no law can
be found by which oil companies. can

NOTHING NEW SAYS
SECRETARY BRYAN

WASHINGTON. March 22.-Belief
in the ability of the federals to hold
the city Of Torreon has been some
what shaken here by the rapidly with
which villa has driven back the fed
eral outposts in the vicinity OF the
besieged city, Military observers have
been predicting that the rebel ad-
vance to Torreon would be vigorously
resisted by the federal forces before
Torreon, but these prophecies have
already failed Of fulflllmen:.
Secretary Bryan said tonight that
the day had brought no new devel-
opments in the Mexican situation SO
far as this government is concerned,
He did not go to his Office at all to-
day.

which the first three are occupations
that are manual in nature. while the
remaining three groups are mental.
The comparison shows the per cent OF

seventy-eight cities studied. These re-

THE LORDS PRAYER.
Editor News:

Editor News:
Noting that "Uncle Tom asks
"Church Member to give her idea
of the Lords prayer, would like tc
express few thoughts on the subject,
if our kind editor will give me space.
First, wonder how many of u:
really pray this beautiful prayer with
the spirit and understanding Do We
who call ourselves christians, realize
the true meaning of the Lords Prayer
as we repeat It'll What beautiful ad.
dress the first words are and then we
ask for the kingdom of our Lord to
come and for His will to be done on
earth. What a glorious time it will be
when the present ruler of this sinful
world shall be bound and our great
Prince of Peace shall take unto him.
self His power aud reign. How very
earnestly we all shall pray for that
most wonderful time when the taber.
nacle of God shall be with men and
there shall be no more sorrow, pain OF
death for all the wicked shall be de.
stroyed from among the people and
nothing shall hurt or destroy in all
His holy kingdom
Then we come to the next words
"Give us this day our daily bread. "
am not sure as to the meaning of
these words, but whether it means
natural bread or spiritual food, we
do we'll to look to the giver of all good
for help in every time of need
Now, friends. the next few words
cover so much that shall not attempt
to outline the many beautiful
thoughts connected with them, but
would like to ask how many of us do
forgive those who trespass against us
If we do not forgive have we any right
to ask our Heavenly Father to forgive
us.
Now, we have the words: ''Lead
us not into temptation. We should
know that we are not going to be
tempted more than we are able to
stand, so let us take our stand
against the enemy and fight the good
fight that we may have a more album
dant entrance into life.
'Uncle Tom" says he does not
know who the Pharasee is, but l
think he gives very good definition
of him. He is paid-up church
member. He stands up and thanks his
God that he is not like others. He is
both prosperous and happy. He is in
good standing with both the world and
the nominal church. What more could
he wish? And yet the poor, despised
publican who humbles himself before
God is more justified than he. What
beautiful lesson of humility. Should
we not try more and more each day to
walk in the footprints of the meek
and lowly Jesus, and pay more heed
to the sure word of prophesy as q
light shining in dark place until
the day dawns.
