Uniuue "Liqhtninu Rods"

Before the invention of the light
ming rod various methods were employ.
ed to ward off danger from the light
ming fash, which was supposed in
the olden times to have no power to
harm those who were asleep. The
Romans believed in the power of the
skins of seals and snakes, either worn
upon their person or made into tents,
beneath which they could take refuge
until the storm was over. In remote
parts of England today the cast-off
skin Of an adder is often suspended
from the rafters of a cottage. In
France the peasantry still wind a
snake skin about their hats when they
see a thunder storm brewing.

The moment you feel a dull ache in

eating meat and get about four ounces

grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita-

Patriotic Institute.

Last Friday afternoon the 1st.
2nd, 3rd and 4th grades gave q
most excellent patriotic program
at the High school. The singing
of patriotic songs was entered
into with zest and spirit.
Gordon Hutchings took the
part of George Washington very
aptly and Ruth Foster as Betsy
Ross fairly took the audience by
surprise. This little play was
followed by a talk by Mrs. Anna
Mills, in which she told, in clean
cut language of the numerous
and significant meanings of the
various signs and colors of the
Colorado state flag. Her talk
was very interesting as was the
talk by Prof. Drake.
Mrs. Mills, as is generally
known, is patriotic instructor OF
the Relief Corps and is doing a
splendid work in instilling pat
riotism and love of country into
the minds of the young people.
The Arvada Relief Corps and
the G. A. Il. Post was well rep
resented at the exercises and
lent their aid in making them in

Item Was Misleading.

An item in last weeks Enter
prise relative to runaway accl-
dent north of town enormously
stated that Mrs. Clarence Shoop
had sustained broken ankle as
a result. The unfortunate one
was Miss Gale Falk. a sister OF
Mrs. C. V, Shoop. The item
was received late Thursday even
ing just as the forms were being
locked up for the press and was
taken as received without being
verified. Mrs. Clarence Shoop
was seen in town just before the
accident happened and this ac-
counted for her being taken for
the aunt of Marion Shoop' in
stead of her other aunt, Miss
Falk. The accident occurred on
Wadsworth avenue hill above
town. when Miss Falk and her
neice, Marion Shoop, were COM
ing to Arvada about 5 O'Clock in
the evening. The holdback strap
broke and this caused the buggy
to run onto the horse which be-
came excited and began kicking.
Miss Marion was thrown out and
Miss Falk jumped out, breaking
the two large bones in her. right
ankle in three places. The foot
and ankle were so badly crushed
that it was deemed necessary to
have an X-ray photograph made
and an operation performed If
necessary.
Accordingly the injured young
lady was taken Saturday to Den
yer, where DR.. Childs made the
X-ray examination and found the
injuries as described. However,
he did not think an operation
necessary, and Miss Falk was
brought back to the home of her
sister, Mrs. G. V. Shoop, north
of town. The injury is very
severe and painful, however, and
the patient will be confined to
her room for many weeks. Her
home is in Kansas City, but she
has been spending the winter
withher sister.

The above has been a mooted

has resulted in unpleasant mis-

For the benefit of those who

The laws governing the postal
service are uniform. Conse-
quently, the same ruling that

pointed legal holidays, also ex-
tempts rural mail carriers from

ball team went to Idaho Springs.
The girls team, although two Of

sons, did not go, played a fast
game and won by the large score

played a good game but went
down to defeat before the on
slaught Of the Springs warriors.
The final score was IL to ~.
The teams were treated fine, dur
ing their all-night stay and the
boys say that they can enjoy los
ing to such people.
Saturday night the first team
went to Golden, and the moment
they reached the hall, they were
politely informed that they were
going to get cleaned" one way
or the other. In other words, if
Golden couldn't beat Arvada at
basket ball the said Golden play
ers would turn in and give said
Arvada players a good trouncing.
Il was a rough game from the
outset. When Golden saw that
Arvada W as a match for her on
the basket ball lloor, they pro-
ceeded with the other method Of
cleaning" incidentally, they got
the worst of it in both methods.
