DRY PARTY IS
MOISTENED BY
DAMP EVENING
Five Politicians" Who De-
fly Wet Weather, are Soaked
EnrOute to Dry Meeting.
"GUM DROP" PARTY TO
MEET ON DRY NIGHT
Ticket May be Nominated Next
Monday Eve, If it Isn't
Too Wet.

The wet weather kept the drys
away from the dry meeting, which
was called last night to consider plac-
ing a dry ticket in the field.
Five drys, who defied the elements
got wet going to and from the Pres
byterian church, in the basement OF
which the politicians assembled.
The drys who were not kept away
| by the wet weather were: Prof. H. S.
Moore, Rev. l. L. Holt, c. H. Sontag,
I. C. Tade and w. C. Ballard These
gentlemen are the main props in the
gum drop" party.
The meeti ngwas called for 7:45, and
at that hour the delegates had as
sembled, and were endeavoring to dry
cut by lowering around the big fur
mace.
In the absence Of the regular chair
man, Prof. Moore pressed himself in
to service. "The wet weather has made
it impossible for great many of the
brethren to be present." said the
chairman. 81 suggest that we adjourn
to meet again Monday evening, when
it is to be hoped we will have a dry
evening"
Before the motion was unanimously
carried, it was suggested that cards
be sent out to the members of the
"gum drop" party, urging them to be
present at the meeting Monday even
ing. "How much money have we?"
asked Brother Sontag. about two
hundred" replied Chairman Moore,
stepping bit closer to the big, warm
furnace.
"Have we that much money on
hand?" queried Brother Sontag. "Oh,
l thought you referred to the mem
bers," answered Chairman Moore
mo, we haven't that much money on
hand. l should say we had probably
as much as $50"
"Then We can have some cards
printed" volunteered Brother Sontag
Mr.. Tade, being a spencerian ex-
pert, informed the brethren that he
would save the party the expense of
having the cards printed by writing
them himself.
"Good," sang out one of the dele
gates. Mr.. Tade's offer was then
unanimously accepted, the five men,
bers voting for it with affirmative
mods.
BY the way of explanation, it was
stated by the chairman that Brothers
Stubblefield and Flentge were not
kept away by the wet weather, but by
illness. The absence of Brother Mar
tin, who had promised Chairman
Moore to be present no matter how
wet it was, had a depressing effect
upon the five drys who braved the
wet weather.
The gum drop" party may NOM
mate city ticket next Monday night,
it the weather isn't too wet.

which the enemy is TO advance star
bombs and flares are employed.
Flares have been developed from fire
works and are similar to what Is known
as red, white and blue lights used In
Fourth of July celebrations In Illuminating
streets and PARKS. Sappers are sent out
a distance before the line with flares
which arc connected with the headHuar-
tiers of the officers in command of tho
first line and can he set of at intervals
so as TO keep the battle front Illuminated
throughout the night.
Star bombs are also a development o.
modern fireworks. They are shot from
mortars up into the sky, where they VIII
maintain an intense light which illum' y
mates the surrounding country for twenty
minutes. Before one bomb dies out an
other Is shot UP In the air. and thus tho
hattie front is kept as well lighted as
the streets Of any city. There rs also a
type of star bomb which Is shot UP into
the sky like an ordinary rocket. some
of this type are used IN signaling at
night by both armies.
The Washington Engineer Barracks.
where the experiments are being con-
Quoted. has taken on the appearance OF
fireworks factory. Not only is the In
gineer Corps experimenting with every
type of light producer that 1t has been
able TO obtain from foreign countries. but
IL is testing out quite a number OF Amer
lean inventions. This work will continue
at Washington Barracks until some time
In October when all of the searchlights
and light producing devices will be ship
ped to Texas. where a battalion Of en-
g'neers will try them out in the field.
( is not proposed by the Secretary OF
War TO purchase a large quantity OF
searchlights and fireworks. but according
20 his Instructions the officers will de-
velop a type of searchl!sht and light pro-
ducins devices that can be produced by
small changes IN standard articles OF
this character that can be purchased In
the open market. In tn" event Of war
the country would depend largely upon
private concerns to furnish this class OF
equipment for the army.
