LIGHTS TO BURN
IF AIRCRAFT CONE
RUMoR THAT LONDON WOULD
BE DARkENED SAID TO
BE ERRONEOUS

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The report that
the electric light works in London
had received Instructions to turn off
all current, public and private, on
the approach of hostile aircraft, is
denied in a statement given to the
trade journal Electrical Engineering.
The statement says:
"As a matter of fact our instruc.
tions are exactly the opposite. We
must maintain the supply Of current,
and keep the lights going. Theaters
and hospitals, for instance, would be
in serious predicament il their cur.
rent was suddenly stopped. If thea.
ters were suddenly plunged into dark
ness panic would inevitably ensue
Hospitals would be in a terrible
plight, and there would be loss OF
life in every operating room.
Moreover, if our electric light
works were to switch off their cur.
rent, large quantities of steam would
have to be Immediately blown off into
the atmosphere, and the noise would
probably startle the inhabitants OF
the darkened town far more than the
explosion OF dropping bombs More
over, the rising steam would offer an
admirable target for the Zeppelin: a
bomb might be dropped on the Bank
side electricity works, and if the
range finding was inaccurate. it would
perhaps hit st. Paul's cathedral
Blackfriars bridge, or the Central
telephone exchange"

MOB DESTROYS A
GERMAN CLUB HOUSE
FIRST SERIOUS OUTBREAK IN
AUSTRALASIA SINCE WAR
BEGAN


MELBOURNE, Feb. 19.-The only
outbreak Of any consequence in Aus
tralia directed against Germans since
the war began occurred recently when
a mob burned down the German club
at Broken Hill, large mining city.
The trouble originated through the
apparently insane act of two Turks,
who, conceiving 1t to be their duty to
attack Britons because Great Britain
was at war with Turkey, armed them
selves with rifles, and, in hiding
along the state railway line, fired
into train of picnickers, killing four
and wounding seven persons. The
Turks were finally shot to death by
police and militiamen, but the after
math of the tragedies was a gather
ing of turbulent Britons in the for
eign quarter of Broken Hill that
night, loud in their charge that the
attack upon the picnic crowd was at
tributable to the Germans. The mob
marched into the German club,
smashed all the windows in the build
ing with stones and saturating the
house with oil. they set the place on
fire

Conversely. last year shows compar..

The 22,747 weddings Of bachelors
with maids in 1914 represent a per
cent Of only 71.3 against the average
Of 1928 for 1909 to 1913.
1t appears also from these statis-
tics that in 1914 there were 3770 mar
riages, which were the first for only
the grooms, as compared with only
brides. The excess of first marriages
of grooms only over first marriages Of
brides only was 1856, or so per cent
in 1914. The number of bachelors
marrying widows or Divorces is thus
greater by one-half than the number
of single women marrying widowed
or divorced men. The corresponding
proportionate excess was only about
two-ifths in 1910 to 1913 and about
one-third in 1906 to 1903.
Moreover. in 1914, as in previous
years, only ten of the whole fifty
eight counties of California showed
even slight exceptions TO the well es-
tablished rule that many more we'd
dinss occur between bachelors and
widows or Divorces than between
single maids and widowers or divorc
ed men.-News.
