POTTER ISSUES WARNING
ON DANGERS ATTENDING
LIGHTS IN BATHROOMS

Fire Chief Potter this afternoon
issued another warning to the
householders of Hattiesburg re-
garding the danger of having cleo
trio light switches in bathrooms
located too near the bath tub. A
professor of the A. G. M. College in
Starkville was electrocuted last
night when he stood in a partly
filled bath tub and turned on an
electric light. There was a leak
in the lire, and his death is believ-
ed to have been instantaneous.
"a person standing on a ground
ed metallic substance and turning
on or off brass socket is certain
to receive a great shock, and often
lis killed outright, if the high ten
sion current, for any reason has
gotten into the building." Chief
Potter says. "The hazard from
this source is entirely to life, and
I can't conceive of an electrician
Installing a light in damp or
grounded place without providing
every safeguard necessary. The
safest method is to install the
light completely out of reach, and
to use a switch located far away
from the tub, for turning on or off
the light"

Another Poet
Is NOW AlOOse

Now, fellows and fellowesses. ius
see what you have done! and on one
OF the hottest days of the summer
This marks the debut of poet who
can get his stuff in print of one Mr.
Champlin Moffett. You may fire
Gridley, when you are ready:
Dear Sir, and honored, much respect
ed friend:
No mercenary bard his homage
pays,
With honest pride, scorn each self
ish end;
But in defense of boys by voice
raise.
Within your columns some days bacl,
saw,
Complaining words, at which my
honest cheek,
With mild suffusing blush did flame
and ah,
The justice in my heart bade me to
speak.
Some lass, it seems, her lovers con-
duct blamed,
And in your honest sheet her com.
plant aired;
In wishing to be kissed she had been
shamed,
And to the town her outraged heart
she barred.
Far be it from yours truly, sir, to try
To argue with a lassie fair, or fill
Her growing mind with doubts; for
truth say, my
Much humber mind has not half
her skill.
But this my point: l grant her boys
are fast;
But ask her to this question please
TO list:
Her answering accents in pure candor
cast:
Has she never cen wished to be
kissed?
If perfect truth her answer bears,
'tis "yes;"
And then l say, how can she blame
the lad,
When he, in an attempt to fill her
quest,
Desires a kiss, when kissing's but
a fad?

Libau were destroyed, the only excep-
