After forenoon Of very sultry wealth
er and the passing over of numerous
thunder gusts. heavy clouds began to ap-
pear in the northwest Wednesday after
noon about 4 o'clock, their blackness
amazing everyone looking at them.
Soon rain began to fall in torrents and
with the rain came few hail stone. In
Thurmont only few hail fell, not enough
to scarcely attract attention. Neither
was the wind and lightning severe.
To the north of Thurmont and from
Payne's Hill to Mt. St, Mary's hail fell
in great quantities and of considerable
size. Along the State Road it is said
the water washed piles of hail 10 inches
deep. Damage to crops, fruit and pro-
perty was very severe. Reports from
other parts of Frederick county indicate
the loss very heavy.
An automobile party was caught IN
the storm near Mt. st. Mary's, large
hail stone passing through the top Of the
car.
Mr.. John O'Toole of this place was in
Waynesboro in his automobile and shelf
cred under tree. His windshield was
broken and the top of the car riddled
with hail stone.
At Catoctin Furnace it is reported hail
the size of an egg fell. The cloud evi-
dently divided, part passing to the north
and part to the south of Thurmont.
Reports from the Baltimore papers
this morning state as follows:
The American says "the tail end of the
tornado which wrought such havoc out in
Missouri Tuesday night hit Maryland late
yesterday. Baltimore city and county,
Govans, Owings Mills, Reisterstown, hit
by the severest hail and electrical storm
that has occurred in many years.
Washington county was bombarded by
the most disastrous hail storm in its his
tory late Wednesday afternoon, hail as
large as eggs falling. Hundreds OF homes
were wrecked. crops ruined and other
damage done. The loss is estimated at
from $500, 900 to $3.50, 900.

Railroad residing in Thurmont and work.
ing in Hagerstown state that not a win
dow was left in the w. M. depot at Ha-
gerstown on the railroad side. The big
brewery building suffered like fate.
Passenger coaches standing in the Ha-
gerstown yard had the windows broken
on the north side, some of these cars
passing through Thurmont late in the
evening. The Courthouse, Dagmar Ho-
tel, Hamilton House and other places in
the heart of Hagerstown looked like fire.

THURMONT FREDERICK COUNTY, MD, THURSDAY, JUNE Z,
Young Men Fight Wars.

Our army which will fight in
France will be made up Of much old
er men than fought the Civil War.
l recently gave the ages of Union
soldiers-only $4,000 went into the
army when they were past 26 years
of age, while more than 100000
were but 81 years old, or younger.
Truly a boys war!
The average age of all who fought
in the Civil War was somewhat un-
der % years.
This new army's units will all
range from 81 to 81, or an average
of about 26 years. However, exemp-
ton of married men will tend to re-
lease a larger percentage of those
above 26. than under it, and so re-
duce the average for the whole army.
Deadly as the new war machinery
is, it is certain that Americans who
fight in Europe will be alive in the
year 1000.
Daniel Bakeman, the last man of
the Revolution, lived sc years after
peace came, while Adam Kronk, the
last survivor of the War of 1912,
was alive 80 years afterward. Both
were New York State men.
There are about 500 Mexican War
veterans still living and drawing
pensions after SO years of peace.-Ex.

Auto War Tax Fixed.
Movie Theatres and Cheap
Cigars Exempted.

Exemption of popular price NOV
ing picture theatres from amusement
taxes and the levying of new Fed
eral license tax on automobile owners
ranging from $3.50 to $25, with re-
ductions for cars used a year or more,
and estimated to yield Sal 900, 600
year, was agreed upon last week by
the Senate Finance Committee in
continuing revision of the House War
Tax bill.
Cheap cigars, or those selling un-
der $4,000 per thousand were also
exempted.
Under the committees amendment
all moving picture theatres charging
less than 25 cents admission would
escape the tax of one cent on each
dime paid imposed by the House
measure. 1t was decided to retain
the House plan Of taxing other places
where admission is charged.
Treasury experts estimate that
there are 100000 owners of auto
mobiles subject to the $3.50 tax,
100000 subject to the $40 levy, L.
$4,000 in the SIS dollar class and
231 900 subject to the $40 rate. The
license taxes payable by motor ve-
hicle owners direct, take the place Of
the House tax Of 5 per cent. upon
manufacturers of such vehicles.
The committees section would
provide:
That on and after July 1, 1917
special taxes shall be, and hereby
are, imposed annually on owners of
automobiles and motorcycles, the
rate of tax to be based on each auto

- UAM, the American outpost,
lies in the mid Pacific 5,397
miles from San Francisco.
The island, about as large as
greater New York, is 1906 miles due
east of Manila.
Magellan, in 1921, discovered the
group of islands of which Guam is the
most important, and named them the
LadrOnes, or RObber islands, because
Of the natives thieving prOpensities.
Later, sometime In the seventeenth
century, they We're renamed Marianas
Islands in honor of Queen Maria Ana
de Austria, who established the first
school in Guam. This name has been
accepted by the navy department but
the group is still familiarly called the
LadrOnes, writes Verne Simkins in Sea
Power.
Guam is classified as a naval reser-
walton and the cOmmandant of the sta.
tiOn Is also governor Of the island, re-
ceiving his commission as such from
the president.
During the war with Spain, Capt.
Henry Glass, commanding the cruiser
Charleston, took the island. When, in
1885, the Charleston sailed into the
harbor Of Agana and opened fire upon
the fort, the Spanish governor at once
surrendered, explaining his nonresist-
ance by the statement that he had no
powder; mot even enough to return a
salute"
The government was created by ex-
ecutive order of December 90, 1898.
People of Mixed Blood.
When the group was found by Eu-
ropeans, the natives were branch
Of the Malay race called Chamorros,
but now few are Of pure blood. The
admixture of Spanish. Filipino jap
anese and Chinese blood Is plainly
indicated. Early navigators described
the ChamOrrOs as tall, corpulent, ac-
tive and strong, and, like other South
Sea Islanders, much at home In and
on the water. Both men and women
tinged their hair a reddish yellow and
stained their teeth. Their clothing was
scanty and generally made Of grass.
When Magellan arrived, the islands
