been determined although it is
believed that it is pouring out
from beneath the surface of the
earth.
The country at Hodges, which
is just south of the railroad sta
ton, has been inundated for the
last twa days and seems to be on
ly slowly disappearing. Residents
of that section are at variance
over the cause of tie water over
the pike and the adjacent coun-
try. Some state that it is an un-
derground stream coming to the
surface through the limestone
strata, while others declare that
it has found its way under the
tracks of the Southern Railway
from a small lake which lies at
the other side of the railroad fill.
Many tourists in automobiles
were in Hodges Sunday coming
from either direction. None of
these risked the passage through
the lake alone fearing that they
might Inadvertently run into the
ditch on either side of the flood
ed pike because of their unfam-
ialarity with the course of the
road. Consequently the farmers
of that neighborhood enjoyed a
profitable day pulling autoro-
biles through the watered
stretch safely to the high and
dry land at either end. The toll
was one dollar a car.
The great stretch of water de-

from Knoxville from continuing
their jourriey and caused them
to turn back. Most of the great

direction seemed bent on MAX

On the opposite side of the
Southern's fill there is a small
lake which extends for a dis

for an inlet, a small stream a.
bout two miles distant from the
point where the new lake has
sprung up. At no point does the
new lake come in contact with
the lake which is kept filled by
the small stream, the railways
fill under the tracks affording a
sufficient barrier to each. 1t is be
lieved by many that the natural
lake has foundits way beneath
the railway tracks and has fore
ed its way to the surface on the
other side although there is moth
ing apparent at present that in

der of this kind. The railway
tracks have not been impaired
in the least.
Many point out the fact that

AUSTIN RETURNS
TO WASHINGTON

Knoxville, Tenn, Mar. 90
Congressman Richard w. Aus
tin left Knoxville Sunday after
noon for Washington to attend
the special session of congress
called for the purpose of meet
ing the war situation. His early
departure was necessitated be-
cause of his membership on a
special committee of the repub-
lican party which will have in
charge the reorganization of the
house of representatives in E.
vent that that duty falls to his
party.
While in Knoxville, Represen.
tative Austin declared that he
would give his full support tC
President Wilson in the patriotic
stand which the chief executive
has taken in regard to the threat
ening situation which has con
fronted this country in the sub
marine crisis with Germany. HI
declared that the time for actor
was at hand for the American
people to vigorously assert then
selves and protest against thu
violation of their rights. I'm
doubtedly a declaration of wal
against the German empire fol-
its disregard of human rights
will be made by congress during
the special session, thinks Mr.
Austin.

PIKE INUNDATED

According to advices received

Vile visitors in the neighborhood

nearly half a mile, is under wa

flowing in the other direction by
the elevated tracks of the South

Within the past twelve months
few are the homes, comparative
ly, but have felt the blighting
touch of sadness and bereave-
ment. With the bloodiest war of
history now raging in the East,
there is scarcely home in that
erea. but has felt the presence of
the dark-robed messenger of
death. Sin in some of it's many
forms and practices, is respon-
sible for every heart ache and
each dark cloud of despair. AT
all times, in every conflict and in
every war, the wrongs of man
kind have been the one great
power behind the clouds of death
dealing agencies. The human
mind cannot conceive of the sad
ness and misery wrought by the
mighty hand of sin.
But next Sunday is Easter,
the glorious Gospel of which is
wonderfully and marvelously
comforting. And on that day,
may the entire world look to Him
and the life; he that believeth
who said: Il am the resurrection
in me, though he die, yet shall
he live"

it is likely to cause to the rail-

QUESTION
 ID BE DISCUSSED AT
 CAAUTAUQUA TONIGHT
Musical Arts Quartet Will Give Concerts At Both Af- ternoon And Evening En- tertainments; Dr. Bohn Will Lecture.

With programs ranging from lee
 utres on Taxation" and "The Land
 Question" by Lee Francis Lybarger, to a unique Japanese entertainment by
 The Ongawas and a clever series of impersonations by Sidney LandOn, the Chautauqua again was the drawing and last night MT LybaTger's lee lures were delivered in a clear and concise manner and proved to be most educational and interesting, in spite of the fact that the subjects might have appeared to some ro be devoid of action. The entertainments in the afternoon and evening by The Onga- was were unusually good and Of a type rarely seen here. Sidney Landon showed by his work last night that he well deserves to be known as The Worlds Greatest Impersonator," every character which he portrayed being an excellent likeness of the original.
 The afternoon program today will consist of a concert by the Musical Arts Quartet and a lecture, History and Progress" by Dr. Frank Bonn. The aim of the quartet is to offer the full est enjoyment of good music, rather shan the passing amusement of a musical slow" yet to present a pre- gram that sparkles with life and color. Hugh Aspinwall, first tenor, is equally at home as a monologist and his in- are an important feature of all programs. W. ?. Loveless, sec, ond tenor, makes a great hit in his monologues. Fred K. Boil man, baritone, invariably a triumph in his humorous numbers and Harry Smith, bass, is also pianist and accom- panist of the quartet. Dr. Bonn is European correspondent of the New York Times and will bring to the a first-hand story of ac- tual conditions on the warning zone.
 The quartet will give another con cert at the evening performance, fol- lowed by Montaville Flowers lecture on Guarding the Golden Gate" This lecture is a discussion of the Japanese problem constructed and vitally i'm portant lecture on the American plat form"

ARE STILL SELLING
 BAD, DIRTY MILK

Analyses of milk samples from the local dairies, made by Dr. R. B. Dur fee, city and county bacteriologist during the last week. and showing percentage of butter fat, number of bacteria per cubic centimeter and per centage of fluid, show that several dairies are still wantonly selling dir " milk. Class A, below, alone shows ehe dairies putting out satisfactory milk.
 pr. Durfee says the dairies are fac ing difficulty this week obtaining hay feed for the cows. and that several have had to put their herds on green cry. which has lent a peculiar color and flavor to the milk. One car load of hay was due in the District yester- day but tbe hay famine is far from removed.
 There is no excuse for having two million bacteria per cubic centimeter, however, Dr. Durfee says, as appears in one of the lists below. The state standard requires not less than 3.25 Dercent butter fat. and not more than 1500O0 bacteria per cubic centimeter, while the city ordinance requires not more than SS percent fluid. It is hop ed the city council will pass an ordi- nance this week fixing limits for but ter fat and bacteria.
