II ONE TO
NIRMESS WEEK
WHEN THE BARN BURNS
fncendiary Origin Does Not Always
Prove Out as Reasonable

fncendiary Origin Does Not Always
Prove Out as Reasonable
The Observer has been always in
cIined to run counter to public opin-
ion in the case of the burned barn
that it was the work of an incen-
diary" The barn fire occurs with too
much regularity and is too closely
confined to a certain season to make
the incendiary theory hold good in
the average case. And again the
motive is missing. What appears to
us plausible theory of barn burn
ine has been advanced by Fire Mar
shall Buckley of the State of Ohio.
He seems to have devoted much
thought and investigation to the sub
iect of burned barns and has come
to the concIusion-and conclusion
that the scientific world will be like
ly to back-that sweating hay is re-
sponsible for the majority of barns
destroyed by fire Under certain
conditions when hay is packed IN a
barn it sweats, becomes heated and
bursts into flame. Buckley explains
that the cells in the hay continue
to live and to breathe for some time
after it is cut, and they, alone, in a
closely-packed, unventilated NOV,
heat the hay to temperature of
1872 degrees. To this is added the
heat from the microscopic spores of
fungi which continue to grow in
blades of hay during its fermenta-
ton, the heat developed by the fer
mentation of the hay seeds aud the
heat of the sun on the roof. These
three causes, says Mr. Buckley, may
heat unventi1ated hay to tempera-
ture of 212 degrees, where water
boils. Then the hay begins to char,
the charcoal so formed absorbs oxy-
gen and the mas grows still hotter.
The heat perhaps reaches 265, de-
erees ard then the hay bursts into
flame. :.
The barn is burned from heated
hay in another way. also. Sweating
hay draws lightning.' Water is a
good conductor of electricity. The
moisture trcn sweating hay rises
RAPIDLY because It is heated. forming
over the bar funnel-shaped shaft
of vapor reaching up to the thunder
cloud, constituting a fairly good con-
ductor. 1t is sweating hay and not
incendiarism that is responsible for
the destruction of barns.-Charlotte

Meeting Of City Council

refused. X
h Oscar Mofitt wanted an alley
which had been open for years out
lately closed by a neighbor proper
ty- owner, reopened, Council decided
twas not in its Jurisdiction and sue-
gested that he employ council ard
see what could be done.
S E. D. Steele appeared for A. V.
sSapp, A. E. Tate and others in re-
gard to sewering Richardson street.
Board expressed a willingness to
take the matter up after the street
work was done, some time after the
first of the year. Labor is so scarce
that it was a hard problem to get
'other needed work done.
Supt. Mari asked that his selec-
ton of Miss Nan B. Williams of
.Kittrell and Miss Florence Pitts of
alabama, as school teachers, be con-
.frned, which was done.
n Matte of taking over the sewer
age and water in Rowland Park de-
ferred as council did not think it ad-
visable at this time.
A. E. Tate called attention to con-
dition of Broad street and asked that
something definite be done Coun-
Gil advised him that a representa-
tive was now in Washington cons
ferring with the Southern Railway
as to paying it's part of the ex
pense. zszSas
+ Chief Engineer Tapiin thought |
that Richardson street leading TO the
cemetery should be straightened out
some toSavcjd a bad turn, by run
ming the road along wheredhe old
Burns saWnill stood and making
grass pIotont of the triangle. A. E.
Tate heartily agreed and offered that
pSfe ofthe land wanted, gratis -Ac-
cepted and the city manager, en-
gineer and Mr.. Tate requested to
get the matter in shape.
F. N. Tate referred to Centennial
avenue and asked that relief be
given travellers. Council advised
Mr.. Tate that the rocmac people
had large crusher on the way aud
plenty of material and they def
nitely promised completion within
barring bad weather.
Chief A. B. Honey arose to state
that the Seagraves truck had gone
to the bad and that the Southside
and city were in bad fix and in
surance rates likely to be raised
with this fire protection gone. Coun-
ell instructed Chief Horney and
Manager Murphy to get busy at
once and see what could be done.
Most probably the very latest fire
truck will be bought, as the old Sea-
graves truck was no good and never
had been.
The council should see that the
5eagraves people pay for unloading
his truck on the city which cost
over $1,000.

A TOAST TO THE FLAG,

Here's to the red of it
There's not a thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it,
In all the spread of it,
From foot to head
But heroes bIed for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it red.
Here's to the white of it
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels the might of it,
Through day and night??
Womanhood's care for it.
Make manhood dare for it,
Puritys prayer for it,
Keep it so white.
Here's to the blue of it
Heavens view of it
Star-spangled hue of it,
Honestys due of it,
Constant and true.
Here's to the whole of it,
Stars, stripes and pole of it,
Here's to the soul of it,
Red, white and blue.

Prof. II. II. Albert was born in
Lancaster county, and was nearly
SO years old. He had been a sufferer
many years from rheumatism, al
though in childhood he was stricken
with scarlet fever that left the lower
limbs in such a crippled condition
that he was compelled to go about on
crutches. He was reared on a farm
and followed that pursuit until he
began to teach school. His first ap-
pointment as a teacher was in the
schools of East Donegal township in
the fall of 1853, at what is known
as the Franklin school.
In 1859 he was married to Miss
Hester Herr, of Millersville, whom he
met while attending school at that
place. He was the father of four sons
and four daughters.

SERVICE FLAG

That Number of Employees of
The Telegraph Printing Co.

A beautiful service flag with eigh-
teen stars occupies a proud position
on the front of the Harrisburg Tele-
graph building. The big emblem,
the body of which is red, with stars
of blue on a center of white, fiaunts
itself in the breeze as mute testi-
mony to the fact that, at this time,
eighteen young men fro the Tele-
graph Printing Company have given
themselves to fight Americas battle
for democracy.
Previouc to the entry of this coun-
try into the conflict which has shat
tered Europe, the Telegraph was rep
resented through its employees on the
Mexican border. Then came the
clarion call from President Wilson,
in his address of April 2, 1917: For
the rights and liberties of small ma
tions, for a universal dominion of
right by such a concert of free peo-
pies as shall bring peace and safety
to all nations and make the world
at last free" In response to this
call practically every department of
the big publishing house responded.

Workman With Shotgun

Zeppelin Falling From Air
BY Associated Press

Bourbonne Les Bains, France, Oct.
22.-The Las, the only Zeppelin to
fall into the hands of the allies in
tact, struck it's colors, to the shotgun
of local workman named Boiteux.
Lieutenant Lafargue of the "croco-
die" escadrille, winged the Zeppe-
lin, forcing 1t to land.
About $50 o'clock Saturday morn
ing BoiteuX was walking in a field
with a dog and gun when he heard
the sound of motors. He looked up
and saw the Zeppelin surrounded by
airplanes which were peppering il.
The monster was flying very slow and
very low. Suddenly the bows dipped
into a clump of trees and the air
ship came to n standstill subsiding
gently across narrow raVine in the

longer be used that the lifeboats
were lowered.
The captain was the last one to
leave the doomed vessel. There were
tears in his eyes when his lifeboat
drew alongside our submarine. They
were tears of sorrow for the loss of
so fine a steamship. l told him that
L regretted that 1t was not in my
power rather to reward than to i'm
prison him for the splendid fight he
had made.
Fritz has also become favorably
impressed with the Britisher. They
had long dispute in my cabin dur
ing the evening meal, which I had
invited the captain to share with us,
after / had obtained his word of
honor that he would not attempt to
do anything of n hostile nature.
Fritz showed the universality of his
accomplishments as we'll as-what
shall 1 call it?-his Prussian AFRO
gance, in this discussion, but con-
tending that the English are not
thorough even in regard to their
knowledge of the English language
The captain sought, as politely as
possible, to conceal his annoyance
At SuCH Sn assumption on the part
of one to whom English after all is
foreign. But in the end he conceded
after all Fritz was right
The question was in regard to the
use of the verbs 'shall'' and will"
There is hopeless confusion not
only among educated speakers in
England and America" said Fritz,
but even among your grammarians
concerning those two words"
II think not" said the captain,
''the verb will is used whenever the
act depends upon the volition of the
person performing the act. I have
yet to find any educated Englishman
who does not know that the verb is
corrugated I will, thou shalt, he
shall, &C. and, on the other hand,
1 shall, thou wilt. he will, &c."
Correct" said Fritz, "they all
conjugate it that way, but when Ii
comes to a practical application
they all fail most ANONYMOUSLY. For
instance, captain, if you were going
to dine in restaurant, and the mat
ter were entirely a question of your
own convenience. without any coer-
cion or even request on the mart of
another, would you say I will dine
or I shall dine at such and such a
place tonight"
Il would say L shall dine re-

marian would gainsay the correct
