and before the torch was applied he
confessed to the killing and assaulting
of the girl. He also implicated two
other negroes. The crowd found De-

third negro is caught when there will
be a double lynching
This lynching today caused a vir-

burning the negro
AS Parsons burned the mother of
the little girl, his victim, yelled: LET
him suffer as he made my little girl
suffer-"
An excited negro shouted: We're
through ;let us join the Germans"
The police rescued him from the
crowd and gave him into the custody
of the federal authorities.
Dan Armstrong, the third negro, was
located this afternoon barricaded
with other negroes in a shack. The
mob leaders rushed to Memphis for
reinforcements. A battle with the
negroes is expected The mob is in
creased to 5000 this afternoon.

CRANKS FLOCK TO
 NATIONAL CAPITAL

MCr ally unbalanced ny the excite ment and horror of the European war, men and women are Hooking tO Wash ington with plans to end the conflict to make war impossible, to solve the problem of the submarine, the Zeppe- lin and the gas which is the terror Of the men in the trenches.
 Since the first of June, the police of the national capital have been obliged to arrest eighty-siX persons, majority of them men, who came to Washing ton to tell the president how to win the war with Germany. Of this number thirty five were sent to the Washing ton asylum hospital and fifty four to St. Elizabeths. both institutions for the case of the insane.
 Inspector Lynn. who examines all persons detained by the police on the charge of insanity. said that through out the country mentally defective men and women are causing more trouble than thieves and crooks. He adde4that the first thing a fanatic wants to do when he becomes convinced that war is hell' and that it should be stopped, is to board a train and come to N ash ington.
 Many of these irrationals have de- signs upon the life of President Wilson, and others upon members of his cab inet and other high officials, a poten- tial danger which the Washington po- lice and secret service men are con- stantly on the alert to anticipate and prevent.

WATCH YOUR AIR
 JUD|C|OUS USE
 GOES LONC WAY

The car owner Of today is fast com Ing to the realization that the mileage he gets from his tires depends upon the treatment they are given. Mileage is built into tires at the factory by scien- tific methods. The user can get every inch of that in- built mileage out of the equipment by the pro"er care and use of it.
 It has been aptly said that the penu- matic tire is of the most paradoxical construction in the entire field of auto mobile engineering. It must be very resilient yet withstand punishment worthy of armor plate.
 Two tender substances, rubber and cotton fabric must be so blended and built up that they vii! resist the air pressure within, the weight of the au- tOmobile and it's load without the thrust of the motor, the transverse strains on turns and the blows of thousands of obstacles And upon the successful construction of the tire has depended the entire success of the au- tomObile
 There is a very definite relation be- tween the air pressure With'" the tres and the load on them The heavier weight or reduced air pressure causes more deflection of the tires, giving
 
 creases the action on the sidewalks This adds to the comfort of the ride as more of the road vibration is ab- soTbed ny the tires.
 The judicious use of air will go a long way toward giving the tire user the maximum mileage. Because the resiliency and long wearing qualities of tire depend almost as much upon proper inflation as they do upon the rubber and fabric. Too much air will cause excessive vibration, traction slippage and loss of power; too little will bring on excess friction between various parts of the tire and cause them to break up.
 Demountable and quick detachable rims make it possible to change tires very quickly but even if not so equip ped. it is wise to stop and give the tires attention when needed.
 Don't make the mistake of guessing at the inflation from appearapces or

MANY ANIMALS
 ABLE T0 REASON

Without speaking of trained animals, accomplishing acts foreign to their na- ture. I could fill a hundred pages with observations demonstrating that ami mals are capable of observing, of re- flecting, and of acting in accord with the result of their observations, said writer in a French scientific review.
 Let a few examples suffice:
 In q small town near Paris female dog had her foot broken, and since their was no veterinary in the place she was taken to a doctor, who per formed the necessary operation. Some time afterWard another dog, having met with the same accident, the first patient conducted him to a physician. Shall l tell of my own dog, Dalila, go- ing to hunt a lump of sugar for her mother and afterward going to seek another for herself Are these acts which could have been foreseen?
 As for suicide, it exists among ami mals l have been a witness of that Of sparrow captured, caged and un- able to accustom itself to captivity. It committed suicide under difficult con- ditions, with courage and strength of will of which few men would be capable.
 And how shall we regard the follow ing observation, made, not in the world of the higher animals, but in that of insects, so different from ours? It was in the Forest of Fontainebleau. On a stone half a dozen ants gathered about a bit of food were regaling themselves with ayidity.

 The house was built in 1907, but the humorist did not find the happiness he expected there. His daughter. Jean, who had lived with him for many yeaEs, was drowned in her bath at StOrmfield Christmas eve, 1909, as a result of an epileptic stroke and Mr Clemens was still suffering from grief over her death when he died April 21 following.

The best way to inflate is to pump up the tires hard and then reduce the press ure until they do not cause excessive vibration, then record the pressure and see that it is maintained thereafter.

BOILING PUNT
 PROPOSED TEST
 GOOD GASOLINE

In an article dealing with the Bu- reau of Mines tentative gasoline spec ifications. Oildom, for March, 1917, says Tn these specifications gravity is omitted entirely as basis for test, volatility being the basic property for determining the grade and usefulness of gasoline.
 volatility is just another term for boiling points, said MT. J. E. BalslI,y. district sales manager Standard oil company, in discussing these pro- posed specifications.
 Motor fuel efficiency depends on the boiling points of volatility of the gasoline, just as the Bureau of Mines indicates. These boiling points must be in continuous chain, an unbroken, gradually rising series-low boiling points for easy starting, medium boil ing points for quick and smooth ac- celeration, high boiling points for power and mileage.
 Needless to say, gasoline having this correct series of boiling points cannot be made by mixing or blend ing. There are too many intermediate points to be provided to make the unbroken chain On the other hand, in straight refinery gasoline, the con- tinuous chain of boiling points is de- vejoped naturally during distillation." the group; all the ants fled except the one that had not been frightened be- fore She turned suddenly toward me- remained motionless for few mo- ments. erecting herself on her legs and meracing me with her mandibles; then she rushed upon me with all her speed,

ANTONIO SALA, CELLET,
OF COURT OF SPAIN
VIII Appear in Recital at Coneordia
College Auditorium Tuesday Even.
inu, Feb, ~.

Antonio Sala, cellist of the Court of
Spain, will appear in recital at Con-
cordia college next Tuesday evening,
Feb. "a.
Although only II, this remarkable
young artist has already become
'cellist at the Spanish Court, a COW
eted honor that is sought by many
but bestowed on few. That Sala Is
exempt from military service and able
to make the present American tour is
due to the intervention Of King
Alfonso. Sala's reputation is not con-
fined to Spain. In Paris he has been
declared by competent authorities to
be oneo fthe finest violin-cellists in
the world. His name on the concert
bills Of that cosmopolitan center al
ways guarantees a full concert hall.
So great is his popularity that In 1911
he was chosen as q soloist at the
concert.
The first impression created by Sala
on the concert platform Is favorable
on account of his good looks, his
grace. his extraordinary composure.
he is perfectly master of
his instrument. He has wonderful tone
and perfection of technique. In spite
OF his warm Latin temperament, his
playing is classically beautiful ana
artistically sound. His pianissino is
delicious and carries to the further
most limits of the most spacious con-
cert hall.
True genius always expresses itself
early. Sala began the study Of his
instrument at the age Of 5, and at 3
was ready for his first concert. At IL
he played for the first time at the
court of Madrid and year later q
long tour of Spain. When only 1S he
won the first prize at the Conserva-
toire at Barcelona, from which he is q
graduate. 1855 IS
In 1912 Sala made flve months
tour of South America, achieving a
brilliant success that is reflected in
his press notices. This is his first trip
to the United States. and the music
lovers OF this section are greatly
favored in having the opportunity to
hear this, great artist.
