Lightning Destroys
Tanks In Healdton Field

Lightning yesterday afternoon
fired one of the $1,000 barrel tanks
of the Carter Oil Company on the
Foster farm. near Wilson, and three
l,6OO-barrel tanks belonging to the
HSmon interests on the Rockland
lease in section q 4s3w. At about
10 o'clock last night one or more OF
the burning tanks boiled over and
threw flames to height that made
them plainly visible in Ardmore, and
the fire department made 4 run TO
the west end of McLiSh avenue, fol-
lowed BY scores OF automobiles. To
observers coming out on McLish
avenue the reflection from the
flames were so bright that they
seemed TO be in the outskirts OF the
city, and the fact that it was more
than twenty miles away was only
apparent after reaching the top OF
the hill al the end OF the McLish
pavement.

WASHINGTON. Sept 26.-The

ment 10 the federal constitution ap-
preached its climax today when the

The amendment was approved by
the house Jan. 10. If a two-thirds
vote is cast for it in the senate, it
will go Immediately TO the legis-
latures of the states for ratification

become a part OF the basic law.
Plans are Flexible.
All predictions today were that
the amendment would pass. but it
was recognized by close observers
that there are many chances for a
Slip-up The plans of both anti and
pro-suffragists were flexible. Know
ing that one or two votes probably
will decide the question, both sides
were ready 10 seize upon the slight
est advantage. Plans that have been
maturing for weeks may undergo
radical changes at any minute, ac-
cording TO the way the situation
shifts
