A very sad accident occurred on
the farm of Lad. Turnovec, 2
miles east of Geddes. Monday at
six O'Clock in the afternoon. His
daughters, Minnie 4 years and 4
months of age and Bessie 2 years
of age were PLAYING in the yard
and evidently turned their atten-
tion to wagon box set against a
building on it's edge. 1t appears
that the children both stepped on
the edge of the box, overbalanc-
ing it and it turned over on them
Little Bessie remained under the
box unhurt, but the sharp and
heavy edge struck Minnie on the
neck breaking it and killing her
instantly. Upon the cries of Bes-

Taboo.

When anything is forbidden. or its
exclusion Is. ordered, English-speaking
people sometimes say 1t Is "taboo."
The word Is derived from a custom
once common in Polynesia and New
Zealand. It signifies something set
apart or prohibited because Of its be-
ing either sacred or accursed. The
system originated in a superstitious
dread of the invisible powers Of evil.

Outstanding Incidents.
The outstanding incidents OF their
record include the transporting of
the American marines to Chateau
Thierry, where the tide was turned
against the Germans. and the hauling
OF six and one-half-ton tanks to the
scene of action on five-ton trucks.
The Mailet Reserve is believed to be
the first organization to accomplish
this latter feat.
1t is estimated that this unit of
Americans carried to the front 6ob.ttc
shells. more than was used by the
entire American expeditionary force.

Il have found one radical defect in
the construction of our houses that
absolutely precludes the possibility OF
cooling them to any great degree. You
will readily understand the difficulty
when you remember that cold air Is
heavier than warm air. You can take
ii bucket of cold air, for example. ana
carry it about III the summertime and
not spill a drop. but if you make a
hole in the bottom of your bucket.
then, of course. the cold air will all
run out.
Il began to think that it might be
possible to apply the bucket principle
to at least one room in my Washing
ton home, and thus secure a place of
retreat in the summertime. 1t
seemed to be advisable to close up
all openings near the bottom of the
room to prevent the escape of cold
air and open the windows at the top
to let out the heated air of the room.
Now, it SO happens that | have i'll
III" basement of my house a swim
ming tank. and it occurred to me
that since this tank holds water it
should certainly hold cold air; SO |
turned the water out to study the
situation. The tank seemed to be
damp and the sides felt wet and
Shiny.
