ELEVEN KILLED. IN
HUGE TANK BLAST

Boston, Jan. 16.-Eleven persons are
known to have been killed and about
80 injured by the explosion of huge
tank of molasses on the water front
of Commercial street, near Keany
Square.
Eight bodies were removed from the
wreckage and three men died at the
Relief hospital. Most Of those in
jured suffered only from bruises.
The cause Of the explosion has not
been definitely determined. Walter l..
Wedger, explosion expert Of the state
police, said he was not prepared to
give a final opinion but that it seemed
probable to him that it resulted from
gas fumes generated by fermenting
molasses within the tank, which was
not full. The molasses had been kept
warm by steam heat from q plant at
some distance from the tank.
The only bodies identified were
those of fireman and two residents
of tenements in the vicinity. A large
number of the injured were taken to
the Relief hospital.
The tank was owned by the Purity
Dfstilling company, subsidiary Of
the United States Industrial Alcohol
company.
Little Warning Given.
A dull, muffled roar gave but an
fnstant's warning before the top OF
the tank was blown into the air. The
circular wall broke into two great
Segments of sheet iron which we're
kmpelled in opposite directions. Two
million gallons Of molasses rushed in
= mighty stream over the streets and
converted into sticky mass, the
wreckage of several small buildings
which had been smashed by the force
of the explosion.
The tank was located short dis.
lance from the Charlestown bridge
where the Charles river empties into
the harbor. s:
The greatest mortality apparently
occurred in one of the city buildings
nearby, where q score of municipal
employees were eating their lunch. The
building was demolished. The other
city building which had an Office on
the ground floor and tenement above
was similarly torn from its founda.
tions and two women were severely
injured.
One of the sections of the tank wall
fell on a fire house, crushing It,
Three f1remen, two Of whom had been

WARM FIGHT OVER BAY RUM
Peopi. of St. Thomas Greatly Aoitated
as to Whether II Is Good as
Beverage

The little island of st. Thomas,
which the United States purchased
from the Danish government. is chiefly
famous for the production of bay rum.
The bay leaves are raised on the ad-
tacent island of St. John and the
run is made in St. Thomas.
One Of the first happenings which
came to st. Thomas. after its transfer
TO the sovereignty of the United
States. was prohibition. Along with
prohibition came a greatly increased
sale Of bay rum, and about the same
time it was widely rumored that a
number of persons had been made i'll
by using bay rum internally.
One manufacturer of bay rum was
made so indignant by this charge that
he had his product analyzed by chem
ist and published the results in LOCAL
newspaper. proving conclusively that
bay rum is just as harmless when ap-
piled to the lining of the stomach as
when used on the scalp.
The editor of the opposing paper
took is ue with him, not on the ground
that bay rum was poisonous. but con-
tending that to drink this famous prod
uct was a violation of the most an
cient traditions of the island. Bay rum
had been produced on the island for
200 years, 1t had never been drunk be-
fore and even the most burning thirst
was no justification for wasting bay
rum by swallowing 1t.
But this conservative seems to be
getting the worst of the argument.
Most of the St Thomasians find 40
per cent bay rum a satisfactory SUBJ
stitute for five per cent beer.
A Porto Rico paper observes bay
rum boo-ns where booze lies buried
"Niksah," in Indianapolis Star.

money one day." Timmy finished up.

$1,000 bills himself. and they were

Too bad" Kate smiled, and forgot
all about the story until one day as
she took down her own cloak the
judges old gray alpaca coat took an
other tumble from its adjacent peg.
and as she lifted 1t she felt the stiff
crumple of new bills in the inner
pocket. There were three OF them
nice, bright, brand-new bank notes. She
. looked down at them half sadly and
walked slowly over to the judges lit
tie inner room and laid them before
him
There they are" she said gently.

How the devil did you ever find
them:" demanded the judge joyously.
Il came to find them, Judge Dexter.

edge of his desk. Bob told me all
about it after we became engaged, and
how hopeless 1t was trying TO make
you know they must be right under
your very nose around here some
place. He couldn't come and look for

much?"

its afternoon lull of quiet He laid
the three bills back in her hand.

judge. just climbing down from his
husky little roadster. heard her, and
bristled instantly.
Kate stood unfiinchingiy until he had
finished telling her his general and
conclusive opinion of women workers,
and when he had finished she smiled
at him. 1t was no propitiatory smile; no
wheedling smile. 1t was comradely
and sympathetic.
You'd better try me, Judge" she
said calmly Help is scarce every
where. and it isn't a very desirable
place, you know. Mr.. Layton says
you're pretty hard to suit It's long
way back TO town. and came out last
night I've taken room up at Mrs.
Ryan's for a week. and If you don't
mind I'll just go in and try it any
way"
Before the judge had recovered his
presence of mind she was already in
the office and had her hat OF. He
watched her warily. Rollins. the as
sistant bookkeeper, received her
friendly greeting with a grunt. taking
his cue from the boss"
Old Man Adams, the purchasing
agent, gave her one long. appraising
look over his glasses, smiled and went
on opening mail. Sam Doty, the judges
own special messenger and long-suffer-
ing office slave, looked scared when
she took the judges old alpaca coat of
Its accustomed hook and hung her own
cloak there.
Yet she stayed. Day after day
passed, and while the Judge was
grouchy and ungracious to her. she
kept her place and made good. Gradu-
ally she lifted burdens from his shoul-
ders, looking after the filing. the per-
sonal mail. the telephone orders. classi-
flying. smoothing. organizing. until even
Adams would cough and beam approval
on her. Pretty likely young woman"
he ventured one day. and the judge
grinned back appreciatively.
Exception always proves the rule.
Adams" he said. Don't spoil her"
She had been there nearly two
months, and in that time Timmy had
gossiped with her and so had his
| mother. She WAS told of the shadow
that hung over the factory; how Bob
Dexter had come home from college
and had been in the way. The judge
had frankly not wanted to be bothered
with him. He wanted to run his own
business.
Time enough when I pass along.

need you down here"

John Brown-Jones is queer.
Want proof? Well. he planted fine
field of corn, but 1t was unfenced and
all of the neighbors' stock had free
access to 1t. .Brown-Jones turned in
and built a woven-wire fence around
that field. horse high, bull strong and
pig tight. But-and here is the proof
of his queerness-he left a ten-foot
gap with no sort of fence across it at
all. The cows and horses pushed at
that fence and the hogs nosed around
it without result-for a few days.
Then. as anybody might have known.
they found the gap and the Brown
Jones corn went fiooy."
Queer isn't the name for il, you
say? Certainly not. The fellow was
a full-fledged fool-only there wasn't
any such fellow. That story is sort
of parable written to illustrate what
the people of the United States are
doing every day with regard to the
meat they eat. Against diseased and
unwholesome meat they have built
the fence, high and strong and close
woven, but they have left hig open
gap through which any kind of dis
ease or uncleanness may enter the
home and play havoc.

cattle if he wants to, and allow his

of convenience. Federal meat inspec-
ton applies only to plants whose prod
ucts cross state lines-plants that

part of their products in other states.
Taking it the country over. about %
per cent of the beef consumed comes
from plants that sell wholly within

long as there is % per cent-or 1 per

sale in your town, you cannot feel GER
tain that the meat your children eat
is disease-free and wholesome.
How About Your Town.
What is to be done about it. you
say? Well, 20 see what is being done
about it. The state might correct it
by the right sort of meat inspection
law, or the town might do it by the
right sort of meat inspection ordi-
nance properly enforced. Do you know
| whether your town does that or not?
Among the cities of 5000 or more
population, less than one-third main
| tain any kind of meat inspection.
Some of that one-third have a serv-
ice called meat inspection that does
not amount to inspection at all. Just
to illustrate:
The United States department of
agriculture, not long ago. sent out
questionable to mayors concerning
municipal meat inspection. Here are
two questions and the gist of the an
swers received from one city official:
Question-"Does your city maintain
municipal meat inspection"
Answer-"You bet your life this city
maintains municipal meat inspection"
Question-"By whom is the inspec-
tion performed?"
Answer-"By the city plumbing In
spector."
Just for your own satisfaction. you
might see what kind Of meat inspec-
tion, II any. your town has. Then. IL
it has none, or If it has not the right
kind, 1t would be to your interest to
see what can be done about it.
A Mothers Three Reasons.
A woman recently appeared before
the city council of San Diego. Cal.
and asked to be heard on the matter
of local meat regulations. She told
the council there were three reasons
why she wanted to see nothing but
government inspected meat in San
children to the council. She explained
that Uncle Sam demands federal in
spected meat for his soldiers and
sailors, and that her children are just
as important to her as Uncle Sans
are to him.
