I cannot see what good the intro

cain, could do him as far as the col
lection of the notes was concerned. l
don't blame the Insurance companies
to not want to have anything more to
do with the Kellys as they owe the
Kellys two thousand dollars which
they agreed to in writing to pay as
shown in the copy of the final settle
ment given in the first part of this
article.
So what T. G. Kelly gets out of the
insurance swindle is the payment of
the notes given for premiums for the
policies with the reasonable attorneys
fees added, and not one cent did she
receive of the loss, nor she never seen
any one of the insurance drafts that
was sent to her in payment Of the

Poisonous Gas in Garages.

Warning is given that special care
should be taken in private garages to
provide adequate ventilation as a
safeguard against carbon mono1ide
poisoning, such as cost the life of a
clergyman in this city the other day
The gas that is formed by imperfect
combustion is swift and stealthy
poison. 1t cannot be detected, for it
is without odor. The victim is sud.
denly suffocated and falls in stupor.
The gas, being heavy, aceumulates ON
the floor. SO that person falling
prone cannot escape inhaling deadly
quantities. Only by immediate rescue
after the first inhalation is death
avoidable. The engine of an auto
mobile should not be started within
a tightly closed place. A window, or,
better still, a door opening to the
aoor, should be opened before begin.
ming operations. Several deaths have
occurred from this cause here. Many
are being reported from different
parts Of the country. The warning
afforded by Mr.. Riedel's death should
suffice for Washington As a safeguard
against repeated losses Of life here
from this cause.

Faesimiles of the Constitution and
the Declaration have been made and
exhibited in different parts of the
country from time to time, but there
is NO such inspiration in these repre-.
sentations as in the originals them
selves. For the signatures on the pre-
eious documents are those traced by
pens held in the hands Of the men
whose names have become EMBEDDED
in the history Of the nation. There
is no doubt that the teachers and
pupils who see these historical relics
will be better Americans for the ex-
perience.
Washington possesses many eduea-
tional advantages. and this special
display Of the great state papers is
one Of them. Though the opportunity
is rarely offered. the fact that the

A good deal depends on the record
Congress makes in the coming four
months. That record will enter into
the Chicago platform. and thereby
become factor in the presidential
campaign. If the performances are
good, and capable of persuasive pres
cntation from the stump, the repub-
lieans will be certain to profit at the
polls. The voters will reward fair
redemption of the promises that re-
publicans made in the campaign Of
1918, when they asked for legislative
