than twenty three years has labored in
this field for the advancement of city

AUTOS HIT AIR POCKET.
Driven Into Surcharged Area During
Dust Storm, They Quit.

Delphos. Kan. March 27.-During
the heavy dust storm here this week
a peculiar phenomenon was noticed.
Seven cars were mys1eriously stopped
on the way from the Meridian road
into Delphos.
Investigation showed that the area
where the cars stopped was heavily
charged with electricity and that to
touch the metal part of the car would
produce an electric shock. The phe-
nomenon lasted several hours There
was no thunder or rain and for the
most part the sky was clear.

the American liner Philadelphia hopes
he will pick out the keel Of soma

always do hate 10 hit whales. It's
so irritating.
Peering over the side, the passen
ors discerned the form of a whale
about 80 feet long, smile of con-
tentmeuf wreathlng his features aa
he pacidly scraped his back along
the keel. He stayed there until ne
had rubber off al the barnacles and
there was nothing left 10 give n'm

tired presumably in search OF ship
with sandpaper bottom.
