BLAST WRECKS
 GERMAN CITY oPPAU, THE SCENE OF TRAGEDY, RESEMBLES A BAT
 TLEFIELD. EXPLOSION KILLS 1000 FRENCH MEDICAL UNITS AID WRECKED CITY ON
 RHINE.
(Wsstern Newspaper Union New, servics.)

Mayence, Germany.-A great explO- sion at the chemical products plant of the BadiSche Anilinfabrik Company at l Oppau, on the Rhine, wrecked the town and spread death and destruc- tiOn. The number of killed is estimat- ed at from 1000 to 1,500, and the in- jCred nearly 1000.
 Oppau is scene of desOlatiOn, more than third of the houses having been destroyed, while the roofs of the others were swept off. Here also many were killed or injured.
 The explosion is attributed by some to excess pressure in two adjoining gasOmeters, this part of the works be- ing pulverized. Where the gasometers stood is now a funnel-shaped hole 13O yards wide and fOrty-five yards deep, while twisted girders and debris lie scattered about. For several hundred yards not wall is left standing.
 Ludwigshafen reports say three wOrkmens trains were buried under the wreckage and many children in- jured.
 Heartrending scenes were witnessed. At the little cemetery near Oppau numerous tOmbStOnes were hurled in various directions. There was not a door or window left intact for a radius of three miles.
 French medical units helped in the rescue work. Assistance also was rushed from neighbOring towns, and all public and private motor cars and vehicles were requisitiOned.
 The shock was felt as far as Frank fort, more than forty miles away, and many windows were broken there.
 The whole district was envelOped iH thick smoke which, together with the cutting of telegraph and telephone communication with neighbOring towns hampered the efforts of assistance.
 All the available fire brigades were rushed to the spot but the work of rescue was found by the relief parties to be exceedingly difficult.
 Rescuers who penetrated Oppau re- ported finding hundreds of dead and wounded lying in the debris. The un- injured inhabitants fled in panic when the explosion occurred.
 A late statement issued by the man. agement of the Oppau factory says that the explosion occurred in a res ervoir containing POO tons of ammOn- lum sulphate. It adds that all neces- Sary precautions had been taken so that an explosion appeared impossible.

IN THE EYES OF THE LAW
Attire Would Seem to Be Somewhat Far-Fetched.

Two girls were crossing a COney Island street. One had on a heavy, Old-fashiOned brilliantine bathing suit, with long skirt, high neck and elbow sleeves. The other was in street clothes. A policeman stopped them.
 ''YOu!" he called to the bathing beauty, you can't pass here dressed like that. Go back and put on some decent clothes !'
 The girl looked down at herself. then up at the policeman and smiled.
 "Why, look at Mame!" she ex- claimed, what about her getting by% The officer glanced at the other girl. She wore a filmy net waist, glaringly transparent, generously decollete, and a skirt ending a few inches above her knees.
 But she is dressed" said the guard ian of the law. "Now you go ald put some clothes on or you can't pass here, seeT-Judge.

The two lovers were talking over their troubles, particularly the paren- tai objections offered to their mar riage. But" said the youth, q can't for the life of me see why your fa- ther should place any obstacle in the way of our marriage.
 "Well," explained the girl after some reflection, "I think 1t stands this way: Father, you know, is always bOasting of his lineage. He is for ever saying that his ancestors were gentlemen of leisure like himself, and that you have to work for living"
 "Well," continued the suitOr. ''tell him that I don't expect to after we are married"

Do yOW discriminate 0t the dining tGbIe-Or ore yOm hOMghfleSS?

Inthousands of homes, a line" is drawn at the breakfast table. Tea or coffee is served for
 grown-ups" and Postum for children. But some parents do not discrimin- ate. Caffeine and tannin, the injurious contents of coffee and tea, seriously retard the development of the delicate nerve tissues In children.
 Consequently, instead ofrich, satisfying Postum, children are over stimu- lated by the drugs in tea and coffee; and so may grow up irritable and nervous. Any doctor can tell you that this is a great evil and should be corrected.
 Although some par- ents feel a certain justih- cation for the personal indulgence in coffee, yet the harm to them may be equally serious. It may take a little while longer for the drugs in coffee and tea. to affect

 Postum is the well. known, mea1-tirne bever- age. Like thousands of others you will like it be- cause, in flavor, it is much like a high-grads coffee.
 Do away with the dis tinction at the table. Serve delicious Postum, piping hot, to all the fam- fly. One weeks trial and it is likelythat you'll never return to tea and coffee.
