Spot on Sun Causes
Wire Line Paralysis

New York, May 15.--Electrical
influence exerted by aurora bore
ais or northern lights, believed to
be caused by an unusually large sun
spot, continued today to play havoc
with telegraph traffic throughout the
United States, especially in the east.
Beginning Friday night, telegraph
wire chiefs reported that this natu-
raj phenomena had injected extra
voltage into their wires, causing
what are known as "earth currents"
and interrupting traffic. The same
condition continued throughout the
day Saturday and became increasing
" intense Saturday night, causing
one of the severest disturbances Of
its kind in 80 years.
For more than an hour before mid
night. Saturday virtually every tele-
graph wire leading from New York
was out of condition. Ocean cables
also were slightly affected. Curl
ously, however, the disturbance that
tied up the land wires seemed to
strengthen the signals Of wireless
apparatus, which were unusually
clear during the period of the heav-
lest land wire disturbance.

BOARD sAYs-sToP IT!

1t has long been custom in Ores
den to sweep paper, trash and rub
bish from stores, law offices, shops,
and SO on, into the street. No one
has meant to be unclean or untldy.
II has been a sort of heritage
handed down from generation to
generation, each fellow doing it be-
cause the other fellow does, and the
other fellow because his predecessor
did tall without giving 1t a
thought of how bad it ooks to the
visitor.
But the board of mayor and alder
men say-stop 1t!
There is an ordinance here pro-
hibiting this practice and the board
has notified Marshal Dick MAIDEN
that the ordinance must be enforced,
Maiden is going to see that 1T IS
You must provide box or barrel az

Third District Citi-

While in Martin last Saturday and
in conversation with some of the
good citizens of the Third district,
we found that they are justly proud
of their good roads and are singing
the praises of their new road COM
missioner, Mr.. L. E. Lacewell, for
mer deputy sheriff.
Lacewell, a thoroughly compe-
tent and enthusiastic good roads
man, has organized his forces and
the result is that every road in the
distri t has been put in apple-pie
order, The citizens are going to
show their appreciation, too, by
keeping these well rounded and
drained rbads dragged all during
the year. Mr.. Lacewell deserves to

us this-Mr. Mckenzie is too modest
to even hint that he wants some help
to finance our band-but we get it
in an indirect way that he has spent
considerable sum of money on the
band.
This money has been spent by him
in way that is for the advancement
Of the band. A good band is com
munity interest. But this communi-
ty has failed to do its part toward
these young men who are striving to
keep the band alive. Mr.. Mckenzie
gets a deal of pleasure out OF the
band, tits true, but hee also gives it
world of his lime and, we hear,
has dug deep into his pocket to fl
nance it.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, it isn't
fair that one man get all the glory
The balance of us want to share
with him. How many of you viii

appreciation is not manifest in the

Reference is had to the Dresden

some financial aid. For months and
months Mr.. w. H. Mckenzie, purely
and solely through patriotism, has
been nursing the band. He has Ia
bored with these boys and has train

ARMY MASKS NOT
FIT FOR MINE WORK
Nature of Coal Gas and War Gas
Different

Washington, -. G., Jan. I'm
plicit faith i'm an instrument that
saved the lives of thousands of
American soldiers in France is daily
endangcring the lives OF scores Of
men in industrial life in the United
Statsc. Dr. IT, q. Cottrell, director
of the Bureau Of IIincs said today. in
another warning against the use of
army gas MASKS in mine explosions
and mine fires. Despite repeated
warming from the department, miners
and persons engaged in mine rescue
work persist in using army gas
masks, DR.. Cottrcll said, although the
devices are OF practically no use in
the average mine disaster.
Reviewing number Of cases re-
Gently whore men attempting mine
rescue work with any type gas masks
had been overcome ana had died.
Dr. Cottrcll said:
These fatalities illustrate the fu-
tility of the belief quite prevalent
throughout the country that this
army type of gas mask will protect
,hc Wearer against any type OF gases
under all conditions. The fact is that
the army gas mask was Il very excel
lent device for the purpose intended
that of protecting our soldiers from
the d2Oolical gases used in warfare.
The mask gave the mcr Sucn absolute
protection that when they returned
from France they were 50 Cnthusils-
t. over its performance they were
willing TO endorse the Gas mask for
all purposes of protection against
poisonous gases. These men, it
would seem, do rot realize that out
in the open air of the battlefield the
percentage Of gas in the air would
not be nearly so large as in the con-
fined spaces Of a mine or factory
iirC."
The army mask affords absolutely
no protection against carbon mon
-; ide gas. which is most prevalent in
mine fires and factory disasters DY
CottrcN said. adding that the masks
were actually Il menace because of
the false feeling of security they give
the Wcarcr.
The bureau of mines endorses the
use Of the self-contained oxygen
mine rescue breathing apparatus and
is prepared to furnish information
regarding its use.
