Damage by Electric Storms.

Friday night one of the most severe
electrical storms in the memory OF most
people here visited this town. 1t began
about Il p. IN. and for an hour or more
was continuous lightning and thunder.
As result telephones were out OF COM
mission and many are not yet in working
order.
The home of Miss Alice Goodell was
struck by lightning, the bolt striking first
on the slate roof, breaking states, and
coming through the north wall into bed
room, breaking the plastering with such
force as to throw it across the room, lit
tering bureau all over with the mortar,
knocking over and breaking things on
the bureau and breaking into small pieces

wall. 1t apparently went under the bed.
splitting the long side piece of the bed
stead and tearing off about three-quarters
of the board which holds up the Stats SO
that it fell TO the floor, the Stats going
with it. The current went through
double blanket and white spread. which
were thrown over the foot board, burning
several large holes in both. and piece of
wood was found sticking in one hole. 1t
then went out through window break
ing one pane clear out.
Little Elizabeth Goodell was in the
bed, and it seems a miracle that she was
not even stunned. Her aunt, Miss Alice
Goodell. had left the room just a few
minutes before and was coming back. She
was within a few feet of the door when
the lightning visited the room.
lightning also struck the home of John
Hitchcock, going through cornice. 1t
tore around the bedroom, splintering the
woodwork generally, but not damaging
any furniture His daughter Nellie. was
in the room, but was not injured.
On Saturday afternoon there was an
other lightning and thunder storm with

The road and bridge expenditures
for 1919 show an increase Of approx
mately 80 1-3 per cent over those OF
1913 and 20 per cent over those OF
1914. More striking, however, Is the
increase in the proportion Of the total
funds supervised by the several state
highway departments. In 1918 the ex'
penditures by or under the supervision
Of the state highway departments
amounted to $117,2S5, 26S, while the
local road funds, over which they exer-
cised no control whatever, amounted to
$16S, S12,925. In 1919, however, the
state highway departments supervised
the expenditure Of 5000, 292 ,694 rs
against the total Of $1S9, 1888, 2S7 e1-
pended by the local road and bridge

AMERICAN MOVIE LOSES
ITS HOLD IN ENGLAND
BY Webb Miller
UNITED Press Correspondent

London, Feb. 28.-In view of the
present slump in the American film
industry and according to informa-
ton elected from the principal pro-
ducers here, it looks as though Aesop's
race between the tortoise and the
hare might be re-enacted in FINLAND.
England is creeping up, quite slow

making. So far they have felt nothing
Of that slump which is affecting the
American film industry.
During the war, there was very
little time for film production, and
the number Of people employed was
negligible, but recently these num-
bers have been greatly increased and
many British footlight favorites have
tt. Len up film work.
New cinema houses are springing
up all over the British Isles and their
programs for the year include any
thing between 60 and 80 per cent
Of home manufactured photo-plays.
Gradually the British public is being
weaned away from the American
film. The public is showing prefer
ence for those films which depict the
English ideas and English sentiment,
set in English surroundings.
According to the figures obtained
from the Harma, Hepworth and
Ston companies, sales in Europe are
showing decided upward tendency,
and many requests are coming from
European countries for films which
have for the setting some of Eng
lands wonderful historical back
grounds. English films are specially
popular in Scandinavia, and apropos

REMOVING SNOW FROM ROADS
Becoming increasingly Important Be-
cause Of Large Amount Of Travel
During Winter.

Snow removal from highways Is be-
coming increasingly important be-
cause of the large amount Of travel By
motortrucks and automobiles. Sew
eral states have made apprOpria tons
for removal of snow from the main
highways hut in other states there has
been no appropriation of funds for
this purpose. Vast quantities Of COM
modlties must be hauled over the high
ways next winter because of the lack
of sufficient railway cars to move them,
and state money, rather than local
funds, ought to be used to keep truck
highways open.

Cotton Stalks Will Furnish Paper.

The possibilities Of cotton~stalks as
a source of paper have long been sus-
pectcd and experiments in this direc-
ton have been made, but for one rea-
son or another it has never proved
quite practical.
The nearest approach to success has
been made recently, and 1T is an.
nounced that there is a plant at
Greenwood, Mass, 'whcre so tons of
paper are made every day from three
times that amount of stalk.
Certain thin tubular fiber In the
plant will make excellent cellulOse for
durable papers. 1t is strong and flex-
ible. If quarter of the annual sup
ply of the cotton stalks of the South
were put to thi; use each year there
would be no need of paper shortage
