War Weapon as Bank Insurance

War weapon as Bank insurance.
Beating swords into plowshares has
been historic phrase for years but
it is not believed that many Of the
instruments of war have been made
of great use in times of peace. Least
of all was it to be supposed that a
good use could be found for the in
fernal and deadly compounds that
first wrought such havoc in the hands
of the Germans and later were i'm
proved and rendered more dangerous
by our own warriors.
Now comes word from Pontiac,
Mich, that two burglars breaking in
to bank safe in the little town Of
Utica, nearby, were foiled through the
deadly fumes of mustard gas. A gas
bomb had been attached to the in
terror of the safe in such way that
the forcing of the door exploded it
and clouds of the overpowering gas
drove the thieves away. That looks
like one of the best bank insurance
schemes ever tried and the inventor
or promoter of it should reap a har-
vest. It isn't the man with brains who
always makes the money success but
the man of ingenuity and brains
enough to use it in practical ways.
A gas mask will now have to be
added to the modern burglars equip.
ment and that is a thing not easily
stuffed in the pocket. Furthermore
the after effects of even a slight &C
quaintance with mustard gas shoulc
prove valuable clue in the quick
capture of the robbers. The clever
crook, who frequently shows skill ano
study that would bring his success IL
a respectable society, will probably IL
time find some way of combating
even this new safeguard for the pub
! lie and private treasure but for som,
time it may prove good watch dos
out of what was supposed to be onl!
a ravening wolf.-Duluth News Trib
une.
This scheme is all right so far as
goes, but most of the present da,
bank robberies are committed i
broad daylight by bandits who hol
up the officials at the point Of gun
and when the vaults are open. Wcr
this poison-gas innovation supple
mented by recent invention in tn
shape of windows manufactured fro,
glass which is impervious to bullet
much greater protection would (
afforded to both the money in bank
and the lives of the employees.

Some of the physic students got a
surprise, or rather a shock, few days

had this wire charged, to tell the

reported and it was a good joke.

is 1T GORDON?

Family historians among the Cor
dons seem eager to find romantic
origin for their name. They go
rather far afield when they say the
name is derived from Gordonia,
town In Macedonia, and there is no
substantiation Of their claim that
they are named after place I'm Nor
mandy. There is a parish OF Cor
don, Berwickshire. England, and II
is undoubtedly from this that the
Gordons take their name. There are,
and always have been. many OF the
Gordon tribe living about this par
ish.
There is a nice little story that
tells us that the founder Of the Eng
lish family was one Bertrand de
Gordon, who shot Richard tho Zion
hearted to death in battle. Richard.
you know, pardoned the archer with
his dying breath, but a follower
killed the archer when he saw that
he had slain his royal master. There
really doesn't seem to be any sub
sanitation for this story either.
The Gordons who are located in
Maryland trace descent to a Rich
ard de Gordon. a knight banneret,
who fiourished in 1850. A descend
ant OF his was Patrick OF Aberdeen,
Scotland. whose son Charles, born In
Aberdeen in 1921. came to this coun-
try, settling in Chestertown, Mary
land.
In New England. there is a distin-
guished family OF Gordons who trace
descent to Alexander Gordon, a
Highlander. who was loyal to the
Stewards, and. having served In the
royalist army OF Charles 1. was out
OF favor when Cromwell and his
party came into power. He was i'm
prisoned by Cromwell and was sent
in chains to America in 1851. where
he was held in Massachusetts, for

DEATH OF MRS. SUSAN R,
CARREII

Mrs. Susan R. Carroll died at her
home in Charles Town last Thursday
night, By misstep in passing from
one room to another about $50
O'Clock, she fell to the floor. The ac-
cident was not considered serious
the victim of it joking and laughing
about it afterwards. She was put to
bed, however, and about 8 o'clock she
asked that a physician be called. A
half hour later she lapsed into uncon.
seriousness, and then in another hall
hour she was dead.
Mrs. Carroll was Miss Susan R
Locke before her marriage, and was
the daughter of William F. Locke
over half century ago, one of the
leading merchants of Charles Town
In March of this year, she celebrated
her seth birthday. All of the earlier
and the latter years of her life were
passed in Charles Town. The inter.
val after her marriage to VIM. c.
Carroll, who died fourteen years ago
she resided in Monticello, Florida and
Bowling Green, KY, where Mr.. Car.
rell was in business. Up to the last
hours of her long life, she retained
all her faculties, and took a keen in
terest in current events. She was a
faithful member of the Episcopal
Church. Her store of information
about Charles Town and the out
standing events of it's history seemed
inexhaustible, the facility with which
she could recall them being quite as
much due to her retentive memory as
to her reading. Mrs. Carrell's death
removes the last member of her ia
theirs family of two sons and eight
daughters.
The funeral was held Saturday af-
ternoon, services at her late home at
q o'clock, Bishop w. L. Gravatt and
Rev Conrad H. Goodwin officiating.
lnterment was in Edge Hill Gene
terry.
