The orchestra never played better, the dancers never felt more like dancing, and it was a most enjoyable evening.
 The Valentine decoration scheme was carried out and the pretty gowns of the women gave bright touch to the scene that long win be remem- hered in Purity Temple No. enter tainment calendar

Land Owners To Share
In Distribution OF Acid

Farmers who share in the Govern.
ment's free distribution of picfic acid
salvaged from war materials, need
not fear to use it as an agricultural
explosive. All they will need to do
is treat it with respect. The records
are filled with the stories of men
woh forgot this precaution in hand
ling dynamite an dOther dangerous
things, yet dynamite and gun-cotton
and nitroglycerine, and even the
Justly celebrated INT are perfectly
tractable when proper consideration
is paid to their peculiar forcefulness
in resenting rough handling. Men
who forgot this precaution in hand
these explosives never-or almost
never-forgOt this representatives,
1t is worth remembering.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, through the Bureau Of
Public Roads, has about 12,50O,OOU
pounds of this salvaged picric acid to
distribute free among landowners to
stimulate land clearing operations.
This explosive was used in large
quantities during the World War.
Because of its high cost of manu-
facture it can not be classed as an
agricultural explosive; but as sal
vaged war material it is recommend
ed to farmers who can obtain it at a
lower cost than they would have to
pay for commercial explosives. The
only charges made by the Govern
ment will be for packing and trans
portation. The headquarters in each
State will know how much these
amount to for the different dis
tances.

Overcome by gasoline fumes from
the exhause of his motor car, Horace

them she found Mr.. Fitzgerald on the

Who DID IT
THE MAGIC LANTERN

Takers in the old days were no
less quick than their present breth-
rem to take advantage of scientific
discoveries to fool the public.
In 1916, one Athanasius Kircher
announced to the few German scien-
lists of his day that he had discover
ed an instrument which would throw
large pictures of any drawing or
painting placed in it, upon white
screen. He wrote kuite a treats on
the first magic lantern and called it
the AIRS Magma Lucis ct Umbrae."
From a scientific point of view
Kircher's discovery did not make
very deep impression. But half
dozen travelling magicians somehow
or other got hold of copies of the first
magic lantern. They travelled far
and wide through the country and
they not only scared the peasants
and smalltown people out of their
wits but by making a speciality of
showing pictures of the devil, of poor
souls frying in purgatory and other
pleasant subjects, they collected con-
siderable sums in return for the
promise to keep these evil spirits out
of the homes of their victims.

Teachers Are Returning
To School By thousand

Washington, Aug. 12.-(Capital
News Service) Reports to the eff
feet as many as $4,000 former
school teachers, most of whom gave
up their call ing for the purpose OF
participating in war work of some
character, are now ready to resume
their old duties is taken to mean the
little red school houses as well as
the city schools will no longer sur
fer fro ma shortage of instructors.
This return to school teaching has
been aided to a great extent by the
action of the executive departments
and bureaus and commissions IN
Washington in dismissing thousands
of war workers. A surprising percent
tage of those who came to Washing
ton for work of clerical character
during the war were teachers.
This renewed interest in the pub
lie schools which means a new Wig
or and devotion to their work on the
part of tie teachers is certain IN the
opinion of school executives, federal,
state and local, to result in good Tor
the cause of education. And, in the
same way, it is believed, backing for
the federal Department of Education
also will be given impetus.
