GAS EXPLOSION SEARS
 VICTIMS OF HOLOCAUST
Second of Foreign Built Airships Takes Heavy Toll in Its Fall
 Only II Survivors.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 21-Of 46 army air service officers, enlisted men and civilians who left Langley field air station at 1 :45 this afternoon on what proved to be the last flight of the giant army dirigible Roma 5 are dead and eight survivors are in army hospitals here, suffering from shock burns and bruises.
 In less than an hour after casting off her mOorings at her hangar across Hampton Roads, the Roma was a tan- gl mass of wreckage, her huge gas bag completely destroyed by fire after fatal nose dive while soaring above the army supply base here.
 Only the bent and twisted frame work remained to mark the scene of the disaster when the search of the debris was ended tonight after the last body had been recovered.
 Flung earthward, presumably by broken rudder, the Roma plunged l. % feet or more, capsized across high tension electric line, and burst into a roaring furnace of blazing hydrogen gas.
 Long after dark tonight, many hours after her fall, the ship was still a mass of flames from end to end of her 40 foot frame. The fire was feeding on the 1,000,000 cubic feet of gas that had distended the great bag for the flight.
 Barely a dozen of the two score or more men aboard were picked up a. live. One died enroute to a hospital. All of those who survived the fire es- capped by jumping as the ship struck. The others, penned in the hull be- neeth the fallen bag, were burned 10 death Heat of the fire fought back the re: cuers for Eours.
 Bodies UnrecOgnizable.
 Three fire departments fought the flames with chemicals, and by z e. clock tonight the fire was out. Der ricks began picking up the wreckage as the flames were driven back. There Was scarcely more than the alumi- mum framework and the six Liberty motors to move. Within the wreck age lay the bodies, many of them charred beyond recognition. All had been taken out tonight. A charred rlass alone remains of what had been the largest ship of her type in the world
 Accounts of the surviving officers as to what happened were not avail able tonight. Every man who es- caped alive was burned or bruised, or both. Eyewitnesses agreed, however, that the huge kite-like structure of the stern rudder. itself as large as 8

NOTICE TO WATER USERS

While it is still impossible to
state definitely, it is thought that
there will be some water available
for use during the early portion OF
the 1922 irrigation season for which
no charge will be made.
In order TO protect all Users and
make an equitable distribution 0
such water possible, it is planned to
prorate the estimated so called free
water" among all users, but deliver
les will started on basis of a
charge of fifty percent of the
amount used. If it is then deter
mined that there will be available
free water, such charge of fifty
percent will be cancelled. Should l.
turn out that there is no free water
available, the charge for fifty per-
cent for the water will be left stand
No water of any description will
be delivered to those who have not
paid their maintenance assessments
for the year 1922 and prior years.

EThe protection and preservation
of our forests from fire can only be
accomplished if every human being
lend his or her ffoorts to fire pre-
vention. Eighty per cen. of the for
est fires which occur every year are
directly traceable to human agen-
cies. During this present week, all
over these United States, an effort
is being made to bring home 20
each person the terribleness of for
est fires, so that extreme care will
be exercised by everyone when trav-
cling or camping in forests. 1t is not
within human ability to control
fires by patrol if the general pub
lie will not help Generally there is
very little incendiarism However,
the average person does not seem
to foresee the terrible results Of
holocaust which had for its origin
a cigar stub or an unextinguished
camp fire.
lie us look at the necessity of fire
