MOTHER AND CHILDREN
BURNED TO DEATH

Aiken, Feb. 21-Mrs. C. e. Monts,
her two sons and baby girl were
burned to death, and Mr.. Monts was
probably fatally burned in fire
which destroyed their home here early
this morning.
The fire, which was discovered
shortly after midnight, made such
rapid headway that it was impossible
to rescue Mrs. Monts and the children
The fire was first discovered when
flames burst from the second story
window and when the fire bells failed
to give the alarm ncighbors fired pis-
tolls and guns to attract attention.
The first persons to arrive on the
scene found Mr.. Monts in an uncon-
scious condition in the lower hall Of
the house, whore he had apparently
been overcome while trying to rescue
the children, as the bodies were seen
in this section of the burning build
| ing. Mrs. Monts was apparently
trying to make her way downstairs
with the little girl when overcome.

Trouble With Rudder

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 21.-Thirty-
four dead, including thirteen Off
GERS of the army air service, is the
, result of the trial trip of the giant
dirigible Roma, wrecked at the army
supply base, Norfolk, at 2:1O o'clock
this afternoon.
The huge aircraft was hurried to
her fate by striking a net Of 1900
volt high-power wires as her pilot
was apparently trying to bring her
to as safe landing rs possible.
Crippled by trouble with her rud-
der, she was being dropped to the
over distance of scarcely more
than 500 yards.
Her contact with the high volt
age wires, which she tore asunder,
started her gas bag afire and the
explosion followed as the nose Of
the craft struck a pile Of car ma
terial a few feet beyond.
The explosion sent flames 800 feet
in the air as eight Of her sur
vivors leaped from the "drck" of
the ship. Three others were drag
ged from the mass Of wrcckage and
flames.
Eleven Survivors

The bodies Of thirty-onc had been
taken out at 6 O'clock, and officers
who knew personally many of the Of
ficers and enlisted men, were unable
to identify single one of the vic
Tins SO badly charrcd was each
virtually cooked to death in the mass
of wreckage when the explosion and
flames cncompasscd them.
Only those in the forward part
of the operating compartment Of
the ship had a chance for their
lives. Several were injured severe
ly by jumping, but three came out
practically unhurt and were dis
charged from the hispital within
a few hours after the disaster.
Lieut.. Burt, who with Capt. Reed,
was the principal pilot of the Roma
%.was one Of these He jumped when

Th|RTY-F0UR DEAD IN
+" AIRSHIP DISASTER
Rudder Fails to Work and Giant Air
craft Plunges to Earth
DESTROYED BY FLAMES
Many Believe Contact With High
Voltage Electric Wires
Caused Destruction

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 21.-Of the
forty-six 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, thirty-four are
dead, the bodies of many of them
being charred beyond recognition, and
eight survivors are in the army pub
lie health service hospital here suf-
fering from shock, burns and bruises.
In less than an hour after cast
ing off her moorings at her hangar
across Hampton Roads the Roma
was tangled mass of wreckage,
the huge gas bag being completely
destroyed by fire after a fatal nose
dive while soaring above the army
supply base here.
work remains to mark the scene
Of the disaster when the search of
the debris was ended tonight after
the last body had been recovered
Three Men Escape
Three of those on board of the
ill-fated airship escaped with only
slight injuries. They are:
Lieut.. Byron Il. Burt, Sergt. Ver-
non Peek and Roy Hurley, a civilian.
Many, who witnessed the disaster
are inclined to the belief that the
explosion which caused the dcstruc-
tion of the Roma was caused by con-
tact with high voltage electric wires.
This theory, however, is contradicted
by others, who claim that the airship
was ablaze before te disastrous plunge
to earth.
The Roma was making her first
flight since the installation of Lib
erty motors which were recently
substituted for propelling machinery
furnished by the Italian government
which sold the huge dirigible to
the United States government.

RED CROSS HEALTH NOTES

Miss Susie G. Dawson, the Field
Representative of the Red Cross is in
Manning this week in an endeavor to
stimulate Red Cross volunteer activi-
ties and Junior Red Cross.
The Red Cross women who render
ed such splendid service in war DAYS
are reorganizing all over the country
TO conduct loan closets for their home
counties, answer emergency calls for
service to the disabled ex-service men
in hospitals, and calls for garments
for destitute children in Europe. Tu-
bcrculosis soldiers are now in need of
knitted sleeping caps, and those who
would like to knit for "our boys" are
asked to notify the local Red Gross.
There is Cn immediate need Of child
ren's garments for Russia at present.
Anyone who will donate material or
services in sewing, or children's
clothes in good condition, notify the
local Red Cross office. A splendid
work is being done in many chapters
by women who are making warm
garments for children out of old WOOL
en- suits. Laycttcs are especially
needed. In the Southern Division 3O3
Chapters have reorganized for SER
vice, and $4,000 childrens garments
turned in and 5000 layettes. How
ever, the quota is not yet reached.
In organizing for this service, the
ZONE need is to be met first. In the
Loan Closet for the County should be
sheets, pillow cases, clean rags and
sleeping garments and articles to be
used in cases Of sickness, and also
c!-ildren's garments to meet the need
of children Of the County in need of
proper clothing.
Two more schools have been in
spected this week. One at Paxville,
the other, the Sammy Swamp school.
The nurse is especially pleased with
conditions at PaXville this year. The
school generally has improvcd-clean-
illness of teeth, personal cleanliness
and sanitary conditions of school and
grounds. The teachers without cx-
ception have shown an interest in
health conditions and trying to instil
into their pupils high ideals. Although
many phases, such as oilng the
floors, having individual drinking
cups, individual towels and soap, and
sanitary toilets need attention, still
progress is being made toward our
goal. Health and Happiness for all
in the community. 1t will be noticed
that the skin color is better than in
most schools-probably due to outdoor
exercise.
