BOLT OF LIGHTNING
SETS FIRE TO OIL
TANK; $250,000 LOSS

San Francisco, Oct. Light
ming early tonight struck two
$4,000 barrel tanks at the Union
Oil company's tank farm, Is miles
from here on San Pablo bay and
set them afire. One contained
crude oil and the other a refined
product. The damage several
hours later was estimated at $780,
1000.
The bolt came during the first
thunder storm in this region in
many months. One section of the
roof Of one tank, piece of heavy
metal about 20 by 80 feet, was
thrown more than SO feet. The
fire, it was said, might burn
many hours. Employees at the
tank farm devoted themselves to
keeping other tanks from taking
fire. They were assisted by west
wind which blew the flames away
from the main plant at the farm,
distant some 400 feet from the
burning tanks.

AMUNDsEN WILL
ATTEMPT To FLY
To SP|TZBERCEN
Arctic Explorer and His Pr
lot Will Hop Off From
Wainwright, Alaska, Late
in May or Early in June.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. Word
direct from Capt. Road Amundsen
that he and his pilot. Lieut.. o. On
dahl, will hop off from Vain
wright, Alaska. the latter part Of
May or the first of June to fly
across the North Pole to Spitz-
bergen was brought to Seattle to-
day by E, j. Ward, government
school teacher at Wainwright.
Amundsen plans, Ward said, to
make the flight of approximately
100 miles across the polar sell
tudes in one jump, carrying for
subsistence only a thermos bottle
of hot tea and a sandwich. When
he left Wainwright, Ward said,
Amundsen and Omdahl were build
ing their winter quarters, a cabin
On the beach near the school house.
They are we'll supplied with food
and fuel for the winter, having
killed two whales. some walrus and
seal, and having a reindeer herd of
1000 animals end coal mine
nearby.
By the middle of May, according
to Ward, the days are so long in
that latitude that it is practicable
to make photographs at night.
The schooner Maud. Amundsen's
exploration ship, according to
Ward, is drifting northward in the
ice floe at such speed that the ex-
plorer was of the opinion it might
cross the pole and reach Spitz-
bergen in year, though it may
take longer. The Maud is provi-
stoned for seven years.

H0RNSBY SUCCEEDS
BABE RUTH AS THE
CIRCUIT SWAT KING

st. Louis, Oct. l (by the Associ-
ated Press) Pep" Hornsby, star
second baseman for the st. Louis
Cardinals, with AZ home runs to his
credit this season, has succeeded
"Babe" Ruth of the New York
Yankees as the home-run "king."
Kenny Williams Of the st. Louis
Browns, ran Hornsby a close race
throughout the season for the cir
cult clouting honors of the major
leagues and was second with SO,
leading the American league.
"Tillie' Walker of the Phila-
delphia Athletics was second in the
American league with 81, while
Ruth who started playing this sea-
son at a late date owing to a sus-
pension, ranked fourth among thu
major league slhggers, having S5.
Hornsby's 1922 home-run record
fell II short of equaling the record
breaking total of SO four-base hits
batted out by Ruth in 1921.

PERFECT INSTRUMENT
TO CONTROL FIRE OF
COAST DEFENSE GUNS

Washington, oct. 1.-Two in
struments, which it is declared will
revolutionize the art of coast de-
tense, are being exhibited in the
ordnance department here and VIII
later be installed at Panama TO
control the fire of the big guns IN
the canal defenses. ....
These instruments comprise a
system of ranging and following a
moving enemy ship. They are
electrically operated and automat-
ically adjusted. They add. sub
tract, multiply, divide and make al
lowance for many factors control
ing the flight of big shell.
Visitors to the larger coast de-
'apse stations often wonder how 1t
is possible for the gunners to hit a
ship with five or six foot projec-
tile shot from a gun 70 or so
feet in length when the enemy is
as far off as thirty miles. In the
days of the civil war, when small
cannon shot iron balls weighing
fifteen or twenty pounds. the range
was usually point blank, the enemy
ship doomed large as target and
the gun pointer sighted by gazing
along the barrel,
The greater distances, weights
and charges used in modern me-
chanical warfare call for more ac-
curate fire. In future artillery
duels, army officers say, salvos will
be exchanged at the rate of two or
three a minute, and between vol
leys changes must be made in fir
ing directions. AS there is so little
time for this by hand calc lations,
some accuracy of fire is lost to
speed.
The new instruments will con-
stantly make these corrections.

with man who leaves his home,
wife and dog, only to return later
In the meanwhile, the man, on
whose account he left home, has
become we'll established as a social
visitor at his home. The dog, lonely
for his master, takes a great dis
like to this man by the name OF
Swetson, who is a psychic lecturer,
and an advocate of neo symbolism.
Arthur Hoyt, we'll known char
acter actor, plays the part of this
man.
When work was started it was
found extremely difficult to create
the desired antagonism between
Hoyt and the dog; for PAL likes
everyone and took an especial
fancy to Mr.. Hoyt. In the sequence,
where Williams is obliged to land
a blow on Mr.. Hoyts chin ana
knock him down, according to the
scenario requirements, Pal" had
been coached to degree where he
began to think evidently that SWEET
son had real designs on Williams
welfare, and as the dog was much
attached to the star, he endeavored
to protect his master. He leaped
on the fallen man and bit him on
the forehead in his excitement. The
bite was not severe but necessitated
a delay of a few days on the pic
ture as Mr., Hoyt had to rest. When
he returned to the studio he and
pal" became good friends.

ONE does not need to say that
" velvet is the fabric for the
ultra smart fall dress-every fash
ionablc shop evidences this. The
exquisite shades and soft beauty
Of today's velvet made it much ia
vored, and when it is skillfully
made in smart design it is espe-
cially desirable.
The blouse portion is cut to give
a long waistline effect, yet evi.
dences a slight blouse tendency.
This, one surmises, is wholly to
bring out the beauty of the velvet.
The sleeves are Of Canton crepe
in tan color and achieve an air of
distinction through their embroid-
cry, which is brown in COUGHING
stitch effect. The dress slips over
the head, the opening being at the
underarm.
Irregularity of contour and sup
pleness of brim are allied in the
development of this hat. The vel
vet brim flares up at the left side
and extends out in point at the
right, while soft crown of bright
colored duvetyn is finished at the
right side front with a wheel effect
of burnt peacock.

Tony Dallo had romance and a
sense of humor.. In his eyes was
that roughish light which invites
participation in secret joke and
in his clothes a touch of the ar
fist. No one at the little lake
resort had seen him before but
all admitted he was the hand
soonest man in the colony.
Within a week after Tonys ar
rival at Fair Lake he was
friend of everyone. The women
asked "Mr. Dallo" to unite boats
and string hammocks and, with
the easy forswearing of conven-
ton that comes with vacation
the younger ones sang out invita-
tons for "To-nee" to join the
hikes, dances and bonfire parties.
1t was a new life for the youth
who greeted his popularity with a
joyful laugh and outdid himself
in being agreeable.
ETHEL" said Mrs. Clemens, one
of the camp members who had
won an honored place of seniority
through ten successive visits, of
course we all like this Mr.. Dallo,
but-don't become too interested
in him. Remember, this Is his
first year here, no one knows any
thing about him and you will ad-
nit, in some ways he is jpst a
little-crude."

like this each year." Ethel re-
piled. "You ought to know that
summer flirtations are never SER
ious. Tony is lots of fun here,
but when we go home / will never
see or think Of him again." She
looked thoughtfully at the water
and admitted a moment of regret.
Tony and Ethel went fishing and
explored the.trails. They met the
mail train and saw the vacation
weeks through like happy chill
i dren. Then he announced he was
vguag back.

"vou have never told me what 1t
IL Won do in New York or any
thing about yourself. Don't you
feel we are good enough friends?'
In the moment Of silence Tony
grateful to the night which hid
his embarrassment, turned many
things over in his mind, half de-
cided on open confession and
made up his story. He had been
foolish, perhaps, to steal away in
to a new life for his summer ana
yet-he had done it before. Some
how. though, there had been no
girls like Ethel and this was go
ing to be the most painful awak :
ening of all. He rowed vigorously
in silence-then, while the boat
slid noiselessly forward under the
impulse, rested his oars and an

Ethel who had forgotten the

revelation of the artist in Tony
