FILTRATION OF GASOLINE.

Automobile owners and drivers
would do well to heed this note Of
warning. Do not attempt to strain
gasoline through q channels skin
placed in metal funnel The reason
for this is, that the gasoline passing
through the channels creates static
electricity which finds storage in the
metal funnel. Static electricity is cleo
tricity at rest. It is an agent Of
neither construction or destruction,
as long rs it il permitted to remain
dormant, but II disturbed, win cause
great damage.
AS long as the funnel remains in
contact with the tank, there il no
danger, as the funnel is grounded, but
II the funnel be held up short dist
ance from the tank, it creates q
"gap," and the electricity which ID
stored in the funnel win jump this
gap, creating z spark which passes
through the gasoline fumes arisina
from the tank and IN explosion d
bound to follow.

DEFECTIVE FLUES AND
cHIMNEYS.

Though we have on several &c.
casions called the attention Of oul
readers to the great danger Of hur.
rying fires by the use Of kerosene and
other highly inflamable and explosive
liquids, the practice continues. Three
fires occurred in New Orleans in one
week in February from this cause
In one case q woman was severely
burned, while one building was TO-
tally destroyed and two others badly
damaged. Stick to the old fashioned
way; use plenty Of good, dry kindlina
when starting fire, leave inflamable
liquids alone.

Matt Jackson and Major James,
two colored section hands on the NJ,
II. & L. road, had an unfortunate
accident befall them last Saturday
evening, when leaving Lake Bruen.
They were starting the motor car
when Jackson's foot slipped and he
fell, both feet going under front of
car, across the rails, and both wheels
ran across his shins, one being in
jured from the knee practically to
the ankle. This threw the car off the
track, and the trailer, behind, bumped
against the car, catching two Of
James fingers, MASKING them right
badly, one especially. Jackson's legs
were both badly lacerated, but hap
PLY no bones were broken. He is
laid up at his home at st. Joseph
and James has gone to the railroad
hospital ut Monroe.

SUMMER COURSES FOR SUPER
INTENDENTS.

Department Of Education Baton
Rouge, March 16, 1922.
Members of Parish School Boards,
Gentlemen:
F., wish to bring to your attention
the question Of making it possible
for your superintendent to make a
summer course in one Of the great
colleges of the country.
It is possibly safe to say that the
parish superintendent have been 80
completely concerned with the rou-
tine duties Of their Office that they
have found little or no time for
systematic, constructive study, and as
a natural result, they are dropping
behind" in educational thought and
procedure.
During the last ten years, much
has been discovered in the matters
of materials that should be used in
the education Of children, as well as
in classroom procedure, and If the
children attending the public schools
are to profit by such discoveries as
are made in their interest, it is OBJ
vious that the superintendent must
"keep abreast of the times" believe
that there is no estimating the good
that will result to the schools by
making it possible for the superin-
tendents to pursue courses, occasion
ally, for as long as six weeks in some
Of the great universities. They could
take these courses during the early
summer, when their services could
be best spared from the school work
should think that it would not be
difficult to provide for the routine
duties Of the office during the alb
sence Of the superintendent with
little or no additional expense.
am 30 thoroughly convinced tina,
the superintendents should Ego te
school, that one Of the first recon-
mendations that I shall make to the
State Board Of Education under the
new scheme provided for by the con.
stitution Of 1921 will be q regulation
requiring the state and parish super.
visory officers to pursue advanced
courses in education ever 20 often
In the meantime, the superintend.
ents should not be required to wait
for such q rulingIsome Of them
should take courses Of six weeks next
summer.
believe that this question merits
your consideration-there doesn't
seem to be the greatest wisdom in
requiring teachers to advance their
education by attending summer
schools, while the head Of the school
forces takes no such action.
Yous sincerely,
T. b. HARRIS,
State Superintendent
