TICE-PRES. COOLIDGE
ROUTED BY FIRE
Tenth Story of New Willard Hotel in
Washington Quilted and Entire Build
ing Damaged BY Smoke and Water.

| Washington, d. c., April 24.--Vice-
President Coolidge, several members OF
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives and many other persons prcmi-
nent in public, business and social life,
were among 600 guests Of the New
Willard hotel, who were routed out Of
their beds early Sunday morning by a
fire which swept the top floor OF the
ten-story building.
The blaze had it's origin in the ball
room on the tenth floor, where few
hours before President Harding, Mr..
| Coolidge, members of the cabinet, sen.
ators and representatives, foreign dip
! lomats and Others had sat around the
banquet board as guests of the Grid
iron club at its annual spring dinner
and frolic. The fire was confined TO
that floor and the roof above, but tons
OF water poured into the flames seeped
through the floors below, causing much
damage.
There naturally was some confusion
and excitement as hotel attaches, po-
/ lieemen and firemen pounded on doors
and the telephone operator on duty
called room after room, but all those
1 in the hotel got ont of their apart
ments to the corridors and lobbies in
safety. Many went to other hotels,
carrying at least part Of their lug
cage with them, but scores aremained
at the New Willard and returned to
4 their rooms after the fire had been ex-
( tingushed.
How the fire started may never be
determined, but one theory is that a
cigarette or cigar stump cast aside at
the close OF the gridiron dinner found
lodging place underneath rug or IN
fold Of heavy drapery. IT was 5:45
o'clock when passing policeman no
I ticed smoke coming from the tenth
| floor windows. He turned in an alarm
and then rushed into the hotel inform.
ing the night clerk.
Several fire companies were on the
scene in few minutes. The clatter OF
their gongs awoke Vice-President Cool
idge, who. upon going to a window, saw
the apparatus drawing UP across the
street He called Mrs. Coolidge, re-
marked that there was a fire in the
neighborhood and suggested that they
90 out TO see il. While they were dress
| ing, they learned that the fire was in
the hotel. Leaving their apartment on
the third floor they descended TO the
lobby and Mrs. Coolidge was sent to
the home of the vice-president's secre-
tary, Edward T. Clark.
Mr.. Coolidge remained at the hotel,
where he was again joined in the aft
ernoon by Mrs. Coolidge He is the
/ second successive vice president Of the
United States to have an experience in
a fire at the New Willard, blaze hav-
| ing routed out Vice President Marshall
and Mrs. Marshall late one night nearly
four years ago.

the field next fall defeated the grad
mates, who composed last years team,
~ the score of 0 to 0. The game,
which was divided into four quarters
the first three being eight minutes and
the last Is, was very interesting and
the new and lighter men received much
applause for the way in which they
tore through the heavy line Of the reg
ulars.
For the first half 1t was seesaw
battle, with both sides gaining and
then losing the ball. Coach Lundholm,
playing for the underclassmen, made
some good end runs and Slayton and
Nicora took the ball around the under
classmen's end several times although
the gains were not large. Once or twice
the new ends let their man get by but
not often. After about Is minutes Of
play the grads" tried an unsuccessful
forward pass, which the s'undergrads
landed upon for safety, Lundholm
played Crichton at full back during
this half and the regulars found him
a hard man to stop when he came
through center. He was member OF

to delight ina mixup, was repeatedly
given chances to take the ball through

The Vesuvius Failed Utter
" and Brought $426O
AS Junk

Washington, D. c., April 24-Ihe old
navy dynamite ship, Vesuvius, in
Spanish war days, hailed as the pos
sible pioneer craft of a new naval era
for the world, has been sold as junk
to j. Lipstiz Of Chelsea, Mass, tcr
$4,000. Like many other novel craft
which were expected to sweep all bat
tleships from the seas, as the Merri-
mack and Monitor wrote doom to
wooden bulls, the dynamite ship
failed utterly and was discarded The
naval records Of all countries are full
Of such experimental craft.
The vesuvius carried three dynamite
guns thrusting upward from the sweep
of her forward deck. From these queer
4ooking weapons, operated by COM
pressed air, huge proiectiles loaded
with nitroglycerine charges sufficient,
it was thought, to tear apart any ship
OF fertilization on which they landed,
were to be hurled. The ship itself must
be aimed at the target at short range,
however, as the gums" were immov-
able in the decks.
As a trial in the Spanish American
war. she was ordered to hurl death
and destruction onto the walls Of
MORO castle on the high bluffs. When,
at the close range necessary because
of the low power of the air guns, the
vesuvius finally "let go" a terrible
roar back from the bluff. It shook the
earth and sea and sent frightened resi-
dents Of the city scurrying in fear to
caves and cellars.
But it proved only to be sound. When
Santiago fell and examination was

for gains. Signals bothered Ross some
once or twice but even with mixed sig
mails he took for good gain each time
In the final period Lundholm took
the ball over the line for a touchdown
after the younger team made a rally
and drove the grads back for good
gains Of from FIVE to 20 yards. The
new rule came. into effect for the first
time in which the ball goes back to
the 2O-yard line, giving the team max
ing the touchdown chance to take it
over in one down or dropkick it, Eric

dropped it over the bar with a pretty
kick.

Thoughts on Life and Business.

The fellow who isn't fired with en-
thusiasm is apt to be fired.
Excess is an arch enemy Of sue
cess.
If top-notch efforts will yield you
no happiness, there's something
wrong with either you or your et-
forts. Sit down and do some analyz-
ing.
After all, you've got to give full,
fair value, or you won't last.
Carelessness and failure are twins.
The most valuable "system" is a
good nervous system.
Saving is having.
If you have half an hour to spare,
don't spend it with someone who
hasn't.
Don't simply see how you can put
in the day." see how much you can
put into the day.
Never contrive to make it easy for
your concern to get along without
you.
Make sure the prize you chase is
worth the price If you cultivate your
talents you'll always find an oppor-
tunity to use them.
When in a fix, sweating will get
you farther than swearing. Let mules
do the kicking.
Honking your horn doesn't help so
much as steering wisely.
Don't expect poor work now to
lead to brilliant work hereafter.
You have no idea how big the 9TH
er fellows troubles are.
It's all right to aspire to control
others, but have you begun with Num-
Der One?
Notice that two-thirds of promo
tion' consists of motion"
There is better market for smiles
than frowns.
The highest form of salesmanshiI
is nothing but service.
The only influence worth having
is the influence you yourself create.
The wages of idleness is demotlon
There is no higher rank than tna'
of worker. No title can ever make a
loafer a noble man.
There must be output before there
can be income.
Defeat is often a spur to victory.
The best reward is sense OF Wor'
thy achievement.
Good times for all can only be the
product of good work by alb. e.
Forbes.

NOTICE CONCERNING FLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROOADS.

Pursuant to recommendation Of
the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the
landowners Of the county cultivating
lands adjacent and adjoining public
roads are hereby urgently requested
not to ploW into or allow their hands
to plow into the roads. Landowners
are requested to plant two or three
rows Of crops adjacent to roads paral-
lei with the road, 80 that there may
be proper turning space without the
necessity Of turning plows in the
roads. 1t is against the law to al
low plows to DAMAGE the roads,
and it is an unnecessary prac-
tice. The county spends large sums
of money in road building, and the
roads belong to the people. I have
no desire to prosecute anybody, bur
I must insist that this practice be
stopped Immediately. The farmers
and tenants can cooperate in this re-
spect, and there should be no neces-
sity to bring action against anybody.
Full notice is being given before l
take such action.

The Man on the Dry Goods Box
Winks His Right Eye and Says

That many a man is indebted to a
jury for life.
That we prefer to believe that the
Lord helps them who help each 9TH
er.
That you can say this for a golf
fan-he never talks shop outside the
office.
That the man who succeeds by
letting things slide, is the trombone
player.
The one reason why some people
do not have more is that they do
not want more.
That when the boss wants thing
done, it will simplify matters to let
him have his own way.
That a woman is pretty sick when
she doesn't get excited because the
woman who curls her hair forgot to
come.
That it's easy enough to get the
men to go to church until they get
married. After that they get preach
ing at home.
That life is a grindstdne, and
whether it grinds man down or
polishes him up, depends on the stuff
he's made Of.
An optimist is a fellow who be-
lieves whatever happens, no matter
how bad, is for the best. A pessimist
is the fellow it happens to.
That a contented mind may be a
continual feast, but some people
think a continual feast is the best
way of getting a contented mind.
Some Of these couples who are so
sweet to each other in public don't
realize how amateurish they are.
They need more practice at home.
That a man will smoke eight cl-
gars in one evening and then blame
his indisposition next day on one ripe
olive which he ate for dinner.
