WHEAT CROP DAMAGED

Thousands of dollars damage to the
wheat crop of Maryland, Delaware,
Virginia, West Virginia and parts of
Ohio was done by the excessive rains
of July, according to Baltimore Cham
Der of Commerce officials and others
acquainted with the situation. This,
it was stated, does not mean that the
crop was failure, but it does mean
that wheat has deteriorated in quality
and that considerable further damage
is possible unless dry spell sets in.
Ungraded wheat on the floor of the
Baltimore Chamber of Commerce on
Tuesday, according to James B. Hes
song, secretary-treasurer of the body,
brought as low as 40 cents bushel,
the lowest quotation in several years.
The range was from 40 cents for I'M
graded to $1.13 for No. 2 red garlicky.
Ordinarily the harvesting season in
Maryland is over by the middle of July
This year, however, the rains have de-
layed thrashing, and while little
sprouting in the shocks has been noted
the grain arriving is of such wetness
that there is danger of heating. Com
ing into market in this shape, the
wheat brings much lower prices than
if it were dry.
The precipitation in Frederick coun-
ty during July was from 4.95 to SIG.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

Struck by lightning bolt Monday
evening while standing in a confec-
tionery booth at LeGore's Grove where
the Church of God is conducting its
annual summer services, Edward A.
Myers, about AZ years old, of Woods
boro, was instantly killed. c. P. Smith
who has charge of the booth and who
was standing near Mr.. Myers, was
stunned by the same bolt that killed
Myers, but not seriously injured. 1t is
believed that the bolt struck power
pole of the Frederick and Hagerstown
Railway Company and followed ser
vice wire to the booth in which Mr..
Myers was leaning against the up
right which supported the service
wire.
Mr.. Myers made no cutlery, although
spectators saw him fall and ran to his
assistance Immediately. A physician
was summoned and said that death
had been instantaneous.
Mr. Myers was a son of Luther
Myers and grandson of the late John
Myers, all former residents of Thur
mont.

BOYS ATHLETIC MEET

The holding of a field and track
meet for Frederick county athletes
some time during the third week in
August seems now assured, according
to w. E. Daily, representative of the
Public Athletic League, this county.
Interest in the meeting is growing in
Frederick and number of inquiries
have been received from Brunswick,
Middletown, Emmitsburg, and other
towns. A number of athletes in all
these towns who have won places in
county school meets expect to partici-
pate in the meet next month.
Mr.. Daily expects to get into COM
munication with the Public Athletic
League representative in Washington
county, and to make arrangements for
a meet between representatives of that
county and the winners of the meet
here. He will endeavor to have this
second meet held the fourth week in
August or the first week in September.
The object of having two senior
classes, one for youths whose ages
range from 16 to IS, another for
young men over Is years old, Mr.
Daily explained, was to provide for a
class for whatever college men happen
to be home for the summer and aan-
other class for high school boys. Col
lege boys would, as rule, be over Is
years of age. Most high school boys
would be under that age. There
would not be many high school boys
in the 80-pound or 95-pound junior
classes and this would give the public
school boys an opportunity. He is
making arrangements to obtain suita,
BILE medals and prizes for the winners
of the county meet here. .
All boys or young men desiring te
enter the meet or who are otherwise
interested are requested to commune
cate with Mr.. Daily at the Y. M. c. A
building, Frederick.

SOME GREEN-VISORED LIGHTS
MUST GO

1t is thumbs down for the lights
with the green visors that are seen on
many cars of a popular make-some-
times referred to as "flivvers." Within
the next forty or fifty days they will
only be memory, if plans undertaken
by Automobile Commissioner E. Aus
tin Baughman are carried out.
The order does not affect high grade
lights which are shaded with green
Opaque glass.
The common lights with the green
visors, constitute, according to lighting
experts one of the most serious men
aces with which they have to contend.
They are forever getting out of the
proper focal adjustment, causing a
binding glare on the roads that seri-
ously endangers the occupants of
other cars.
This, in effect, was the tenor of a
discussion held by representatives of
10 states, who came to Maryland last
week for their regular quarterly meet
ing, which was held at the home of
Col. Baughman at Braddock Heights.
1t was the expressed belief, following
lengthy talk, that the lights consti-
tuted such a danger that they should
be removed with the least possible de-
lay.
Automobile Commissioner Baugh-
man stated that he had already writ
ten to Secretary Lucius stating that
he intended doing away with the green
visored lights and asking that he take
the matter up with Attorney General
Armstrong. Within few days notice
will be given all drivers of these cars
through the newspapers that within
80 days from given period they must
have new lights to conform to what Is
considered proper lighting SYSTEM
