An amazing story of a flaming light
in the sky near Hagerstown. appear
ing before a generation that has for
the most part disappeared from the
earth, is contained in a document own
ed by w o. Jones, of Hagerstown,
county superintendent of high ways
The apparition inspired the utmost
terror while it lasted, according to the
story of the event as told by Lorenzo
Dow Fox, several years ago, and writ
ten by Harvey Day, for AZ years owner
Iof the Hagerstown Exponent The
story was turned over to Mrs. w. o.
Jones, a granddaughter of Mr.. Fox,
who is keeping it at her home at pres
ent
The narrative follows:
There has never yet appeared in
print story that, dealing with abso-
lutte facts, has told of events of such
an incredible nature as the amazing
phenomenon of the sky that occurred
in the year 1843.
1T was seen by party of 90 hunt
ers in Eastern Indiana in the county
of Wayne in startling figures, burning
upon the sky.
Fox Told Story.
strange and awe inspiring scene, L. D.
Fox of Hagerstown is now the only
surviving member. (Mr. Fox has since
died). He is a man whose veracity
is never questioned and whose char
acter is unimpeachable. No one doubts
the strange story, and when he relates
| It, as he often does, he shudders as
| he recalls the awful night
"Mr. Fox vouches for the truthful
ness of the following story of the ap-
| partition in the sky. The party was
composed of neighbors ranging in age
from 18 to As years. The assembling
of these neighbors on that particular
night was Occasioned by widespread
alarm over that section of the county
resulting from a series of blood curd
ling screams, seemingly half-animal
half-human, piercing the forest and
fields for miles around. The frightfu
screams appeared to issue from the
depts of "Logan's Deadening."
General Alarm
:" The Logan Deadening' was z
wide stretch of land, heavily timbered
with great specimens of our forest;
that had been 'deadened' but still re
mained standing, forming, with it:
jungle-like underground, a fit habita
tion for wild beasts.
''The general alarm that had spread
over the section had become so in
tense that the citizens were notified
to meet on this particular night, at
given point, to institute a search ant
capture, if possible, the animal tina
with mad screams kept the populact
in a state of CONSERVATION.
"They came together, men of irol
moods, and youths stalwart ant
brawny, each filled with anticipation
of dangerous encounter with some fe
rocious beast or beasts, fully deter
mined to rid the 'deadenin' of it
terrorizing inhabitants.
"The squad broke up into parties o
four and began to scour the area sup
posed to be infested.
Strange Apparition

which lasted until nearly midnight, il

Federal control of education will in
evitably follow the distribution of fed
eral money, as provided in the Sterl-
ing-Towner bill according to Fitzpat-
rick. state legislatures might con-
tinue to pass educational bills, but
federal influences would be exerted
through the all-prevqding standards
the government would demand" he
said.
Fitzpatrick declared that one of the
ills of the present educational system,
controlled by the state, is that politic-
ally-elected state superintendents lead
educational activities in % states and
that the preponderating number of
county superintendents are also elect
ed through political dabhling.
The proponents of the LIBERALIZATION

It will remove the tax burden, but
Fitzpatrick's article charges that fed
eral taves are paid by the people the
same AS local levies, and that the ad-
vocates of the bill are pushing 1t be-
cause II Is politically inexpedient to
raise local or state taxes.
Fitzpatrick comedies that soma
states might be benefited by federal
aid, but declares that it should be Civ
en- only to those that are below the
national educational minimum qualifi-
cations, and for such u length of time
as the states poverty makes impos-
sible the attainment of the national
standard of education.
The proposal to create Il Cabinet Of
flee for the nations educational lead
er is declared by Fitzpatrick to be
based on the theory that the position
will cvreate leadership. ..
In this move toward nationaliza-
tion we are working for social patent
medicine that will be a panacea for
all our educational ills, and we are
very likely to be disappointed, Fitz-
patrick believes.
He suggested that the federal lead
ership of education, IL remodelled at
all, be designed to hold a similar LEGAL
position. and system of organization,
as the United States Commerce Com
mission, or the Smithsonian Institute.

More Traffic Since State Street Paving
 Was Rid of Bumps

Bridgeporters, or at least that DOT ton of the residents who drive auto mobiles, most certainly know a good thing when they see it. That is, perhaps. the most reasonable cause for the increase of traffic on State street in the past few weeks.
 The reason for the great increase in traffic on the west side street is more likely than not due to the paw ing between the trolley tracks which has but recently been completed
 For several years the street had been composed of a large assortment of big and little bumps and holes. After every big rain.- especially near Iran istan avenue, large sections of the wooden paving might have been seen floating around.
 This unnecessary and dangerous condition was finally rectified when, as the result of an arrangement be- tween the city and the Connecticut company, the center of the road, be- tween the trolley tracks, was torn up and a roadway of concrete laid down to replace the wooden blocks.
 An almost constant stream of local and through traffic is now taking ad- vantage of the new pavement.

CATCHING SHARKS WHILE SWIMMING
 IS LOT OF FUN

People who enjoy swimming in the waters at the nearby beaches should not deprive themselves of this health and amusement giving sport and exer- else, because of the shark scares which spring up every now and then,' Chief Mach1nists Mate T. G. Motherall, at tached to the local navy recruiting station in the Federal building told a Times reporter today.
 Chief Mothera1l and Charles c. King, an old time navy and submarine ing crew which is testing submarine S-4S, both told interesting stories of the utter disregard which the navy men in the tropical stations have for flsh which have been variously dub
 bed as 'sea monsters, 'sea tigers and other equally terrifying names.
 Naval vessels which are dispatched to tropical climes are always in waters which are infested with sharks of all kinds hammerhead sharks and tiger sharks and many other species of the fish which writers have described as being of such a terrible nature.
 The gob must have his swim, sharks or no sharks. The sailors on submarines, battleships and all other war craft, dive right into the waters unmindful of what has been called a terrible menace" the navy men say. While some of the gobs are in swimming, others throw out lines with
 which they bait and catch sharks almost alongside of the men in the water. Any man who has been down in the waters of the Caribbean or off the coast of Central America can tell you of similar experiences'
 'The gobs have at least one use for the sharks. When a good sized speci- men is caught, the backbone is taken out and strung on a metal road, then placed on lathe and turned down so as to be nicely rounded. After this process ferrule, preferably a bullet tip is placed on one end and a handle on the other an the finished product is a cane of great strength and beauty An ex-navy man in Bridgeport has such a cane,' the men concluded. By the way, we have some new navy books and literature at the re- cruiting office for distribution to btaining information regarding sea service" Chief Motheran gave as his parting sally.
