bruised besides two large cuts ever the

her head severe enough to have caused
death. but the presence of large welts
about her throat led them TO believe
that Mrs. Brigham had been sirangied
Her clothing had been almost torn from
her body.
The detectives said that they had not
been able 70 learn where Mrs. Brigham

not know whether her murderer or

GAS IN 1920

Altho the gas-making industry
had great difficulty in obtaining ad-
equate supplies for good fuel in
1920, the quantity of gas sold was
greater than ever before, amount
ing to nearly 500 billion cubic feet,
having a value of more than $780,

GOVERNOR MORROW ENJOYS
TRIP TO DIsHMAN SPRINGS

Gov. e. P. Morrow had a dandy
time during his trip to Dishman
Springs. He was a boy again for a
few days and hshed. swan. losfed
as much as the governor of the
state is allowed to loaf and enjoyed
the big meals served at the Springs
with the appetite Of his younger
days.
On Sunday he delivered his fam
GUS lecture, THE Trial of Christ"
to an audience numbering over 500
people who came from all direc-
tions. Many shed tears as he out
lined the life, trial and death Of the
Master of Men.
Governor stressed the points from
the stand OF a lawyer and showed
that the whole procedure of the
Jewish Sanhedrim was illegal and
was done by corrupt oflcialdom
while the better element was absent.
The Governor spoke of the won
derful influence which the Carpen-
ter OF Nazareth has exercised on
mankind thru the succeeding gener-
ations by the beauty OF His life and
His self-sacrifce.
After the lecture Governor Nor
row was kept busy shaking the
hands of his many friends who con-
graduated him on his powers as a
lecturer.
During his stay at the springs it
can truly be said that "a good time
was had by ALL" the Governor in
cluded.

HEALTH NURSE ASSURED

DR.. J. 8. Locke, executive secre-
tary OF the state Tuberculosis Asso-
citation, went before the Fiscal Court
Thursday on behalf of a county
nurse who will be under the control
of the State Board OF Health, and
locally under the supervision OF a
health and welfare league.
Dir. Locke made an eloquent ap-
peal for those who so badly need
the services of nurse in the coun-
ty. DR.. F. r. Burton, DR.. Leslie Lo-
gan and DR.. VIM. Burnside also
spoke showing that we have a short
age of physicians and that one visit
only often can be made to a sick bed
bue the fact that a nurse is avail
able means that the dostor's instruc-
tions will be carried out. very often
to the saving of life.
DR.. Locke also pointed out the
splendid results attained thru the
examination OF children by the
nurse whereby many are saved from
blindness, deafness and other per-
manent disabilities that are caused
thru the lack of knowledge that
they exist until demonstrated by the
nurse.
On Friday the following arrange
ment was put thru by the Fiscal
Court. DR.. Locke promised on be-
half OF the State Board of Health,
to pay the salary of the nurse for
the first two months, Mayor Tinsley
making a guarantee personally of
$25 to go toward fund of $225
to be raised among the citizens to
pay half of the salary Of the nurse
for October, November and Decem-
ber, On account Of shortness OF
County funds the, Fiscal Court
agreed to pay only one half the SAL
ary OF the nurse for October. Nov
ember and December. but after
that time they have morally agreed
to pay the whole OF the salary.
This action vtll bring cheer %

WASHING WEARS CLOTHES

mo mans shirt ever wore out on
his back" is true enough. 1t is un-
doubtedly the washing process which
wears out the material. II takes q
certain amount of friction to re-
move dirt and stains, and the life Of
any textile is dependent directly up
on the number OF times, the dura-
ton. and severeness OF the rubbing
process.
The laundress removes the dirt by
rubbing the garment up and down
with all the energy she can com
mand on a corrugated washing
board. The soap. tho necessary
adjunct TO the process, IN reality
plays a secondary part In thu actual
cleansing OF the material
On the other hand, IN most taun-
dries the use OF some harmless de-
tergent being forced thru the pores
OF the cloth. thru the action Of the
washing machine, merely loosens
the dirt and grim from the material
and the soap which s added later
combines with the particles OF dirt
and carriee It on into q solution,
which is readily rinsed and re-rins-
ed from the clothes.
The actual contact between the
clothes and the side OF the cylinder
is OF very little Importance, due to
the smooth surface OF the modern
machine. What actual friction oc-
ours is caused by the rubbing OF the
various garments against each other
which of course, cannot be compar-
ed in severity with the destructive
effect OF the favorite weapon OF the
laundress-the corrugated zinc wash
ing board.-Send your clothes to the

UNCLE JOHN SHELL DEAD

Uncle John Shell who had records
to prove that he was 1913 years old,
died at his home on Greasy Creek
where he had lived on the same
farm for more than 100 years, He
made all arrangements for his bur-
ial requesting to be laid hy the aide
OF his nrst wife Who died several
years ago at the age OF 122 His
death occurred from the inhrmitie
OF age he never having been ssr-
iously III tn bis long life.
Uncle John first became known to
the world In 1919 when he took his
first ride on a railroad train and
went to Lexington to the Blue Grass
Fair, later attending the State Fair
at Louisville.
In that out OF the way corner Of
Kentucky-a county which has no
railroads-the death of Mr.. Shell
was regarded by all the neighbors as
II the parent OF the entire commun-
fly had passed. He retained all his
faculties up to the last.

ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS a YEAR IN ADVANCE
SMALL TOWN BANDS

Secretary Of Labor Davis, who
played the clarinet In the town band
In Sharon, Pa, many years ago, is
advocating the creation OF a federal
bureau OF recreation for the deve-
lopment OF instrumental and vocal
music, the drama, the theatre and
athletics thruout the United States.
ITO my mind" the labor secre-
tary said, there is no greater infiu-
once for community and social good
in the American small town of to-
day than the town band. Some of
the pleasantest recollections OF my
life carry me back to the days when
| played the clarinet In the Sharon
Band. President Harding preserves
as one OF his proudest recollections
the memory OF his association with
the Marion CO., Band in the days
when he was beginning to develop
the character for accomplishment
which bore him to the White
House."
1t is Secretary Davis idea to have
the proposed bureau Of recreation
cooperate with the states and the
individual communities in develop
ing home and community music.

CARNIvALs AND THEIR
EVIL EFFECT

= In a Pennsylvania town recently
physicians traced three hundred and
forty-two cases of certain types of
venereal disease to a travelling car
nival company. Hazard, KY, is re-
ported by DR. J. S. Lock to have two
hundred cases as the alleged result
of a visit from a carnival com
pany and, as they we're supposedly
coming to Barbourville DR.. Lock
was prepared to order wholesale ar
rests and quarantine.
Variety" a theatrical publ!ca-
tion, speaks of the carnival as the
''sewer of the show business" and
tells of numerous crimes committed
against girls, even against little
children, by followers of carnivals.
Most city "boobs" are protected
by the city fathers from the unclean,
gambling carnival, but 1t generally
finds the way open to show in the
smaller cities and towns where the
medical fraternity has to clean up
(if possible) the mess 1t leaves
and the jailer has to keep a woman
inearcerated Onstead of the owner
of the show) for indecent exposure
as was the case not mtny furlongs
from our own town, or was 1t our
own town?
Ultimately the responsibility for
the debauchery of our boys and our
girls rests with the public officials
who permit rotten carnivals to
ccme to town
They are generally straight out
and out gambling concerns-gamb-
ling for which the police would pull
our own citizens. The sex stuff that
caused the arrest of the woman men
toned is but part of the hootchy-
garden-of-AlfahtSexual appeal thns
caused the S42 modics; cases In
Pennsylvania. What trail vf evil
this may lead to. it is impossible to
say.
DR.. A. T. Mccormick. secretary Of
the State Board of Health, recently
stated that Barbourville Is tortu-
nate In not having carnivals and his
reasons are largely medical
The best way to fix the matter ia
to strike at the roots with sharp
axe OF public disapproval. Let the
county and city pass ordinances for
bidding the appearance OF any car
nival at fairs or in public lots IN
less the Knox County Medical AZ
sociation has given the members of
It a clean bill OF health. Also, that
any infraction of the gambling laws
shall cause at once the arrest Of the
offender.
We are glad to report that Mayor
Tinsley recently refused permission
to a carnival to come here and we
believe It was the same one that
cursed Hazard.

CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS FROM
ENTERTAINMENT STANDPOINT

The Redpath Chautauqua fulfilled
its promise that 1t would give US a
first class series of programs. The
people who have attended the var
ious lectures, musicales and the play
Friendly Enemies" have enjoyed
them all. There was the usual small
deficit to be met by the guarantors
and this fact has proved irksome to
those who have paid year by year.
( In spite of this fact, citizens have
signed up again for next year, some
forty-two in all.
We believe the system of every
body selling all tickets possible and
then pooling the loss, II any, is the
best one as it did away with selling
the tickets at less than their face
value, which pretty nearly brought
the Chautauqua a cropper and will
certainly do so II INDUCED In an
other year. The pooling of the loss
is the only fair and equitable way
as there are a number of outsiders
who are less able to dispose OF their
tickets than are those born here. II
these cannot sell their tickets, 1t
means they have to bear dispro-
psTtionate amount of loss, If any.
