Passengers returning from the Orient

EXPLOSION OF GAS
IRON CAUSED FIRE
FLAMES REACHED SUCH HEAT
THAT NEARBY TELEPHONE
CABLE WAS MELTED.

The one-story tin building on the
extreme west end of Johnson street,
next to the Farmers Savings and
Loan Cos. bank, was completely
Quilted by fire about o'clock Satur-
day afternoon.
The building was occupied by ne
gro cafe and pressing club. The fire
originated when a gasoline iron ex-
p1oded, the flames spreading rapid
ly over the entire building. A number
Of suits, in fact all that were in the
pressing shop at the time, were de-
stroyed, as was everything in the
cafe The pressing shop was operat-
ed by Mitch Ware and the restaurant
by Oliver Jackson, and the building
was owned by Joe Thomas. 1t is un-
derstood that there was no insurance.
The fire department reached the
scene of the confagration at once, but
experienced considerable difficulty in
getting water on the fire. For a time
it looked as if the negro bank next
door was also doomed, but the only
damage to it was done by the water
used in extinguishing the burning
building.
The heat from the fire was SO great
that the telephone cable stretched in
front of the building was melted.

The meeting of the local W. c. T.
u, held at the Methodist church,
proved to be a very interesting one.
1t was conducted by the president,
Mrs. R. E. Bell, in her usual efficient
manner.
As there were several business mat
tiers to be brought before the Union
the literary program was dispensed
with. One of the most important
subjects discussed was the circulation
of an anonymous circular which was
distributed throughout the county.
After considering the various points
brought forward in this poster it was
decided by the Union that its main OBJ
ject was the defeat of the county po
1iceman. whose reelection was a
vital matter with the w. c. T. u.
1t was decided that the Union
would attend in body the meeting
Of the county commissioners and en-

Rantoul. Ill.,. March 5.-AlI per-
| sons riding in government owned
| aircraft are now required to wear a
parachute on every flight. according
to officers at Chanute Field here. A
parachute course has been added to
the training courses at the field and
during the last year, fifteen Naval
Air Service and Marine Air Service
men came here from the United
States and Hawaiian departments
for instruction in this course.
The course is extended over ten
weeks of intensive training, during
which time each student is required
to make several jumps and is in
s.:ucted in the care, construction,
repair and use of the parachute.
The Air Service has adopted two
styles of parachute. according to the
officials. One is the Seat Pack and
the other the Lap Pack. The Seat
Pack folds up and act9 as a cushion
for the man to sit on. Both styles
are about twenty-eight feet in dia-
meter when open and are made Of
high grade of silk. having a ten
sile strength of forty five pounds to
the square inch. These styles have
been in use for about one year and
to date have never failed to open,

that thousands of tests have been
made under every possible condition,
such as tying knots in the cords,
folding the parachute in tangles and
releasing them in all kinds of .weath-
