change the material appreciably.

| from behind screen. This finally
| was clearly demonstrated to be the
case. Somewhere in the broad Ca
| tawba Valley or beyond was the ori-
gin of the light.
Many parties of residents with in
qu1ring minds spent nights on Brown
Mountain and in the valley and at
tempted to track down the places
from which the light arose. 1t was
like seeking the end of the rainbow.
Finally the people of the region
appealed to United States Senators
Simmons and Overman asking that
they employ their influence to OBJ
tain a scientific investigation by the
Federal government. At first the
suggestion seemed rather bizarre. It
looked as though the good people of
Burke county were seeing things at
| night" But the most solid citizens
of the county pressed the request
and finally George Rogers Mansfield
of the United Geological Survey was
detailed to conduct a special inquiry
into the phenomenon.
Traced to Headlights
Equipped with alidade. telescope,
camera and other scientific paraph-
d
county. He turned himself into a
Sherlock Holmes and began thinking
in wide circles all around the prob
lem. Then he did what seemed to
many of the natives a strange and
unnecessary thing. He spent some
time in studying and charting the
lines of the many railroads which
thread the Catawba Valley and the
country beyond. He compiled list
of time schedules of night trains. He
studied the highway maps and trac-
ed the routes of automobile traffic.
With his instruments he made tri-
gonometric calculations. Next he
made a study of the effect of the
heat of the day and the cool of the
mountain night on the air currents
in the Catawba Valley and the small
er valley between Brown Mountain
and the Lovens heights. Then he
laid the Brown Mountain ghost.
What the bewildered observers
saw were locomotive and automobile
headlights miles away across the
Catawba Valley-in some cases As
miles distant.
This, of course, is only half the ex-
PLANTATION. Any normal person. in
ordinary circumstances, can recog-
real solution of the mystery was Mr..
Mansfield's discovery that at night
fall, the cold air currents on either
side of Brown Mountain crept down
the valley, producing extra ordinary
atmospheric effects which resulted
in refracting, rnagnifying. sometimes
coIoring and at all times distorting
any light seen through this strange
veil. A headlight, instead of show
ing beam, as usual, would, through
the veil, of twisted air, show like a
ball of seething light. Two automo-
bile headlights would show as one
nebulous and. furtive illumination.
Strange effects would be produced by
the locom motives or automobiles turn
ing curves.
Some scientific societies do not be-
lieve that ghosts are responsible for
the lights but they do not accept
the headlight theory and declare
that the mystery will be solved
sooner or later with some explana-
ton related to the mineral and
chemical products of the region,
since the vicinity has a number of
relatively rare minerals such as
mica, garnet, acquamarine, and ra-
dium, and also deposits having i'm
portant chemical properties.

Guard Against "Flu''
With Musterole

Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia
usually start with a cold. The moment
you get those warning aches, get busy
with good old Musterole.
Musterole is a counter-irritant that
relieves congestion (Which is what a
coldreally is) and stimulates circulation.
1t has all the good qualities of the
old-fashioned mustard plaster without
the lister.
Just rub it on with your finger-tips.
First you will feel a warm tingle as the
healing ointment penetrates the pores,
then a soothing, cooling sensation and
quick relief.
Have Musterole handy for emergency
use. 1t may prevent serious illness.

There were a number of tilts be-

thing congress had done or was
likely to do for the farmer.
