He was an enthusiastic Scot, and
he was discussing with an English
friend the merits of their respective
countries. Military prowess, bril-

travel and empire building had all
been passed in review, and the Scot
had won hands down. Eventually
the Ene;ishman sought refuge in
literature.

TELL OF EARLY DAY
WORK OF W.C.T.U.
MOSCOW BRANCH is 32 YEARS
LD-COMBATTED SALOONS
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED

The Moscow branch of the w. c.
T. U. met Monday afternoon in the
annex of the Christian church for
their annual program and election OF
officers. The topic for the afternoon
was "The Past, Present and Future
of the w. G. T. u"
Mrs. Emma Urquhart, one of the
two living charter members of the
local branch, which was organized
in Moscow some 32 years ago, spoke
interestingly on the work of the or
ganization in the past, telling how,
in the early days, they had canvassed
the town with petitions which they
presented to the council and had fin
ally succeeded in having the saloons
midnight during the week She told
how on down through the years they
had kept sentiment active against
the saloon.
Mrs. Rachel Townsend, mother of
Mrs. Urquhart, is the other living
charter member of the local branch
Mrs. M. J. Stevens, who recently
moved to Moscow, and who for a
of years has been a state W.
G. T. U. worker in Washington, gave
an interesting talk on "The Future
of the w. G. T. u" Mrs. B. c. Rowe
told of the work done during the
past year and of the new interest be-
ing taken, especially by the younger
many of whom are becoming
members.
Following the program the follow
ng officers were elected to serve the
coming year: Mrs. B. G. Rowe, presi- |
lent; Mrs. Fred Samms, secretary;
ind Mrs. H. o. Folkins, treasurer.

SMUT EXPLOSIONS
MUST BE C0MBA7TED
FIRE PREVENTION ENGINEER
SAYS STATIC WIRING is EFFEC-
TIVE-URGES UTMOST CARE

Horace Sykes, fire prevention engi-
neer for the Northwest Mutual Fire
association, with headquarters in Spo-
kane, was in Moscow, Tuesday, check
ing up on the results of the static
wiring equipment for stationary sep
arators, given out by the company
Twenty of these sets have been given
out through the Star-Mirror office,
and Mr.. Sykes left ten more sets,
which are available for threshing ma
chinemen, without charge.
In some sections of the Palouse
country, especially in Whitman coun-
ty, there has already been a large
number of smut explosions, and in
several cases machines have been de-
stroyed. Mr. Sykes said that in no
case, so far as he has learned, has
there been an explosion where sta
tic wiring set was in use. To prove
that the electricity is carried off, a
machine was started up after night,
wire disconnected from the ground
ing post, and then the wire swung
against the post, the contact drawing
a continuous stream of electricity.
Mr.. Sykes, who has given years of
study to fire prevention problems,
urges that the farmers use the great
est care possible, especially this year.
as there is considerable smut, and
the explosions which have occurred
have been particularly violent, in
some cases injuring men severely.
He advises especially care in the
cleanup, where, in the last few
thrown into the machine,
small rocks and pebbles are often
thrown in, and coming in contact
with the cylinder teeth, throw off
sparks, causing explosions. His at
tention was called to this through the
frequency Of explosions just at the
end Of the run.
1t is suggested by Mr.. Sykes, too,
hat after run is completed, the |
'armer plow fire guard around his
sack pile. Not infrequently, a fire
starts in the stubble from ashes, or
rom some other source, and connects
With the sack piles. A majority of
he fires, he states, can be avoided
md he is making every effort to bring
O the farmers the advantage of his
experience in fire prevention work.

TUNNELS A MENACE
To crews OF TRAINS

Washington-(A. P)-If you chafe
and choke over the heat fumes enter
ing your railway car the next time
YOU go through tunnel, think of
the men in the engine cab and be
happy. For, says the bureau of
mines. the heat to which trainmen
are subjected not only ranges as high
as 1876 degrees, but the smoke and
moisture-laden atmosphere is often
filled with deadly carbon monoxide
gas.
The bureau recently conducted
series of tests in railroad tunnels in
connection with investigation into ac-
cident causes. Out of 40 tunnel trips
whose duration ranged from Az to 25
minutes. it was found that carbon
monoxide was present in the air in
81 cases. Hot exhaust gases from
the engines were another source of
danger
Exhaustion of train crews due to
exposure to atmospheres containing
carbon monoxide, or to exceedingly
high temperatures saturated with
moisture, was said undoubtedly to
have been the cause Of many acci-
dents.
Results of physiological tests over
periods of ten minutes in engine cabs
showed that the conditions there
might be severe enough to cause as
phyxiation or exhaustion in periods
of 20 minutes, in case an engine be-
came stalled in a tunnel.
While the bureau has experimental
with gas masks for the use of cab
crews, and has perfected a small
pocket respirator for quick use when
in a tunnel, it has been concluded
that the most satisfactory method for
overcoming the tunnel atmospheres is
by supplying fresh air to the men
from the trains air brake system. A
supply is led to each man through
a small rubber tube with an ordinary
funnel on the end, which, when held
close to the face, furnishes an ade-
quate fresh air supply.

CITY FIXES HOURS FOR
SPRINkLING THE LAWNS

So that Moscow's water supply may
be sufficient throughout the summer
months for all the needs of the city,
and also for fire protection, the city
council has limited the time when
water may be used for sprinkling
lawns, to four hours each day. The
hours when city water may be used
for this purpose are from six o'clock
to ten o'clock p. m. During these
hours the best effect may be secured
from the sprinkling as the water is
practically wasted when used during
the heat of the day.
While there is no danger OF the
water supply being inadequate if the
regulations of the city are followed,
the promiscuous use of water, at all
hours, during the dry months, might
tax the supply. There is no desire
upon the part of the city officials that
the lawns be neglected, but it is de-
sired that the water supply be con-
served by sprinkling during the hours
when the best results may be obtained
from the use Of the water.
