A German scientist demonstrates
his ability to get flakes of real gold
from mercury. An American is
working at the problem. Don't
worry yet, however. The manu-
featured gold costs much more than
the other kind. And mercury, hav-
ing so great an affinity for gold,
may have small particles of gold al
ways stored away within It.

A young man, eighteen years
old, set fire to seven barns ON
Henry Ford's estate last April.
He was convicted, and ordinarily
would have been sent to spend his
early manhood in some prison uni
versity of crime.
Henry Ford appealed to the
Court, and had the young man put
on probation, guaranteeing that he,
Ford, would send the young man
that burned his barns 70 the Ford
trade school.
More trade schools and more
Fords might make jails less num-

A scientist in the British Mu-
scum, reading ancient papyri, finds
one of the third century, containing
thirty verses of the twenty-siXth
chapter of Matthew. Thus we
know that three centuries after the
birth of Christ men were warned
that "they that take the sword
shall perish by the sword" Men
nevertheless went on taking the
sword and perishing by the sword
through, all the centuries up to now.
This discovery will be useful be-
cause it will cause many to read
over again st. Matthew's descrip-
ton of the Last Supper

Fathers and mothers need not

been taught to read intelligently,
and if they read the right books,
because their minds crave informa-

IS LOSE LIVES
Property Loss In Upper Mississippi
 Vall0X Is S0, OOO

VaIleX Is $8, ,OOO; 900
 DES MONIES, la, June 29.-Fif- teen persons lost their lives in the severe wind and electrical storms that swept the upper Mississippi Valley and vicinity, a check-up on the death list disclosed Sunday.
 In six communities alone property damage that tOtaled nearly $S,OOO, ,OO0 was reported. These places included Fort Dodge, Ia., Galesburg, Monmouth and Oduawaka, H., Omaha, Neb., and this city.
 Rivers and creeks were reported ont of their banks throughout the storm swept area and in many places railroad and vehicular bridges were down. Many roads were washed out and in sections where no washouts occurred. traffic was blocked by trees that had been blown down and piled up in the high ways.
 Gangs of workmen were sent out early Sunday through the devastated area in an effort to open up some of the roads and erect temporary bridges. Railroads had hundreds of workmen busy in an effort to patch up places washed out. It will be several days, however, before normal traffic can be resumed on any lines.
 A check-up of trains that went into the storm area while the winds and rains were working destruction showed that at least two entire trains were blown off the tracks and scattered for several hundred feet. Several passen- ger trains were unable to get through to their destinations, the passengers talk ing temporary refuge in nearby farm houses or villages.

by the abolition wing, when the con ference passed a resolution passed by official members of the Westmoreland circuit of Virginia, complaining that, while geographically they were subject to the state laws under which emancipa- tion could not talk place, the Balti- more conference to whose ecclesiastical Jurisdiction they belonged, refused to elect certain of their local preachers to order or to admit them into the travel ing connection because they were shareholders. In response to this com plaint the general conference adopted a resolution declaring that the simple holding of slaves or mere ownership of slave properties in states or territories where the laws did not admit of eman- cipation and commit the liberated slaves to enjoy freedom, constituted no legal barrier to the election or ordina- ton of ministers to the various grades of office known in the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church and could not therefore be considered as operating any forfeiture of rights in View Of such election and OFdinatioA.

 The driving wind ripped and tore everything in it's path as it roared down Broadway. levellfng most of the brick buildings at the second floor. Frame structures, filling stations and other small buildings were entirely demol- ished and the wreckage strewn for
 Street Cars Demolished
 The S5-mile-an-hour wind blew street cars from their tracks i; turned over and hurled automobiles to the curb; bent and twisted telegraph poles like wire :; snapped off wooden poles at the, ground and hurled them across the streets onto building roofs. r..
 Some idea of.the havoc, wrought by the storm was apparently expressed by local, contractor, who said :a
 The best way for us to do is to take everything away from the wrecked sections and build from the ground up again. What is left is really beyond repair"
 Thousands of trees are down through the residential district visited by the tornado and the tangled wires form a veritable spiders web over the stricken area. Fortunately, the power plant ceased to function almost with the arrival of the storm and. the fallen wires could not injure the panic strick- en men, women and children. as they rushed pell-mell from their homes or as they were blown about.
 Funnel Of Death ...
 Witnesses who saw the storm ap- preaching said it was funnel. or dou- ble funnel shaped black, whirling cloud.
 From Sandusky the tornado, belch ing torrents of rain, dipped about ten miles southeast and, then came north again striking Lorain almost exactly at the west corporation line of the city. - =
 Then the tornado seemed to divide. part of 1t going almost north and south down the entire length of Broadway. Officials of boatlines, on Lake Erie between this city, Lorain, Sandusky end other points with the storm-swept area report their vessels as safe and have heard of no loss or damage to craft of other lines.

 II walked west of Lorain about one half mile to the Riveryiew bathhous0 This brick building had fiattened nn- der the pressure of the wind, while about 200 bathers were seeking shelter there. Dead and injured were all about.
 At the police station only two men were in charge. I asked how many had been killed by the tornado.
 II don't know, said the sergeant, about 300 guess. There's the body of a woman out there in the alley now. put her jewelry in the safe
 Injured Tell Of Terror
 Injured victims of the disaster rush. ed here to hospitals Sunday recounted terrifying experiences.
 Mrs. Anna Schumacher, 45, of Lo- rain, told in Lakewood hospital how she saw the body of her little grand daughter, Eileen. Rhoades, taken out of their home. A> f
 II was visiting by daughter-in-law when the house suddenly caved in on us," she said. ~"Then everything was Llack for hours until fnally somebody dragged us out.
 Then I saw that the home of my daughter, Mrs. Esther Rhoades, was also just pile of timber. They took eight people out of the ruins and the hst was little Eileen, who was only three years old She was dead
 Alex Sipos, IS, was sitting in his tome with his mother and father, read ing. The house fell in on them. Sipos was injured internally. His mothers s left leg was was pierced by lath. His fathers hands were crushed.
 "The wind picked me up and dropped me on the sidewalk five times," said Mary Stasik of Lorain.
 Il fell on my back. l rolled 30 feet before could grab post"
 She received severe bruises about the head.
 Richard Graupner, who lives in the west section of Lorian, was looking out of the window. The storm took his home from it's foundation. He walked cut of the door and was thrown vio- lently against the ground was but was not seriously injured.
 John Takatz, 80, lived in one of the homes built during the war by the United States shipping board in Lo- rains outskirts. He started to light his pipe when the house fell in upon him. He heard the screams of his wife and three children in the kitchen but vas unable to reach them. The family was rescued.
 Tt was horrible" said Sam, Hook, who witnessed the tragic scene in Lo- rain immediately following the tornado, and arrived here Sunday morning.
 T walked up a residential street. It was crowded with men, women and chil- dren. Some were carrying trunks and suit cases. There were mothers car rying babies.
 Many were injured, dragging them selves along, begging and moaning faI the doctors to hurry. "
 "I saw an automobile on top of a house. I say a dog bowling in front oi dark open space where home had been completely carried away. The great black hole only remained-and the dog.
 Sides of homes were crushed in, roofs torn off, some lying in the street, some in tree tops, some piled on wrecks of other houses.

 hours after several hundred employers had left their work.
 Fears were entertained during the night for the safety of several steam CTS on Lake Erie and in Sandusky Bay but the calm sunligh. of Sunday which followed the black tornado cloud showed that all steamers had safely ridden Jthn storm except for one towing launch WI ich had been crushed against d bargo. The 35 persons on board this launch scrambled from the wreckage to the barge and escaped unhurt.
 Housing of the homeless and atten- .tion to the injured occupied the at tion of scores of doctors and nurses and Red Cross workers who had been rushed to the scene during the night as quickly as trains and automobiles could be piloted into Lorain over un- dermined railroads and flooded high ways.
 Begin Clearing Wreckage
 The police and fire departments, aided by the first arrival of state troops, began clearing away the wreck age that blocked many thoroughfares and continued by daylight the haphaz- ard. search started last night for the bodies of those who had been killed and for any injured persons who might not have been able to release them selves from the fallen buildings.
 The rural damage probably was not so great as at first feared because the storm jumped over large areas without doing much damage. The tor nado struck Sandusky, about 50 miles west of Cleveland, and demolished many buildings, bridges and telegraph lines and then jumped almost the entire dis tance of 9 miles eastward to Lorain without doing much serious injury.
 But at Lorain. thriving manufac- turing city of some 10000 persons, the black funnel-shaped wind dropped down with renewed fury. It blew at a speed of S5 miles an hour in spots and possibly much faster at it's vortex. The devastating whirl-wind swept through the city, twisting and tumbling what ever came in its way and then lifted to descend again at various spots but with much less fury.
 Its was thought tonight that the situation was well in hand but that several days time would be required to clear away the wreckage in the places the storm hit hardest.

 From Lake Erie the twister turned southeast, wrecking 39 houses at Law renee Park, suburban town of Erie. ana causing much damage at Kane. Meadvllle, Butler, Beaver and many other towns in its path.

the task of choosing candidate who can win"
 In another statement, Mir. Roosevelt declared that a democratic victory in November could not be achieved unless the standard bearer for the party is thoroughly known to and trusted by the great mass of republican and inde- pendent voters as well as by democratic voters Reciting past victories by the governor in his own state, Mir. Roose- not be won unless the democratic can didate was strong enough to overcome the normal republican majority.
 If we turn to other pivotal states, the real battle ground of the coming campaign, we see the same situation" MT. Roosevelt said. Smiths position in New Jersey is practically identical with his position in New York. He is just as we'll known and just as we'll liked. The same is true of Connecti- cutt and it is significant that the skill ed and trained democratic leaders in others pivotal states regarded Smith as the man who can carry their states. The Illinois and Ohio leaders express confidence that he can carry their states.
 Includes Many States
 Massachusetts is ranged beside him for the same reason. Delaware, New Hampshire and Maryland are similarly situated and in many of the western states such as Nebraska, Montana, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Cali fornia and Washington there is confi- dence that Smith would win"
 Calculation of results in a cold blooded, hard-headed way, will show that Smith figures out the certainty of the solid south with 192 electoral votes in states where he has gathered strength This would give hime 31 more than enough to elect"
 Announcement was made at McAdoo headquarters by Rockwell that Me Adoo leaders would challenge unit vote from New Jersey if one is cast as was the case last night on the plank issues. Delegates from that state he said, were chosen at primaries and are mot bound by the unit rule.
 Rockwell recalled that at the Balti- more convention in 1912, Ohio sought to vote under the unit rule under a somewhat similar situation and that the chair held that the unit rule could not be enforced on delegates under the circumstances.

.ASO ObhOWH 0GFC6bS
 LORAFN, O., June 29.-With 50 per- sons dead, approximately half hundred seriously injured and several hundred having sustained minor casualties from the devastating tornado that swept over the northern part of Ohio last night Lo- rain tonight is preparing to bury its dead and rebuild.
 Early tonight routes through almost all of the streets had been cut by an army of ax-men and traffic that had been contested to the point of stagna- tion, moved little more freely.
 Six hundred national guardsmen are guarding the streets and tomorrow morning 250 more will arrive. When these latter are on hand. q strict mili- tary control will be established and only those who have business to attend to will -be permitted within the limits of the 'city. e. es.-S---;
 !, ~At(S o'clock tonight the siren at big Steel plant screeched warning that all of those who were not occupied in their various lines of business must get off the streets. A pass signed by Brig Gen. John R. McQuigg was the only credential recognized after that hour.
 4 warning was issued that all per sons caught within the city tomorrow who could not satisfactorily explain that they were there on business would be put to work clearing up the debris.
 Bodies Still In Ruins
 The last check-up on the list of the known dead showed 59, but the county coroner and the police were certain that a number of bodies lay under the. ruins of collapsed buildings and that these would not be recovered until complete exploration has been made in all areas or the city.
 Due to the confusion and darkness after the storm last night. many wild and exaggerated reports were current as to the number of ad ana injured. As near as could be checked today, the above figures are authentic at this time. The Red Cross and tie coroner S nffice. hnwever said that if will he sar-
