Vivid Story of
TOucinOe Tragedy

A very vivid description on the
part of an eye witness to the recent
Toucinoe tragedy gives a splendid
account of the courageous If hope
less attempt of father and mother to
reach their children. The account
reads.
Il heard the explosion and in five
breaths that house was sight for
the fire fiends to rave over. Flame
everywhere. From every corner Of
the place, caught up by the wind Ike
toyc set down before a child. And
in the house, awakened by the roar
of the flames. those p1ucky folks,
tearing at the partition between
their room and the one in which the
children slept, and with their naked
hands getting out a section of the
wall board cr their side. only to be
driven away by the greedy flames
that We're crow'ling them from the
place.
And in the closet on the other
side Of that wall was little Lester
crying. Papa, come and get me-
Il never heard of anything like it
the fight they put up to get at those
children, Id when you think that
the house vas one sheet of flame
from the first five minutes after the
explosion, YOU can appreciate the
frei " that must have been in their
hearts and the despair. If only there
had been more time. Mrs. Toucinoe
even tried to beat her way through
the burning rear of the house, ana
the poor woman tore her hands try
ing to tear away the window screen,
and cut them, too. breaking in the
window. Her night gown was
scorched black and one shudders to
think what might have happened to
her in that wind had the scorch be-
come fame.
1T was the worst fifteen minutes
I've ever known in all my life-for
it wasn't more than that from the
minute those flames burst out before
the place was Quilted. And it was
awful. too, to hear her scream, awful
to see her fall from sheer weakness
in the snow, and more awful still to
hear her moaning, They're down
there burning to death. and we can't
get at them nor get them OUT"
This vivid description makes one
realize the agony and the bravery of
father and mother in that awful hour
and should make the sympathy of
the community flow even more read
lily in helpful ways toward this ar
flicted family of the community.

whip and the dogs sped toward Nome.
Out of Bluff. the driver encountered

Kasson left Bluff at 10 o'clock last
night and arrived early today. Ow-
Ing to poor telephone conditions, Kas-

miles east of Nome. Due to the
darkness and the blizzard. Kasson

Proof of Smoked Ham

That the proof of the smoked ham
is in the smell is the conclusion
reached by the wholesale meat pack
ers. as a result of years Of eXper-
fence. according to a story recently
published. This ham smelling bus
mess, moreover. as might be expect
ed, is of nature that, to become an
expert at it, requires years Of train
ing. A man experienced in this line
OF work, however, is able to test
1000 or 5000 hams a day, and in
some of the largest houses, where
many thousands are turned out daily,
there may be a regular corps of them
employed. Upon the infallibility Of
the Judgment OF these men, indeed,
tho reputation of such concerns
largely depends. Certainly there are
more ways of making a living than
tic average individual realizes. -

Court Asked To Open To Consumers
All Avenues OF Food Distribute,
Urge Modification of Pack
ers' Consent Decree in
Interest of Public

TI/HErHER the consuming II:
w public and producers OF
food articles shall have
available all channels Of food dis
tribution is the question raised In
proceedings recently Instituted IN
the Supreme Court Of the District
.of Columbia. The case involves
khe so-called packers consent de-
.cree of 1920, under which five OF
Ehe large packing companies agreed
to cease handling certain commoo-
tiles which are also handled by
wholesale grocers.
Since the decree became effect
i've certain growers and Gamers OF
fruits and vegetables who were not
parties to it have asked to have
it changed so that the packers
could continue to market thelr
products. These producers, cut OH
under the decree from distributing
through the packers, maintain that
distribution of their products to
the public is now restricted to
wholesale grocers. In other words,
one we'll established and efficient
method of reaching the consumer,
they hold, is closed to a large
number Of growers and Gamers OF
important articles Of food con-
sumption.
Two wholesale grocers' associa-
tions have opposed any modifica-
ton Of the decree. But SO strong
has been the demand for change
that the Attorney General some
time ago ordered a hearing before
a government committee repre-
senting the Departments. OF Justice,
Commerce and Agriculture, which
decided that the question OF mod
flying the decree should be decided
by the court. Last May the Court
of Appeals of the District of Col
umbia decided that the Gamers had
the right to be heard on their re-
quest that the decree be modified.
And in the pending case the Sup
rene Court Is now asked to decide.
not only whether the decree should
be modified, but also whether 1t
should remain in effect at all.

Freezing Will Not
Affect Anti-TOXin

Seattle, Wash. Feb. advised
that the antt-toxin sent to Nome for
use in the diphtheria epidemic there
was frozen on its arrival, DR.. G.. NJ.
MacGruder of the United States
Public Health Service expressed the
belief that the serum was still use
fui against diphtheria. He said the
only thing he feared was that some
of the containers might be broken.
in which case some of the serum
might be of no value.
Seattle, Wash, Feb. 2--Command-
ant J. V. Chase of teh uget Sound
navy yard, Bremerton. Wash, said
tonight he was instructed by the
navy department to outfit the mine
sweeper Swallow for a voyage to the
edge of the ice pack in the Boring
