Saturday evenings storm which swept this state did little damage to farm crops here. However lightning did damage to the extent of about $500 when it struck the house owned by MT. and Mrs. Frank Haultner, which is situated east of the Berlin turnpike. Two large holes were torn in the roof and shingles were lifted off in several places. Clapboards were ripped from the house in two or three places. A large supporting beam in the cellar was split by the bolt which struck the house. The two bedrooms up stairs where MT. and Mrs. Haultner's two daughters were sleeping were considerably damaged. Plaster and paper were torn off the walls and the floors were splintered In 22veral sections but both girls escaped un- injured. An example of the queer way in which lightning works was left where a casing was partly torn from around a window upstairs, yet the window pane was unbroken. Floors in almost every room in the house were splintered in small places by the lightning.

time shooting and injuring Mer-
cedes Carmancha so that she died

CHART COVERING BOTTOM
OF SEA MADE AVAILABLE
COMPLETE MAP MADE
is WORK OF NAVAL
RESERVE OFFICER
DURING VOYAGE

Los ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 81.
A chart of the bottom Of the sea.
automatically and continuously
drawn during a voyage, is now
available to the Navy as result
of the work of Lieut.. Leo p. Del.
sasso, United States Naval Re-
serve. On shore Lieut.. Delsasso
is physicist at the University of
California, Southern branch. In
formation Just received from the
Navy Department tells of elabor-
ate tests Of his new automatic
depth-sounder conducted by Lieut..
Delsasso on board the u. S. S.
Maryland on its trip to Australia.
The apparatus follows previous
development in the idea Of send
ing sound impulse at high speed
from a ship to the ocean bottom,
and calculating by the time Of the
return echo how deep the water
is. Heretofore it has been necess
sary for an attendant to watch
operations and make constant
readings and calculations to be
sure Of safety.
The Delsasso apparatus, em-
ploying vacuum-tube amplifieation
along with marking devices, yields
/ a chart which not only advises the
navigator Of the depth az a given
time. but shows gradients, ap-
preach or recedenee Of shadows.
and in general give warning of
anything untoward in the briny
depths.
1t is hoped that further inn
proyements may enable the ap-
paratus, built In moro rugged
form, to be placed on the bridge
for convenient nne of the skipper.
Had such device been available
on the u. S. slestroyers, the Honda
disaster could have been avoided.
In this accident several VESSELS
were beached after . blind run
through water whose shall0wness
would certainly have been report

The Central Business and Shop
ping District


Free movement to the central
business and shopping district
concerns the entire community,
the housewife and the bank presi-
dent alike. Certain businesses
naturally seek locations in CEN
trail districts, which are accessible
to and commonly visited by per-
sons from the entire city and sur
rounding territory
Such are central banks, depart
ment stores, certain hotels and
principal theatres, the offices of
the local government, and to a
lesser extent automobile sales
rooms and speciality shops.
On account of the great num-
bers of people travelling to and
within this area each day, its side
walks should be broad. Retail
stores want traffic movement
facilitated, and traffic congestion
diminished, to protect the safety
and convenience of their custom
ers and employees, and to facili-
tate the trucking of the goods
they receive and deliver.
Conditions in the central busi-
ness district cannot be improved
over night. By-passing of through
traffic around the business dis
trict has proved effective for re-
lieving traffic congestion, but it
may be necessary to extend dead
end" street; or grade crossings
Of railroad tracks may need to be
eliminated, or new crossing con-
structed, or new bridges may be
desirable. The necessity for ex-
pensive undertakings may be
avoided or diminished by well
considered city plan.
With forethought a city may
save much Of the cost Of widen
ing streets, by requiring that new
structures be set back a given
distance from the street line. By
the time blocks are rebuilt the
city is able to obtain the land
needed for widening. without un-
necessarily paying for expensive
buildings.
Some light manufacturing or
other uses of property may de-
rive lite Of no special advantage
from being in the central business

from tho local club to the Inter
nations' Rotary Convention re-
Gently aeld at Denver, gave the
third and final installment Of his

ico ne had known fer years, yet
be did not appreciate their quail
tiles until he met them In Rotary.
DR.. Warren's talks were highly
appreciated by the club, and regret
was expressed that they were COM
pleted.
Mr.. Swink, Of Miami. was the
only guest present. In an inter
esing talk he stated that Key
West was the only city in Florida
he knew Of that had not lost lis
identity. He said, in other words,
that in Key West no one was so
busy that he could not accord the
out Of town visitor a courteous
welcome and entertain him to the
best of their ability.

FIVE HUNDRED CASES

MIAMI, Aug. 5.-Three boats,
five men and 500 cases of liquor
were taken into custody in Bis
cayne Bay at the entrance to the
estate of Arthur Curtis james
here early this morning.
The customs inspectors who
made the capture acted upon a
tip received from Bimini relative
to the wet goods that were being
smuggled out of the Bahama port,
according to information obtain
ed IN connection with the seizure.
This is considered one of the
biggest hauls made in some time,
and the eonfiscated booze, accord
ing to appraisements made, will
reach a high figure.
The men and vessels are being
held by the customs department
along with the liquor, which will
be placed in storage awaiting a

Warehouse Districts

Warehouse districts, under ideal
conditions, should be located di-
rectly between the water or rail-
road terminals and the manufac-
turing or commercial area which
they serve.
Too frequently, however, truck
ing to and from the terminal may
have to pass through the most
congested part of the central re-
tail business district. This is
neither economy nor common
sense. A good city plan is
means of insuring against a re-
petition of mistakes.
industrial Districts
In a well-planned city, residen-
tial development leaves industrial
districts free and unbroken for use
by industry. Light industries are
more concerned with trucking
facilities. and with sites accessible
to a large number of workers. A
city gets along much better when
homes md industry are kept sep
arate, but at the same time ac-
cessible to each other.
Produce Markets
The handling of perishable
food stuffs from their arrival in
a city by freight car or truck to
scattered retail stores Is 4 very
complex problem. If the dis
tribution is prompt and efficient
the people can obtain their food
fresher and at lower prices. A
well planned wholesale market is
usually the first essential. 1t per-
mits quick inspection of goods by
buyers, and cheap handling and
loading, without carriage delays.
Cold storage facilities should be
nearby.
