MAN KILLED BY
LIGHTNING BOLT
NEAR PRESCOTT

PRESCOTT - Jesus Navarte, 80
years old, of Ash Fork, was killed
instantly at 2:30 o'clock Saturday
afternoon at Cedar Glade when he
was struck by a bolt of lightning
that followed a barbed wire fence.
Salvador Colwell, who was stand
ing near Navarte, was knocked to
the ground and stunned by the bolt,
but he did not suffer serious in
juries.
Navarte was climbing through
the fence when he was killed. His
companion was knocked to the
ground an instant before he would
have touched the bolt-conducting
wire. The fatality resulted during
a general electrical storm in north
ern, Arizona.
Sporadic summer showers, which
have been coming since July l but
without effect so far as breaking
the heat wave was concerned, de-
scended in full force on Prescott
and vicinity Saturday afternoon,
and reduced the temperature to the
customary rainy season levels. Re-
ports of heavy rains with the usual
accompaniment of lightning from
the mountains for miles around
have been received.
For an hour the cutters ran curb
high with water from the sudden
and intense precipitation. A flag
pole atop a hotel was struck by
lightning and hurled across the
street, but no other damage was
reported.
The Prescott national forest,
which has fought and conquered
10 small fires this summer, well
comes the rain as a factor in di-
the fire hazard.

Much has, been said and written
about the snake dance, which an

of Winslow. So far, however, there
has been nothing said, or written
on the Christianized Indians side

RACE INTEGRITY LAW
CHANGES PROPOSED
Drastic Measure, Carrying Prison
Term for Violation. introduced
in Virginia Senate.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, January 26.-An-
other racial integrity law, stronger
than that heretofore offered, came to
tore in the Senate yesterday when
Senators Early, Jeffries, Layman.
Woodson, Goode. Downing and
Buchanan presented a measure that
claSsitieS the Caucasian as white, the
Malay as brown, the Negro as black,
the Monaghan as yellow and the
Indian as red. The law directs that
no clerk shall issue marriage license
to any person OF mixed blood, regard
less of the race, to marry any white
person. and white person IS
defined as one who has no
trace of admixture Of the blood Of any
of the races named as being other
than white. All persons who are not
white are clasSed as colored under
the law.
This bill has caused much worry
and humiliation in Virginia, where
persons who have oeen parading
themselves as white and who have
held themselves aloof from the
negroes, have been denied admission
TO the schools as white. Many are
Indian in extraction and they claim
to be Indian In every way and they
have gone to the courts to have their
status defined. The mere fact that
they have been rebuffed by the school
authorities does not deter them in the
fight they are making for their racial
integrity.
If any person marrieS in this State
and the man or woman is other than
white. the offenders are to be
prosecuted under the laws on mis-
cegenation and penitentiary terms are
provided for such attractions Of the
law. The bill went to the committee
for courts of justice for consideration.

The action of Sir Alfred is a climax

nominal leader of the party because
of his age and elevation to the House

BOOK REVIEW
New Edition of Dr.. AIlerton Cush.
 mans Chemistry and Civilization"


 The Patriot is always interested in the product of its subscribers and friends, whether that product is a mousetrap. a bumper crop, or a book
 W hen IL IS book at once 50 learn ed and so diverting as Dr. Allerton Cushman's Chemistry and Civilian tion," anything in the nature of a review of it Is rather privilege to the reader than an honor to the writer.
 This volume, first published by F. r. Dutton, New York, in 1920, has just gone into new edition, with many revisions, a new preface, and the substitution of one chapter, Mod ern Concepts of Matter and Energy for certain facts in the first edition that are no longer up to date.
 The theme of the book is chemistry in the service of man, and so free is 1t from teehnicalities on the one hand and of pedantry on the other that it is delightful reading for the laity as well as for the scientific mind ed.
 Indeed. Dr. Cushman urges upon those preparing themselves for posi-. tions the general study of chemistry as no more difficult than stenography and equally useful in a world that needs more chemists.
 The thread of history on which the developments of the science of chem. istry are strung gives sequence and force to matter that would otherwise be confusing to the untutored.
 Ages before man appeared on thi: planet, chemistry was at work pre- pairing a place for him" is sentenc, to stimulate a zest for what follows and this interest is upheld through out the l67 pages of the book. Or the human side is the relationship Oi all the great men, through who's, mastery and mediumship, chemistry has added to human knowledge ant to human development. while on tn, scientific side is an absorbing rela ton to life of all technical facts.
 Do you know that Concord, \. H. was once called Rumford, and tha one of the earliest and most distin guished chemists, Benjamin Thomp son, took his title of Count Rumfor, from this village when, in l79l h, was made Count of the Holy Ro man Empire No less a celebrity thar Sir Humphry Davy twho in l799 ac cidentally discovered laughing gas was honored by this young Amerieal chemist, and made director of a ney research institution just established bv him. In this institution began series of events, with the developmen of which our progress, even our lives are to this day intimately connected Scientific facts were, in those days on the very brink of discovery. Un discovered laws of nature were al most beckoning to man to diseove them"
 To give adequate mention of tn personalities related to chemistry an it's development and influence, as men toned in these pages. would be i'm possible. Those best known to tn modern general reader are perhap. Darwin. Pasteur. and Mme.

entire war indemnity paid by France to Germany in 1870. Through chemi- cal research this humanitarian cured the silk worm disease, which threaten ed his country's chief industry; he saved Che vineyards Of traneei he developed the sterilization of foods and wounds and in so doing saved eouRtless millions of human beings; and. finally, he controlled that most hideous Of diseases, rabies.
 But readable as these historical aspects of Che subject are they are faH surpassed ia interest by the facts and experiences and developments of the field of chemistry in its purely scientific aspect.
 One can but scrape the surface of the wealth of enlightenment Go be found here. If we are ever to know anything about matter. the source, and the causation of life, with all that that signifies the chemist believes that 1t will be through the atom and the meleeule. The importance of the world of the very small' can hardly be overstated. Here on this subject Is much of superficial interest, reaching to fundamental truth. Reflect that billions and billions of molecules might be continually leaving this planet and be no more missed than if one should throw a tumbler full of water out of the ocean.
 Some hint of the wonders revealed in this 'infra world" is given in the following:
 Atoms and molecules with other particles scarcely known by name to the average reader) furnish the stuf of which we are made. Though all too tiny for the human eye to see, their energies are so vast that man is enabled to measure, weigh and count them with the same accuracy on their planes as is achieved by as tronomy in measuring Bertelgeuse and Myra. Here Is the significance of the insignificant with a vengeance. Billions and billions of these atoms might be flying of into space for ever and no man be sensible Of it any more than in casting away out of the ocean cup of water. Consider how very little effect that would have and. vet, there are so many molecules in H tumbler of water that. if il were pa-sible to label each one, and then N44A tNAr AuiAHttl III 1A N"NNt N-+Nf with all the water of the earth, it would then be impossible to dip up a portion of water anywhere without re covering one thousand of these mark ed molecules.
 lf you want mystery and wonders and exttavagances here is the realm of them. a realm so thrilling and so inexhaustible as to outrun all others.
 A scott of excerpts equally inter esting with these, each and all en- thraliing even from the popular view point. but. to excite interest, one eN- ample is as good as many; and the scope of this work (outlined Tn so few and such interesting pagesl, for bids any attempt to measure it.
 \ birds-eye view of this most eX- citing of sciences from Demoeritus four hundred years before Christ up to the day before yesterday Is what this book affords. It's service to man, its contribution to civilization, is its theme. And all along fl is so imbued with imagination and creative know ledge as Go maintain the interest sup posed Co b2 cngendered only by tic- ton.

Thanksgiving for Grandma" Emma
Mcmahon today means also the cele-
bration Of her 105th year. Mrs. Nc
Mahon, who despite her years works
every day repairing garments in
the Good Will industries here, de-
clared she has much to be thankful
for on her birthday today and re-
counted some Of her early expert
ences as proof.
Grandma Mcmahon came to
America at the age Of 10 months
with her parents, Captain and Mrs.
William Ward from their home in
Liverpool, England. The family
settled on the Little Red River, Wis.
south of Milwaukee.
At the age of three, Mrs. McMa-
hon saw her family murdered by a
band of marauding Sioux Indians.
She was taken captive and only
saved from death by a squaw whose
child had died. She lived with the
Indians until she was seven when
she escaped with a white woman
who had been taken captive in
raid.
Recently, Mrs. Mcmahon refused
