The heavy blow which swept the
entire coast Sunday afternoon was
accompanied by freak of nature in
Sea View, Va, neighborhood when
wind Of tornado fury swept a path
between ten and twelve yards across
the farm of Marion Scott, tenanted
by Emmett Griffith. The miniature
cyclone RACED a number of cow barns,
moved the main barn building on its
foundations ad scattered a row of fod-
der stacks which appeared to have
been directly in its path.
The damage is estimated ia have
amounted to several hundred dollars.
No other section of the county is
reported to have been visited by the
storm in such fury. The wind appar-
emily reached it's highest velocity a.

Quick action of a fellow-workman
probably saved the lives of two lines
men employed by the Eastern Shore
Gas & Electric Company while the
tic were working at Laurel, Del,
Sunday.
Robert Hudson and Sam Phillips, ot
Salisbury, were working on a pole at
the power plant when Hudson ACCT
IDENTIFY backed into a wire carrying
2600 volts of current. He was then
thrown into another wire of 1900
volts.
Seeing Hudson's plight, Wilson
Lank, the third workman threw .
switch cutting off the current Hud-
sons body dropped 10 feet to a con-
crete floor.
Hudson's neck and other parts of
his body were badly burned by the
electricity. The current was conduct
ed down his body to the toes, two of
which were bursted, it was said.
The current was conducted to Phil
lips body and he suffered burns of a
more minor nature.
The jar sustained in the fall to the
concrete also aided Hudson's recovery
from the shock by forcing expansion
of the lungs, it was explained.
The two men were taken to their
homes for treatment.

Throughout Talbot county the wheat
fields which were planted early are

together with the rains, have caused
the grain to take good start, and
the looking green and health. Some
farmers have only recently finished

good start, for the shoots are look

HEALTH DEPT.
DISCUSSES SIGHT
Gives Advice As To Proper Care
OF Eyes Advises Special
Training

The Health gnome who is unotfi-
cially connected with the State De.
partment of Health is Al collector OF
rhmes. He uses them as a minister
does his text--as a sort Of peg or
which he hangs his sermon. The
other day, from his favorite perch on
1.-The Directors desk, he began to talk
about the eyes.
We hear about drinking milk, eat
ing green vegetables, taking care OF
our teeth and about all sorts of other
things that will help to keep us well
and strong and they are very neces-
sary-but we rarely hear about the
eyes and the care they need. Now I'd
Ike to pass on to the children-and
the grown-ups, too, some good advice
that found in a News letter from
the Junior Committee for the Pre-
vehtien of Blindness. Part of it is in
rhyme and all of it breaches Saving
Sight Here are some of the lines:-
s. lis for sad little Sadie
Who never took care of her eyes,
So she hasn't the sight to read and
write
And she sits in the corner and cries.
rs for intelligent Ida
Whose glasses are shining and bright
And she keeps them on straight both
early and late
So she always has very good sight.
!. G is for gay little George
Who thinks that to read is great fun
But he everly tries to take care of
Ms eyes
II Is for happy young Harry
Who knows that 1t is foolish to wait
Il your eyes need good care, to the
doctor repair
Or you'll find it will soon be too late.
T tells about troublesome Tommy
who reads books late at night and
ruined his sight. Finally the letter
sums up the advice in plain prose in
this way:
Read with good light falling from
above your left shoulder.
Hold your book about fourteen
Inches from your eyes.
Always read with yotr head up.
Keep your books clean; a soilci
page is hard 10 read.
Avoid books printed in small type,
OF on glossy paper.
Rest your eyes frequently.
II your eyes ache, or if you have
trouble in seeing things distinctly
have your eyes examined by doctor
who has had special training in the
care Of the eyes.
Now think that all of that is
worth putting into pracice. So long,
he was gone again.

Field VIII Time Here

Field wilt Of potatoes takes q heavy
annual toll on the farms Of The north
west each year and farmers are
warned by H. K. Morris, plant path
Ologist Of the Montana Experiment
Station, to be on the lookout foE the
disease at this time OF the year The
first indications appear when the
plants are about II inches high. The
lower leaves begin to droop and die
and as the disease progresses the en-
tire plant shows these symptoms. Po-
tatoes on infected plants develop q
brownlsh discoloratiOn at the stem
end and often q conspicuous brown
ring appears just beneath the skin OF
the potato. There is no known cure
for field wilt The best method Of
control is to have a seed bed about
one-tenth the size OF the main field
and located at some distance from
other potatoes, so that disease-free
supply Of good seed may be had for

How to Avoid Burning

An ounce Of prevention Is worth

more forcefully than In the burning out
Of radio tubes. A simple measure to
eliminate, as far as practicable one OF
the wastes Of radio is proposed by the
manager of a prominent radio manu-
featuring company. An ordinary 40
watt lamp is all that Ia needed to con-
duct the operation. resulting often In
saving Of time and money and at 9TH
err times making assurance doubly
sure"
"Did you ever hear the story, I've
burned out five tubesf" Mr.. Manager
asked In discussing the matter with
group Of dealers. Nov there Is no
occasion for this happening. II, Of
course, may be possible because Of an
internal short in one Of the tubes be-
tween the grid or plate and the al
ament: or possibly through careless
ness In installing the receiver and con-
meeting the battery wires

PROFESSORS NAMED TO

Commission Of Three out state Edu-

Report September I

The state board OF education has
agreed upon three educators outside

the Milwaukee Normal school, Presi-
dent George H. Black OF the Washing
ton State Normal at Ellensburg. and
President o. H. Fisher Of the State
Normal at BeIlIngham, Wash, to Sc
lect the site for the new Eastern Mon
tana Normal school authorized by the
last legislature and to report their de-
cislon to the board September 1.
All Of the men have agreed to serve
on the state commission. It was
agreed by the board that every city
which seeks the location Of the normal
school shall deposit with the secretary
OF the board OF education a certified
check for $500 to guarantee payment
Of the expenses Of the commission as
provided by the act OF the legislature.
The law provides that the successful
city shall pay the entire expense in
Cured, hence, Il has been agreed that
checks OF unsuccessful cities will be
returned, as will the unused portion Of
the amount deposited by the successful
city.
Those In the race are Billings, Miles

The detector tube is using the same

possible as long as all three tubes are

the detector jack should be supplied
from the 45-volt tap. If soft tube
is to be used, reduce the voltage to
225z volts, or less.

on the first toroid coil. These are to
adapt the set to a long or short an

two terminals out to binding posts on

from one to the other as conditions
require more selective tuning, or great

The position OF the apparatus In lay
ing out the receiver Dashboard is not
critical. The coils may be placed side
by side without intercoupling or caus-
ing the receiver to become unstable,
due to their confined magnetic fields.
