BIRCH ELECTED
TO HONORARY FRATERNITY

Mr.. Raymond Birch has been
honored by election to Sigma X, the
national scientific honorary fra
ternity This recognition was made
by the Ohio State University chapter
of the fraternity, in recognition OF
his recent mplishments in ce-
ramic research For over a year
Mr.. Birch has been engaged in
studies which have led to the solu-
ton of one of the most troublesome
of brick manufacturing problems.
This work will be the subject of ar
address he will deliver before the
Ohio Ceramic Industries association
at Columbus, this week, and has
been discussed by Mr. Birch in the
April number of two magazines,
."The Journal of the American Ce-
ramic Society,"" and Brick and Clay
Record"
The cracking of brick in the
presses which form them has been
found to be due to air enclosed with
the clay and the application of a
vacuum has been found by Mr..
Birch, to be the means of solving
the trouble. If machinery manufac-
turers are able to incorporate the
vacuum principle in their new press
es, the result will be greatly i'm
proved brick, probably adapted for
paving. The leading clay products
equipment companies will be repre-
sented at the Columbus meeting, for
a discussion of the new develop
ments.
Mr.. Birch is son of Mrs Rosa
NJ. Fouts of this place.
Young Girl Dies From Burns
AS the result of burns sustained
the latter part of March when her
dress caught fire from an open CRATE,
Jessie Griffin, aged IS, of Zanes-
vile, died Saturday, May 10, at
Good Samaritan hospital where she
had been since the accident. 1t is
stated that she had been getting
along reasonably well, and those in
charge had felt confident of her re-
covery, but sudden and unexpected
turn for the worse came late Fri
day, her death following in a few
hours.
The deceased was daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Griffin or
GAINESVILLE. At the time of the acci-
dent which caused her death, her
father was painfully burned in at
tempting to rescue her. Both were
taken to the hospital, but the father
was soon dismissed. Surviving, be-
sides the parents, are several broth
ers and sisters of the home. The
young woman was a granddaughter
of the late John 4Iorris of McCon-
nelsville. Her grandmother Mrs.
Morris resides here.
The body was brought Sunday to
McConnelsville, and on Tuesday af-
ternoon funeral services were held
at the Main Street Church of Christ,
conducted by Rev. e. F. Kendle.
Burial was made in the McConnels-
vile cemetery.

Murray Bay first welcomed the Tafts

was q Judge of the Circuit Court for
Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee and
Indiana. The late Chief Justice and

family, lived In Chamand's Pension,
