Long List of "Nevers"
Not Hard to Complete

The story of an American back
woodsman who had never seen a
horse or heard of prohibition has
no monopoly on "Nevers." Great
Britain has lots of "Nevers." The
late Lord Oxford never used a tel
ephone. He was probably the only
public man of these days who could
say the same. People brought to
Scotland from st. Kilda had never
seen a train, a motor car, or a
horse. This is not nearly so strange
as the fact that, three years ago, a
pretty Lincolnshire girl of sew
enteen, who had lived all her life
In a village in the Wolds, took her
first journey by train to Cleethorpes.
Also she had never ridden in a
motor car. An old lady of Long
ford near. Nuneaton. who died not
long ago at the age Of one hundred,
had never seen the sea, and never
been more than twenty-five miles
from her home. A girl of twenty,
who lives twenty miles from Ply
mouth, has never visited that town
or any place on the cOast.-LOndon

OVERCOME AT
LIGHTNING FIRE
Catholic Priest Applies Arti-
fetal Respiration Pending
Doctors Arrival
ESTIMATE $4,000 LOSS

The life of a Methodist minister,
who was overcome by smoke while
fighting a $4,000 fire at Ridgely,
Md, Friday, was saved by a Cath
Ole priest, who applied artificial
respiration pending the arrival of a
doctor. The fire, which destroyed
two incubator houses and 10000
eggs at the Summit Poultry Farm,
broke out at $50 o'clock when both
the owner, Harvey A. Holsinger,
and the caretaker were absent. It's
origin is unknown. The Rev. Roy
Tawes, pastor of the M. E. Church,
one of the most active members of
the Ridgely Fire Company, was
among the first to arrive at the
scene of the fire. In fighting the
flames he and Irving Blockston,
another fireman, were overcome by
smoke. Mr.. Tawes had inhaled so
much smoke that he was in a crit
icaI condition and if it had not
been for the efficient first aid work
of the Rev. James o. Reilly, pastor
of st. Benedict's Catholic Church,
he would have died, according to
DR.. James Fifer, who later treated
him. Both men were unconscious
for almost an hour The Ridgely
f1remen, aided by the company
from Denton, prevented the spread
of the flames to a number of can
ming and basket factories in the
vicinity. A steady rain aided the
firemen in their efforts. The dam
age to the two incubator houses
and the machinery is estimated at
SIS, 900 which is believed to be COW
cred by insurance. The incubators
contained 10000 eggs which would
have been Matched and shipped the
early part of this week.

GROWTH OF BLUE SUNOCO
Founded on Old Saying, Build a
Better Mouse Trap and the World
Will Beat a Path to Your Door"

Rather famous student of eco
nomic trends recently made a re-
mark which seems to have made a
deep impression on me and which [
believe every business executive
would do well to keep in mind, !"
says Mr.. John B. Hurst, local
branch manager of the Sun Oil
Company. "And here" he contin-
ued, lis the remark: the year
stones of history are also the grave
stones of those merchants who
have failed to keep faith with the
publicp Believe me, this man has
crowded a wealth of meaning in
this one sentence! Blue Sunoco's
growth has not been magical. In
stead it has merely been founded
on that old saying, build a better
mouse trap and the world will beat
a path to your door, A little over
five years ago when Blue Sunoco
was first introduced, it was just
another gasoline as far as the pub
lie was concerned. But since that
time, its unfailing superior quality
has made it one of America S
greatest gasolines, preferred by
over a million motorists.

"Stationers" Chalk Up
Final Score on Author

Old Burton of the Anatomy of
Melancholy" has lain for many a
day far beyond the reach of any
of the moral irritations that might
increase his acquaintance with the
subject of his study, but presum-
ably he would have been far from
pleased with the very handsome edi-
ton of his work which Routledge
has produced in one volume at a
guinea, writes a cOlumnist in the
Manchester Guardian. For Burton
did not want to write in English
at all; his glance was back toward
the Middle ages, and he complains
bitterly that "Our mercenary sta
tioners" would not let him write in
Latin: 1T was not mine intent to
prostitute my muse in English . e.
but to expose this more contract in
Latin if l could have got it printed.
Any scurrile pamphlet is welcome
to our mercenary stationers in Eng
lish, they print all but in
Latin they will not deal" HOwev-
er, he outwitted them to some ex-
tent, for though they forced him to
write in English-and a very quaint
characteristic, and vigorous English
it was-he packed the Anatomy
richly full Of Latin quotations. But
this edition has turned every one OF
the quotations and extracts into
English-sO that at long last, the
mercenary stationers have got the
whole of their own way.

FINDS COPY LORDS PRAYER
Horace TiIghman Comes Across
Old Family Effects

Mr.. Horace Tllghman of = this
town in looking over some family
effects recently came across a writ
ten copy of the Lords Prayer com
posed July 4, 1928. He has sub
mitted it to The Times Office for
publication and we publish it in
full as follows:
Thou to the mercy seat our souls
gather, To Go our duty unto thee
Our Father,
To whom all praise, all honor could
be given, For thou art the great
God
Who art in heaven,
Thou, by thy wisdom, ruIst the
worlds whole frame, Forever,
/ therefore
Hallowed be thy name;
Let never more delays divide US
from Thy glorious grace, but let
Thy kingdom come;
/ Let thy command opposed be, by
none, But thy good pleasure and
Thy viii be done.
And let our promptness to obey be
even The very same
On earth as it is in heaven;
Then for our souls, o Lord, we also
pray Thou would'st be pleased to
Give US this day
The food of life, wherewith our
j souls are fed, sufficient raiment,
and
Our daily bread;
With every needful thing, do thou
relieve US, And to thy mercy pity
And forgive US
All our misdeeds, for Him, whom,
thou did'st please To make an
offering for
Our trespasses
And for as much, o Lord, as we
believe That thou wilt pardon us
AS we forgive,
Let that love teach, wherewith thou
dost acquaint us To pardon all
Those who trespass against us,
And though, sometimes, thou find'st
we have forgot This love to thee,
yet help
And lead us not
Through soul or body's want to
desperation, Nor let earth's gain
drive us
into temptation.
Let not the soul of any true
believer. Fall in the time of trial
But deliver,
Yes, save them from the malice of
the devil, And both in life and
death, keep
Us from evil;
Thus pray we, Lord, for that of
thee, from whom This may be
had
For Thine is the kingdom,
This world is of Thy work, its
wondrous story To thee belongs
The power and the glory
And all Thy wondrous works have
ended never, but will remain
forever and
Forever,
Thus we poor creatures would
confess again, And thus would
say eternally
Amen.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Aug. G. A dozen Sea Scouts under the leadership of Gus Ericksen, 19 years old, are preparing to leave for Juneau in their 33-foot combina- tion motor and sail boat after a stormy trip from Seattle via Can adian ports.
 The Sea Scouts are not afraid to navigate the winding inside pass ages at night.
 The boat is houseless and the boys use tarpaulin as protection from the rain.

 Barque Is Sighted
 It was on December 3, 1872, that the British barque Del Gratia came upon the brigantine Maria Celeste headed for the Strait of Gibralter under full sail. The curious movement of the ship led to the belief that no one was in charge, so Captain Boyes of the Le Gratia boarded her.
 The ship was deserted. The cargo was intact, the boat was sound, there was no water in the hold and the spars, ropes and sails were aloft and unchanged. No small boats were missing.

O'MALLEY GIVES EXTENSION FOR
 TWO DISTRICTS
Open Season Extended in This Vicinity for Three
 Days by Commissioner

With encouraging reports show ing a steadily increasing run of pink salmon entering inner waters through Cross Sound and Icy Strait, United States Commission CT of Fisheries Henry OMalley today wired Washington requesting the Department of Commerce to issue supplemental regulation ex- tending the open season on com mercial fishing in the eastern end of the Icy Strait district and northern end of Lynn Canal dis trict three days.
 This action was taken almost solely as a relief measure to aid local fishermen and cannery work CTS whose earnings have been ser iously curtailed this year by the unusual lateness of the main pink run.
 May Extend Others
 The run coming through Cross Sound is showing a material in- crease every day. Official reports, following a personal survey in the western end of Icy Strait by Agent Dennis Vim, Asst. Agent Capt. M. J. O'Connor and Dr. F. A. Da- vidson of the Bureaus Biological staff, said the peaks of the run had not yet been attained in Cross Sound. With all evidences showing a present abundance of fish, the Commissioner promptly acted to extend the season in the districts which would otherwise have closed on August 6, and Aug ust TO-
 It is known that similar ex- tensions will probably be given the remair ing Southeast Alaska dis tricts if the run conditions con- tinue sufficiently favorable to jus tify that action. No extensions
