After Being Hit
By Lightning

Lightning struck St. Paul's Luth-
eran church parsonage, about five
miles from Salisbury, last Friday
afternoon between ; and 4 o'clock
and set fire to the two-story frame
building which burned to the
ground.
Neighbors. who were called by
the father of the pastor, Rev. G.
H. L Lingle. who was not at home,
rushed to the scene and were able
to remove the furniture from the
lower floor but the flames were of
such proportions that nothing up
stairs was saved

I'LL NEW YORK

There's a new type of turnstile
on the new Eighth Avenue line.
It's manhigh and more-like the
revolving doors of hotels and office
buildings, but metal instead of
glass, with barely room for one
person to go through comfortably
80. Yet the Their day six playful
hoodlums were standing around an
obscure entrance. Two went
through together. And then, by
i miraculous quartet of contortions
believe it or not-four of them
compressed and piled themselves
through on one nickel, laughing
til they nearly doubled up and
stuck.

times that number. And we believe

this is due to the great depth of the
atmospheric canopy in these lati.
tudes. also to the complete freedom
from dust, smoke and vapor down

These observations will be con-
tinued until the winter night ends
In August and we should have some
very interesting new data and theo-

to all astronomers.
Work OF this kind makes the win

Revision of rules regulating ad-
mission Of attorneys to the bar
of the District Supreme Court, is
being strongly urged by many
members of the District Bar AS
sociation.
There has been no concrete
method proposed as a substitute
for the present method of admit
ting lawyers, but. the acceptance
address of president F. Regis Noel,
in which he urged Stricter quail
ficationS of candidates, has
started ideas to working.
Cost ASsailed
One lawyer yesterday expressed
apprehension over ne growing
expense of disbarments, and, de-
clining to allow his name to be
used, declared it an imposition to
require private counsel to appear
for the court in disbarment pro-
ceedingS when he is not COM
pensated for his time. He said:
"There is a board which ex-
,amines candidates for the bar,
and the bar association has no
part in selecting this committee
or outlining its responsibilities.
"The board is well paid in
fees for its labOrS, but in later
years when one of its approved
lawyers comes up for diSbar-
ment, it is the bar association,
through its grievance commit
tee, which washes the dirty
linen, and it is the bar aSsO-
citation which pays the costs.
At least the expense of disbar-
ment should be paid by the
examining board, since it was
the board which first admitted
the diSbarred attorney"

POWER OUTPUT.
RECORD SET
By International News Service

lnUcEHdIlOudl Nc"S ScEEICO
The largest percentage gain in
production of electric power over
the preceding year since mid
August is reported for the past
week.
Power output, which rose to
1886, ,275,000 kilowatt hours in
the week ended February 3, not
only topped the like 1888 weeks
1.454,913,000 by 1875 per cent,
but showed a sizeable expansion
over the preceding weeks total
of 1,610,542,000, according to the
Edison Electric Institute report
today.
Each week thus far in 1884
has shown a gain Of 9 per cent
or better over the comparable
1888 period while the best pre-
Ceding gain was 10.1 in the jan
uary 13 week. The January q
period recorded a 9.6 per cent
rise.
The comparison, although with
the low levels of early 1888 weeks
when industrial activity was at
the lowest ebb of the depression,
is strengthened by the fact that
each of the last four weeks has
also topped the corresponding
1882 period.

concern from writing insurance
policies on machines which they
finance.
SiFor years it has been the Gus
tim in the real estate business for
brokers to write insurance on I'M
proved property they sell and it
iSfsaid that virtually every broker
in the city Is a writing agent.
An investigation of the proposed
code is being made with a view to
combating its approval, as local
brokers' at least consider the writ
ing Of policies on property they
sell as a necessary means OF pro-
tecting the investments Of their
clients.
Added impetus to the building
industry is hoped for with the
statement of President Roosevelt
At a press conference yesterday
that the proposal of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, to pro-
vide loans for modernization Of
homes, has been submitted to the
Treasury and the latter is eX-
nected to make its report some
time today.
No developments have been
seen, however, in a recent pro-
posal of the National Home and
Community Builders Association
to place an exemption Of $4,000 on
the tax assessment Of dwellings
used for homestead purposes.
Now that we have a Constitu.
ton Avenue, and, under a bill
pending in Congress, may change
b. Street to independence Avenue,
there are some who think that
Pennsylvania Avenue should be
changed to Recovery Avenue.
Perhaps it would not be out OF
the line of this sentiment to deSig-
nate a Repeal Park somewhere.

1895 Sherman Ave. N. W., now
Occupied by the Barry-Pate Com
pany, Chevrolet dealers.
The Barry-Pate outfit will move
into the Connecticut Avenue place
vacated by the Warfield Com
psny.

concluded that he is seeking quar-.

Considerable breath-holding is
taking place these ays while Dis
trict Attorney Leslie Garnett is
making up his mind about some
additional appointments to his
staff. 1t is reported that Mr..
Garnett's task is made more diff
cult by the fact that many Of
his most desirs BILE applicants lack
sufficient trial experience to saS-
isfy him, and experience is what
Mr.. Tarnett first requires.
Along these lines it is recalled
that many of the most proficient
aides of Leo A. Rover, Mr.. Gar
nett'S predecessor, had no actual
trial experience but were appoint
ed by Rover after they had been
brought up" in his 'ccfice clerical
staff.

ming mate, Milford Schwartz,
were both clerks, and both
Charles Murray and John Fitz-

Going outside the District At
torney's staff of aides, Walter
English, who learned his best law
under th4 tutelage of Justice
Wendell P. Stafford, had no diff
ficulty in getting along when he
went into private practice, and
most recently Philip Biggins, one

office. has made good without
going the assistant prosecutorship
