five to eight hours a day to such
occupations as landscape garden

road building. In the picture above
the patients are mixing cement for
the foundation of new building for
the camp. A physician checks each
mans health, and his rehabilitation
schedule is built around his indi

GLASS BLOWERS IN SMYRNA
AWARD PRIZES

The Glass Blowers finished up
their work here on Saturday even
ing having given two exhibitions
each day since Tuesday. The week
was a successful one to the troupe
and one of the decided pleasures to
our people who went to witness
their delicate work. The prizes
awarded each day excited some in
terest on the part of those who
pressed forward their friends in the
contest. The vote for the most
popular was awarded. as it was
supposed it would be, to Miss Elva
Carrow; the most handsome Miss,
under the age of 16 years, to Miss
Nan Spruance; the homeliest man,
to P. P. Collins; the prettiest baby,
to A. Baynard Fowler. These
prizes were considered worth hav-
ing as ornaments, and there was
some rivalry in obtaining them.
The company expressed themselves
much pleased with Smyrna, not
only with the patronage received,
but with the interest manifested in
watching their movements in form
ing the molten glass. Madam An
derson was especially pleased with
the gentlemanly demeanor of the
male visitors, not hearing an oath
nor disturbed by rude conduct. The
troupe left here on Monday for

LAST SUNDAY, FIRST SUNDAY
OF WINTER

Last Sunday was the first Sum-
day of the present winter, and if
those that are to follow can beat
it for unpleasantness, to use a
slang expression, "they will have to
get up early in the morning" The
three proceeding days had been
decidedly cold and blustery, the
mercury each morning recording
18 degrees. Sunday morning the
mercury had dropped down to IA
degrees, with driving Northeast
snow storm, that sent the chill,
piercing wind into every crevice
and gave both man and beast an
extra shiver. The snow abated
after the early morning, but the
wind ragged fiercely throughout the
day and night, and but few people
ventured out of their homes who
did not have to. There was a COM
parative handful of people at any
of the churches, the attendants at
one numbering only four. The
snow storm covered wide extent
of territory, reaching as far South
as Alabama.

A DELAWARE STUDENT
DROWNED

Fred Dilworth, student at
Swarthmore College, was drowned
Saturday afternoon while skating
with a number of other students
on pond near the college. 1t is
stated that he ATTEMPTED to rescue
a young lady who broke through
the dee. The young lady was res
cued, but Dilworth was carried un-
der the ice and his body was not
recovered until nearly three hours
afterwards. He was about 20
years of ag and his home is in Gen.
treville, Delaware. In the excite
ment to rescue those who broke
through the ice several others
barely escaped drowning.

The roads running East and
West were considerably embarked
by the snow drifts of Sunday and
yesterday.
The cold weather, which set in a
week ago, largely suspended me-
chanical operations, especially
house building.
The protracted meeting which
the Rev. G. S. Conaway has been
conducting at Friendship Church
came to close last week, by rea-
son of the severe weather. Some
thirty or more persons professed
conversion.
Smyrna creek has been frozen
over the past several days. The
ice in the Delaware at Philadel-
phia has ben SO heavy as to inter-
fere with the ferry boats. The in
dications this morning are for
mlder weather.
The steamer Tygert in conse-
quence of the heavy weather on
Monday night did not reach Phila-
delphia until yesterday, the delay
causing her to make a trip down
and up again today. She will
leave Philadelphia on her regular
schedule time Thursday, to-mor-
row.

The merry jingle of the sleigh
bells, charm to the young, was
heard on the streets on Monday,
but the sleighing was not good,
the snow being badly drifted. The
fall, besides, was only about four
inches, but the additional fall yes
terday of about the same quantity
will doubtless prolong and add
largely to the sport.
The Smyrna Band of Hope is in
active preparation for the enter
tainment to be given on Friday
evening next at the Town Hall.
There will be no postponement on
account of the weather. 1t is hop
ed all who possibly can, will give
the encouragement of their pres
ence. The members of the Bank
and those in charge will very much
appreciate a large audience. Pro-
ceeds are to be used for the benefit
of tn Band and in Temperance
work.
TIL schools are having the same
trouble this winter as last over a
deficiency of heat on cold windy
days; that is, those on the wind
ward side of the building. but a
satisfactory remedy has been found
in one Of them at least by putting
in stove to make up for the de-
flciency of the cellar heater. 1t
might be economy to do this for
all and dispense with the cellar
heaters, which seem willing to put
in their god work only when the
weather is quite calm.

at the residence of her mother,
Mrs. Rebecca Williams, residing
near town, on Friday last, and was
buried on Monday afternoon at
Bethel Church, near Moorton, the

eral services were conducted at the
residence by Rev. j. B. Quigg, in
connection with which were two
appropriate selections of music,
very effectively rendered. The de-
ceased was a young lady of more
than usual gentleness and amiabil-
ity, within a few months of her
18th birthday. Her mother has
the sympathy of the community in
her great bereavement. The de-
ceased had been in delicate health
for several vars from an organic
affection of the heart, to which were
added in her last illness both rheu-
matism and pneumonia.

GAS
ANTID0TE IS
REPORTED

KANSAS CITY, April 16
Q.N.S0.-Accidental carbon mon
oxide death" may have to take q
holiday before long, 1t was indi-
Gated today, as medical scientists
reported discovery of a new type
of antidote for the poison-already
used with rs per cent success on
small animals.
A chemical compound, called
t'hexahydroxyferric chloride" does
the trick. the American Chemical
Society was told at its annual
meeting here by Drs. Samuel and
Joseph Setter. of the school OF
medicine, University Of Oklahoma.
Three Out Of FOur Recover
They injected the drug into the
peritoneal cavities Of rats which
had been poisoned by coal gas or
purse carbon monoxide, they said,
and three out of every four re
covered. When similarly poisoned
rats were treated only with oxygen,
but one out of three was saved
from death.
Whether the discovery will have
practical application for man de-
ponds on successful tests with
larger animals, the pharmacolo-
gists indicated.
They already have developed
similar compounds, however,
which are slower and less irritatr
ing in action and "can be admin
istered to dogs without marked
irritation" they reported.
Explain New Compound
Explaining the action of the new
compound. the Drs. SETTER said:
"The normal carrying agent
for oxygen in the animal body
Is the red cOlOring matter of the
blood, hemOglObin. The oxygen
unites with this pigment and is
then released to the various It's
sues as the blood courses
through them.
SIN carbon mOnOxide poison.
ing the carbon mOnoxide has
united with the hem0glObin, for
which 1t has q greater affinity
than does oxygen. Consequently,
the hemOgIObin is rendered in
capable of transporting oxygen
and the tissues are deprived of
this vital substance"

JERUSALEM, June (Palcor
Agency With irregular shooting still
widespread, the Palestine government
today took action to combat the in
filtration Of guns and ammunition by
strengthening the frontier corps at all
strategic points believed to be used by
gun smugglers.
Two Jewish youths were injured last
night, neither seriously, during a gun
battle that was started when shots
were fired from some Arab groves on
the Jewish Shapiro quarter on the
boundary between Jaffa and Tel Aviv.
Several young Jews returned the fire
until the police arrived TO train their
guns on the attackers.
Emil Abdullah of Transjordan has
invited the Arab Supreme Committee
to visit him in Amman presumably
to discuss the matters which he took
up yesterday in a lengthy conversation

Highlanders, reinforced with tanks
and machine guns, conducted a
search through an Arab village near
Tel Mond this morning after l,700
trees had been destroyed in one Of the
groves of the Jewish settlement. The
vandals were traced to the Arab village

SOVIET ENEMIES
WARNEDBY PRESS
Elimination of Class Bars
Not Benign Move,
Says PraVda.
BY the Associated Press

by the ASSOClhLeo fEeSS.
MOSCOW, June 5.-The official
press served warning TO enemies Of the
Soviet state today that the gradual
elimination Of class bars in Soviet
Russia does not mean the govern
ment is becoming benign"
The Communist party newspaper
Pravda said a firm hand is required
especially to eliminate "the Trotzky
reptiles" cautioning Communists that
to be generous is to make a serious
mistake.
The warning was accompanied by
an announcement that an all-union
congress of the SovietS will be con-
voked to approve new Soviet con-
Stitution drawn up under the personal
supervision Of Joseph Stain, govern
ment leader.
Pravda described the constitution as
"the most democratic in the world"
1t said the document will have
clear international as well as domestic
significance"
Every worker who reads it, the
newspaper declared, will see what has
been obtained by the workers class in
Soviet Russia and what can be OBJ
tanned by the proletariat of any coun-
try upon the overthrow of the capi-
tahsts."
The constitution will establish a
democratic system of voting Measures
letting down class bars in the matters
Of education and employment have
been enacted in anticipation Of its
passage.
