LIGHTNING BOLT KILLS COW
But Seven Others Were Saved
From Fire at Denton, Md.

Stunned and his foot trapped
under the body Of the COW when
had Just been killed by lightning,
Robert Dulin, a farmer two miles
north of Denton, late Sunday af-
ternoon managed to free himself
from the animal in time to save
seven other cows he had been milk
ing from flames that destroyed the
barn. Dulin had finished with all
of the other cows during the storm
Sunday afternoon and was milking
the last one when 2 bolt of light
ming struck the animal, killing her
instantly. The bolt tore the milk
pail out of Dulin's hand and the
cows body fell on the farmers S
right foot. Dulin called for help
when he recovered sufficiently from
the shock Of the bolt, and saw the
barn ablaze. After some effort he
managed to pull his foot from his
shoe beneath the animals body.
By this time his wife, who had
heard his cries, reached the barn
and the two managed to get all of
the other cows out. The flames,
by this time, gained such headway
that little could be done to save
the building. A large quantity of
hay and farm implements were de-
stroyed. The loss was put at about
$4,000.

Counting the J0bless

The u. S. Senate has passed
a bill providing for a census
of the unemployed. These
people for whom our indus
trial system has been able to
find no place, constitute the
biggest question mark of
modern life. We quite agree
with the Milford Chronicle.
'"The country needs to know
how many there are of them,
where they are located, and
what skill they have which we
have somehow failed to util-
ize. The government collects
great volumes of statistics
less essential than these facts.
More important than almost
anything else is this question
of the people for whom our
industrial system fails to pro-
vide.
''The country has much pro-
ductive power that is not be
ing used. 1t is said that even
during the boom times of
1929, several million were out
of work. At all times many
elderly people are unable to
find jobs. Many married wo-
men would take part time
jobs if they could find them.
If all this unused productive
power could be harnessed and
put to work the American
people could produce a much
greater supply of the neces-
saries and luxuries of life.
"Our scientists utilize cleo
trio and steam power with
marvellous skill. If there are
any leaks in the operation Of
their machines, they discover
and correct them. But here
we have all this vast reserve
of human power lying idle.
'If this census Of the unem-
ployed is taken, let US hope
that practical use will be made
of it. 1t is a common thing
to carry on research inquiries
into various conditions need
ing remedy, to print the re-
suits in formidable reports,
and stick the copies away on
library shelves where they ac-
cumulate dust and proouce no
action. The facts about un-
employment should not be so
neglected. 1t is a problem as
menacing as an invading
army threatening war. 1t can
not be forgotten while our ma
ton sleeps on in peace, OF
plays its games and enjoys its
sports"

terly cold, so that fewer towns
people than usual were abroad,
and as the hour was only mid
night the regular crowd Of night
working customers had not yet
assembled. None Of the counter
stools was occupied, so that all OF

seats together, In long and noisy
row.
Tony Stellicci, the young Chef"
TO whom the acquaintanceships he
formed among the patrons were
far more sustaining than all the
food in the place, chose to take
their orders himself, waving the
inevitably aderoidal waiter away
from such intimate contact with
the elite. Although he knew that
each Of the crowd would most as
suredly call for the traditional
hanmburgers and coffee, he in
quired and received the informa-
ton, person by person down the
long line, with poise and tone
which would have graced a far
more pretentious board.
Having served with that dis
patch which characteriZes lunch
counters and Is equaled nowhere
else in the world, Tony leaned on
the cash register and looked affec-
tionately upon the social cream Of
the nights business. At Is Tony
found life good. He had nice
job, where he met people; al
though his mother was dead he
managed to maintain a comfort
able home for his semi-invalid
father: he had friends and the
endless variety Of suburban and

their engines were still turning
over. Nor did he know that while
four men crossed the sidewalk to-
ward the restaurant, man re-
NAMED at the wheel Of each car
and still another man had taken
shelter In doorway at the street
intersection, a dozen PAGES away.
The four entered the restaurant,
