Old Records Washed Away as Rainfall Continues Here

Juneau's dampness, precipitation or just plain rain has again stepped into the new record class.
 Since May 1 to noon today, or 81 days, Juneau has had 22.53 inch es of rainfall, 69 days with some pre- cipitation and only six days which can be classed as clear, according to the U. S. Weather Bureau. Com parisons with like periods have not been made because there has been nothing like it to compare with.
 But going back to the first of the year, the Bureau finds that every month in 1888 so far has had more than normal rainfall, June being tops" thus far, recording 8.91 inches against a normal of 3.92 inches. The total precipitation since the first of the year to noon today was 50.3l inches.
 The first 20 days of July, up to noon today, has seen a downpour of 5t46 inches compared with a nor nal for the entire month of 5 inches.

 Morning Disaster

BALTIMORE, Ohio, July 2O.-A premature dynamite explosion to- day killed eleven members of a crew of eighteen men blasting a water tunnel through solid rock near the Baltimore City Pumping Station.
 The explosion occurred shortly before the night shift left the workings.

 Seven of the eleven killed, were buried in debris. Others were brought to the surface, fatally in- jured, and died in the hospital.
 The seven survivors of the blast were severally injured.

all because he is interested in sports and time keeping.
 Lipp says he lost considerable sleep figuring out his first watch, for football, back in 1927 This watch had 75-minute face, en- abling timing straight through the four quarters, intermissions and time-outs. It proved so popular with colleges that Lipp went on figuring out other kinds of time pieces fol the Swiss watch makers to con- struct.
 His watches for knockouts and rounds in boxing have been accept ed as official by the national boxing board. The basketball watch ac- counts for play periods, time out and overtime.
 The latest of Joe's gadgets is an illuminated down recording box for night football A foundry fore man is struggling with castings for this invention which Lipr hoped to have ready for this years nocturnal games.
 Lipp says it is all fun so far as he is concerned. He sells the watches at prices he figures will break hin even, thus making them contribu- tions to sport.

OvERW0RK CATS;
 GROUP PROTESTS

LONDON, July 20-British ani- mai lovers took one look at their magazine, The Animals Friend, and raised such a holler over the cat scene in ''The Goldwyn Fol lies" the British board of film censors cut it out-but replaced it before the picture was shown to the public.
 In the scene, 300 cats rush into a room and overwhelm Adolphe Men jou as the grand finale to a com- edy song.
 The British magazine itself had no opinions but published report from Los Angeles organization which declared:
 From eight in the morning un- til seven at night the cats were worked were chased on to an office set by means of severe air hose the scene had to be re- peated over and over again. Many were frightened into a frenzy. By mid afternoon the poor animals were weary enough to lie still wherever they happened to drop"
 The censors relented after Sam uel Goldwyn cabled denial of cruelty, backed up by affidavits from the American S.P.CA. and the California State Humane So- ciety.

CHICAGO, July 20.-If someone were to tell Joe Lipp that table tennis or crocheting needed spe- cial type of stop watch he probably would suffer insomnia until he had figured out how to make one.
 Joe Lipp, head of a Chicago pa- per company. has designed watches for football, basketball, boxing and now blossoms out with a flip" watch that will record to a split second the finish time of any number of runners in track event.
 All one has to do with Joe'S flip watch is press a button as each run her crosses the line. Each equeeze makes the second hand tap dot of red ink on the dial for the of ficials to calculate time on the win ner, second, third and so forth.
