Through Trains Detoured On
Account OF High Waters

Floods throughout the Ohio River
valley has resulted in the detouring
Of several passenger trains over the
Baltimore and Ohio.
Transportation was paralyzed on
both sides Of the Ohio River in West
Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana
Other trains have been operating be-
hind scheduled time to some extent
In the Pittsburgh area flood waters
were causing much damage and hun
dreds Of people were made homeless.
In an effort to retard the flood waters
in Pittsburgh, the flood control dam
near Somertield, Pa, which backs the
waters of Youghiogheny River into
Garrett county, was closed and the
water was over Route 40 at this point
where there is yet bridge to be con-
structed
Highway traffic was being detoured
around the area by way of Keyser's
Ridge, Friendsville and Markleysburg.
The town of Somerfeld was RACED a
few years ago when the food control
project was started, but the highway
bidge has not as yet been completed.
Continuous rains in this section
sent the small streams and the Little
4oughiogheny over their banks and
adjacent fields and woodland were
flooded to quite a depth.

Widow Is Given
Order To Leave
Oakland Home
Sheriff Serves Notice On Widow
OF Banker To Observe Terms
OF Their Agreement

Garrett county authorities have
given Mrs. Karin S. Offutl, young
widow of Daniel f. Offutt, wealthy
Oakland banker, notice to move from
the Offutt residence before March 20,
in the latest move marking lengthy
litigation over his estate and a pre-
nuptial agreement.
A Circuit Court order, signed by
Chief Judge William A. Hustler and
Associate Judge Walter c. Capper,
was served on Mrs Offutt. Monday,
by Deputy Sheriff Juniper s. Teats.
following petition by William R.
Offutt and Neil c. Fraley, trustees
under the will of Daniel F. Offutt,
and their solicitor, +. Ray Jones.
Ignored Notice
The petition cited that the widow
was given notice to vacate on January
20 by registered letter, under the
terms of an agreement made last
August, but no response was received
She had been asked to surrender the
property and to remove herself and
Daniel f. Offutt III, along with all
personal property belonging to them,
before February %.
Under the court order issued last
Friday, Sheriff George f. Coddington
was instructed to seize the property
and remove them in event they did
not leave by March 20.
The petitioners asserted that the
agreement was signed last August "a
by Mrs. Ofutt and approved by the
court to settle the litigation. She
agreed to give up the Offutt resi-
dence, d large brick dwelling on Sec
ond street Oakland, within six
months, but apparently did not in
tend to comply with the agreement
The petitioners declared they had
paid all sums of money provided in
said agreement Of last August and
had performed all provisions.
Gets $1,000 Per Year
Offutt died August 20, 1913, and
litigation over the elderly bankers
estate had been pending in court for
nearly two years. Under an agree
ment made in 1928, prior to their mar
riage, she was to receive $4,000 per
year at his death, but if she remar-
i ried she would be paid a lump sum
Of $4,000 and annual payments would
cease.
! The agreement made last year with
the trustees gives her $4,000 a year
or if she remarked the amount would
be reduced to $1,000 annually. Last
/ years agreement also gave her $12,-
500 in cash to pay her attorneys, and
500 a month for support Of her son
as long as they occupied the Second
street home, or $3.50 d month if the
boy was maintained elsewhere.
Following the death Of Mr.. Offutt
and before the agreement was reached
the widow had asked that the ante
nuptial pact be set aside and that she
be given her legal share of the estate,
which is estimated to be from one
fourth to one-half a million dollars.

Forester Explains
Regulation About
Brush Burning

Some confusion seems to exist
among Maryland landowners. says
District Forester. VIM. II. Johnson.
as to the intent of that section of
Regulation 4 which relates to the
burning of debris and brush. 4 num-
Der appear to be under the impression
that in the spring and fall forest fire
seasons, regardless of where burning
is done, there must be constructed
around the area a plowed fire line at
least 10 feet wide. free Of all inflam-
mable material. This. Mr.. Johnson
declares, is not the case. Such Il line
needs to be constructed only when
brush to be burned is within POO feet
of woodland or inflammable materi-
al that may carry fire to the woods
In the case of brush or other debris
burned, for example, in the middle Of
a cleared field, no such prccaution is
necessary. Mr.. Johnson emphasizes,
however. that in all cases, regardless
of where burning takes place no fire
may be left unattended until the last
spark is out, and that there must be
on hand enough tools to prevent its
escape. The proviso that, in the spring
and fall fire seasons, brush and other
inflammable material can be burned
only between the hours of P. NJ.
and II midnight, Mr.. Johnson adds,
also"applies in all cases.

a general picture of the mammoth
rocket started to shape up.
None of the craftsmen and tech
nicians knew the purpose of their
work - or the secret that was
drawn out of every small, SEEM
ingly meaningless piece of metal
they separately were working on.
One man, Colonel Kjellson,
gathered all the data and pieced
together the outline of a fantastic
weapon.
Piecing 1t Together
Fragments of a turbine were
long a stumbling block. Chemical
analysis gave the clue. Sheet
metal, determined to be part of
fuel tank, had been exposed to
corrosion by hydrogen peroxide.
Another tank fragment of a diff
fercnt metal showed residue from
potassium permanganate. Special
experiments disclosed hitherto I'M
known reaction between the two
compounds, resulting in develop
ment of high steam pressure,
which, it was deduced, must have
served as power for the turbine.
1t was concluded that the turbine
worked on two pumps, parts of
which also had been found.
When it was decided that the
two main fuel tanks of the meteor
bomb must have contained six
tons of fluid oxygen and three
tons of alcohol, the principle of
the bombs jet propulsion was no
longer a secret.
After the first personal investi
cation of the findings by Allied
agents, secret negotiation between
Swedish and British authorities
led to the decision to move the
whole project to allied territory.
Everything was Grated - metal
p e S. drawings, computations,
calculations. Some time later a
group OF British bombers picked
UP the crates.
The work was continued and
probably completed in England
Data and calculations, developed
by the Swedes, later were con-
firnad in the main
When the first W. bomb
dropped on England the Allies
knew what it was.

Sweden's Flower Foundation
Homes for the aged built lasting memorials will

both dodgers and visitors, Or send
meals to the tenants rooms, when
they did not wish to use their own
individual kitchens. The dodgers
pay considerably lower rent than
they would elsewhere, and are en-
titled to certain amount of nurs-
ing service if they are ill. Other
wise there is nothing institutional
about their life. They are free
and independent, and like it. Gar
dens surrounding the homes per-
NIT the old people to sit or walk
in green and pleasant surround
ings.
BY 1885 Mss Hedin wrote.
Swedish obituary notices now Of
ten contain a line asking that the
Flower Fund be remembered.
Sometimes another benefit fund is
named, for the example has been
contagious
The Flower Fund in Stockholm
has continued to grow, but the ap-
plications for apartments consist
emily exceed the supply There
are now about one hundred Flow
er Fund associations in various. ci-
ties in Sweden cooperating in this
movement.
Ten years ago the organization
of a similar Flower Fund for the
benefit of the Swedish homes for
the aged in Greater New York
was planned at several meetings
of the superintendent and board
members of these institutions. A
committee was formed to look in
to the possibility of such an I'M
dertaking, and one member of
this committee visited the main
office of the Flower Fund in
Stockholm in July 1885. In Octo-
Der the same year the committee
met again, and the Flower Fund
for the benefit of the Swedish
Homes for the Aged in New York"
was organized. The member
homes are: The Old Peoples Home
of the Eastern Missionary Asso-
citation, Bronx, N. Y; Swedish
Augustana Home for the Aged
Brooklyn, N: Y, and the Swedish
Home for Aged People Associa-
ton, Staten Island, N. Y. The
Flower Fund here was formed on
the same principles and with the
same ideals as Blomsterfonden in
Sweden. At first it met CONNER
cial opposition from florists, but
that was a minor obstacle. It's
chief opponent here. as there. is
tradition: Everyone sends flow
ers." But interest in the work of
the Fund is constantly growing.
and more and more people are
writing to ask for information.
Churches, fraternities and chari-
ty organizations, as well as in
dividuals. contribute constantly.
The tenth anniversary of the
New York Flower Fund associa-
ton will be observed on Septem-
Der 80 at the Swedish Home for
the Aged on Staten Island. New
York.
