Power Failure Causes
INear-Panic as 4 Faint

paclty business today, following q
sudden power failure which stalled
the car 480 feet from the ground
causing four 18-year-old girls Il

The girls. all students visiting
here from Kingsport, Tenn, were
also in good condition today, com.
placently continuing their week.
long tour of the Nations Capital
| 1t was just at closing time yes
terday-5 pm.-when>t the packed
elevator, on its last trip down
abruptly jammed near the top OF
the 555-foot shaft. Two of the
girls tainted there. and two others
collapsed on the lawn after walk
ing down the hundreds of steps.
Alarmed Murmurings.
For about 10 minutes after the
car went out of commission, efforts
were made to start it again. But
In the close. hot quarters, one
girl complained she felt faint
and the doors were opened to give
her air. Almost Immediately an
other girl collapsed within the
car.
There were alarmed murmur-
ings from some Of the other
girls in the elevator, and many
appeared panicky. although nc
one screamed. police reported.
Realizing the elevator might
not start again right away, Senior
Guard John H. Bushong said he
called in assistance of Park Po-
lice to get the girls down as
quickly as possible by the steps.
Miss Patsy Whittamore, and
Miss Janet Kaiser, the first two
who collapsed, were carried down
about so feet of the way by fel-
low students at the Lynnview
High School. Kingsport.
Rescue Squad at Work.
There they were met by Rescue
Squad workers. who carried Miss
Whittamore the rest of the way.
Miss Kaiser was able to walk
with assistance.
When the rest Of the group OF
48 students reached the ground,
however, two more girls tainted
from what Park Police termed
sympathetic hysteria. They
were Misses Doris Lawhorn and
Dorothy Mcconnell.
All four girls were taken to
Emergency Hospital. where they
were treated and released within
little more than an hour.
The elevator operator. Percy
Porter, reported that, on the way
up, Miss Whittamore apparently
became Ill near the 370-foot level.
Mr.. Porter took her to the top,
where he administered smelling
salts.
Never Any Danger.
Edward Kelly, assistant super
intendent of National Capital
Parks. which has Jurisdiction over
the monument, said it was not
the first time the elevator had
jammed but that it was the first
time he recalled any such faint
ingS.
Actually" Mr.. Kelly declared
there was no danger to anyone
at any time"
The safety switch, he explained,
shuts off automatically whenever
there is q mechanical defect of
any kind. The Otis Elevator Co.,
which handles the elevator at the
monument, checked the entire
apparatus, Mr.. Kelly said, and
found there had been only a tenn
porary power failure.
The Kingsport students, who ar
rived in Washington Monday, are
staying at the Washington Tourist
Court in East Potomac Park and
plan to leave Saturday. Howard
King. a teacher at the school and
one of three councillors with the
group. said last night the girls
were all in good spirits, despite the
incident.

Red SquiII, Good Poison

Poison which the farmer most
commonly uses to make good rats
out of bad rates is Red Squill, re-
commended by the department Of
agriculture because it is effective,
cheap and harmless to domestic
animals. When dogs and cats eat
it they throw it UP, for 1t is an
emetic. Chickens, too, can eat it
with impunity, but when a rat gets
it into his system it is pay day. At
the outbreak Of World War II the
supply of squill, which comes from
Mediterranean countries, was sud-
denly cut off. Squill is an extract
from a bulb grown chiefly In Italy

Junior salesman of Marysville
high school are hoping to top last
years sales of $12l1.45 in the
annual magazine sale, beginning
Oct. 2.
According to Miss Nellie Kloep-
fer, chairman of the sale, all of
the popular magazines will be of
fered in this campaign. The pub
lie is urged to help the pupils, as
roughly one fourth of the pro-
ceeds are turned back to the
school.
Last year, the school realized
S352.38 from the, magazine cam
paign. The two top statesmen
were Don Carr, who sold $140,30
worth of subscriptions and Jean
Dutro, who sold $1O3.05 in SUBJ

Many of the other pupils also
made good sales records and all
of the students joined in the sale

Seniors to Witness
Soil Conservation

"W ar suitable clothing and
bring your own lunches" is the
advice given to the high school
seniors planning to attend soil
conservation day, by Halsey Ell
liott and Ross Dodd, Soil Conser-
vation officials.
Soil conservation day is to be
held at the Ralph Herd farm
next Thursday, and seniors from
all over the county will attend.
This program was planned by
Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Dodd who are
working with the county extern
sion office in Marysville. 1t is
sponsored by the Soil Conserva-
ton board of supervisors.
The students will be shown
soil conservation versus soil ero-
sion. Explanations will be made
as to the proper management OF
farm lands. Thus the students
can see in practice actual eX-
amples of proper farm methods
and develop a proper apprecia-
ton and interest in the care of
all types of lands.

Who's related to whom, and if
so, how, since everyone is divorc-
ing everyone else. ? ?
That is the problem posed by
a pair of divorce actions filed in
Common Pleas Court Friday.
Glenn and Dorothy Mae Davis
were divorced early this summer.
Davis then married Erma June
jackson on July 81, 1850, and
Dorothy Mae married Kenneth
Eugene Jackson, 10, on Aug. IL,
1850. Kenneth Eugene and Erma
June Jackson are brother and sis
ter.
All of which made everyone a
brother or sister in-law to every
one else, until they all decided to
divorce each other, if you still
follow.

where things really get compli-
