Dr. J. Rudolph Katz of Amster- y
dam, who landed yesterday from c<
the Holland-America liner Noordam t]
from Rotterdam, said the ouija ti
board is causing insanity in Europe. j<
He is an alienist and nerve special- tl
ist of international reputation and b
will lecture here on the latest in- a
sanity cure, the analysis of the ti
lreams of the patient. He said the
idea, is not new, but that his sue- tl
cestui application is recent. p

Electrical engineers interested in
fie proposition of welding would *
iece the sacred old bell together. ?

The project was discussed at a re- b
ent meeting of the American j h
Velding Society. It remains for the j n
uardians of the bell and the Am- v
rican people, to whom it belongs, s

left to its fate. (
It is D. H. Wilson, the New York I

t American wharves . Axes were
wung, explosives were used, and
ltricate machinery with which
hese ships were propelled was
bashed in", in the belief that the
ranks never would be able to reair
these ships in time to turn
hem against the fatherland. Bookig
over the "wrecks", some ertineers
said it would take a year
r more to repair those ships and
ut them back in commission. New
arts would have to be installed.
Then along came Wilson with his
lectric welding needle. It is a mater
of history, of course, that in
rom three to four months every
ingle German liner was ready to
ut to see again. Even while
rankee troops wjere wiping out the
It. Mihiel salient and sweeping
lean the Argonne, those German
hips, led by the giant Vaterland,
fere pouring American men and
lunitions into Britain, France and
Jelgium. Not only did Wilson and
is crew weld the Vaterland and
er sisters as good as new, but he
lade them so fleet that our "gobs"
/ere able to get three knots better
peed out of them than the Ger
nans ever had made!
This man Wilson, along with
Wake-'em-up" Dudley of the
Chester Shipbuilding Company; B.
i. Chichester, the Virginian who
levedoped the science of electric
welding under water, and other auhorities
on welding, say the grand
Id Liberty Bell can be redeemed;
hat it may have "health glands"
ransferred to its body that will do
or it what the "Fountain of
i'lorida" was supposed to do for
lecrepit Ponce de Leon. Transfuion
would be. the process involved,
us as in the hospital an anemic is
irooed back to life and color again
y the injection of pure fresh blood
n his veins, only in this case it
rould be a emtal transfusion.
This would proceed in this fash>n:
Take first a grain of metal
rom the crevice of the bell. Have it
nalyzed by a board of expert meillurgists.
Reproduce in the
iboratories of the alchemist the
lemical metal of which the Liberty
lell is composed. When you have
ae proper alloy you are ready to
ring on the electric needle.
1
Now for the process" of welding,
ashion the new metal to be aplied
into wire or needle of the
relding apparatus. Measure the reistence
of the bell ; andthe resistnce
of the wire after having esi'.lated
the amount of steel sufficient
> fill up the crack. Now to fill ir?
le crack. One electric contact I?
lade on the bell and the other on
le needle that is composed of the
ime metal substance as the bell itslf.
Electricity leaps between the
vo. points. It describes an arc,
nee electricity .travels in a curved
ither than a straight line. Now the
rocess of vaporization is in full
laze. The electric needle is coniming
itself and depositing its
wn particles within the orifice of
le split bell. Eighty per cent of the
pplied power is being consumed on
le wire side of the arc. Five per
ent of the current is in the arc it?lf,
a burning glare of light that
lakes the operator shield his eyes
ehind heavily smoked goggles. Ten
er cent of the power is consumed
n the negative pole for the puro:se
of heating the- plate which reL'ives
the deposit. You simply
men the electric needle to one on
to othiir side of the crack, withraw
it a fraction of an inch and
nen vpcr.t the proccrs ivcr and
vi .\
Your electric needle, or welding
'ire, is giving its own life, transerring
its very self through the
tedium of the electric current to
ill out the crevice in the Liberty
ell. Particle by particle, layer by
tyer, the process continues until
he opening is closed. The Liberty
tell is mended just as the surgeon
akes a piece of bone from the
hin and grafts it on the face to
take a new nose?bone for bone
nd, in this case, metal for metal.
Not only will it ring, say the
/elders but it will have again the
ame vibrant tone that it had when
t was first hung up in the steeple
f the State House in Philadelphia
n the summer of 1753. The old
>ell rang first to call the members
f the Assembly; it rang when
own meetings were held in the
Itate House yard; it tolled dismaly
when the stamp act went into efect;
it electrified the people when
he tea ship Polly was sent home
I'lih it;- cargo untouched; it saluted
he patriots from Boston when
f they sojourned with the patriots of i
J Philadelphia; it sounded in dirge,
fashion when Boston was occupied!
by the redcoats under the Gage; it f
pealed joyously when' the news of L
Lexington and Concord reached the's
Quaker ' City, and, finally, it clang-1
ed forth as spokesman announcing ^
the birth of the new republic and'
the consummation of the Declara-:
tion of Independence. For many .
years after the revolution it rang
out on national holidays, in weli
coming illustrious visitors, in j
j mourning the deaths of beloved A- j
merican patriots. It was tolling on J
the day 'when the body of Chief I
Marshall was being carried in a pub-1
i lie funeral procession, and after j
! that day it never tolled again.? j

A REVISED VERSION
_ . ^
The following is a darky preacner's
version of the parable of the
Good Samaritan: > ,
! "Dere was a traveler on the lone-1
ly roaJ, robbed an' left wounded
an' helpless by de wayside. As he
laid dere various pussins passed
him, but none of dem offers him
sistance." By and by, however, a pore
Samaritan comes alone, an' takin'
pity on de wounded man's trouble,
helped him on his mule an' took him
to a tavern where, he orders food an
drink an' clothes for de mm an'j
tells de tavern keeper to send de bill
to him. An' dis is a true story breth-!
ren," concluded the preacher, "for
de tavern is standin' yit, an' in de
doorway is standing de' tavern
keeper waitin' for de Good Samari_
tan to come back an' p&y de bill." j

FOUR PERSONS SUCCCUMB
Wreck at Mayo Claims Two More
Victims
Spartanburg, Aug. 3.?Four persons
are dead, two are dying and
two were injured as a result of being
crushed beneath their automobile
which crashed through the railing
of a bridge over the C. C.1 and
0. Railway at Mayo, S. C., yesterday
afternoon and fell thirty feet
into the railwy tracks below.
The dead are John Wilton Morris,
Custer Hunter, Samuel H.
Clark and Miss Ila. Gilmer. Miss
Mary Ellen Rodgers and Miss Cal)ie
Reel are dying in a local hospital
with crushed skulls. S. F. Sutton,
who was driving the automobile, has
lapovntirms nf thp scaln and concus
sion of the brain. Miss Lottie Gilmer
has a broken arm.
Mr. Sutton, with seven companions,
was returning from a trip
to the northern section of the
State when, in turning a sharp
curve at Mayo, the machine turtled
through the railing at the end of
the bridge, throwing the entire party
to he tracks below. All the members
of the party were from Glendale,
this county.
THE ETERNAL ELEMENTS
In the showing of a pictorial new
weekly in a movie house in San
Diego ,the operator flashed on the
screen a picture of two distinguished
French generals l'iding in an
automobile. Crowds lined the pavements,
their umbrellas up and water
dripping from their hats. Suddenly
from the audience came the awed
cry:
"My Gawd, it's still rainin' over
there!"
THE DEVIL'S DUE
_ "Y'r honor," explained the trafic
cop, "he was burning up the
>avement like the old Nick himelf."
"Guess that's right," agreed the
tumorous autoist. "You see, I'm a ,
egular speed devil."
"Fair enough," countered the '
