Haroody was coming to Florence to visit n relative. The pas sen tiger trains move slowly at this cross ing as n rule, and it is thought Banoody, wanting to save himself the tkmc of going to the passenger station, decided to leave the train at this spot even though it was in motion.

The lens of the Nuvesink. light In* closes a powerful electric arc. But, generally speaking, kerosene la the preferred lllumlnant for many light houses. A lens frequently la built up of glass prisms arranged in panela, the object being to concentrate the light Into a beniu of maximum brilliancy and range. Some lighthouse lenses Hre so arranged as to revolve, a con trivance of the sort, weighing perhaps 6,000 pounds, being floated upon mer cury and thereby turned so easily that ? small bit of clockwork actuated by a 100-pound weight will operate It. GOT FACTS SLIGHTLY MIXED Hiprnfframv* Ofbome Evidently Had Not Tal.en Keen Notice of Poel t on of 8herm?n Statue. Que of the best speeches In the house la years came from Representa tive Osborne of California the day of the Pershing parade, says the Los An geles Times. Having been one of the soldiers who marched up Pennsylva nia avenue at the close of the Civil war for a final review by '(general Sherman, he was able to draw a beau tiful and striking contrast with the return of the veterans of 1919. At one point In the address the rep resentative spoke feelingly of how Sherman, at the head of the column, at Fifteenth street nnd Pennsylvania avenue had turned on his horse and locked back at the advancing veter ans. "Thus," said Mr. Osborne, "the fig ure of Sherman, cast in bronze, sits to day at the head of Pennsylvania ave nue, us he sat that day more than fif ty years ago." The reference to the Sherman statue aroused great Interest and many were the pilgrimages made to tlie statue within the next few days to see how Sherman looked gazing down the ave nue. Hut horror of horrors! It de veloped that Sherman was looking not toward the advancing column, but to ward the White llcwise, which stands In an opposite direction. Now Osborne is looking for the man who placed It thus. Lava Under Ranger Field? Geologist* believe that continued oli operations It) the Hunger field, should they attain a depth of one mile under the surface, will prove the ' existence of a live lata bed, a Ranger (Tex.) correspondent of the New York Eve ning Sun writes. In tlie region of C'addo oil drillers have discovered that hits of the drills show evidences of In tense heat within ? 8,200 feet of the surface, and the hent at that depth Is sufficient to discharge shots of nitro glycerin without the use of a fnlral nating cup. A peculiarity of the Hanger field In Stephens county Is the number of cre vasses encountered in drilling through the black lime. These crevasses ar<' filled more or less with oil-yielding sand and when this sand is "shot" the Mow of petroleum rushes to the surface. Whether this rush is aided by the subterranean heat is problem atical, but It Is believed that the heat Iiiis n great deal to do with the rush of ihe oil. Baby and His O. Santa Clans brought an educational hoard to Baby Jack Woerner. son of Mr. and Mrs. ('. A. Woerner. Jr.. .'WIS Graceland avenue. He took more in terest In the new hoard than In any of his toys and after a few evenings of diligent study, with mother as in structor. he could pick out most of (he letters of the alphabet. O became hl? favorite letter, however, and any thing resembling that letter in shape was an () to him. One evening mother was asking him to point out his e"/os, nose, chin, mouth, etc., which he did with much success. Finally she point ed to his ear and asked: "What la that?" After a short pause, he glanced across the room at his new educational board and answered: "That's my O."?Indianapolis News. Wild Section In Southern France.

KEEP THEM GOING America Needs To Get R1<1 of the "Red" Poison Says Writer. ? A month aco these pages chronicled what was in .many respects the most ex Iraordinarj event in the entire history of this country?the banishment and de |K>rtation of a considerable body of arch traitors. A feeling of approval and sat isfaction Mvept across the entire country ; even those few who disapproved, for personal reason*, dared not do it openly. What all loyal Americans had long hoped I and prayed gbr wnx at last an adoom I plished fact, and the promise that the giM.d work ?o successfully <l>eguii was to be at once repeated, and then maintained J until we were rid of the red menace, was I accepted as evidence that a Jong-suffering I and over-patient Government had at last [ really awikened from its sloth and leth argy and exerted its right and might. Each day millions read their daily papers in the hope of seeing the promise fulfilled. And each day for a month we hi>v loitki'd in vn in A nn t ion - widi> "rnid" which gathered in hundreds of the un desirables was made, but a? yet no sec ond ark has sailed. Instead those who | yesterday were calling down anathema upon our oourt* and laws, are today u^ing every advantage of legal technicali ties in a frantic effort to avoid the sen tence which their very acts should pro nounce upon themselves. We are too thin-skinned or there i* tpo much politics being employed, when a traitor who ha* shouted his infidelity from the hometops can get his "case" juggled into the or dinary processes of law. and dragged out indefinitely. It is almost enotigh to make one even .wish for that autocratic and b?ir-t rigger efficiency of a monarch or czar, which, with all its faults, '!.d have the advantage of making short shift of traitors. A happy me<tmm with nv would be sufficient, but it might we|| <?rr toward the .aide of a court-?martial, which is noted for' action, rather than the canal boat. speed to which we,.often limit our selves. ? \V hen 11 tnvan has taken deadly poison, ha* all th" K.vmproms' of being poisoned, him-self declares he is ]>oiNoued, his phy sician does not take his case under ad viseinent for a month or .two, does not tontinue bis ease from week to week, nor does he permit the patient to engage experts to prove he isn't poisoned. He pt-ts busy right away ; lie doesn't waste ! n moment, and he gets the ipoiso-n out oft the patient and administers the antidote, j What we need is to get the red poison , out of our conn-try, by prompt deporta-1 tioH, >and for each one who goes out that way the antidote .will be efficacious for a hundred who are left. Hut to be pffeetivi' the treatment must be prompt, j When a man is found merely watching a band of counterfeiters at work, th? secret-service agents have a right to as- j 8lime he is one, too; if the man dedi he is, and 'believes in counterfeit^ is entitled 'to be taken ?t his wori ! man or woman (who declares, w it or prints, a desire to overthrow oor^ emroeuti by tbot act jdeads faity being n traitor, and should be jini traitor's deserts; and instead of.wH for a Hoviet condition "here, be ban in tin1 -place -vfhere he belongs, andti that condition already exists.
