Northern Lights Play Havoc With Ratios Now York, April lt>. -One of the mom severe magnetic storms of the twentieth century swept across North America today, disrupting communications systems for several hours in many sections Scientists said the storms wus emitted by sunspot activity. They described the accompanying display of aurora borealls in northern tier of states us the most brilliant in 36 years. The rare "northern lights" gleaming like u giant neon tube in the hea1 vens, dickered in bright streak's that ranged front dim pink to "almost blood red" Iji color, Harvard observatory reported. Relatively few persons saw the aurora, however, for the display did not begin until 1:30 a. m. Eastern Standard time. The storm, bringing with it tain and unsettled weather as au Easter preludo in many places, caused grief to thousands of electrical engineers in telephone, cable, radio and telegraphic centers over the nation For three hours or more they struggled helplessly to keep wires clear under the erratic influence of a bombardment of capricious magnetic currents. News dispatches which left New Y'oik a? "'Itplciuvi'.iv UiVciti-rra irracrosod" arrived in San Francisco as "qpwquxxzsd Jzwysxq opqzadsddy." The stray electrical currents, measured at times at 500 volts by an engineer employed by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, made 4 communication impossible on "open" lines?wires strung above ground ? from Atlanta to New England, from east coast to west. The 300,000-mile leased wire network of the Associated Press was tied up almost completely for more than two hours?the longest period in more than a decade?and news moved only jerkily on limited circuits. Other wire news services had similar^tiif(iculties. Radiomarine Corporation and the U. S. coast guard reported widespread static but were able to maintain contact with ships at sea. Dr. Arthur Knudson and Dr. W. Ray Bryan, of the Albany, New York, medical college told members of the Federated Biological societios in Baltimore that too much sun bathing and nudism can be important contributing causes of skin cancer. Edouard Daladier, "peace-time warlord ?of?Frapce, fornred?-a?-"nationaldefense cabinet" on Sunday, after Premier Blum, Socialist premier, had resigned the post, because of lack of support by the French chamber of deputies. THE TOWN CRIER (BY FRANK H. HEATH) Wo acknowledged with deep appreciation a letter, from Mm. (Jouoviove Mutton, sent from the Urittauy ut bl> Fast lOlh Street, New York. Mrs. Mason expressed her pleasure over a recent story appearing in this paper regarding her pet dog, Tacoma, and very factitiously remarks: "I can't say Tacoma expressed herself one I way or the other but she has been that way since the Tacoma, Washing-) ton, paper had her picture on a half page. Snooty, If you ask tue. That was because she had been to Kgypt and down Into the tombs of tho Kings. Hut who took her?" In the same letter Mrs. Mason described as a mistake tho three time J shooting of a mad dog In Camden a few weeks ago. And in getting into this subject of dogs, let us include the stray cats.) What would be nicer than to have j Camden adopt a policy that prevails in a majority of municipalities by pro| viding for tho destruction of stray , cats and dogs. Also, provide that during the extremely hot summer period (logs be renntee'J. to. be iliiiiilod i>r a leash. * An ounce of precaution at this timo might save a lot of heart aches later on if some dog goes macb and runs ainuck among other canines. Its u Itough Job to halt a rabies epidemic. And that is why all well regulated cities muzzle or leash dogs during the hot months. And so far as rabies are concerned, we strongly urge the "belling" of pet cats and tho extermination of strays. And now for a few allegedly funny ideas. We watched women crossing Droad street in the middltg of tho block for half an hour one afternoon last week and we are now convinced that the fair sex could provide the greatest open field runners football ever saw. While a bit out of season we're going to saunter back into the horse race dope book. Corn Dodger, beaten I by Ostend in the Carolina Cup classic here on April 2, was winner of the Middleburg Cup steeplechase up in Virginia last Saturday, defeating Ostend by five lengths. We'll bet Inde? The way Ostend defeated Corn Dodger here was so decisive we can't see how Corn Dodger turned the trick up in Middleburg. Must have been the difference In the Jockeys. In' the Carolina Cup race Henry Frost rode Ostend while last Saturday J. S. Harrison was up. ? * North Fletcher, of Camden and War i ii i ronton has accepted an Imitation to Judge thy Hunter division of tlio Atlantic Cliy Moray show May ld-M Clnrkson Khunio and I>lxio lloyktu art- jaunting up to Warrenton early In May to bo house guests of J North Fletcher at the Viola Wlninlll ltandolph Duffey wedding. Orchids to Bryce Herbert for one of the finest Faster sermons we ever listened to. * ? ? Cheraw, up the road about 69 miles from Canylen, has some enterprising citlsens. * The town Is known as a "red hot" baseball community, and the fans up thut way have been chewing on the idea that If Barnwell can have a northern club training there, Cheraw might Just as well make u try for one. ! No sooner said than done. They are getting a Wl'A project put over that will bulhl a real baseball plant. I They claim fine spring weather, good ! hotels, excellent food and a gang of j live wire fans who realize what it will moan to the city to have about one j hundred players and camp followers there for seven or eight weeks * * * j Wo made inquiry of some of the J Albany, New York, players over In ; Columbia Saturday as to how they liked training at Barnwell and believe me they were enthusiastic. Albany i has boon thorq three years and will be back next Bprfng. * * Cheraw is building a ball park that will by the equal of the model layout down at Barnwell. * Sumter Is going to bat ulong the same lines as Cheraw. There is ono solace however, that it will not mean much of a ride to go over to theso places and witness some ball games. They had a nice turnout of fans up at Cheraw last Friday when the Columbia Reds played the Wllllamsport team of the Kastorn league. 1 he Williamsport boys, victors over the Ciney Reds a few days ago, #ave the Columbia Reds> a Ciucy farm team a neat 12 to 3 Bhallacking. * * * ? Rambling along in a baseball vein let us pass the poBies to "Red" Lynch Orangeburg last Friday. "Red" gave up but one single and fanned nineteen batters. That is what I term "pitching." t Begins to look as if Columbia will have another of those ordinary ball clubB this year. Beaten by Albany at Columbia last Saturday( the Reds Invaded Barnwell, home of the Albany club Monday and were again given a careful going over by the leaguers from New York state. We're hoping the Reds snap out of It and show some baseball ability before long. Columbia fans deserve good baseball?they have been mighty ' faithful In the face of some terrible stuff for years.
