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.

* ? ?
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.
