New Gat Cell Lining ° Cuts Dirigible Cost j Washington.—A new fabric for Mn- ing the gas cells of dirigibles, as light and effective but only one-third as ur Brisbane VIVID TOOTH, DULL AGE. MAKING THE MISSISSIP?! SAFE. DEPEW WISE MAN COULD C00UDGE SAT NOT In youth impressions arc vivid, and last into old age. Therefore, the manuscript of “Alice in Won derland’’ sells for $75,259, a record price, more than would have been paid for the manuscript of Dante’s “Inferno,” or of Voltaire’s “Zadig,” each word worth a thousand “Alice in Wonderland” manuscripts. Years dull imagination, Millions that remember “Robinson Crusoe,” “Swiss Family Robinson,” “Gulliver’s Travels” vividly have a faint impres sion of more important books read later. Social and . Personal News from Williston j Washington reporters say, prob ably inaccurately, that President Coolidge is “shocked” at the sugges tion of $750,000,000 to make the Mississippi River safe. A country that could give TEN THOUSAND MILLIONS'TO EU ROPE, add half a billion a year to railroad receipts, and plan, wisely, to cut $200,000,000 a year from corpora tion taxes, need not shudder at the thought of spending part of a billion to make the Mississippi safe. CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW, dead in his ninety-fourth year, older than the Republican party, which he served Tong and faithfully, said: “I;have lived long because I could laugh at _ anything.” ■ - — . — Of Napoleon, it was said that m his youth “no one ever saw him r j ^ ^ ^ Jaugh.” He didn t live ninety-three years, but he did live more in one day than amiable Mr. Depew in all his ninety-four years. jcostly as that made with the pre cious goldbeater’s skin, has been de- jveloped for the Navy department after yea^s of research In the bureau !©f standards. j “A substitute for goldbeater’s skin has beefi sought by the air powers ,of the world since It became appar ent in 1910 that the lighter-thnn-air sliip was destined to be ah Important Instrument of war and commerce. Development of a satisfactory suhsti- ture, employing cellulose, at this time is particularly valuable to the United States In view of the plan to construct ifor the navy two $6,000,000 airships ^larger than either the Shenandoah or Uhe Los Angeles. . Lee County Crops Destroyed. Chaunccy Depew attended 8,000 banquets and never let boredom drive him into eating too much. That’s wisdom. . _. He campaigned for Lincoln, got $1.75 for his first legal services, lived under twenty-four Presidents, from Andrew Jackson to Calvin Coolidge, and knew thirteen of them personally. How many can name the twenty-four from Jackson on? Mr. Da r row of the-House Naval Affairs Committee, told President Coolidge his friends “still hoped he would be a candidate.” The President replied: “I am afraid they will have to be disappointed.” Die-hard Coolidge enthusiasts will find SOME comfort in that word “afraid.” A man cannot help being persuaded if arguments are good. Suppose the President were con vinced, as he may be, that his re- nomination and re-election, a second time, would boom business, increase employment, stabilize prosperity, and free bis party from oil stain danger, could he continue to say no? Aviation is a reality, says General Atterbury, and railroads should know it. THe is said to plan for the Penn sylvania a part railroad, part-flying" machine service from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The traveler would spend daylight in the flying machine, night hours on the train, cross the continent in forty-eight hours, avoiding mountain flying. This rumor is not guaranteed. New York merchants report busi ness excellent in women’s apparel. They buy more of it and le»s«pf it, more garments, less material in them. Paper underwear for ladies makes its appearance in several stores. Silk of wood, underwear of paper —not pleasant news for cotton grow- e*s. Sumter, April 21.—A storm worsq -than ary ever experienced before by even the oldest inhabitants struck the Rattlesnake Springs section of Lee County, between Rose Hill and the Kershaw County lire, Friday after noon, and ruimfl all cotton, corn and other young crops, according to re ports rea’ching Sumter today. A terrific wird storm that uprooted trees, blew roofs off several houses and barns, a cloudburst and a terribly heavy hail itorm all came down at the same time about four o’clock in the afternoon it is reported here. So heavy was the rainfall that the ground was covered with Water from six to eight inches. The hail, where it was piled up in drifts by wird and water, was still on ground this ipoming. The storm came from the west and took an al most directly easterly course. The section vifcited by its full force was about one uiile wide and three mile« long, it was) stated. All cotton and com that was up will ; femve to be replanted, as well as gar dens and other truck crops. Old British builders of wooden ships who said ships made of steel would sink in heavy storms would be interested in the Leviathan’s latest . trip. She reached New York with her forecastle deck smashed, deck struc tures badly twisted by a wave said to be 150 feet high, that dropped 1,000,000 pounds of water on her deck at once. Men build ships that the ocean cannot sinkr— Water waves are heavier than air waves. Airships will soon be built that no air wave will worry. Williston, April 21.—The outstand ing social event in Williston last week was the Junior^Senior banquet re- edition of the Williston-Elko high school Friday evening, April 13. ■The Masonic hall was beautifully decorated in the senior class colors, purple and white.

(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) In Seattle a tiny Pomeranian barked too much. Its owner Wanted the vocal chords removed, reducing- the bark to a gesture, but humane societies said “No.” Dog Trainer Sanderlin removed the bark in two weeks by training. “Obedience is the secret,” says he. “I taught Darkle (the Pomeranian) the meaning of the words ’Shut up.’ " ^ That trainer might make a fortune in politics.
