The chemists who are working with "poison” gases undta- the direction of the T'uited States Arm* have stumbled uji nu some surprising facts. Due of them is that chlorine gas in mild doses is a preventive of influenza and pneumonia aud may perhaps be useful in the treat ment of those diseases. Another is that “mustard gas’’ is of value in checking tu berculosis, at least in guinea pigs, and so presumably in muu. Lewisite, a particularly destructive gas. is reported when much diluted to have relieved par esis and locomotor taxia. These extra ordinary discoveries were first suggested during the war. when it was observed jn the midst of the terrible epidemic of in fluenza, that no one who worked in the chlorine laboratory of the Kdgewood ur- * senal near Baltimore contracted the dis-j ease.

Norfolk, June 7.—Thirteen-year-old ' Mary Davis was playing 'the role of j an “Indian princes*” in a school pag eant at. Matthews county courthouse. It was a tragedy role, and the beauti ful young princess was scheduled to a sad. end. When the fateful shot was fired the little princess clutched her side and fell to the floor. So realistic was her facial expres sion. that the audience burst forth in uproarious applause. The curtain descended; then in response to the clamorous demands, ’t was raised so that the young actress might acknow ledge the plaudits from the multitude. But she was unable to rise. Then pandemonium ensued. Reports flew through the crowd that a real bullet had been fired, and that the little mimic heroine was mortally wounded. A physician was summoned. He discovered an ugly wound in the child's left breast. Gloom replaced the holiday spirit that had actuated the throngs at the school ' commencement exercises. The little girl was brougnt to Nor folk for an operation. Dr. Southgate laugh operated and discovered —not a bullet, but a big wul of chewing gum. One of the mischievous young “In dian” bucks in the play had crammed a wad of chewing gum in a blank cartridge and when he pulled the trig ger. tin* caked gum penetrated the breast of the little princess, carrying with it a portion of her dress.

Statesville. .Tun! 7.—Dr** William Me- Ourry, Yancy county physician, whose body was found by ythe railroad track east of Elmwood yesterday, met his death as a result of falling from a train, accord ing to the verdict of a coroner’s jury. The autopsy, conducted by Dr. R. S. McElwee. disclosed a fracture at the base of the skull, death being instant. He was on the Shriners' special bound for Washington. The dead man s fath er. T. <\ MeCurry. a wealthy Yancy county farmer, arrived this morning. He stated that his sou wassH years of age and had been a practicing physician at Murchison for eight years. The young man was to have been married this summer, his fiance having just complet ed her studies in college. The remains were taken to Burnsville for interment. Too Many Laws. One of the strangest political ten dencies of our time is the suddenly in creased faith of legslators in the power of laws to enforce themselves once they are reduced to writing. No belief has been so continuously and thoroughly discredited . yet none is so alarmingly alive. Every political philosopher from Montaigne’s day to this hour lias recognized that the best government is that conduct with the least law and machinery. A multitude of evils attend the native faith of legislature in the anto-enforeement capacity of law as represented by words on a piece of paper. One is .an inevitable weakening of respect for a government born of a disregard for its more outlandish as pects. Another is the uninterrupted en croachment of government on the gov erned. A third and most distressing evil is the appalling expense attending tin* creation of multitudinous new bureaus and offices provided for. Tho time may come when a candidate pledging himself to nothing but the re peal of two laws for every one created will be generally supported. Turlington Act is Decidedly Drastic. Statesville Landmark. “What would you do if a friend in vited you into his office to have a drink?" iiKpiired a member of the local bar dur ing the past week. "Is this an invitation?" "Hypothetical question only.” respoud od the attorney emphatically. “I'd do the same thing you would do.” “Well, you would be guilty of violat ing the law and you could get four years for it —two years for having liquor in possession and two years for transport ing." “Where do you get that transporting count?” _ “You transport it to your lips, don’t you?” “Yes. I’m serious," replied the at torney: "and it’s something the public outght to know about. If you take a drink of liquor anywhere but in your own home, you have violated the Tur lington act and you are liable on two counts. A prominent judge ruled that way recently. And what’s more, the man who give it to you is liable ou three counts—having it in possession, giving and transporting. The cour can give him six years.” * “Aw, no court is going to pass auy such sentence as that.” “Well. I’m not talking, about what the court would do; I’m telling you wha’t th<‘ law is.” “J had no idea this new law was as drastic as all that.’’ He paused de liberately. “There’s this compensation about it, it’s going to make tlid home more popular. It’s going to revive the old custom of ‘calling.’ Nice old cus tom anyway—ought to be revived.” No Sign of Brealijng the Deadlock at Lausanne. Lausanne, June 7.—'There was nfL sign visible today of a breaking of the deadlock at the near cast peace confer ence. The Turks, however, particular ly the younger men attached to- their delegation, including the proprietors of Constantinople newspapers, some of whom are graduates of American uni versities. strongly favor an immediate peace, leaving the points in controversy for settlement at' a later date. The Greeks also are showing marked symptoms of nervousness and are urging the most rapid conclusion of peace pos sible so that the Greek army may be demobilized. “I can’t do a thing with Jones,” said tin* manager. “I’ve had him in three department, and he dozes all day long.’* “Put him at the pajama counter.” Suggested the proprietor, “and fasten this card on him: “Our night clothes are of such sur perior quality that even the man, who sells them keep awake.’’ * 1923—LOCUST YEAR. * This is a 17-Year-Locust Year. In fifteen States east of the Mississippi | these remarkable insects, more properly ' known as the periodical cicadasr will 1 emerge from the underground homes which they have inhabited for 17 years, and the males will fill the woods with their shrill love songs. The females are dumb. The first cicadas may be expect ed to appear above ground at any rime now. Says Science Service’s Daily Scicnce News Bullentin (Washington) : “The States in which they will be heard and seen this year are Georgia, Illinois. Indiana. Kentucky, Maryland. Massachusetts. New Jersey. New York. North Carolina. Ohio, Pennsylvania. Tennessee, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Not all parts of the States mentioned will be affected, the distribu tion of the cicadas being decidedly local. “Periodical cicadas appear somewhere within the range of their general dis tribution nearly every year. This is in agreement, however. with their periodical character, as it has been found that they all belong to swarms which reappear every 13 or 17 years. More than one swarm may inhabit a given locality, causing an apparent re turn of the insects at less regular inter vals. This year's swam is of tie true 17-year variety. "It is probably, the second largest of all the swarms, and one of the most widely distributed. It has also historic interest in that it is the identical swarm which was first observed by Europeans in America. Colonies of the insects around Massachusetts Bay attracted the attention of the early white settlers in 163-fc and mention of their appear ance is to be found in books published some time later. Their direct descend ants in the 17th generation will be heard near Plymouth and at Barnstable within a few days, “Periodical cicadas are growing less numerous iu many localities owing to the cutting down of the forests. The eggs are laid in the tender twigs of trees, and if no trees are available the propagation is largely prevented. Birds are enemies of the insects, especially the English sparrow. “The insects cause no permanent damage to mature trees, but may seriously injure young trees or nursery stock. No remedy is practicable against them in large numbers over large areas, but orchards and shrubs may be partly protected by thorough liand-picking, dusting with pyrethrum powder when the insects have just emerged from the shells in which they emerged, from the ground, or \praying with kerosene emulsion at aboijt the same time." FATALLY INJURED WHEN FORD AUTO TURNS OVER Denver Smith Also Seriously Hurt in Accident Near High Point. High June 10. —A Ford road ster in which Harvey Rice. Denver Smith. Richard Emmerson, Carl John son and Terrell Womacli, all of High Point, were riding left the road, turned over three times, crashed into a bank and was completely wrecked about 3:30 o'clock tjiis afternoon ou Freeman’s mill road, near Providence Church, about four miles from High Point. Rieard Emmerson's skull was crushed. He died a few minutes after the acci dent while en route here to a hospital. Denver Smith received serious in juries. He is lying here tonight in a hospital in an unconscious state. Slight hope is entertained for his' recovery, it is said. Harvey Rice, owner of the ill-fated car. who is said to have been driving at. the time of the accident, has been placed under arrest on a warrant charging him with manslaughter and tonight is locked up in the city jail. He is held without bail. Rice. Johnson and Womacli received cuts and bruises but none of them were seriously injured. A prelude to the tragedy of this af ternoon occurred about 1 :lo o’clock this afternoon, it was revealed by the police tonight. Harvey Rice early this af ternoon while riding with C\ Vun eannon and Denver Smith iu the same Ford that was later wrecked was ar rested on a charge of speeding and reeky" less driving. When officers stopped the car they searched it and found one pint of whisky in a /fruit jar and another jar eoutaiuging one-half pint of spirits.
