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

chlorine laboratory of the Kdgewood ur- *
senal near Baltimore contracted the dis-j

.MIMIC TRAGEDY TURN'S
OUT THE REAL THING
Girl Playing Part of Indian Princess
Shot in Breast With Wad of Gum.
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.
Little Miss Davis will recover..
Mbt Death As Result of Falling From
Train.
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.

* 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

less driving. When officers stopped the
