DEADLY TOBACCO SMOKE '
PROVED ONLY A MYTH
Scientists Trace Carbon Monoxide Effect
in Experiment.
Milwaukee. Sept. 12.—Tobacco smoke
is far less deadly in carbon monoxide
gas than scientists of the past have
claimed. This is tlie opinion expressed
by three investigators of Pittsburgh be

American Chemical Society here today.
The. conclusion reached by the inves
tigators. G. W. Jones, W. P. *Yunt and
L. B. Burgess, followed tests made in
Pittsburgh, when three subjects were
placed in a no,n-ventilated room of 1,000
cubic feet capacity and who for two
hours smoked cigars, cigarettes, stogies
and pipes. They claim the smoke was
four to six times more concentrated than
would be permitted under ventilated
room condition,'the eyes of the smokers
being protected by goggles.
The investigators reported that carbdn
monoxide saturation of the blood was
not greater than 5 per cent., even in
two subjects who each inhaled the
smoke of 20 cigarettes.

ITALIAN TROOPS LEAVE
CORFU ISLAND BY 27TH
Ambassators* Council Will See That the
Greeks Punish Murderers or Pay.
Paris. Sept. I*l.—The danger to the
peace of Europe from the Italian occu
pation of Corfu ended tonight when, af
ter another difficult session, the ambas
sador's council came to a full agreement.
Italy finally consented to evacuate
Corfu before the end of September. It
is understood troops are to leave the
island by September 27th.
It also is understood that the council
agreed that jf on tiis-date of the evacua
tion tlie inter allied commission of in
quiry reports that Greece has not done
all possible to punish the assassins of
the Italian members of the Greeo-Al
banian mission, the 50,000.000 lire de
posited by the Greek government shall
be paid over to the Italian government as
reparations.
Up to almost tlie last moment tlie
Italians insisted that the powers ought
to take Premier Mussolini’s word as to
the evacuation, and leave it to him to
fix the exact date after the reparation
measures Imd been carried out.
Tlie British ambassador insisted quite
as strongly that public opinion through
out the world ought to be reassured by
a definite arrangement that would put
an end to the talk that 'ltaly intended
to remain in Corfu iudenfiitely. He
asked that the Italian premier choose a
fixed date which would be early enough
to get all speculation as to Italy’s in
tentions at rest.
The allies assured 'the Italian ambas
sador that the greatest dilligOnce would
be exercised in pursuing the inquiry into
the assassination of General Tellini and
the other members of the Italian boun
dary commission and pleaded with him
to urge Rome to accept • the desire of
Great. Britain and fix a date for the eva
cuation of Greek territory so ns to re
lieve the world of anxiety.
All official communique issued after
ward said: >
"The ambassadors’ council has adopt
ed a solution which it considers such as
will put an end to the situation created
by the assassination of the Italian dele
gation. The solution immediately will
be transmitted to Athens and also com
municated to the league council and will
be made public tomorrow at noon.”

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE
BEGINS ANOTHER YEAR
Many Friends. Alumni and Visitors Are
Present For Opening Exercises.
Mt. Pleasant, Sept. 14.—Many friends,
almnni. and distinguished visitors at
tended the opening of the Collevieto- t
stitute and greeted the 1; A UYSrtt 1,
body of this year. Tlie de\ SiS"*
cises were conducted by tht. «.
Thomas, of Concord. For tlie scripture
lesson lie read , the 19th Psalm which
beautifully portrays the love and infin
ite power of God. Rev. IV. T. Albright,
of the local methodist church, was pres
ent and extended to the student-body a
cordial invitation to participate in all
the activities of the Church. . Mr. Al
bright exhorted tlie cadets that they have
a definite. Godly purpose for their life,
that they have the courage of convic
tion to do as Daniel, that which is just
anil right regardless of public opinion.
The Reformed Church pastor. Rev. Mr.
VVarlick. delivered some very timely re
marks to the students. He impressed
the importance of knowing one's self and
that the great purpose of life can then
be fulfilled by giving real genuine ser
vice to humanity.
Tlie Board of Trustees was represent
ed by Mr. Thomas, who promised better
days for the Collegiate Institute. He
further said that it is the duty of ev
ery young mail to observe the rules of
good health since self-preservation is es
sential to fit him for the tasks of life.
Work will not disgrace nor will it hurt
any one. Get hold of yourself by con
trolling your three powers of body, mind
and soul. He also stressed the value of
wholesome associations with other men.
The knowledge of human natirte is a
valuable asset to tlie life of every man.
Hold fast to the basic, fundamental prin
ciples of life whicYi are essential for true
success.
Rev. C. 1.. T. Fisher delivered a good
S)>cccl> to the cadets. He gave Bates
College as an example of where a small
School is doing wonderful work. He said
that no school can give a man brains.
I’he capacity for knowledge money will
not buy. Certain mental tasks are nec
essary in securing knowledge, tasks that
must be performed by the individual
student. These tasks are done at any
school that gives an adequate course aud
lias'a competent faculty. The small col
lege gives definite advantages, the chief
:>f which is personal contact between fac
ulty aud students; hence better work re
sults. To succeed in school two points
are essential: First, the willingness nec
essary to perform the given tasks consist
ently ; and second, to succeed to the
greatest degree is possible by thorough
co-operation with your fellowmen and
having full harmony and co-operation
with the faculty. .

This is Ruling of Attorney
General Who Had Been
Asked to Give Ruling on
the Question.
CONGRESS HOLDS
POWER IN MATTER
If Civil Authorities Are Un
able to Cope With Situa
tion Congress Can Direct
Help From Navy.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, Sept. 14.—Except in an
emergency rendering civil processes of
enforcement impotent, which was held
not to exist, the Navy cannot be used in
enforcing prohibition without the express
authorization of Congress, Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty has ruled in an opinion
on a question submitted to President
Coolidge.
The Attorney General's opinion, pub
lished today that answers in the negative
both questions submitted by the late ’
President Harding last spring in asking
for a ruling on the matter. These were
whether the Executive had power to use
the Navy in prohibition enforcement in
in the absence of an emergency, and, if
not, whether an emergency existed au
thorizing its use.
The opinion held that there was no
authorizing emergency because, although
theVe have been numerous violations of
the prohibition law. an "unfriendly pub
lic opinion" has made enforcement diffi
cult in places, there have been no unlaw
ful obstructions of the functions of the
court or the executive agencies in enforc
ing the law.
All departments of the government, the
-opinion added, are "functioning and mak
ing a steady advance against lawless ele
ments.” .
While some specific statutes exist au
thorizing the President to use the navy
for specific purposes, some of these, the
opinion held, confer authority for use of
the naval forces to enforce "ordinary civ
il and criminal statutes." Power to de
termine when and for what purpose the
naval forces may be used is vested in
Congress , by„ k was
held.
Although dealing specifically only with
the navy, the opinion was regarded ap
plicable to the army as well.
OLD WAR CANNON BELCHES
DISASTER TO PROPERTY
Three Balls Plow Their Way Into
Houses ami Hotel.
Syracuse, N. Y„ 13.-—firing of a
civil war cannon in Lafayette Park, at
Waterloo, this noon, to free the piece of
three eight-pound balls that had been
lodged therein, damaged two Waterloo
residences, the Waterloo Hotel and
clipped several large limbs from inter
vening trees. School children and citi
zens on their way home from luncheon
escaped injury only because the cannon
was aimed above the street level.
For many months the cannon had
been stuffed to its mouth with balls by
mischievous boys, and the Park Com
missioners have made several attempts
to dislodge them. All were removed but
tliree.and today Charles Genttng offered
to do the job-
Pouring two ounces of powder into
the hole and using a firecracker fuse,
Genung touched off the piece. Ordinarily
the amount of powder used would have
been only sufficient to dislodge the balls,
but evidently some powder remained in
the gun front previous firing and the
explosion was powerful enough to send
the three balls soaring over the trees.
One ball plowed into the west side of
the Cenung home, cut through one of
the upper rooms and lodged in a front
wall. Another ball clipped several large
limbs from trees in its path and
ricocheted, landing in the yard of
diaries Terwilliger. The third ball
traveled nearly 500 feet, and .crashed
through the second story of the Water
loo Hotel.
