Startled By Explosion and Flashing Light. London, Sept. T. —A wide area of north midland England was startled at 0:45 o'clock last night by a mys terious explosion, accompanied by a sudden blaze of light which lasted only two or three seconds. Just what happened is not known, but the gen eral opinion is that a big meteor fell. Some houses were shaken and various persons thought an earth quake had occurred. Reports from towns in five counties agree as to the flash of light, but they differ respecting the sound. Some reports describe it as a terrific detonation, while others say it was rumbling. Still other reports My that the de tonation was like a loud dap of thunder. People in Hull and elsewhere as sert that the light was like the con centration of several searchlights Some red, some blue and some green, all crossing each other. At Derby the light iVss seen as a dull red glare, resembling that of a blast furnance. Observers at Cools My It was a big streak of light, like a falling star. Atom’s Energy to Maks Life Ham. &tt§s£&SE THE CONCORD BAIL? TRIBUNE seen by Prof. James F. Norris, of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, in his annual nddress to night as president of the American Chemical society. "We know the atoms consist of Unthinkable amounts of bound-up “energy. They are like a Jfack-in-the ißox. When we learn how to touch the button the energy will spring out land we can use It,” he declared. “There will then be no under ground /slaves and no coal barons. A limitless supply of energy will make over the world. Every man will have time-to taste of the joys of life." > Hated Bath Like Poison. Frank Dyer of Anacostta, N- J.. made a terrible mistake when he committed a breach of the law. He boasted that he had not taken a bath since the last Democratic president left office and that he would not take another one until the hext Demo cratic president was elected. He was quite used to his state of itAy in difference when he was arrested. Just his luck! The first thing the po lice decided was necessary to do with him was to give-Mm s genuine old fashioned Scrubbing. They vowed they would reach rock bottom on Flunk Dyer if it took every man on the Job to do the Job. t' When Frank was informed ot his impending bath and though of the paky soap and water that would wash away the accretions of years from him he shuddered and made a decision. At an opportune moment he broke away from his “knights of the bath" and made straight for an open -window. Without hesitation he jumped clean through it. It wasn’t the distance he fril that hurt—it was striking the ground. Frank broke both ankles and was helpless to move. He was thoroughly sub missive after that and from last ac counts the bath wan successful. It is said that Frank hardly recognised himself after it was all over. Loses Race With Flood. There were seven members of the B'.ackett family ih their auto when they started out during a severe storm to go from Pawhuska, Okla, to Hominy. As the car was about to crom a bridge over Rock ereek the occupants heard a deafening roar as they saw a four-foot wall of water rushing madly toward them.. The driver speeded up the auto in an at tempt to get across the bridge before the wall of water struck it, but he was too late. The bridge was wash ed away and it carried the Blackert lauto with it Only two children were saved at they were washed ashore; the rest of the family perished.

Nearly a year later, the bottle, covered with barnacles, is washed ashore 1,450 miles away, is found and returned to the navy de partment, increasing the navy's knowl edge of the mysterious ways of the ocean.

Boone, Sept. 7.-*— I The fall term of superior court convened here Monday morning with Judge' Henry P. Lane presiding. The judge's charge to the grand jury was brief, but compact and full of the important things that the grand .jury should know to be able to carry out work in an effective man ner. There are' no important cases on the criminal docket, but a few on the, civil docket that will attract some attention owing to the intereats in volved. The outstanding event of the day has been the great speech of Congress man R. L. Doughton. Mr. Doughton reviewed the record of the Democratic party, impressing the vital legislative measures that have been enacted by it in comparison with those of the Re publican party, referring especially to such laws as the federal reserve law, the farm loan law, the public high way law, the banking law, and the parcel post law, impressing the great benefits saying that the nation had agreed to take over and improve 200,- 000 miles and that 130,000 miles had been , completed and that the other urn can FEEL Ki difference iis new oil in your Ford a T TUNDREDS of road tests made with ij xjL the new “Standard” Motor Oil in all m types of cars prove that it represents a - advance in motor lubrication. 8 For instance, a Ford run 609 miles from September 24th to October 22d, 1925, showed 12-8% increase in oil mileage; h A| 12.3% increase in gas mileage; increased * 1.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (New Jersey) Ji “STANDARD * V ♦ Old Fallacies about Food Refuted by Doctors Like heirlooms, superstitious are handed dovrp from generation te gen eration and some of, them which have gathered about food and eating bab its often have bßm detrimental to health, physicianip''kteert. As an ex ample. they cite the widespread be lief that tomatoes' thin -the blood. This mistaken "idek probably is the result of a queer mental twist. To matoes art red likd blood and juicy, but thinner than blood, therefore they must thin the blood. But doctors de clare that the sact 1 is that the Vege tables are exceedingly healthful' and their juice is Widely fed to babies, as a substitute for that of the orange, to promote growth. The belief that milk and acid fruits eaten together curdle in the stomach and therefore produce ill effects is alsd widely held. If they do curdle, doctors see no cause for alarm, because milk goes through this reaction with the gastric juice as soon as it reachat this Stomach. Many women spend hoiihs soaking cucum ber* “to draw off the poison” without stopping to think that if toe peel real ly were poisonous, toe injurious sub stances would Soak all the way through the cucumber. Special foods are in wide demand in some parts be cause they are said to Be rich in help ful iron content. Ordinary lean meat, spinach, carrots, lettuce and egg yolk are considered sufficiently filled with iron to supply the normal body needs. That fish is a brain food is another common cookery delusion.

He impressed the | fact that the most important was the condition of tlie farmers, and that the Republicans had acknowledged this fact but refused to pass a law to re lieve farming conditions when this matter had been presented. He brought out the fact that owing to these con ditions there had been more than 2,- 000 bank failures compared with leas than 200 under Mr. Wilson. Mr. Doughton showed in what way he had been trusted with important positions by the kindness of the peo-1 pie and his party in Congress, and in I what way he had been connected with the passing of the beneficial laws that have been enacted, and asked the peo ple to consider his record, that he was standing for re-election on the record he had made.
