THE STATE'S O BW PAPER (Established 1873) PROTECTING LIVES Frequent warnings and two sad accidents within the last year in| which lives of ‘healthy young children 1 of Bismarck have been snuffed out under the grinding wheels of auto- mobiles have not served to end the | ever-present danger to children play- ing'\on'the streets of the city. The | danger will grow instead of lessen as | the! mew ‘bridge increases the inter-/ change: of traffic between the Twin | Cities of the Missouri Slope. Par-} ticularly is speeding a menace to the "hives of children: on, the slopes in the western, part of the ity, Here the paved declines are an, ever-pres- ent temptation to .the thoughtless autoist’ to “step on.%ér? 0 1GY With; the danger existing it is'very plain that mothers ought to exercise care to keep their children from in- vading the dangerous places in play. On’ the other hand, regardless of state laws or city ordinances, there | is’a ‘plain obligation on the part of every motorist to drive in such man-, ner that he does, not increase the'| hazard, It is only in exceptional cases that accidents cannot be avoid- | ed by) careful driving. ‘The blame | catinot be shifted from the driver of the ear to the child or the mother in a blanket indictment, The reckless driver of an automo- bile is more dangerous to the com- munity. that the drunken gun-toter of by-gone days who in his sprees . ,foundipleasure in’ “shooting up the| town.” There is only one way to curb him, and that is by the stern hand of the law. For the man who drives an automobile while intoxi- cated there is but one punishment to fit the crime—that of a stiff jail sentence. Strict enforcement of the law does not relieve the individual of a moral] duty to exercise the utmost care. Nor will strict enforcement of the law alone prevent accidgnts. With the}. inerease of automobile traftic there will surely be some accidents. Hé=who believes in conducting him- self’ as a’ good citizen will obey the laW-,and exercise due caution; he; that will not do so should be made| toipay' the penalty. 5 .

Some — interesting experiments have been recently carried out to show the heating and cooling ef- fects of the various types of hats. Seven .individuais were given hats each of a different pattern, and these were worn for two hours outdoors on a blazing summer day. At the end of the time the tempera- ture inside of each hat was taken, with the following results: In the case of a typical soldier’s hat (cloth, and with a hard peak), the reading of the thermometer was | no lesg than 98.6 degrees F. With an ordinary cloth cap, the temper- ature was 94.1 degrees, The hard straw hat gave a record of 92.3 de- grees, while that of the silk hat was 89.6 degrees. The. latter instance is interesting on account of | the popular idea that a silk hat is the hottest of all headwear. The hard straw hat. gave a tem- perature of 86 degrees, showing a higher reading than the soft felt hat, which wag considerably less, with a reading .of only 79.7 degrees. Coolest of all the hats was the soft) white straw or Panama, which gave a reading of only 77.9 degrees. That it pays to keep a Panama well bleached is shown by the fact that one that was badly discolored with exposure gave a temperature three degrees higher than a new one that was very white—S.

HUGE POWER DEVELOPMENT, Private initiative has under way, or pending issuance of permits. by the federal “power commission, water. power, development in the United States totalling 20,000,000 horsepower, or more than twice the horsepower of all the existing in- stallations in the country, ig enormous|activity may well ken as .evidence,that the hydro- lectric power demands of the country will be met as fast as they justify the heavy initial expendi- tures necessary to these under— takings. It is evident that private initia- tive, if not completely discouraged by unwise restriction, will do all that is needful to be done in devel- oping our water power. It is ob- vious, too,: that private initiative will do it in the most economical manner and hence with the greatest likelihood of producing power at} lowest possible costs. | It is probable also that if this| work is left to private initiative, | costly and unnecessary duplica-} tions will be avoided and the ser-) vice of power will be extefded to! the points where it is most needed. ! —San Francisco Chronicle. | A MISSION TO BRAZIL It is very appropriate that the) United States should send a mis-| September and very desirable that | the secretary of state should head it, The visit will For Brazil is one of the main {that prevails in the Western hemi- sphere.

The two men entered the office by a win- dow and on the floor found the body of, Robert with a bdiilet through the head, » Mark: was\no- where to be found.,..Investigation |} by Inspector Birch showed that Mark had learned: with: consider- able. disgust and annoyance of the coming of Robert.

The details were not quite established yet, but this much at least was certain: that Mr. Mark’s brother had. shot himself and spirited Mr. Mark away, and that Audrey had geen at once that he ANTHONY GILLINGHAM, a friena|» pects of the house and stood at the “As much as to say his chance had come.” ! “And that’s:all you heard?” “That’s ‘all, sir—not standing there listening,’ but just passing through the hall, as it might be any time., “Yes.

He and Cayley had run round the-house,to the left. Surely it would have been quicker to have “run round to the right? Undoubted- | ‘ly they went the longest way round. “Why?” he yasked himself, ‘Was fit'to give Mark more time in which ito escape? Only, in that case—why run? Also, how did Cayley know | | | i ‘then that it was Mark who was try- ing’to escape? Ii he had guessed— that..one had shot the other, it was much more likely that Robert: had shot Mark. Indeed, he had admitted that this was what he thought. The first thing he had said when he turned the body over was. ‘Thank God! I was afraid it was Mark.’ But why should he want to give Robert time in which to get away? Ayd again—why run, if he did want to give him time?” Antony went out of the house again to the lawns at the back, and sat down ona bench in view of the office windows, was that sort of man when she open-| ’ “Now then,” he said, “let’s go ed the door to him. Elsie had a con- tribution of her own to make. She! had actually heard Mr. Mark in the | office, threatening his brother. “He said, I heard him say it with my own ears,” ‘It’s my turn now,’ he said, triumphant-like.” “Well, if you think that’s a threat, |’ dear, you’re very particular, I. must say.” D But Audrey. remembered Elsie’s words when she was in front of In- spector Birch. She gave her own evidence with the readiness of one who had already repeated it several times. “Then you didn’t see Mr. Mark at all?” “No, sir; he must have come in before and gone up to his room.” “Well, I think that’s all that 1 want to know. Now what about the other servants?” \ “Elsie heard the master and Mr. Robert talking together,” said Au- drey eagerly. “He was saying—Mr. Mark, I mean—” < “Ah! Who is Elsie, by the way?” “One of the housemaids. Shall 1 send her to you, sir?” “Please.” All that interested Inspector Birch was that Elsie was passing through the hall, and heard voices in the office, “And stopped to listen?” “Certainly not,” said Elsie with dignity. “I was just passing through the hall, just as you might have been yourself, and not supposing they was talking secrets, didn’t think to stop my ears, as no doubt I ought to And she sniffed slight- ly. “Come, come,” said the inspector soothingly. Try tq remember the exact words.” Something about working passage, thought Elsie. “Wm. Working a passage over— could that have been it?” in a “That’s right, sir,” said Elsie! eagerly. “He'd worked his passage over.” “Well?” “And then Mr. Mark said loudly—| sort of triumphant-like—It’s my turn now.

The «servant goes off to look for | Mark, and Cayley goes on with his; book. Mark comes down the stairs, } warns Cayley to stand by in case | he is wanted, and goes to meet his brother. What does Cayley expect? Possibly that he won’t be wanted after all; possibly that his advice may be wanted in the matter, say, of paying Robert’s debts, or getting him a passage back to. Australia; possibly that his physical assistance may be wanted to get an obstreper- ous Robert, out of the house. Well,! he sits there for a moment, and then | goes into the library. Suddenly he, hears a pistol-shot. For the moment/ he would hardly realize what it was. He listens. Perhaps it wasn’t a pistol-shot after all. | After a mo- ment or two he goes to the library door again, The profound’ silence makes him uneasy now. No harm in going into the office just to re- assure himself. So he tries the door| —and finds it locked! What are his emotions now?! Alarm, uncertainty, Something is} happening. Incredible though it seems, it must have been’ a pistol- shot., He is hanging at the door and| calling out to Mark, end there is no answer. Alarm—yes. But alarm for whose safety? Mark’s, obviously. Robert is a stranger; Mark is an! intimate friend. Robert has written a letter that morning, the letter of a} man in a dangerous temper. Robert) is the tough customer; Mark the highly civilized gentleman. If there has been a quarrel. it is Robert who| has shot Mark. He bangs at the; door again. Of course, to Antony, coming sud- denly upon this scene, Cayley’s con~ duct had seemed rather absurd, but then, just for the moment, Cayley had lost his, head. But, as soon as Anthony suggested trying the win- dows, ‘Cayley saw that that was the obvious thing to do.

Antony Gillingham, our own private sleuthnound 1 snall begin today.” Whatever Antony — Gillingham’s other qualifications ior his new pro- fession, he had at any rate a brain which worked clearly and quickly. And this clear brain of his had al- ready told him that he was the only person in the house at that moment} who was unhandicapped in the search for truth. ‘he inspector had arrived in it to find a man dead and a man missing,” It was extremely |, probable, no doubt, that the missing ian nad shot the dead man, But it was: more than extremely provaple, it was alntost certain that the 1 spector would start with the idea tnvt this extremely probable solu- tion was the one true solution, and that, in consequence, he would be less disposed to consider without prejudice any other solution. inspector irch was certainly pre- pared to believe that Mark had shot his brother. Robert had been shown into the office (witness Audrey), Mark had gone in to Robert (witness Cayley); Mark and Robert had been heard talking (witness Elsie); there was @ shot (witness everybody); the room had been entered and Kobert’s body had -been “ tound (witness Cayley and Gillingham) And Mark was missing. Obviously then’ Mark had killed his brother: accidentally, as Cylyey believed, or deliberately, as Elsie’s evidence seemd to sug- gest. But there were other possibilities. It would have interesteu Antony. to know that, just at that time when he waa feeling rather superior to the préjudiced inspector, the inspector himself was letting his mind dwell | lovingly upon the: possibilities in| connection with Mr. Gillingham.

Where do I come in, exactly?” Antony smiled at him. “Well, there’s nothing. to worry about, you know. Besides, I need you.

Mr. Wentland was walking to his house from the barn about 5 p. m., when he felt a sting on his right leg below the knee, and looking down, saw a rattlesnake crawling away. He at once killed the snake and the. bound a rope about the leg above the wound and phoned a neighbor for help. . The leg had begun to swell by this time and friends bound another tourniquet about the member and hurried the injured man to Beach, arriving about 7 p. m. At that time the leg was considerably swollen and. the patient was in great pain, but Dr. Kinney promptly went to work and in a short time Ed was resting easier and is now on the road to recovery. 2 ARRESTS MADE Fargo, N.
