LIGHTNING DOES " DAMAGE IN CITY
Boom! Cr-r-r-rsh! Were you one of the many hundreds who jumped a foot or so when that terrific peal of thunder shook the city late Monday afternoon? Did you think that the Kaiser's long range guns were levelled upon Richmond? At any rate it gave you somewhat of an idea of what war may be like in Paris. The lightning struck a 25 foot chimney on the roof above the J. M. Coe Printing Company, 915 Main street,
splitting the chimney in twain and
sending a shower of bricks and mor-
tar crashing onto the roof and down
into the alley three stories below. It also loosened a few gallons of black soot and scattered it promiscuously over the evening meal at Finney's Candy shop, and ruined the electric light system in that vicinity temporarily. No one wa Rin lured.
patrons ate their evening meal by lamp light, but at Finney's it was necessary to call on - supper entirely for the kitchen . was laden with' black soot from the smashed chimney. The main Dart of the chimney remained . upright after the crash, but toppled at so dangerous an angle that the police closed the alley entrance in the rear for fear of accident. Workin groen Tuesday began tearing down the rest of the structure. During the interim, work was suspended In the press room of the Coe Printing company as It was feared if the chimney came down it would crash through the roof. The total loss probably will not reach more than $150. The Home Telephone company has between 50 and 75 telephones out invarious parts of the city. Burned out fuses is the cause of the telephone trouble. " The Western Union company reported one wire down to Cincinnati, but the service was not Impaired as the company has two other direct
wires to the Ohio city. No other damage was suffered and the service remains Intact to other parts of the country. The Postal Telegraph com
pany also reported all wires In good shape.

Woclworth Building at Night.
In preparation for possible air raids on New York by German airplanes,
the police commissioner has ordered
all display lights in the city at night dimmed. This will eliminate land
marks which otherwise would guide the bombing squadron and make easy
marks at which to aim bombs. The
Woolworth building, towering high in the air and usually brilliantly illuminated with a scientific lighting system, will be one of the buildings dimmed. The Statue of Liberty probably will be darkened too, under the order.

SENATOR OFFERS
BILL TO MAKE U. SBONE DRY
Would Prohibit Making or
Sale of All Liquors as Beverages. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 11.
Impetus was given preparations ror the senate drive for nation-wide prohibition for the period of the war to
day when Senator Jones of Washing
ton introduced an amendment to tne agricultural extension bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of all liqu
ors for beverage purposes.
Although the prohibition leaders are prepared to urge the amendment
vigorously, there are many senators who question its constitutionality, and are looking into the subject seriously. They hold that prohibition is a matter which must be considered from a constitutional standpoint, and that absolute prohibition for the whole nation, even as a war measure, cannot be effected without a constitutional amendment, which already has been submitted to the states. They hold that the Jones amendment interferes with state rights. Senator King of Utah, who is a Prohibitionist, said he would not vote for the Jones amendment for that reason. With respect to distilled liquors, the Jones amendment would make it unlawful to "sell, furnish, or transport distilled spirit for beverage purposes, and no distilled spirits held in bond at the date of approval of this act shall be removed therefrom for beverage purposes." Thirty days after approval of the act the use of all foods and fruits in the manufacture of beer and wine for beverage purposes would be prohibited.
HOW TO CAN
BERRIES For dewberries, blackberries, loganberries, huckleberries, raspberries, and currants pactically the same methods of canning may be used. The condition of the fruit will have much to do w ith the quality of the product. Berries should be gathered in shallow trays or baskets and not in deep vessels which
allow them to be bruised and crushed. They should be uniformly ripe, sound, and as large as possible. After the berries have been sorted carefully and washed lightly by placing in a colander and pouring water over them, instead of immersing them in water, pack as closely as possible with
out crushing. This can be done better by putting a few berries into the jar, pressing them gently into place, and proceeding layer by layer, than by nearly filling the jar loosely and then trying to press them down. Fill jars full of fruit and cover with hot sirup. Boiling berry juice or other sirups can be used instead of sugar sirup. Partially seal jars. Boil (process) pints 10 minutes and quarts 12 minutes. Seal. When cold test for leaks and store in cool, dark, dry place. The use of a sugar sirup, made by boiling 3 pounds and 9 ounces of sugar to 1 gallon of water and straining adds to the flavor of the canned berries. The use of berry juice expressed from extra berries instead of water in making the sirup will give a richer color and flavor. U. S. Department of Agriculture.
