DEATH OF MRS EMMA VAUGHAN
The death of Mrs. Emma Vaughan
occured at her home in Hardwick
Thuraday morning May 24th, at 4
o’clock. Although practically con-
j fined to her bed f«r eight months,
| there had been no noticeable change
J until Sunday when ?he was taken
. with a severe heart attack and gradu-
| ally weakened.
j She was born in Gordon, Ga., July
1 12, 1855, .and was married in 1884
1 to Wiliam J. Vaughr.n. who died in
| 1908. Since her marirage she has
I spent her entire life in this com-
! munity. She was a devoted wife
! and mother, and her life was one of
| sacrifice and service to her family
j.and friends. All tho.se who knew her
I loved her and she will long be re-
•ered for her many kind acts
in selfish life. She was a mem-
i the Methodist church, giving
it art to God in early girlhood,
all her life kept close to her
enly Father, who sustained her
■rows. Surely in

bergh, fresh from his tri
umphs in Central America
and the West Indies, is now looking
for new worlds to conquer aeronau-
tlcally, city aud aviation officials are
planning new ways to make airports
safer.
Flyers arc interested In the dust
problem not because they meet dust
aloft, hut because they muBt reckon
with the problem when they are laud
ing. Officials are interested because
they are watchful over the safety of
thousands of spectators filled with a
new zeal for aviation because uf Col.
Lindbergh’s prowess.
So seriously have the officials of the
Boston Airport at South Boston real
ized that question that they have con
ducted special experiments with dust-
Isylug apparatus and chemicals to de
termine which are most effective.
The problem has arisen only in re
cent years—one might say months—
with the increase in "galleries” at the
big aviation fields. Public interest
haa become so arousc-d to flying that
it is no uncommon sight to see hun
dreds and even thousands of persons
ukeoff in any i
big i
n. women and children trample
over the fields before the start of the
fliers, tearing up the turf and earth
so that It may become quite dusty.
When the pilots are ready to take
off and the crowds pushed buck lie-
hind the ropes, the aviators may find
the field covered with fine dust.
As the plane starts down the run
way. the propeller whirring, great
clouds of dust arise, getting into the
eyes of airmen and spectators alike,
and creating a dangerous situation.
To reduce that danger so far as
may be humanly possible, officials of
the South Boston Alt port are using
calcium chloride, a chemical that be
cause of Its affinity for moisture acts
as a perfect dust layer, much in the
same manner of a moist blanket over
the field.
Since that action was tuken some
months ago the officials have breathed
easier—in every sense <>f that expres
sion—and have made it posr.ihle fer
spectators to observe takeoffs without

S CIENTIFIC research Is gradual
ly finding out why dust kills
one out of every seven persons.
The Harvard Medical School, the
United States Public Health Service,
various insurance companies and the '
great labor organizations of the coun 1
try are all interested in the problem. •
For example, according to Ur. L. R. j
Thompson, of the L’nitcd States Pub .
lie Health Service, the sickness record !
of granite workers showB that the j
greater part of Illness proceeds from
respiratory conditions aud that respir- ;
alent among granite workers os among
workers in general industry.
“It is clear." raid Ur. Thompson,
"that wherever there is a great
amount of granite dust there Is u dan
gerous hazard, a mortality which
seems Inevitable und which Is rising
all the time.”
Incidentally, according to Federal
statistics, from 4.500,000 to 5,000,000
persons ore employed in the dusty
trade, but everyone, from the man
who fours “dry sweeping" by house
wives on their front steps to the mo
torist who must find his way through
clouds of dust on the highway, is af
fected by the menace of fine particles
in the air.
Various theories have been proposed
to explain why dust should be such a
danger to henltb. The usual cxplana
tlon seeko the cause In the tenderness
of the mucous membrane lining of
the throat und nose.
Healthy throat* and noses secrete a
(laid, the mucus, which is Just -uffl-
dent to take care of oru ry dust In
the air. If that atuouut should be ex
ceeded. the dust becomes too great
to be handled by the mucus and the
dust penetrates into the decrer parts
of the body lining.
Dust Is of various kinds, but wheth
er It is organic or inorganic in origin
makes no difference. What makes
the dust particles dangerous is their
“hape. Particles that have sharp cor
nels. such as dust from marble, metal,
wood or .-tone, cm into the membrane
very much as an old-fashioned knitting
needle cuts Into worsted and there
the dust particles become fastened.
The mucus fluid referred to passes
over those particles, moving them to
and fro. and causing the membrane
to become tender aud ther inflamed.
Should the pro- ss become continu
ous, a* so often happens, serious sinus
conditions result and in aggravated
cases, tuberculosis may be their termi
nation That. In brief, is wbat happens.
Scientists have tried with all the
resources at their command to corn-
bat dust in the air, but so far. w.*h
