GMC’S 49TH YEAR COMES TO CLOSE (Co, led from fron 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 fee death as the rnal. and Mrs. 1 j ledgeville, one ghun of Milled* two daughters. M M C. Brantley of Mil- on Mr. Fred Vau- ille, and an adopted ■h. C. B. Ryles, and one John Lo'-’.hart of Gor- \ \ Show W HILE Col. Charles A. Lind 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 SHARP DUST PARTICLES ‘HCQK’ UIE1R WAY INTO MEMBRANES AND DISEASE RESULTS Science Tells Why Some Trades, Dry Sweeping and Mo toring on Certain Highways Are Dangerous to Health in Bringing on Respiratory Maladies.

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 squad of Company B, c Corp.
