SKY SHOW
PLAYS HAVOC
Aurora Borealis an Annual
Visitor Wrecks Tele
graph Service
While citizens of Columbia enjoyed a
most unusual sky show staged by the
Aurora Borealis last Saturday night tel
egraph telephone and other electrical
equipment suffered severely
The electrical phenomenon was first
felt in the local office of the Western
Itninn at A 30 oclock Saturday evening
By 7 oclock the local office had lost all J Treaty
communication and telegraph lines
throughout the country were practically
paralized A few unsuccessful attempts
were made to send messages after 7
oclock but at 7 JO the wires were com
pletely grounded by the phantom of the
north
According to C A Raum who is inj
charge of the local office of the Western
Union this is the most severe electrical i
display that he has experienced during
his period of service forty six years Mr
Raum says that each year this disturb
ance occurs butit has never been of
such long duration nor has it extended so
far south Another feature ot this latest
visitation of Aurora Borealis was the
high electrical current which it carried
So severe was the current as it came into
the local office that the platinum points
on all me senaing macimics u r6
bugs as the operators call them were
burned off The older and regular send
ing keys were not affected except lhat
the insulation -was partly destroyed
A nn SDOt group 50000 miles across
which appeared suddenly Saturday five
years ahead of the scientific schedule
is the fundamental cause for this latest
manifestation of aerial pyrotechnics ac
cording to leading astronomers of the
country It is known that celestial short
circles always follow in the wake of the
appearance of sun spots
Local telephone service was not Imped
ed nor were vvireless operators disturbed
in sending messages

Th Ira cue of Women Voters is a
national organiration of women of all
political parties wlio want their voles
to count for good goternment and who
stand for education along political lines
It was organized at St Louis in March
1919 at a session of the National Ameri
can Woman Suffrage Association At
the Chicaco convention of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
in February 1920 it became a separate
organization During the fourteen months
of its independent existence it has Deen
organized in eicry stale in the Union
Although many politicians throughout
the United Slates have fought against
the league local members believe that if
the organization can endure the opposi
tion and remain in the hands of high
minded workers it will accomplish much
along the lines for which it stands
namely good legislation for women and
children and government efficiency
Durinc the last session of the Legis
lature the Missouri league stood behind
such laws as the Childrens Code
mothers pensions minimum wage and
better schools The work which was
carried on by various representatives of
the league who were in Jefferson City
at the time was reported throughout the
state by means of the Spotlight a paper
started by Miss Marie Ames of the St
Louis league
The League of Women Voters m Col
urnbia actively carries on its work with
meetings once a month and lectures on
important questions of government -Al
though suggestions for the work to be
done here are received in weekly bul
letins from state headquarters in St
Louis tlie local organization is allowed
a great deal of freedom in working out
its own program according to its special
