Next high in number of deaths were the 1942 night club fire In Boston, killing 492, and the explosion ex-plosion of two ammunition ships at Port Chicago, California, in 1944, which cost 322 lives. The other ten disasters in which 100 or more died are: Hartford, Conn., circus fire, 1944, 168 deaths; Texas and Oklahoma tornado, 1947, 167 deaths; Pennsylvania, Penn-sylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland Mary-land tornado, 1944, 159 deaths; Cleveland, Ohio, gas tank explosion, 1944, 130 deaths; Oklahoma, Missouri, Miss-ouri, and Arkansas tornado, 1945, 119 deaths; Atlanta, Ga., hotel fire, 1948, 119 deaths; Southern and Midwestern Mid-western States, tornadoes, 1942, 111 deaths; Centralia, III, coal mine explosion, 1947, 111 deaths; New York Bay, N. Y., destroyer explosion, ex-plosion, 1944, 100 deaths; Northeastern Northeas-tern United States, wind and snow storm, 1950, 100 deaths. From a continuing study of all catastrophic accidents those in which five or more lives are lost the statisticians note that there have been more such accidents during dur-ing the post war years than during the war years, but the number of deaths has been lower. In 1941-1945 there were 482 catastrophes costing 8,801 lives, but in 1946-1950 thei'd were 568 such accidents with a combined death toll of 6,412. Deaths from military aviation were not Included In-cluded in the study. Occurring most frequently, the statisticians report, are conflagrations, conflagra-tions, burns, and explosions, with motor vehicle accidents ranking second. Man Released from Jail Long Enough to Take Bride CLEVELAND, Ohio-Edward P. O'Reilly got married her recently, re-cently, but it will be quite some time before he can take his bride on a honeymoon. O'Reilly was sentenced to 10-25 10-25 years in the penitentiary after pleading guilty to a charge of armed robbery. On July 23, he was released from Jail just long enough to marry Mrs. Ruth S. Creagh. He was returned to jail immediately immediate-ly after the ceremony. His bride settled down patiently to wait. Everlasting Mstcli Became Only a Light that Failed NEW YORK, N. Y. Every now and then someone asks, "What's become of the 'everlasting' match? Who owns patents on it? Why isn't it being sold?" Frequently the questioner implies im-plies American match manufacturers manufactur-ers are keeping this device off the market. The facts are these: This match was patented by Ringer Rin-ger in Switzerland in 1928. He called it "the repeatedly ignitible match." In the 1930's it was introduced intro-duced in Holland, where it enjoyed some novelty sale. It was, in effect, an elongated match-head, the ignitible portions of which were separated by chemical chem-ical retardants. Ey very careful nursing a user could light it, blow out the flame, and thus get an average of about 40 lights along With 40 room-filling whiffs of a vile odor from the retardants. In Holland, three of these match sticks sold for the equivalent of 5 j cents or roughly 120 lights for a nickel. In this country, ever since j the Civil War, people have been atye to buy a box of safety matches, ! containing 40 sticks, for a penny. ; In other words, 3 pennies here pur- cnase as many lights as 5 pennies spent for the so-called "everlasting" "everlast-ing" match. U. S. Patents on this match expired ex-pired in 1945. Anyone can start manufacture of the repeatedly ignitible match. Chances are no one will, though, for the United States enjoys the lowest per capita expenditure for matches of any country in the world. And only here are matches given away 193 billion free paper book matches yearly! Ash Tray, Cigarette Lighter Installed in Marine Planes WITH THE FIRST MARINE AIRCRAFT WING IN KOREA To smoke or not to smoke has long been a question bothering Marine aviators, since their single-seat fighter-bombers had no facility for disposing of ashes. But now, Chance Vought, maker of the world-famous Corsair line, has solved the problem by installing install-ing not only an ash tray, but also a cigarette lighter to help pilots soothe jaded nerves on the way home from a combat strike. The new cockpit fixture replaces the time-tested method of oper.ing the canopy and allowing, the slipstream slip-stream to carry away ashes. The freezing Korean weather made, this and other stop-gap measures highly impractical. Mr. ad Mrs. Jack McLaren spent Sunday in Ogden, Utah.
