By press, radio and telephone of-
ficials explained that the Aurora,
rarely seen in Southern or Western
Europe, was caused by an electrical
disturbance on the sun’s surface.
Many villagers in more remote
sections of Europe knelt in prayer
as the Northern Lights spread
across the sky last night.
CThey’ve been shooting off over
sections of North America since
Saturday).
It was the first Aurora in West-
ern Europe since 1709, French sol-
entists said
Some in Switzerland thought a
new war had begun. Telephone
systems were tied up in some parts
of France, and a few villagers
shouted, "C’est la guerre!" some
thought, the world was coming to
an end.
In England, the Windsor fire de-
partment was called out in the be-'
lief Windsor Castle was in flames.
There were many other fire calls
throughout Europe.
The lights were seen clearly in
Italy, Spain, Portugal and even
southernmost Glbraitar; Austria.

the British Isles
Communications were normal to-
day, but short wave radio between
London and New York was disrupt-

discharged particles shot out from
the sun, giving rise to electrical ef-
fects when they enter the earths
atmosphere.

Uncle Sam cast about today for
ways to bolster American defenses
before a turbulent, quarreling world.
More men. more guns, added
strength in the air and at sea.
stronger defenses on land— these
are the needs advanced by protag-
onstst of armaments increase.
They find their reasons in the
Spanish Civil War, which for a
year and one-half has fed Europe’s
war jitters; the Chino-Japanese
war, with its frequent incidents in-
volving foreign nations; armaments
building by other nations.
Thecivu warin Spain has be-
come a testing ground for the ar-
maments of all nations, thrown in
to aid one side or other.
It is possible that that test one
day may determine whether one na-
tion or the other shall find it ex-
pedient to challenge another to
conflict, which could embroil all
Europe.
The war, too, is an ever present
visual display of the Fascist-Leftist
cleavage In Europe, with Fascist
countries backing Spanish Insur-
gents—although the fighting itself
seems to have become a holdcut.

her 98th birthday Wednesday.
Mre. C. C. Bell, 108 East Syca-

wife of the man for whom Bell
Avenue was named, looked forward
to the century mark as she re-
viewed the eventful years of her
life and declared. "I don't feel so

Wednesday afternoon from 3 to
5 o'clock she was to receive rela-
tives and friends. Her niece, Mia.
W. B. Freneks, South Locust Streot,
made her a two-tiered angel cake
which has 98 pink candles on it.
Mrs Francis lias made the birthday
cake for "Aunt Betty", as Mrs. Bell
is affectionately called by her rela-
tives. for a number of years.
Born in Pittsylvania Court House
district, Virginia, tai 1840 as Almira
Elizabeth Inge, her family moved
while she was still a child to Ken-
tucky and came to Texas in 1858
when she was 19 years of age. She
attended school in Kentucky, hav-
ing to walk over a mile and carry
her baby sister most of the time,
and when she came to Texas she
taught school near her home in
Fannin County. She married C. C.
Bell in USX They moved to Den-
ton in 1868 when it was only a
mere village and where the court
house square is now. then was the
favorite hunting ground for wild,
turkeys and prairie chickens.

They owned the land along what
is now Bell Avenue and were over
half a mile from town. Bell was the
second teacher in Denton. teaching
the little private school held in the
old Masonic Building on South Elm
Street.
The most exciting adventure in
her long life, Mrs. Bell says, is the
time Indians raided their place
near Denton, stealing horses and
other livestock. She rates as the
second most eventful period of her
life the period when her family,
parentsand three brothers and five
sisters moved to Texas across the
wild Arkansas and Missouri coun-
try.
"Before I came to Texas I
thought it would be like heaven,"
Mrs. Bell said, "and I guess it lias
been.”
