QUERY BOX

MY Dear Mics March;
VIII you please tell me just what is
meant by the term "old maId?' nave
heard the word applied by so many
people who are not the least old-maid.
lsh in any way, but just happen to
have passed the thirty mark.
ELIZABETH.
The "old maid" Of a quarter OF
century ago has almost completely
vanished Formerly when that word
was mentioned. it called TO our minds
a vision OF superanuated being who
loved tabby cats. drank tea and was
quite content to stay at home and darn
the stockings for the other members
OF the family. We seldom see that
type now. and the old maid of today
Is in many cases more up to date and
younger in her ways than the young
married woman Il is no longer con
sldered disgrace to be an old maid.
but quite an honor. for the bachelor
girl uses her spare time TO improve
her mind. while many Of the married
women do not have time for anything
beyond their home duties.

Narrow Escape of h. mates Is Miraculous. RAIN L0OSENS BRICKS OF
 CHIMNEY WHICH FALLS However, All Inside Manage to
 Flee in Safety. 1uilding is One of the oldest i'm Mont- sonery and the Cause Of Ac- eident is Un-
 known.

without warming a chimney crashed through the roof and veranda or two-story brick residenc at 213 Wash ington Avenue at o'clock yesterday morning. Within two minutes after the crumbling of the chimney. the roof twisted and crashed through To the hrst floor, completely demolfshing the residence. Although there were sev- eral persons In the house at the time, no one was hurt
 Had 1t not been for the short time elapsing between the crumbling of the chimney and the fall of the roof sev- srHf persons would have been killed. Warned by the first crash. Miss Lottfe Cameron. Walter B. Cochran. Mrs. H. N Graves and two little children, togeth- CT with two negro servants, were en- ab1ed to reach the sidewalk in safety
 Miss Cameron was upstairs on the second floor at the time of the nrst crasn, and escaped to the sidewalk just as the roof of the residence crashed through the veranda and the second f1oor. Walter Cochran was eating breakfast at the time. and hearing the falling chimney escaped to the sioe- walk before the roof caved in.
 Mrs. Graves and her two little boys were on the front porch at the time of the accident and reached a place Of safety bfore 6 corner of the veranda near them was flled with bricks and heavy timber.
 Because there was c fire in the kitch- en stove at the time of the accident, both the fire alarm and the police alarm were rung. The departments respond. cd promptly. but beyond stretching ropes to keep people from endangering themselves. their assistance was not needed.
 The house was occupied by Mrs. L. E. Evans and family who conducted a boarding house. The house was the property of Greil Brothers. It was one of the oldest in Montgomery. having been converted from a one-story resi- dence to two stories some time ago.
 While no cause has been assigned for the accident, 1t is thought that the heavy rain of yesterday afternoon had softened the bricks of the chimney, which was first to fall. The heavy weight on the roof caused that portion of the house to give way, and the com- piets wreckage of the house followed.

EIGHT BILLS GO BY DEFAULT Governor Neglects to
 Sign. CALL FOR EXPENDITURE Three Bills Are Those of Repre-
 sentative Gunter. Bill for Appropriation for old soi- diers Home Goes Among the
 Flight Which Died of
 Neglect.

Now that things have settled down after the legislative session, and the decks of the ship of state are cleared of the debris of battle. a perusal of the lists of bills passed and bills signed by the Governor shows that eight of l them became void. after passage of both houses. because of Governor Cos mer's failure or refusal to attach his signature within the ten days allotted him.
 Most of the bills which went by de- fault call for appropriation or expend- iture of some kind. and it is generally regarded that the Governors failure to sign them was occasioned by his ef- forts after retrenchment and retrievai of the States treasury.
 The bills were: House Bills 230, 229, 247. 157. 349: Senate Bills, A. 128. 112. Three of them were introduced orig inally by Representative Gunter of vided that the fees collected by the Clerk Of the Supreme Court for copy ing records be retained by him instead of being paid into the State Treasury as Section 5993 of the State Code now provides.
 House Bills 22s and 2so. also by Mir Gunter. and regulating elections. were killed by the Governors failure to sign them. House Bill 229 provided that the Probate Judge of each county be allowed 1-2 cents for each name for the list of qualified voters which he shall furnish to each beat before each regular election.
 Senate Bill 11s. by Senator Heacock. was killed by the Governor. It provid- ed for appropriation of $2.0o0 for re- pairs and insurance for the Old Sol. diers' Home at Mountain Creek.
 Senate Bill 11S. by Senator Black mon. providing for the >perpetuation of the Federal Government surveys in the State, went by default. as did Senate Bill A. by Senator, Thomas. amending Section 1894 or the Code as to compro- mises on school lands to which titles have been secured by land holders.
 House Bill 34s. by MT. Rice. which had been passed to refund to municipal corporations of Alabama the tax paid by them for recording mortgages and deeds of trust issued by them, died through the neglect of the Governor as did House Bill 157. by Pitts of Per ry. amending Sections 51 and 52 of tho Code as to the collection and payment of tag taxes.
