Work in Rural Districts.

Another interesting feature of the
work being promoted by the state
committee is what is known as the
the county work. the main factor
OF which Is the organization of young
men and boys in small towns and
rural communities for bible study
and personal work. These groups, in
addition, organize debating clubs, lit
erary societies, educational classes
and also take up some athletic work.
The state committee employs one
man, Mr.. Fred Hanson, graduate of
the state college at Ames, who de-
votes his entire time to the small
town and rural work. Four counties
in northwestern Iowa have been or
ganized and a competent secretary
placed In charge in each one.
In the judgement OF many well
posted men, the County department of
the Y. M. c. A. is destined to play
an important part in rural uplift
work. II such as is being done in the
counties already organized could be
promoted in fifty counties in the
state within the next ten years, the
showing OF the 1920 census would be
different from that Of 1910. The
county association work is a big fac
tor in helping to make the rural life
interesting and attractive to the young
people. 1t promotes the social life
and awakens community interest
which will keep young people from
wanting to rush to the cities.
The state committee hopes this
coming year to add at least one more
man to the state board for promoting
the rural work.

ICE THICK IN RIVER.
Steamers and Tugs Have Difficulty
Reaching the CITY.

The warmer weather OF yesterday had
but little melting effect on the ice on the
river and 1T hardened up last night con-
siderably more than it thawed during the
day. All day yesterday the river chan
mel between this city and Alexandria was
full of broken ice, moving up and down
with the tides. and being gradually work.
ed into shoal water by the winds.
The thick masses of ice which have
been forming on the fats since the be-
ginning of the freeze in the northwester
OF Thursday night and Friday swung
across the channel below this city and
gave the steamers and tugs some little
trouble in forcing their way through it,
Yesterday afternoon most of this ice
had grounded and the ice in the channel
was mainly that which was made Friday
night. The ice is heavy enough, how
ever. to stop navigation by sailing craft
unassisted by tugs. and there have been
no arrivals of vessels here under sail for
several days.
The tug d. NJ. Key of this city was
yesterday armed with her ice-brea king
pillow In preparation for the coming OF
heavy Ice on the river. The placing in
position of the pillow of the tug James
o. Carter, which was started several
days ago. was completed yesterday, and
the vessel started down the river to
break her way into Quantico creek to
get three oyster boats, reported caught
in the ice there.

OF FURNACE
FILLS HOME WITH STEAM
Damage to Hot Water Equip.
ment at Isaac B. Jones'
Residence.

With report like the firing of can
non, a hot water furnace in the cellar
of the home OF Isaac B. Jones. 2O32 P
street northwest, exploded yesterday aft
ernoon and caused damage amounting to
several hundred dollars
Fresh coal had been placed in the fur
mace shortly before O'Clock. About a
quarter of an hour later the occupants
OF the house and residents of the neigh
borhoOd were startled by a loud explosion
which shook the house. In several min
utes the house was full Of steam.
No. 1 engine company was called on
a local alarm and the firemen extinguish-
ed the blazing Goals and swept the water
from the basement of the house. The
only damage was to the furnace and
pipes.
Although the firemen think gases FORM
ed from the fresh coal placed in the
furnace caused the explosion, occupants
of the house declared last night that the
furnace was an old one. and that the ex-
plosion is thought by them to have re-
suited because of some defective part.

HIGHER TIDES FLOAT CRAFT,
Vessels Stranded in Potomac River
Docks Can Get AWAY.

Low tides, caused by heavy northwest
winds, are over. Yesterday the tide was
again normal.
Vessels lying on bottom in many docks
were f1oated and moved into deep water
They can get away as soon as the ice
will allow.
The little two-masted schooner T. J.
Brennan, laden with oysters, was caught
about twenty feet from the dock at the
18th street wharf market Friday. Pur-
chasers were unable to get aboard to
buy.
The Brennan lay in her isolated posi-
ton all day Friday until the tide got
high enough for her to be worked to
the dock, early yesterday morning. Riv-
ermen state that northwest gales, heavy
enough to cause low tides, have been
more numerous this fall and winter than
for several years past.

PROGRESS In Wreckine the Big Bridge

Gerick & Gerick, contrac' ors, VINO
have the job of taking down the ola
Great Northern bridge at Albeni Falls,
have been considerably handicapped In
the work by delays in the arrival OF
shipments of material and equipment
and by the unusual high water. How
ever. the work has progressed quite
satisfactorily considering conditions.
The lS0-foot span over the smaller
channel will be taken down first. Pillng
to support the false work is being placed
with considerable difficulty. as it cannot
be driven into the solid rock. Five
bents have been placed, two on the west
side OF the span and three on the east
eide, leaving gap of 81 feet to be span
ned by timber truss especially designed
for the work. The same piling will
later be used in taking down the 300
foot span on the east end.
A practical test will be applied to the
false work before any of the members IN
the steel structure are disconnected to
make sure the false work is strong
enough to sustain the heavy weight OF
the span. This test will consist OF TAX
ing readings with an instrument before
and after the required load has been
applied.
