0'LOUGHLIN is
GIVEN REWARD
Heroic Policeman Gets Re-
ward Five Years After
Brave Act.
HAS MANY MEDALS

Police Sergeant Michael j.
OLoughlin, of the 81st. precinct sta
ton, West New Brighton, who was
recently detailed to the Goth. pre-
cinct station, T"ottenyille, has been
notified that the state controller has
forwarded to Police Commissioner
Baker a medal meant for him. The
medal, which is presented by the
state of New York, is given for an
act of bravery performed by
twenty years O'Loughlin has been q
member of NV York's finest and in
that time har earned for himself a
record that is the envy Of every other
member of the department.
AS proof of the many deeds of
heroism accomplished by him
O'Loughlin hs at present the possess
or of eleven m Medals and two honora-
BILE mentions. Some of the medals
he holds were presented by congress,
others by the Life Saving Association
and others by citizens of Brooklyn,
where O'Loughlin has lived all his
life and where all of his heroic acts
were performed. The particular feat
for which O'Loughlin is being honor
ed by the state of New York occurred
In 1906, while he was attached to
the 147th. precinct, Williamsburg,
which Captain Patrick Murphy, of
the Goth. precinct, commanded be-
fore coming to Tottenville. Joseph
Quinlan, s~ixty-seven years old, had
accidentally fallen into a sewer that
was filled with poisonous gases.
O'Loughlin went into the sewer and
after a desperate struggle, during
which he was almost overcome by
the gases. managed to drag the old
man out. He was in a hospital for
several weeks as a result of his ex-
perience. For a time it was thought
that he would never be able to take
up his duties as a policeman again.
In 1899 O'Loughlin saved James
O'Brien from drowning and in 1908
he rescued James McGrath from the
water at the foot of Amity street
Brooklyn. O'Loughlin is married
and resides at 10 Strong street

RURAL ROUTES AND ROADS.
Postal Department Has Become Strong
AGENCY of HIGHWAY Improvement.

Postal Department Has Become Strong
Agency of Highway Improvement.
The marvellous development Of the
rural mail service shows how greatly
the people prize this daily blessing and
indicates that they would be extreme
ly reluctant to give it up or be de
prived of 1t for any cause. This being
so. the postal department has in its
power TO become a stronger agency
for highway Improvement.
There are certainly few communities
that would give up their mail service
rather than improve their roads, and
II the department should see III to put
1t up to the people where the roads
are bad. give them the choice OF max
ing better roads or doing without mail,
II seems that they would. in common
parlance. get busy" The department
has sent out a number OF bulletins
containing a warning. and these are
said to have been partially effective,
Part OF the last bulletin issued to post
masters contained this:
You are directed to inform yourself
with reference to the condition OF
roads and bridges on the rural routes
out OF your office. and If you find that
they require improvements you should
| present the matter in the strongest and
most positive way to the patrons and
road officials. informing them that i'm.
provements must be made as soon as
practicable IT, after a reasonable
time has elapsed. the Improvements
have not been made or started you
will report the fact to this office in or
der that action may be taken looking
to the discontinuance of the service.
"The department is not immedia tely
concerned in elaborate road improve
ments. but In the interest OF the beSt
service to the largest number Of pa
irons 1t must insist upon roads being
kept in good repair. the lack of which
is usually due to improper drainage
and unsuitable grading and surface
work. which can be easily and cheap l,
accomplished by timely work and tn,
regular use of the split log drag o
similar device"

The expression knocked into a cock

perhaps its origin is not so generally

all were knocked down except the
three at the corners the set was said

MAKING WAR ON TIE RAT.

Government Advises Farmers to Use
Concrete In Building Construction.
The United States department of
agriculture. discussing the extermina-
ton of rats. strongly advocates the
using OF concrete for the construction
OF every class of building. The Inn
portance of this precaution cannot be
overestimated When the immense
loss caused annually by these vermin
Is considered the need of stopping their
depredations is more clearly realized.
Ii has been repeatedly stated on good
authority that every rat i'm the coun-
try causes an annual property loss of
over 81. The total cost of this pest to
the country will never be known, rs
their number cannot be even roughly
estimated. The department of agri-
culture says:
The best way TO keep rats from
buildings. whether in the city or In
the country, is by the use of cement
construction. In constructing dwell
ing houses the additional cost of max
ing the foundations rat proof Is slight
as compared with the advants ges. The
cellar walls should have concrete foot
ings, and the walls themselves should
be laid in cement mortar. The cellar
floor should be of medium rather than
lean concrete and all water and drain
pipes should be surrounded with con-
crete.
"Rat holes may be permanently
closed with a mixture of cement, sand
and broken glass or sharp bits of
crockery or stone. The space between
the sheathIng and lath to the height
of about foot should be filed with
concrete.
"Granaries, corncribs and poultry
houses may be made rat proof by n
liberal use of concrete in the founda-
tons and floors. For rat proof crib a
well drained site should be chosen.
The outer walls, laid in cement, should
be sunk about twenty inches into the
ground. The space within the walls
should be thoroughly grouted with ce-
ment and broken stone and finished
with rich concrete for Il floor. Upon
this the structure may be built. Even
the walls OF the crib may be of con
crete Corn will not mold in contact
with them provided there is good ven
tilation and the roof is water tight"
