Editor Times: Following is a
solution to the Los Angeles puz-
zle:
Article cost 81 plus 20 per
cent equals $1.10, which would be
selling price, leaving out cost of
selling, as Mr.. Houston, says de-
duct % per cent selling cost, in
stead of add % per cent for SELL
ing, which would give $0.242 for
cost of selling. Deducting this
from $1.10 will leave $0.S5S.
H. e. B.
COS North Proctor.
Editor Times: In reply to your
mathematical problem, l beg TO
submit the following solution,
which in my mind, weakened by
evenings of toll. Is very, very
simple:
Cost of article ......$1.00
Cost of sale ......... ~
Net profit ........... 10
$1.32
On the principal that l bought
lot for 500 and wished to
realize a profit of $50, and the
cost of sale Is $50, consequently
the lot would have to be sold for
5000.
My weak mind will not permit
me to 60 farther. Yours,

MANY DECISIONS
 BY SUPREME COURT
Grip of the Commerce Commission on Rates
 Frightened

Washington January 9.-The grip of the interstate commerce commission over the commerce of the country was frightened today through series of decisions by the supreme court f
 'fie principle was laid down that shippers suffering from civil injuries from railroads must go to the commis- sion before rushing into the courts for relief.
 The paramount authority of the com mission in reasonab1e rate making was upheld by the decision that the federal district court of Minnesota was wrong in preventing the endorsements of the commissions reduced rates on lumber from the Pacific coast. oregon and Mon tana points to St. Paul. Omaha and Chicago.
 The legislative field touching the ac- ceptance of goods by railroads for in- terstate shipment was marked forever as federal territory, and states were warned to keep off.
 The supremacy over state laws of the federal "hours of serve law was upheld.
 The fight over the lumber rates had been the most exhaustive. The com mission rates eradicated substantially all increase in rates proposed by rail- roads from the northwest in 1908.
 The court laid down the principle that railroad dividends were not to be a sole basis for judging the reasonable ness of rates, but that conditions as a whole were to be taken into consid eration. The fact that the committed allowed a higher rate to Omaha than to St. Paul was said to be justified by previous rate distinctions between the cities by the railroads themselves. The validity of the Hepburn rate law was not involved.
 Much attention was attracted to Jus tice McKenna's opinions annulling the North Carolinas law, which required railroads to receive goods for inter- state transportation whether they had published rates for the proposed ship ment or not. Justice McKenna referred to the interstate commerce laws, which forbade railroade to "engage'' in. trans portation of goods until they had fixed, published rate.
 "If the carrier obeys the state law, he incurs the penalty of the federal law" said the justice. If he obeys the federal law, he incurs the penalty of the state law. Manifestly one au- thority must be paramount, and when it speaks the other must be silent
 He cited the state law.

W. Leslie Welton's Views

W. Leslie Welton: "The New York state building law covering the requirements of a fireproof building just about expresses my idea of this kind of construction, but I believe that two inches of porous terra cotta surrounding the concrete Is essen- tial to the f1awless fire safety structure. The New York definition of fireproof building is: A structure with walls of stone. brick or Portland cement, an Iron or steel frame in which the space be- tween the sleepers (the floor beams) have been solidly filled with f1reproof material up to the floor; the outside windows Of metal or wood covered with metal inside windows and doors of wood covered with metal or wood that has been treated with some fireproofing patented process: to be built of some fireproof material filled solidly between floor and ceiling with terra cotta floors constructed of steel floor beams tied together at frequent in- tervals and filled in with brick arches. hollow tile proofing. reinforced concrete or porous terra cotta; the columns and girders of fireproof buildings carrying either lime or dead loads should be pro- rected with not less than twos inches of fire resistants.
 "The Empire building is the most fire proof building of this city. as 1t has the latest improved precautionary safeguards in its concrete covered beams and enclosed stairway with screen glass doors The new American Trust building Is to be along these lines and will be one o the finest fireproof structures in thi. state at its completion. The fact that the insurance companies allow Birming ham good rate for fire policies is 6 sufficient indication that the larger steel frame buildings are regarded as compara- lively safe from fire'

SAVANNAH SUBURBANITES
 WANT REDUCED CAR FARE

sion would do well to go about it. do not mean that they should have to go to any such heavy expense, but that they should be thoroughly prepared when they come here 10 state their case and let us know just what the trouble is. If everyone who brought case here was prepared to support it with evidence the work of the commission would be greatly facilitated, and decisions would be prompt ly rendered."
 The commission has already decided as to what Improvements should be required
 in the street railway service rendered by the Savannah Electric company, and the only question remaining is one of fares on the suburban linesa Whatever be It's decision on this subject there win be no question about the fact that it Is based upon as complete evidence as could be obtained.
 Mir. Riggs, who made the appraisement of the Savannah Electric company's prop critics, is the expert of the Michigan rail way commission, employed to do just this sort of work. He has appraised every railroad property in the state of Michigan so that the commission of that state knows just where it stands when a rail- road comes to It with a petition for stock or bond issue or an increase in rates. Likewise it has the same information at it's command when the people want rate reductions.
 The value of such information cannot be questioned. It costs money to get it. if Is true; but there is little doubt that vastly more in proportion Is saved to the people Of the state than would be the case if the commission had to wander around in the dark and deliver a Unit or mss opinion every time a case came up.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY WILL BE A SUCCESS
Chief Bennett Being Assured of Co., operation From All Parts of
 the City

Fire Chief A. V. Bennett stated yester- day afternoon that he is expecting ma- terial things to result from his "Fire Prevention Day. He is daily receiving numerous assurances of hearty co-opera- ton in the matter and all over the city has received the indorsement of those who are interested in reducing fire risks to minimum.
 Local insurance agents have volunteer ed to send a. man with him on inspection day to make suggestions and to recom- mend things according to the code of fire prevention used by them.
 7 It is expected that there will be many hundreds of wagon loads of rubbish haul ed off to the dump piles, thus removing 4 great cause of fire in the city.
 Street Commissioner Frank Gafford has promised him all the wagons he will need and all the men that will be needed to man them.
 Police Chief George H. Bodeker has promised that those who do not clean up yill be arrested and is contemplat- ing giving Chief Bennett a man to accom- pany the inspectors on their inspection trip on the fifteenth of the months to ad- minister to those who have not compiled with the proclamation.
 So, with everything on his side, Chief Bennett sees nothing which will prevent a great success of Fire Prevention Day.

Atlanta. January 9.--(Special) There has never been a more thoroughly investi- gated case before the railroad commis- sion than that involving the complaint of the Savannah City and Suburban Improve ment association against the Savannah Electric company" said Chairman c. M. Candler of that body when asked as to the prospect of decision on the question of reduced fares on suburban street rail- road lines, which is the sole remaining point of contention.
 The commission is getting ready to rem der it's decision the latter part of this week. In fact, Chairman Candler was, at the time, writing out a tentative opin- ion to be submitted for the consideration of the board. The complainants have asked that the fare on the suburban lines be reduced from 10 to cents.
 The commission sent an expert auditor to Savannah to go over the company S books and accounts, and 1t has his report now before it. Every item of property which the company owns was appraised by Henry E. Riggs, engineering expert of the Michigan railroad commission, whose fees were $50 per day and expenses.
 'I believe this case has cost at least Sl0,00O,'' said Commissioner Candler. ''rhe railroad commission itself has spent $500 to get the information it wanted in connection with il. Several of the lawyers received at least 5000 each, and l really believe my estimate is a con- servative one.
 "I am only citing these facts to illus trate how parties who bring petitions for reductions in rates before the commits

BALTIMORE CHOICE IS PLEASING HERE Means Enormous Marching Club at Convention WHOLE STATE TO AID No State Will Make More Aggres- sive Demonstration at Balti-
 more Than Will
 Birmingham
WHOLE STATE TO AID

The selection by the national demo- cratic executive committee of Baltimore as the 1872 convention city of the party was hailed with delight in Birmingham. The fact that the Maryland metropolis Is within easy striking distance of 3ir- mingham removes all vestige of doubt that any other marching club which will attend the convention will be larger and more enthusiastic than that which goes from Alabama in the interest of the pres idential boom of Congressman Oscar W. Underwood.
 The Underwood marching club intended going to the conventional mattered lit tie where the convention was ordered. But the selection of Baltimore assures a more populous club and more populous club insures a greater demonstration. Plans for the formation of the club have already been put under way, and it's formation is expected to occur within comparatively short space of time.
 The selection of the convention city and the setting of the date of the convention will he followed by the organization of the Underwood forces in this state. As has been published, l.. K. Campbell Wlll appoint .he members of the committee to have charge of the campaign in Ala hama, and this committee will appoint sub-committees for the organization or the beats and counties. The work in Alabama will be to the end that the vote cast for Underwood in the primary of April will be the largest ever cast for fcto of Ia ha and to the end that delegates to the state convention will be chosen from among the host of MT. Underwood's s en- thusastic adherents. The formation of the Underwood Marching club, which will attend the convention in Baltimore, will be another function of the state central committee.
 So encouraging have been the reports from other states in reference to the spread of the presidential boom of MT. Underwood that Alabamians are more enthusiastic than ever in their plans con- corning the presidential campaign With the sister states of Alabama fast falling into the Underwood column. and with the gradual dwindlng of the Harmon and Wilson booms, politicians in this state are convinced that the solid south will vote for Underwood in the conven- ton, and that enough additional strength will be obtained to make the nomination of the Alabamian a certainty.
 Before the conclusion of the week, an nouncement of the personnel of the com mittee is probable From his attendance on the national committee meeting, Com n.itteeman Weatherly. representing Ala bama, is expected to return tomorrow afternoon.

Opinions of Fire Fighters

In regard to the Equitable building In New York, which burned yesterday, be- ing fireproof, members of Birmin gham's fire department have hooted the idea that any building is absolutely fire proof.
 Chief Bennett said: "The Equitable building was an old structure and was full of infammable material conse- quently the news of the fire was no great surprise to me. However. I am extremely regretful that 1t has hap pened. As to it's being fireproof building, I do not believe that there are any fireproof buildings. Any of them will burn If they get enough stuff in them to cause a fire. have never run across one yet which I believed would not burn, and I have seen a. great many so-called fireproof ones."
 Captain. Sidney Middleton of Station No. l said. Tn my estimation there is not and cannot be flreproof building built. Fire is one thing which will catch hold of anything and do damage. We watch 'fireproof' buildings as close ly as any finder box in the city. How ever. there are some buildings which

ATLANTA GRAYS MEET ATHLETIC
 CLUB TEAM SATURDAY NIGH;

The Atlanta Grays, champions of the Basketball Color league in that city and one of the strongest teams in the south, will be seen here Saturday night when they will oppose the strong Athletic club basketball team. The Atlanta Grays rep resent military company attached to the Fifth Volunteer infantry. They were sub stituted in the stead of the Memphis Y. M. c. A. team, which postponed the battle for Saturday on account of the illness and business engagements of sev- eral of the members of their team.
 The Atlanta Grays have one of the nift- fest organizations in the south, if the re- ports that have been heard are correct. While it is not to be doubted that they will put up strong fight, the dope favors the Athletics to romp.
 The schedule of the Athletics during the season will take in every prominent team in the south except Mobile, who refuses to play them. Professor Miles of the Athletic club states that he would certainly like to play them and that he would be willing to play under nearly any conditions in order to get an engage ment with them. He declares that the championship of the south will probably rest between Mobile and Birmingham, and as these two will not come together, the championship will be nothing other than a complete mystery. ,e
 The Athletic team Is certainly a nifty squad. On its roster will be found the choice material of Dixie, and the lads will no doubt show the boys 8 few things hS(n | aud s,E Ina.
