ing in splendid series Of rooms oc-
cupying a large part of the second
floor Of the company's building. a
truly delightful place for artistic

convenience. 2 .e"
Through the, cpurtesies OF Mr.
Ireland. Of the wanamaker store,
and Mr.. Aaron. of the Royal Pat
tern Company, of New York CITY.
the Parsons-souders company has
engaged the services Of Mrs. Bertha
Deneen. thoroughly competent de-
signer. This movement on the part
OF Parsons-Souders is not done in
a spirit OF competition with the
large number of dressmakers OF the
city, all OF whom are Its friends. but
on the contrary viii aid greatly in
eliminating the pressure on already
overworked business, and increase
the Parsons-Souders service in a
distinctly new field. A further OBJ.
iect OF this department will be to
disseminate accurate information as
to the newest merchandise, Its fash
ions. materials, manufacture and
actual values and supplant theories
and erroneous imaginauons with
facts and actualities as high duty
to an ever appreciating public !.
Service as adequate and scientifical-
~ expert as 1t Is possible to have,
will be the keynote; backed by a
business organization founded and
maintained upon fixed principles
that have gained for this store a
statewide reputation SO highly mers
tied. The company's slogan is,
Paris creates, Parsons-souders In
terprets, authoritative fashions for
women"
In these proposed salons OF
dressmaking a woman is assured of
finding not only the newest but the
most authoritative notes of Paris
fashions, as well as clever adapta-
lions of French ideas translated into
American garments.
An additional feature VIII be
that devoted exclusively to mourn
ing apparel. auto wear and riding

Messrs. Parsons and souders are
very enthusiastic over their new de-

success equal to many other under
takings heretofore planned and ex-
ecuted by them.

BLOW SAFE
At Adamston and Get
Haul Of Cash and
Stamps.

Some time between II and 5
o'clock Tuesday night the postofficc
at Adamston was visited by burglars
and the safe was blown, after which
500 in money and $500 in stamps
was stolen.
Indications give the belief that
professionals did it as the work was
cIeverly done and the act was bold
owing to the fact that the place is
quite public with persons constantly
passing. A square hole of about six
inches was neatly cut in the glass oil
the front door of the McFarlin store
in which Fred "a. McFarlin, the
postmaster, has the postofice To-
Gated. through which hoe burg
larious hand reached, lifted the
night latch and sprng the lock.
Nitro glycerine was used TO blow the
safe.
Carl johnson, street car man,
went TO the store at 5 O'Clock to
make a purchase and he discovered
the burglary and at once notified
the postmaster.
The Harris dogs were brought
from Fairmont to the scene of the
burglary. arriving there at gao
o'clock. They took a scent from
the handle of sledge hammer used
in cracking the safe and went a
short distance east on Pike street
and then street to tenement houses
on the hill and there stopped. A
house was serached by SheriR Percy
Byrd but nothing was found to indi-
cate that the burglars had been
there. Two or tire vacant houses
were searched without obtaining a
clue. The hunt was then abandon
ed.
Edward r. Allen. of Parkersburg,
postoffice inspector. has been noti-
fed Of the burglary.

the Extent of Third Of
Million Dollars.

CHARLESTON, May SO.-The FIRE
marshal and insurance commission
er's bulletin for the month Of April
has Just been issued by State Audi
tor Darst. 1t shows the total FIRE
loss in the state during the month
of April at $35s,54s. The total value
of the, property totally or partially

total insurance was s54l,55o. The
heaviest loss was in Raleigh county,
where forty-eight properties were
destroyd in IRE that swept part Of
the central portion of the business
section.
The report also calls attention to
the failure OF officers whose duty II
is to do so, to send to the state fire
marshal the repor. o. fire in the re-
spective towns or magisterial dis
trIcts. Especially attention is also
called to the incorporation of the
Depositors Guaranty & Safety Com
pany Of, West Virginia. In this con-
nection the bulletin says:

otticio insurance. commissioner au-
thOrized the incqrporation Of the De-
positors Guaranty Company of West

deposits in banks. Its incorporators
are all citizens of West Virginia.
The authorized capital stock is ST.
100000. divided into 100000 shares
of the par value of $500 each. The
stock to be sold at $1,000 per share,
of which $3.50 is to be allotted to
surplus and $3.50 10 expenses. The
money received from sale of stock
Is being paid to George Hook, trus-
tee, who is the cashier of the Ger
mania Half Dollar Savings Bank OF
Wheeling, W. Va, and is to be held
by him as trustee until sufficient
money comes into his hands to make
the deposit required by the laws OF
this state. after which the company
will apply for license to write in
surance. If they fail to obtain the
required amount, the money paid for
stock is to be returned to the pur-
chasers by the trustee. This com
pany through its attorney has given
this office permission to investigate
1t at any time during its formation.

fBE Mud NUISANCE on

4 edostion That Is psrplss,Io Read
Engineers

~
VITA ths coming Of summer mu-
niclpai engineers have brought again
before them the perplexing question
which has been giving many OF them
gray hairs for several seasons past:
What shall we do this season to cope
with the dust nuisance on mAcadamized
streetsl
Probably the most generally adopt.
ed plan has been the sprihkling OF the
macadam With some asphaltc oil. 1t
has been demonstrated that where
horse drawn frame does not predonii.
nate such sptinkilng is a success in
preventing dislntegratioh ana undue
wear BY building up a rnbbery traffic
mat on top OF the stone. ~
But In escaping from tie chorus OF
complaints of the dust nuisance the
engineer runs foul OF d new set OF pro-
tests from indignant citizens who tind
carriage varnish. clothing and door
coverings ruined by the black. greasy
mud which covers these roads after
every hard rain. rs.e.
The cause OF this nuisance has been
Ayaeiously explained. but the condition
has seldom been rcmedicd. 1t has now
been shown That asphaltlc oils and wa
ter will form an emulsion whenever
eolloldal matter like clay Is added.
This is what happens TO the asphalt
bound traffic mat under the soaking OF
rain and the kneadlng Of traffic. Con-
siderable loan and litter are carried
on to the road in the course OF ordl-
nary traffic. and the rain and wheels
complete the process After the rain
has ceased the emulsIou gradually dries
out. and the traffic mat eventually be

again converted 10 mud by the next
heavy storm. When the mat contains

mat grows older and so much dirt and
litter have been ground into 1t that the
Of bltumen is lowered. then
its earlier water shedding qualities are
lost and its surface IS Shiny, slippery
and nasty after every shower.
Several remedies are conceivable,
but practical objections arise to all of
them, For instance. before applying

removing the last traces Of fine dust
and litter and in throwing on gravel,

The finest dust is to be discarded.
Moreover, this filler must be Off ma.

ly cleaned approaches. The un-.
avoidable accumulatipns Of dirt and
litter must lie removed before, each
storm. More oil should perhaps be
added from time to time during the
season TO keep the bitumeh percentage
high and the water shedding qualities

This method OF building and main.

vantage OF proper highways and who
at the same time had the power to car

these good roads In France has Been
wonderful They have brought all of
the various parts Of the country nearer
together. they have made country life
less lonesome. and they have reduced
the cost OF transportation Of county
