After the trash had fallen the young
lady picked up card which proved to
be a postmasters return receipt card
for a registered package. The card
was addressed to the postmaster at
Lower Peachtree and had evidently
been on file at that office. The bit of
pasteboard had evidently been picked
up by the cyclone, blown entirely across
the county of Wilcox, part of Dallas.

CHASE SUPPORTS
NEW RACING BILL

Albany, N Y, March 26."If you fail
to do this. the number of thieves among
clerks, the number of embezzlers in banks
and the number of crooks will increase,
women and children will suffer for the
necessities of life and the money will go
into the hands of men who will throw it
away and themselves go to pieces in the
end.'' Canon William Sheaf Chase of
Brooklyn made this assertion today before
the assembly codes committee in support
ing Assemblyman knights bill to amend
the ant-race track gambling laws with a
view to preventing betting of any kind.
The appellate division of the supreme
court has decided that oral betting on
horse racing is no crime, and the knight
bill was introduced to combat that de-
cision.
Assemblyman Cuvillier, the only person
to oppose the bill, thought it would show
disrespect to the court of appeals for
the legislature to enact the measure
while the appeal from the oral betting de-
cisOn Is pending.

HUNTSVILLE WILL
WAGE WAR ON FLY
Health Officer Says Disease
Can Be Checked if Cam
paign Is Started

Huntsville, March 26.-(special)-Dr It.
E. Dryer. city health officer, has issued
card appealing to the public to begin an
early fight on the fly here this year. He
claims that there are more babies killed
by flies carrying germs than by any other
means of transporting germs. Disease
can be greatly lessened by sanitary meas
ures, writes Dr. Dryer The first fly
swatting campaign ever inaugurated here
was carried on last year, and the fly
pest was considerably lessened.
The present season of storms which
has brought more damage from winds to
this section than ever known before has
boosted the writing of cyclone insurance
as nothing else ever could. Insurance
agents are featuring tornado insurance
and are writing many risks. Huntsville
and the valley in which it is located is
protected on all sides by mountains, and
there has never been any serious damage
from the winds, but nervous people be-
ieve that this immunity cannot continue
always.
