CLEARING THE WAY.

Congressman Borland is taking step toward
betterment of conditions related to the alley slums,
by introducing bill to make it easier to condemn
the slums and convert them into minor streets The
present law provides that in such condemnations the
benefits must be balanced off against the damages.
If benefits do not equal the damages there is no pro-
vision for making up the deficit and the proceeding
is stalled. Mr. Borland would change this so that #
damages exceed benefits they may be made up from
funds raised by general taxation. .t%
Z This is detail that needs attention. But, after
all, if serious campaign is to be made for the re-
oval of these slums it should be made on the basis
Of broad general plan. There is need at the out
set to have survey of the entire situation, which
should be made with the purpose of formulating a
single sweeping scheme of reforms. This scheme
might be divided into series of projects; but the
whole general plan should be in mind and accepted
before some particular part of it is taken up for
intensive development.
Such a survey would need to be made by COM
mission of experts capable of considering the fiscal,
legal and social features. Only in this way is it pos
sibe to avoid the danger of endless experimenting,
backing and filling, that would be expensive and in
the end might oomplicate and embarrass the whole
operation

it took on the nature of fishing

heroically rescued.

in fact that the GOODNESS of the water
in the bayou tempted the pastor with
part of his flock to go wading.

Ten adults got hold OF a rope, with
the pastor and his wife leading. Then
came l.. o. Shaffer, banker, and his
wife: Mr.. and Mrs. j w. Porter. hard

Instead Of going into the water one
after another they entered broadside
and all hit the stepoff at practically

wading party was submerged.
Men and women struggled in the
water, but all held tight to the rope

additional help Of the children in 4
few minutes had succeeded in dragging
the waders to shore.
Three of the party had to be worked
upon for several hours before they had
recovered consciousness. All were drip
ping wet and considerably out of pic
mic humor when they returned home
late in the evening at Altoona.
After the rescue the entire party
held prayer meeting.
