IMMIGRATION OFFICER,
SHOT SEEKING WOMAN,
SAVED BY HIS WATCH

Rudolph NJ. HOFFMAN. a special
agent OF the Austrian Society. left

to-day to resume his search for a
young Austrian girl who disappeared
from tho home OF the society more
than a month ago and at the same
time to run down tho two men who
shot him early to-day as he sought
the missing girl In Astoria.
That Hoffman was not killed Is due
to the fact that one of the three bull
let's imbedded itself in his watch. The
second shot passed through his left
trouser leg.

hardly had time to get good descrip-

a girl for whom I had been looking
had been seen In Astoria, in q house

Sections Of the year book are de-
voted to work in different States and
the progress of road Improvement.
Engineers actually engaged in build
ing roads as well as public spirited
citizens who are working for better
roads in the various communities have
been waiting for the issuance of this
volume by the American Highway as
ISOLATION and will find many features
in it which do not appear in last
years edition. One of the interesting
features, for instance. is the descrip-
ton of dust preventives, while one
chapter is devoted to convict labor
and another to the financial phase
of road Improvement.
A summary of the road laws in the
various States Is of particular inter-
est to motorists, while descriptions
of specifications of highways in the
various States will be of interest TO
engineers. There Is also chapter de-
voted to important events In the road
movement In 1913, and another Sec
ton to road systems in foreign coun-
tries.
The year hook Is issued annually
by the American Highway association
as part of its campaign to give tho
United States an adequate system of
improved highways.

Southern-Made Shoes

Announcement last week OF the ac-
QUESTION by the Craddock-Terry COM
pany, Of Lynchburg, Va. which has
made such II notable record in shoe
manufacturing. OF The manufacturing
and wholesale shoe business Of Bur
row, Jones & Dyer Shoe company and
the Kout-Reith Shoe company, of St.
Louis, IS signal illustration Of the
growth OF manufacturing industry in
the South. This consolidation is ex-
pected to result in most desirable re-
cjprocal advantages between the fac
tories in Lynchbnrg and those in st
Louis and Louisiana, Mo, with the
result of strengthening the common
manufacturing and distributing posi-
lions already held. The Craddock
Terry company proposes TO continue
to give, as heretofore. most Of its
attention through. It's LynchburG

determinations have been made, so

signs for drainage construction have
had no other basis than general rec

and the result has been that drainage
systems have been designed and
partly constructed with insufficient
capacity to accomplish the desired re-

the land would be speedily drained.
