were brought out In the discussion at

Engineer w. H. Armstrong, who
will have control, and direction Of this
repaying In Fairmont city as well as
in the districts outside OF the city, all,
OF course, under the direction OF the
county COURT, was present at the
Chamber, of Commerce meeting TO an.
swer questions pertaining to the work.
The Fairmont City Board OF Con.
troll was also represented ut the Cham.
Der OF Commerce meeting, While the
city authorities have nothing what
ever to do with the handling Of the
county funds out OF (which the paving
work will be paid, yet the members
OF the Board OF Control are deeply In
terested in having the work done In
the best way possible, as properly
paved streets are essential to the pro,
per development Of a city.
Another reason why the city Board
Of Control wishes to work in harmony
with the county authorities Grows out
of the fact that certain sewer and
water pipe connections must be made
at the expense of the city, and tharIt
will be cheaper TO make such altera-
tions while the streets are torn up for
paving.
According to statements coming
directly from the office OF Engineer
Armstrong, there will be little II any
change of street grades as q result Of
the repaving by the county, In Fair
mont, and therefore little u any low
ertng OF sewers and water mains will
be required at the hands Of the city
Board of Control. The project to con-
struct new storm sewers In Fairmont
avenue and Main street while the
streets are torn up for paving Is being
discussed. This Improvement, accord
Ing to estimates furnished by the
county engineers office, will cost APP
proximately $1,000:

DRILLING | r ! R WAR BRINGS
 HEALTH

LONDON, July 17.-Many Londor shop windows are displaying a new cartoon-poster drawn for the recruit ing office of one of the Home Defense regiments. It shows a typical British father before the war, resigned tc middle age, bent and loose -limbed and the same father today, upright full-chested. and martial in deport ment.
 The cartoon illustrates one of the great topics of the day among the thousands of business men who have taken up military training in the home defense regiments. They are all men over 40, who undergo daily course of training extending over an hour or two, and who are in many cases mar yelling at the transformation thereby wrought in their figures.
 Men who fought nature with mas. sage, baths, diets and drugs in vain, now find that war drill has conquered the advancing waist line.

bR|T|SHERS ARE PREPARING FUR
 zEPPEL|NS

LONDON, July 17.-"Zeppelin drill' has now taken it's place alongside the familiar fire drill in some London fac tories and business places. In few cases respirators have been provided by employers and weekly or fort nightly respirator parades accom- pany the Zeppelin drill.
 For households, advertisers are fur nishing neat placards with "Direc' tions" for conduct in case of air raid One such card bears the following brief instructions:
 Don't go into the street.
 "Close all windows and doors on lower floors.
 Keep buckets of water and sand upstairs.
 :Have respirators handy in bed rooms"
 A housewife writes to a newspaper to describe the steps she has taken to protect her huosehold Every night the bathtub upstairs is left half full of water. On every landing have buckets of water and sand. In every bedroom there is a bowl of water ready for moistening the respirators, and all my family have been advised to keep their respirators under the pill low so as to be within easy reach"
 A school mistress writes advising parents to accustom their small chil. dren to the use of the respirator: "I would startle a child considerably, ' she notes, "to be awakened in the middle of the night and have a res pirator clapped over It's mouth"
 There is no unanimIty of opinion even among the police authorities as to the proper mode of procedure for house holders In case of Zeppelin at tack. In most places the police have advised people to go into their eel. lars, but the chief of police at Windsor Is sure this is inadvisable. His code of directions, which reads with a mat. ter of fact common sense almost Yankee in its directness. Is as follows
 Do not congregate in one room or in the basement, as has been freely recommended. Some of the bombs re, gently used crashed through roof and floors to basement and then exploded Again if gas bombs are used, the eel lar with doors and windows closed Is not haven of safety.
 ''In few words: In the event Of an air raid, put your trust in Providence; have something efficacious on the premises for coping with a fire in its earlier stages; clench your teeth and do your best"

Grover Alexander of the Philadel phia Nationals, twirling staff prom. ises to complete a record this season | equalling In interest Honus Wagner g hundred home runs. If he maintains his present strike-out speed Alexander should round out one thousand whiffs of opposing batsmen before the cur. tain falls on October '.
 At the beginning of the 1915 cam. paign his record showed that close to 7so batters had been turned back to the bench during Alexander's league career, as a result of failing to con- meet with Growers curves. When the season opened he needed about 214 strikeouts to complete his 1000 and July saw him we'll past the hundred mark, it appears reasonably certain that Alexander will fan his thousandth opponent within the next thirteen weeks.
 Advices received from Austria. Hungary by members of the American Olympic Committee indicate that athletics and sport generally is at a standstili in those countries.
