hurried to the scene, which was
reached before 9 o'clock. Within an
hour their negatives had been re-

their way to Bound Book. to be
printed. They we're placed on the
drying drums a. o'clock, and two
hours later were on their way back
to the Jersey City studio.
A squad IF messengers was wait

made by telephone. The films were
hurried out, and In at least one case

One man was found beneath the

A score of men laid hold Of the
front of the car and lifted it and

crushed body of the woman, the only

At one side of the excavation a num-

a push cart rolled from the sidewalk

Snoring Extra Heavy.

"Our snoring has been criticised Just
the other way" said Mr.. Little. Every
one has found fault with US for using
too heavy beams and too heavy shor-
ing entirely. Not only was the structure
always bolted, but we used horizontal,
transverse and longitudinal supports
throughout. One of those supports,
measuring IL by inches, can carry
seventy tons weight. In this instance
none of those beams supported more
than five or six tons. When you con-
slider the fact that we used what IS
known as self-contained snoring
