never did come up.
All survivors had planned to return
and drain the lake, yet none had ever

Der line, freless, for two days he strug-
gled blindly to find lower levels. On
the second day he came out upon the
rim of an enormous palisade. So thick

the base Of the wall, nor dared he at
tempt the descent. He rolled himself
in his robes and huddled the dogs about
him in the depths of a snowdrift, but
did not permit himself to sleep.

natural strain upon the cords and liga-
mcnts is not accompanied by those severe

tude of mothers.
Many people believe that those remedies
which have stood the test of time, that

our grandmother's earlier years and is

(Continued from Page One,

 Exemption Sections Stricken
 Regarding exemptions, the committee senate amendment striking out all sec tions relating to exemptions of water power companies, cotton factories and other large industries, though recom- mending concurrence in the section ex- empting shipbuilding plants from taxa tion. As Is known, these industries are now exempt from taxation under the present law.
 Most of the other amendments were inn material. practically all of them being either technical in nature, or supplying words and phrases so as to make sections more complete.
 The amended sections were all explained by Representative Weakley of Jefferson, and following the reading of the report that document was adopted without de- bate.
 The only fight on the report came when Representative Shapiro of Jefferson moved that 800 copies of the report be printed in order that the members he given time to famiiiarize themselves with it's provisions.
 John spoke in opposition to the motion, each declaring that further delay might defeat the revenue bill nasmuch as 1t would take probably two days in order to secure printed copies.
 The motion of MT. Shapiro was defeat ed, and the report was then explained in detail and adopted.

DRAST|CFEATURES IF NEW BILL ARE REVOLUT T|ONARY Contribut0ry Negligence No Bar to Recovery-Jury to Decide All Con-
 trOversy
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery. September 7.-(SpeciaD The employers liability bill. defeated in the senate last week, is reborn in the form of a contributory negligence bill. Through the latter. the drastic features repudiated by the senate are again. pre- scented. The bill provides that contrib utory negligence shall not bar a recov- cry, and that all questions of negligence shall be for the jury to determine. The point is made that the passage of the bill would revolutionize present condi- tions under which the presiding judge has tho power to charge juries.
 The two sections of the bill follow:
 Section l. Be it enacted by the legisa- ture of Alabama: That in all actions brought for the recovery of damages for the wrongful act. omission or negli- gence of any person. or persons, or cor poration his or their servants, agents or employees. not amounting to the wilful or wanton negligence or conduct, whereby any person is injured or killed, or his property damaged or destroyed, the fact that such person may have been guilty of contributory negligence shall not bar recovery. but the damages shall be di unfinished by the jury in proportion to the amount of negligence contributable to such person who is injured, or killed. or his property damaged. injured de- stroyed Provided, however, that no such person who may be injured or killed, or whose property may be injured, dam aged or destroyed, shall be held to have been guilty of contributory negligence in any case where the said wrongful act, omission or negligence, is based upon the
