 There was no need to go into fur ther details.

 Those who saw Isaac Perrfns van ish in the smoke and flames of the Market street house never expected to see him alive again. Only a few minutes passed until he staggered out again. his face black, this clothes srnolSin ng-but bearing in his brawny arms the limp form of the girl
 Shouts of joy at his reappearance were Qu1ck1y Followed by a SFOan as the mighty ex-pugilist, placing the girl n the ground, turned and fought his way back through the smoke.
 Eager hands carried the girl now gasping with returning consciousness. to place of safety. In the mean time Perrins was again staggering, crawling and fighting his way to a place on the second floor where he had seen the prostrate form of a woman. His Herculean strength and iron will served him in good stead, and, almost overcome by the smoke, he at length reached the woman and dragged her forth to safety Any other man would have quit, at that, but Perrins knew that still another victim was within.

GOVERNMENTS SUGGESTIONS
Such as Are Applicable in This Sec
fion are Similar TO Methods
Now Being Employed

That full value may be receiy
ed for the money appropriate
for road purposes and that tn
best results obtainable may be sc
cured it is essential that the righ
man shall be placed in charge O
road work. He should be select
ed not only becau he actually
knows more about coed roads
than any other per in the com
munity, but also ause he car
get the best results rom the mon.
ey furnished. 1t is not sufficient
however, to let the matter rest
with the appointment of road
overseer. He should receive the
whole-hearted support of the COM
munlty in the work. 1t should be
seen to that under the conditions
and with the money furnished the
community is getting what it has
right to expect in the way of
road improvement. 1t is well to
remember that if for any reason
an incompetent man is placed in
charge of the work the RESPONSE
bility for failure rests upon the
community. There should be no.
other consideration, therefore, in
selecting a road overseer than
that of securing a man with the
ability to perform the duties re-
quired 1t should be realized
that good roads have much to do
with the prosperity of commu-
nifty and that united action in the
right direction is the surest and
quickest way to secure them.
Where the road overseer has
had but little experience in road
work, or where, some new and
difficult problem is presented to
the experienced man, the Office of |
Public Roads and Rural Engi-
neering of the department, when
requested, will offer advice and
suggestions for carrying on the
work and how best to overcome
the difficulties.
To secure satisfactory road /
of any type, it is absolutely nec-
essary to remember: First, drain
age; second, drainage; and third,
drainage. The earth road, pro-
perly cared for, will answer salts
factorily for the traffic of many
rural sections that can not afford
the better types of roads; but the
earth road must be well drained
After this fact is well understood q
two other requirements may be
taken up-the location of the
road and the reduction of grades
to general average of 5 per cent. II
With the exception Of sandy
roads, which are easiest for trav-
cling when damp, all roads must |
have proper side bitches to carry i
away the surface water. In or {
der to lead this surface water to '
the ditch, the road surface must G
have crown, Or rounded roof, c
highest in the center and sloping t
toward the side bitches. A very c
easy and satisfactory way to keep d
earth, clay, and gravel roads U
by the use Of the split G
og drag, is explained in Farmers C

1 UNIVERSITY ALUMNI
 WIN FIGHT AGAINST
 LUSK'S RESOLUTION
Prove Themselves Effective In Open Battle and Devoted to Dr. Smith. GeOlOgist Department
 Is Safe

Montgomery. January 26.-(Special) ) proved two things this morning when to all practical purposes they won their fight against Senator Lusk, who would have abolished the department of geology over which for so many years pr. Eugene A. Smith has presided:
 First, that they are effective in open battle.
 Second, that they are devoted to Dr. Smith.
 As had heretofore been reported Senator Lusk introduced bill to abolish the de- partment of Dr. Smith. The alumni im- mediately got on the warpath. and as a result of their strength defeated the bill before the judiciary committee of the sen ate. of which Senator Lusk is chairman. The next move of the opposition was to reduce the annual appropriation in favor of the department of geology. The alumni got again on the warpath, and were able to prove to the satisfaction of the major ity of the members of the senate that the department of pr. Smith was not only necessary. but was a money producer, the productive power of which was always increasing.
 The fight was practically won this morn ing when Senator Lusk informed Dr. Smith that he need no longer worry
 However, In further carrying out his programme of retrenchment, Senator Lusk this morning introduced bill to abolisl, the state highway commission It is thought that this bill will also be de- feated
