the police from Cyriel Demoulin's
saloon. East Moline. He said that AL
vines height was about six feet, this
being introduced presumably to make
comparison in the size Of the two
participants in the tragedy and to ex-
plain some of the theories of the state
relative to the position of the two men
at the time of the shooting
Mr., Demoulin also testified again
relative to Alvine's gun and said that
its chambers were full when left at
his place by Chasteen on the evening
of the staying.
J. S. Outright, one of the officers
who saw the gun at the saloon also
identified it and testified that it's five
chambers were full.
Statement of Chasteen in the turn
keys office between 1870 and 9
O'Clock on the night of the slaying
was testified TO by Ed. Reed, court
reporter. He asked about shorthand
notes he had transcribed in which the
defendant claimed that he had found
Alvine's gun on the dump that he had
not seen Alvine for several DAYS: that
Alvine had not followed him into the
sand pit; that he had not met anybody
on the afternoon of the Staying as he
walked along the tracks: that he haG
not crossed into the field, that he haG
his revolver with him for the purpose
/ of shooting rats but that he had moi
fired his own revolver.

Tears Down Defense,

'Alvine had a right to enter the field
and Chasteen did not" declared the as
sistant states attorney There was
no evidence to show there had been
any struggle or even words Alvine
was shot down in cold blooded murder
just as he crawled through the wire
fence. What Chasteen says occurred
in the field could not have taken place,
according to one witness for the state.
Thomas Laughery testified that he had
seen Alvine enter the field, that shot
rang out at EOS and within 80 sec
onds Chasteen was on the track again,
so that there would have been no OPP
portunity for Chasteen to approach
Alvine, talk to him, struggle with him
grab his gun and turn and shoot in
self-defense as the detectives weapon
was felt against the ear of the de-
PENDANT. Chasteen made a detailed
statement of what he says occurred
but 1t would not have been possible in
the short time that interviewed between
! the ring of the shot and the time Chas-
teen appeared on the right Of way.
Chasteen himself fixed the time at two
minutes. The defendant must have had
! his revolver in hand, ready for action
when the detective started to climb
through the fence and without warning
have shot him down without giving
4 him a chance for his life.
There were no powder marks on
/ Alvine's body. showing that the bullet
/ had been fired from long range. Coun-
sci for Chasteen told you in the open
| ing statement that 1t would be shown
! by three witnesses for the state Alyine
had fired one shot as well as Chasteen
but the defendant on the stand admit
ted that Alvine's revolver was not dis
charged.

Following the announcement of Mr.
AcCaskrin Of the abandonment of the
attack on Alvine's sanity, the defense
rested. In rebuttal the state put on

Ing, secretarial work, editing. library
work. statistics. dietics, domestic
science, correction. Clerical workers
are not included unless they share
responsibility for social work.
The work is poorly paid for the most
part. It is only In the last few years
that social service has come over
from the realm Of casual charity, with
donated time and energy, into the
ranks of a real profession.
Social workers can be compared to
physicians. They are trying to dag
Mise and cure the ills of the body poll
tic-trying to get at the causes and
remedies for social disease. Poverty,
ignorance, bad housing, malnutrition
these are some Of the many evils
at which they are steadily at work
And like physicians, although jus.
now their numbers are rapidly increas-
ing, their aim is to destroy the cause
for their own existence.
They are working for the community
health at the expense of their own
earning-possibility, and the least the
community can do to help them is to
uphold their hands.

DOWN WHERE THE
DOGS WEAR SHOES

Savannah, Ga, Jan. 12-South Caro-
lima has been accused OF many things,
but here Is new one. The going Is
so hard lover home" that 1t has be-
come actually necessary to have the
dogs used in hunting to wear shoes.
The common yellow dog may have
his day some time, but just now it is
the fine animal with the pedigree
which is breaking into the new fas-
hion.
+. G. Cler, veteran Savannah shoe
maker has been commissioned by
David Woostencroft, manager of the
Goodhope Camp, near Ridgeland, TO
make complete set OF shoes for ten
dogs, and he has now completed the
order. The shoes cost forty dollars.
The purchaser explains that the shoes
are needed for bird dogs and others
used in deer an dfox hunting In order
to protect their feet from the misery
of the cockspur, or sandspur.
The soles of the dogs shoes are
circular and trifie larger than a sill
yer dollar. They are made of welt
leather. The tops, which are laced
around the dogs legs, are Of vici kid.
The foot is forced into the shoe top,
which resembles in general way the
log of small sock, and the iaclngs,
which are exactly the same in type as
that used in human footwear, are then
drawn tightly and tied. Mr.. Dog may
then fldget and fret, but 1t is sure
shot that he will have to step off in the
hunt wearing his boots.
Shoe clerks may as well brace them.
selves for the shock, for soon It may
be quite the thing to have some fluffy
dame drop in and ask to have set
of shoes fitted to her lap dog.

FEWER FIRES.

FEWER FIXES.
We are Tearing, after all, not to burn
things up. According to statistics
printed by the Insurance Press, our
national fire losses last year were
about S40,000.000 less than the recent
average.
We have been losing over 100000, )
900 year from fires. In 1914, accord.
ing to the authority quoted, we burin-
ed 1920, 100000 worth of buildings and
personal property. The drop form
that figure to s172,OOO.OOO last year is
impressive.
We may not be able to maintain
the pace. but the trend in fire losses
is undeniably downward. The fire.
prevention propaganda of the last few
years is having its effect.
Our people, careless about fire, are
slowly learning caution and adopting
preventive measures. Fire depart
ments steadily grow more efficient.
Factories and stores install better
safety apparatus. And there has been
immense improvement in building
The tendency is more and more to in
sist on genuine fire-proof construction
or, since nothing seems absolutely
fireproof, to insist on giving the flames
as little as possible to feed on. Con-
crete construction plays an ever more
prominent part.
While 1t is far more difficult TO
make private houses anywhere near
fireproof, greater precautions are
taken in our homes than ever before.
More attention is given to safeguard
ing chimneys. stoves, lamps, etc.
Matches are used less carelessly-or,
still better, are not used at all.
And yet, our fire losses are still
many times as great per capita as
those Of any other country in the
world.

SOCIAL WORK
AS A PROCESSION.

One ordinarily thinks Of the social
worker as sort OF unusual person
who does settlement work" or some.
thing equally vague. AS a matter OF
fact, social service ha sbecome n re.
cognized profession. There are more
than four thousand social workers in
New York City alone. When one adds
those in the other big cities of the
country, not to mention the middle.
sIzed towns, the number runs up to
an astonishing total.
The Survey for January enumer.
ates among the specific duties of the
workers the following: Supervision,
teaching, visiting and investigation,
nursing, matrons' work recreation,
problem research, publicity and pro.
motion, club leadership, public speak.
