HOW TO CUT EXPENSES

Many firms and individuals in Arkansas are preventing waste in the matter of fire insurance by ascer- taining from fire prevention engin- eers how to take precautions, many of them simple, when building or re- modelling dwellings, stores, ware houses, factories and other struct- ures. Expert advice conforming to Arkansas regulations is free to any resident of the state who applies to the Arkansas Actuarial bureau at Little Rock and many people are taking advantage of this free service, says the Southern Construction News, while more would if they realized what it means to them. It is easier to prevent fire than to put it out. The man with a fire-resistive building pays less insurance premium than the man whose structure is a stand ing invitation to the fire fiend to wis it him.

Earth Shaken BY Pounding OF Big
Guns Where Yankees Face
Enemy In Picardy.
FOE RESUMES ACTIVITY
Doors OF He'll Seem Opened as Great
Screening Demons Of Death Fill
Air-Americans Continue to Re-
pulse German Raids.

With the Americans in Picardy, May
14--Screeching demons Of death are
filling the air in Picardy. The doors
Of hell seem literally to have been
opened.
Pounding guns Jared the earth as
If all the evil forces below were en-
deavoring to break through. The flare
of the guns and the flash and roar of
bursting shells appeared like great
fires sweeping the rolling fields.
With the setting of the sun there
was no rest. Then wagons, loaded
with ammunition and supplies, started
for the front. Patrols crept across
No Mans land. The artillery turned
night into a time of terror and punish
mentl
Like Many Blast Furnaces.
Imagine huge blast furnace doors
thrown open at frequent intervals.
That is how the Pickering glare Of the
cannonade illuminated the sky tonight,
as the larger guns let 90.
Amid gigantic explosions houses
rocked as though shaken by great
hand, doors flew open, windows rat
tied violently. furniture quivered. AS
the American heavies fired, the de-
parting shells could be heard on their
way to the German lines. Each shell
sounded like an express train leaving
the railway station. Such death deal
ing trains halt at German stations
only.
American Guns Hammer Foe.
Two additional buildings were de-
molished by American fire at Con-
tigny. American batteries kept the
enemy under heavy bombardment.
Such artillery activity as this starts
every night at dusk and continues I'M
til after midnight. Then there is .
respite until 2 or a. M, when the
cannonade is resumed and lasts until
dawn. III
German. shells arch through the air
with a swish and whine, but the
American hre is far heavier. The
Americans are continuing to repulse
attempted German raids.
