groove for support. compare the
thickness OF the feet before you get
the groove to exact size. This is sug-
gested for the reason that in prepar-

the same kind and thickness OF stock
so 1t will be well to get out the piece
that will be large enough for the
three parts. Lay out the small
squares on the entire piece, being
careful to make your measurements
accurately. The next step is to trace
the pattern through these squares,
making your lines pass through the
squares on the wood In the same rel
ative position as they appear on the
drawing of the parts. Do not do this
hastily-use great care so the outline
of your pattern will be a good repre-

Edgar N. higgins Apartment
House and G. T. Maddix's
House Burned.

Crisfeld, Md, Doc. 6.-Fire agnin
visited Crisfeld yesterday and destroyed
a two-story frame apartment house,
nearing completition owned by Edgar
N. Riggin, and the brick residence OF
Charles T. Maddix, causing loss of about
$4,000.
The fire started in the apartment house
from an unknown origin and spread
rapidly despite heavy rain. The apart
ment house was unoccupied, although
about completed. Water mains do not
run on the street where these houses are
located and hose had to be connected to
plug about 600 feet away. Delay IN
doing this caused the fire to get beyond
control, resulting in the destruction OF
Mr.. Maddix's house. The home of Mr..
Riggin nearby was also slightly dam
aged.
Crisfeld has had several disastrous
fires within the past lS months despite
measures taken TO improve the tre-hght
ing equipment.
