A NARROW ESCAPE.

Alison stood nursing the red,
burning welt on her arm. The
burnt and blackened toast lay on
the immaculate kitchen floor.
She wanted TO cry, partly because
her arm hurt and partly because
the process of breakfast getting
was going so badly. But she reso-
lutely picked up the burnt toast,
threw it into the refuse pail and
stoically went about cutting fresh
slices.
She turned out part of the gas
over the oven slide and let it cool
bit before putting in fresh bread.
Her arm burned frightfully.
Larry" she called into the bed
room. Il wish you'd get up and help
me prepare breakfast. You ought
to know all about cooking with all
the camping you've done"
But only a snore answered her,
so she made a little grimace and
set about her task again.
This time the oven was not warm
enough and the bread dried with
out browning. While she waited
impatiently for a first sign Of gold
en- brown to appear on the Jagged
edges, she was suddenly aware OF a

Mystifed, she returned TO the
kitchen to be greeted with a cloud
of steam. The water for the eggs
had boiled away and hole was be-
ing burned through one Of her
most extensive SauCepanS.
She caught it off the stove, buAn-
ing her hand in the rescue.

I'm on fire. Wake up, Help me-
Larry tUmbled out of bed, only
half awake, but The one glance at
her brought him quickly to his
senses.
Seizing her quickly, he wrapped
a blanket round her. crushing it
down the length of her gown, while
on his knees, with his bare hands
he beat out the tiny flame thaI
smoldered in the rufhe of her skirt.
Suddenly the whole weight of her
toppTed upon him.
Alison had tainted.
He lifted her and laid her on the
bed, and rushed for water and
mopped her face and hands.
She stirred again and started up
wildly, but sank back reassUred at

There, darling. there" he said
tenderly. You're all right now. It

The development on the Eyrich property has been under way for some time un- der the direction of Jack White, for merly of Bisbee. The shaft on the property is down 36O feet and drifts have been extended north and south, both in ore. A three foot vein was opened up showing gold values aver aging $25 per ton.

CAAUTAUQUA WILL HAVE SEVERAL GOOD
 MUSICAL NUMBERS

The opening announcement of the Ellison White Chautauqua program for this year seems to assure music lecture and entertainment "fans" a week of thorough enjoyment. The dates have been definitely announced as April 2sth to May 2nd.
 A musical event of outstanding in terest is scheduled in the coming of Josephine Martino, noted New York prima donna, on the last night. Miss Martino is one of the most promising singers of the younger generation. She is one of the new Edison artists and her work has attracted the atten- tion and won the approval of Enrico Caruso and he has coached her in the operatic selections she will use on this Chautauaua tour. In company with Miss Martino on the last night ap- pears the Gregg Concert Com pany, a splendid musical organlza- tion, with the talented Fay Epperson as an entertainer.
 Other musical features of note are: The MacGregor Singers, headed by Vawter MacGregor, Scotch baritone and entertainer; The Fenwick Newell Concert Company under the leader ship of Fenwick Newell, tenor, who has won honors in both Europe and the Antipodes with his splendid voice; and The Regniers, two musical enter tainers of rare ability.
 The third day brings the Overseas Orchestra, eight charming, talented and vivacious young ladies who have been enthusiastically received by the boys of the A. E. F. in France and by Eastern Chautauqua audiences.
 A lecture event of decided interest and novelty is to be presented on the fourth night when Dr. c. s. Price brings his illustrated story on Hunt ing Big Game in Alaska. It is lec- ture of thrilling interest, illustrated with remarkable series of big game pictures, including views of whale harpooning and of the great seal herds of the Arctic Seas.
 Other lecture events of value and prominence are scheduled in the ap- pearance of the following well-known people: M. Pirie Heyea, first volun- teer American Red Cross nurse, lec- turer on community health; Joel w. Eastman, with constructive lecture built for these certain days, "The Unfolding of Democracy; and Marion Ballou Fisk, noted cartoonist-lectqrer, who comes the first night with high ly interesting lecture entertainment.
 The dramatic reading of Green Stockings, the delightful comedy by A. E. w. Mason, will be delight flor all entertainment lovers. Ruby Page Ferguson, head of the Department of Oratory at the Womens' College of Alabama, portrays every character of the play with consummate artistry.

ABOUT l2>PER CENT OF US.
 ROADS ARE UNSURFACED

Despite the fact that the United States has 7,000,OOO motor driven vehicles in operation-leading the world in this respectrmotorists will be surprised to learn that but 12 per cent of roads in this country are sur faced. Out of an estimated total of 2,47S,552 miles of public rural roads, only about 299,135 are surfaced or improved.
 Indiana shows the greatest percent. age of improved highway, 42.5 pei cent of its roads being surfaced, bas- ed on the last available figures of 1918.
 That there is great need for good roads can be deduced from the in creased tendency for long distance hauling by motor truck and partic- ularly by the fact that 60,000 em- ployees of the United States Post office Department travel 1,400,000 miles daily in delivering mail on fural routes.
 With an estimated 1920 production of 1,500,000 automobiles, the need for better highways is evident. That this fact is recognized by states and mum icipalities is shown by estimated ap- propriations of $600,000,000 to be spent on hard-surfaced roads during the year.
 In 1918 approximately 11,944 miles of roads were improved in this coun- tryand the enormous sum of $34, ,974,- 900 was spent on maintenance. More than $20,O0O,000 have been spent on the 1920 miles of Lincoln Highway between the Hudson river and San Francisco in the last six years.
 To stimulate the interest of both public and states in the value of bet ter roads, The Goodyear Tire & Rub Der Company has created a new de-

PERMANENT INJUNCTION
 GRANTED STAGE LINE

Judge Ingraham of the Superior
 Court yesterday issued a permanent
 injunction against w. F. Timmons, county attorney, and Sheriff Green leaf, forbidding them to interfere with the Star Stage Line. Some time ago temporary injunction was issued by Judge Ingraham and yesterday it was
 made permanent. All motions made by Assistant Attorney General Candy
 were overruled and the Corporation
 Commission was not allowed to inter vene in the case.
 Some time ago the Star Stage Line went into the Superior Court and ask ed for an injunction against the coun- ty attorney and the sheriff when it found out that the Star Stage Line could not get a permit to operate a stage line between Yuma and Somer- ton. During the last regular session of the legislature law was passed creating a monopoly between different towns and over certain roads for stage companies. The law was pass ed with the idea that it was easier to control one company than many com panies, and that it would be a benefit to the public.
 After the passing of the bill when it was decided that only one company could operate between Yuma and Somerton, the D. A. s. Stage company and the Oil Star Stage Line got to- gether and united in one company un- der the name of the District Auto Service. After the uniting of the old Star stage line with the District Auto Service, some independent drivers, it is stated, got together and formed a new stage line which was called the Star Stage Line. A permit was grant ed to the District Auto Service to run between Yuma and Somerton and no permit was granted to the Star Stage Line. The Star Stage Line at once began action in the Superior Court and obtained temporary injunction prohibiting the county attorney and the sheriff from interfering with the Star Stage Line. For the time at least the Star Stage Line will be al lowed to operate stage line between Yuma and Somerton Without outside 
 At the present time the District Auto Service is running upon a regu- lar schedule between Yuma and Som erton. The Star Stage Line, it is said. runs upon no schedule. The schedule on which the District Auto Service runs was approved by the Corporation Commission and now as long as the schedule remains in effect the cars must be sent out from Yuma and Som erton on the scheduled time. The Dis trict Auto Service men are accusing the Star Stage Line men with picking the cream of the traffic, as they say a Star Stage Line car goes out just before a car from the District Auto Service and gets all of the passengers.
 The Star Stage Line states that 1t cannot be put out of business and stands ready to take the case to the Supreme Court if necessary. How ever, the Star Stage Line won the fight so far and now it is up to the Corporation Commission to make the next move, as the Star Stage Line has said that the Corporation Commission cannot take away their property with out due process of law.
