WILLIAMS TALKS
 FIRE PRECAUTIONS
State Fire Marshal Says Loss of Schools During Year
 Amounted to $300,000

Montgomery, August 28.-(Special) called upon in a public appeal by w. J. Williams, state fire marshal, Sat urday, to see that every precaution has been taken to prevent fires before the schools open for the term during September and October.
 MT. Williams declared that the fire loss in schools in Alabama during 1920 and 1921 was $500, 900, and that many of the fires can be prevented. Those who are charged with the re- sponsibility of the care of these chill dren should be sure that everything has been done to insure their safety" said MT. Williams appeal swhjch was addressed to all school authorities and teachers of Alabama. Be sure that every fire hazard has been re- moved; that the heating plant in each building is properly installed and in correct repair; that approved fire extinguishers have been installed when and where needed; that the in stallation of electrical wiring has been thoroughly inspected and that same is in good condition and that exits and fire escapes are in proper shape"
 MT. Williams also urged that fire drills be held at regular intervals and at least twice month, and that proper fire exits are provided. He also said all doors should open out ward, that doors on school buildings should never be locked and that every door should be equipped with panic release bar latches.
 A competent janitor should be em- ployed at all times and MT. Williams requested that some school authority furnish the janitor with compre- hensive notice concerning fire haz- Q rds

quoth the truant damsel truthfully.
 For her get-at-able capital was somewhere under $50! So hurried had been her exit from her uncle's house that she had left most of her ready money in a cash box in the drawer of her desk. A foolish oversight, but one that could not now be remedied.
 Wild horses wouldn't drag me back to get itr' she reflected ".1o. l must manage on what I've already got-until I find a situation"
 She made a little face over the last word.
 situation is what I've come to. and what I'd be glad to get! I've climbed way downl I'm here in the class of the shabby genteel"--here she siggled-''looking for situation. like 8 cook"
 Then she remembered that she couldn't cook.
 q don't suppose could even housemaid properly she remarked to cheeky little sparrow that had come to perch upon a windowsill. She had written her uncle a cheer ful letter, touched with dignity. The epistle had been penned from a smart hotel, on opulent notepaper, with handsome letter heading. N'S IT NhiHh | III stdylHk neTe, anu am in funds" sAe told herself wist- fully hoping that he would reply to the smart address, and she could call and get the letter.
 But Uncle Frederick had done noth- ing of the sort. He was thoroughly annoyed with Natalie. He knew she was not short of money, and that she could take care of herself. And he had decided that it would be best to leave her to herself, until she came to her senses, and regretted her hot headedness.
 Any day, he told himself, the progi- gal would return, repentant. He would forgive her and they would be recon ciled.
 But to climb down and beg her to come back, would be the sheerest fol- ly. Miss Natalie had ruled the roost too long. She must learn that the sun, moon and stars didano revolve for her sole benefit. No one had told him that his little niece had left most of her ready money in cash box in her desk. For no one knew. The desk was locked He was unaware of the fact too that her small bank account was over drawn.
 Meantime Nataiie-seated at the window of her third floor front--was mentally reviewing her position and racking her brains for a solution to the money-problem, namely ca reer.
 q must capture the spondulicks omehow!' she remarked to her soli- tary listener, the small, perky spar row. If l don't raise the wind. it's humble pie for mel

 Her glance roved idly down the col umns Then she gave a little cry.

 XXXI-"UNSKILLED LABOR"
ANNI.- OINONILLsLD LADON Copyright, 1921 by The Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

The days that followed her depar- ture from her uncle's house were dresriness personified for Natalie Du- cane.
 For. painfully it was forced upon her consciousness that, in a world of workers, there is small demand-and still smaller remuneration-for such accomplishments as she possessed. I'm useless idiot!' she would tell herself 50 times a day, gloomily de- parting from some heartiess employ ment agency where the superintend- ent's comments had been particularly scathing. My market value is posi- lively nil, and the sooner l realize that painful fact the better"
 She smiled now sadly, wistfully at the remembrance of her last inter view with Uncle Frederick. when she could easily get job The former self-the petuiant, petted. spirited Natalie Ducane--was dying. And in it's place was pale, worried. hesi- tant young woman who. through sad experience had learned her own in
 "Unskilled laborr she was classi- fled as that.
 They wouldn't even take me on as scrub woman!' A, pathetic little tremble caught her lips. I'm just a useless butterfly with broken wingw
 She was at the window of her dreary lodgings in a side street as she made this melancholy statement sotto voce.
 And the voicing of her thought gave her a morbid sort of satisfaction. For anything that savored of the histri- onic made a strong appeal to Natalie. Herself the unfortunate heroine of the piece, she could sense a dramatic situation, and--like a spectator sit ting comfortably in the orchestra could at times watch and analyze the drama in a detached, impersonal sort of way that afforded her curious relief
 T must keep my heart up, like a soldier in the trenches,' she adjured herself. adding-heedless of mixed metaphors-'I'm in the arena now, and I must face the music"
 Certainly these lodgings-down a depressing little side street and fac ing a tall brick wall--were not spe- cially conducive to cheery atti- tude.
 But they're all I can afford"

TRIAL OF ALLEGED ! SLAYERS POSTPONED

scottsboro. August 2s.-tspecial)- The preliminary trial of the alleged accomplices in the murder of Ed Moody, set for Friday, was postponed because of the absence of the princi- pal. Joe Stone.
 It was thought best not to bring the negro here at present, as the grand jury will be in session the first week in September, and these cases will likely be taken up on the first, day of the grand jury session
 The evidence of the principal is considered very important, as he claims that he shot Mir. Moody from the rear door and if such Is the case the body must have been moved some 20 feet toward the railroad track after he was slain. The accomplices are held in jail pending the action of the grand jury.

Hostilities Continue

LOGAN, w. Va, Aug 81. . Hos
tilit1es continued today between
forces of armed men who had been
collecting ON the eastern slope of
Spruce Fork Ridge and the thousand
or more deputy sheriffs and villagers
who have been collected to aid Off
GERS of Logan county Despite Pres
ident Harding's proclamation asking
the armed men to dispense, one depu-
ty sheriff was killed, another IS In~---
ing and one armed man lost his life
when outposts clashed
Additional reports received by Sher-
if Don Chain of Logan county, an
Sheriff Bill Hatfield of Mcdowell
county, we're that three other men
had been killed at Mills Creek.
Other developments included the an
nouncement that the invaders had ad-
vanced their lines two miles today
and on the Logan sector were only
four miles from the county forces.
At Peck's Mill, headquarters of the
Mcdowell men, six miles of rough
country was said TO separate the out
posts. Through this wild section,
scouting parties from both sides pass
ed during the day, and it is assumed
that here today's casualties occurred.
Surgeons and nurses were sent to
Peck's Mill where field hospital was
established.
Volunteers continued to come to Lo
gan from all over the southern part
of the state, en- route to the front.
5000 At Jeffrey
The situation confronting the pvv-
pie of Logan county is the direct out
growth of the long controversy be-
tween organized and unorganiZed min
ers. All OF Logan county east of
Spruce Fork Ridge is unorganized,
but the little section between the east
elm slope of the mountains and the
Boone county line is filled with union
miners.
These men last week prepared to
join the march of other union men
from Marmet TO Mingo, to protest
against the enforcement of martial
law in the Mingo county coal strike
zone. The march was stopped at Mad
ison, county seat of Boone county, =.
the instance of United Mine Workers
officials, who acted on the advice -r
Brigadier General BandholtZ, U.S.A.
Twenty-four hours after the head of
the marching column had been turn
ed back from Madison, it became
known that the miners in the union
lied section of Logan county had not
abandoned their intention to move ON
Mingo. Many of the miners who had
, abandoned the march are said to have
retraced their steps and started for
Jeffrey, where union miners of Lo-
gan were gathered. Tonight it was
estimated that fully 5000, if not more,
men were in that region.
