from c street north to the street paw

A veritable little tented city is the
road camp located a mile north of
Nineland, of which Dan W. Danielson
is in charge with at this time seven
teen men at work with wagons, teams.
trucks, etc, grading up roads of the
vicinity. Several new tents have been
ordered for the camp: those in use
have been on the job for more than
four years and the recent heavy gales
have torn the tops so that new tents
are absolutely necessary. The army
tents and the large stable tents are in
prime condition.

At the same instant, he noticed tan
negro spring from a croucned posiuoh
behind the butcher counter, and saw
tat his cash register drawer stooo
open and empty.
What are you doing here?' De
sioto shouted
The negro started to dodge past hini,
but Desioto blocked the way, and
caught hold of the negro, calling for
help. The man picked up heavy
butcher knife from the meat block
and used it to such effect that Dc
siotos cheek was laid open by a deep
cash about three lncnes long. He also
| suffered a bad cut across the palm oil
| his hand. The negro escaped.
| pesioto was unable to give any
definite description OF the man, save
that he was tall, thin. light colored,
and wore a cap ana rough clothes. He
| told police that he knew the man on

ugation on his.sanity, insisted upon

difficulty.
Finally. one prisoner had a brilliant
idea He told the man that he was the

mans body. told him that he was too
nervous to go to the operating room,
and advised him to lie still and rest.

cia1, "has its Representative in Mont gomery in the person of William M. Deacon, who has opened temporary headquarters at the Gay Teague ho- tel. Dr. Deacon will organize Ala bama, selecting committee which will name it's chairman and other of ficers and will have charge of the campaign against Sunday blue laws. Even should the measure be passed by the legislature at it's present session, the fight will not be over, or will the effort of the league be lessened one particle, for the prin- ciple involved is just as strong in defeat as in victory and at the next session of the legislature repeal will be sought.
 'It is amusing to those who have given any thought to this question to hear the assertion made that no body wants a blue Sunday and that charge to thIs effect is insidious propa ganda on the part of the oppo- sition. Rev. Harry l.. Rowlby. sec retary of the Lords Day alliance, who, with Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts of the International Reform bureau and Noah Cooper of the Southern Sabbath alliance, form the big g leaders of the reformers. gave out an interview published in the Philadelphia Pub lie Ledger in which he said, We shall oppose golf, tennis. baseball, football, and other sports, even if purely amateur and void of finan- cial cost to those watching or talk ing part, because they set bad eX- amples for children who might oth- erwise be content to go to Sunday school. Nobody wants q blue~Sun day
 In "A cities of the country in July and August from records kept in out headquarters 1t is found that either old Sunday ordinances were revived and enforced or new ones passed. In the Senate of the United States is pending Senate bill 194S, known as the Myers bill, which comes up for hearing in January. and while it Is purely local. applying only to the District of Columbia, and is much moro liberal than the proposed Ala bama law. it Is recognized as simply a proposition to test the sentiment in the Senate and in Congress pre- paratory to urging a national Sun day law"
 Knox Against Blue Laws
 In connection with the Myers bill, the Blue Law league official pointed out that the last recorded act of the late Philander c. Knox, whose sudden death shocked Wash ington Thursday was the presenta- ton of 24 memorials signed by 5000 citizens of Philadelphia and sundry citizens of counties and communi- ties in Pennsylvania remonstrating against the enactment of legislation providing for compulsory Sunday ob- servance in the District of Columbia. This last recorded act of Senator Knox appears on page 7oo1 of the Congressional Record of October 12.''
