DR.. w. s. Leathers, executive OIL
heer of the state department of
health, whoris in Laurel, where he
will address the South Miss. Medical
Society on the subject Of the activi-
ties of the state board of health,
stated that the number of children's s
lives lost in school fires over the
country recently has caused the
state departments to increase its
efforts to have the board of health
regulations with regard to fires
more thoroughly enforced.
The bulletin containing the regu-
lations has already been sent to
every teacher in high schools of the
state and it is the purpose of the
department to briffg the matter to
the attention of the public in every
possible way.
The regulation of the board is as
follows:-
Proper Fire Escape" The doors
of all school houses of, two or more
stories in Mississippi shall open
outward and be provided with ade-
duate fire escapes, or more than
one staircase shall be provided in
all schools over one story in height.
Fire drills must be held in schools
of more than one story in height
once every two weeks until the chill
dren are properly drilled and once
each month thereafter during the
school session.

]. A. CARROLL LUMBER
co. HAS $4,000 FIRE
Dry Kiln With $4,000 Feet Of
Lumber Burned-Water
Supply Bad.


A dry kiln with about so, 900 feet
Of lumber, was completely destroyed
IN the yards of the j. A. Carroll
Lumber Company at about $50 last
evening, by fire thought to have
started from defective, or over-heat-
ed steam pipe in the kiln. Trestles,
tracks and runways for getting the
lumber from the mill to the various
yards were also damaged to con-
siderable extent, being, in some plac,
es entirely burned away, and partly
burned in others.
The property loss is estimated this
morning at about $8.000.O0 but a
closer check-up on the amount of
lumber and equipment burned may
send the total beyond that figure,
The loss is partially covered by $2,-
500 insurance ON the kiln.
An inadequate water supply is
said to have handicapped the fire.
men in fighting the fire, as the en-
gine crew reached the scene before
the blaze had made much headway,
and could, with proper water pres
sure, have stopped 1t before great
deal Of damage had been done.
THE greater loss is not the kiln,
nor the lumber, but the lack of
place to care for the lnmbel as cut
from the logs now in the yards"
stated Mr.. w. P. Bonds, owner of
the plant, this morning.

Auto Thieves Again
Make Appearance Here

Picking out as their intended vic
tins two owners of extra good au-
tomobiles, auto thieves endeav-
ored Thursday night to again make
a steal of the horseless vehicles.
James Perkins garage and that of
Hyman zwirn were both visited, but
the noise of the depredators and the
prompt response of the police when
the owners discovered what was go
ing on frustrated their moving the
machines.
In the case of Perkins he was all
ready for such an attempt, having
recently constructed concealed a.
larm, which when anyone entered
his garage, rang bell in his bed
room but made no noise in the gar
age. When this happened he hur-
riedly phoned the police, but when
he went out it was evident by the
absence of the would-be thief or
thieves that the noise made had been
heard and they had departed.

Natchez, Miss, Dec. Is. Miss
Ethel Alexander is dead and w. ].
Hughes. county surveyor. is serious
ly but not dangerously injured as
a result of an automobile accident
which occurred Thursday night when
the machine which they occupied
went over an embankment at the ap-
proach to a bridge two miles out of
Natchez, near Roselawn, the country
home of w. ]. Kaiser.
The dead girl and injured man
were found by a negro who, while
passing over the bridge on his way
to work heard the groans of Mr..
Hughes and his calls for assistance.
The automobile had turned COM
pletely over. Mr.. Hughes was
thrown almost clear. Miss Alexan-
der was crushed by the weight OF
the machine and her death is be-
lieved to have been instantaneous.
Her skull was crushed to a pulp.
The bayou spanned by the bridge at
this point where the accident occur
red is 10 feet deep.
1t was stated by Mr.. Hughes that
Miss Alexander was driving the car
and that the accident occurred about
s o'clock last night. He said that
he had been unconscious until a
short time before he was found
The escape Of Mr.. Hughes. which
is considered almost a miracle. is
probably due to the fact that the
force Of his fall was broken by the
soft mud and water in the bottom of
the bayou.
Miss Alexander was socially prom
inent, being member of one of the
best known families of Natchez. Her
funeral, which was held this after
noon at Trinity Episcopal Church,
was attended by large numbers Of
people.

Fire Blight ia Pears.

I planted two pear trees last
spring and they are about dead, the
leaves being all black. My old pear
trees are affected in the same way.
Please tell me the cause and rem
edy.
The pears have evidently been
struck by fire blight. This is caus-
ed by bacteria or rather bacilli which
usually get In on the feet Of bees
in the blossoms and grow down
ward. There is no remedy. The on
ly thing to do is to cut out the
|blighted wood into sound wood and
stop Its going farther. If the branch
es are watched early in the summer,
YOU can detect the start of the blight
before It proceeds far or the leaves
blacken.. Cut out ahead of 1t then,
and you will save most Of what will
be lost later. Trees in rapid growth
are more easily attacked as It always
starts af the tender tip Of the shoots.
There may be sound wood on the
young trees 70 cut TO. The Pro-
