COMMISSIONER PUBLIC WORKS
FLAMES ATTACK
TREASURY BUILDING

Washington, May 3.-Flames which
burst from the roof Of the treasury
department shortly after 1:3O a. m.
today, eating. their way through a
superstructive and spreading to the
central portions of the roof, were
brought under control after threaten
ing heavy damage to the building.
The flames lit up large part of
the downtown section and sparks were
waited across the street to the White
House lawns. Awakened by White
House attendants, President and Mrs.
Harding dressed and watched the
progress of the flames from window
The fire broke out at about LAS
a. m. today. Rapidly gaining headway
in a low superstructure on the roof,
the flames in a few minutes We're
leaping 20 feet in the air.
Following an explosion of chemicals
stored where the fire originated, the
flames appeared to be rapidly gaining
headway. Four alarms had been turn
ed in Is minutes after the fire was
discovered.
Several smaller explosions oc-
Cured in quick succession as the
flames rose to a height of 80 or 40
feet and appeared to be enveloping
the entire central portion of the roof
Sparks from the fire were being swept
by light southeast wind in the gen.
eral direction of the White House, but
it was believed that structure was in
no danger.
Thirty minutes after the fire began
the glow of the leaping flames was
lighting up the entire downtown Sec
tion Of the city, casting dull light
over the White House anr the Wash
ington monument.

Mad Dog Killed

On Monday evening while Mrs R.
L. Mehan was preparing her evening
meal her little baby was sitting on
blanket in the stove room and the
dog was lying on the blanket beside
the baby as was usually the case.
When all at once the dog began to
have fits and run all over the room.
Mrs. Mcclellan took her baby and ran
In another room and closed all the
doors and cried for help. In the mean
time the dog went out of window
and ran around the house bowling and
staggering and jumping back into the
house through the window and trying
to get into the room where Mrs. Nc.
Mehan was. Frank Bobo and Tcmmy
Briggs came to her aid and Mr.. Bobo
decided not to kill the dog as by this
time the dog began to show normal
condition. Then by heroic act Mas
ter Tommy Briggs caught the dog by
the neck and tied him with a rope. By
this time Mr.. McMehan and Mr..
George Royster arrived on the scene
and Mr.. Roystcr killed the dog, as 1t
was too much risk to wait to see ii
the dog was really mad.
If all could have witnessed this
scene they would surely be careful
with their dogs around children.

Of Interest to Baptist

During the first days of last week
DR.. T. NJ Bailey, the beloved. was a
very sick man, and for a while it
seemed that his time of departure had
come. But as the week drew 70 its
close he rallied remarkably; and at
the time that this note is being writ
ten we hope to have him with US for
further service and sunshine. AT
times during his serious illness he
would not know those about him and
could not understand the things told
him. But in these periods he was
teaching his Sunday school class and
quoting Scripture; and if any one mis-
quoted a passage he could correct
them instantly. Blessings on DR. Bal
ley. He is in his 92nd year and gave
his best years Of work to South Caro-

NEW BREAK in
LEVEE FEARED

l New Orleans, May 2.-Disquieting
reports from flooded areas of the
Atchafalaya river basin, especially
from st. Martin in southern Louisi
ana, were received by Red Cross of
ticials here today. A committee was
dispatched az once to investigate con
litions there.
The Atchafalaya river flood, which
already covers large areas of rich
farming land, threatening to break
through the levees at "a number of
places, especially at Neville, is being
augmented by flood waters coming
from the Ferriday, Ia, crevasse.
What will develop when this added
volume of water reaches the lower
liver basin, where unconfirmed re-
ports today placed the number of
homeless at 200, is only a matter Of
conjecture.
The food situation at the Louisiana
'efugee camps, which had become
.ritical through the practical deple-
zion of all food supplies, was relieved
today with the arrival at Rhinehart
La, of provisions sufficient to pro
vide for 5000 persons for ten days.
In addition two car loads of foods
we're today dispatched from Alex
lndria, La, to Lasalle parish, where
several hundred refugees were re-
ported in need.
Torrential rains which have been
'alling intermittently in the lower
eathes of the river for the last "a
loms have handicapped the more
chan 10000 workers on the levees
The rains have weakened number
f places, reports said, necessitating
closer inspection to prevent danger
Gus developments. The Red Cross
state food relief commission, national
gugard, American Legion and civilian
relief organizations were today con
inuing their efforts to rescue fami-
lies marooned in their flooded homes
in both Mississippi and Louisiana
n many cases those marooned pre-
ferred to stay in their romes, and did
so, despite the pleadings Of their
would-be rescuers. With the de
pletion of the scanty stores these
people have on hand, the rescue
workers will face another task in
providing them with food and cloth
