D EPUBLICAN members Of the house
IN ways and means committee hav-
ing rejected the sales tax plan for fl
nancing the soldiers bonus, the com
mittee went on trying to devise other
schemes, with the alternative of adopt
ing a bill that contains no financing
feature. A subcommittee suggested n
plan which would not involve a heavy
drain on the treasury during the next
two years. This contemplates the elm
lnation Of a cash bonus. Adjusted
service certificates would be Issued
equal to the sum of the adjusted serv-
ice pay Of the veteran Isl a day for
domestic service and SIPS a day for
foreign service, less the 500 bonus paid
at the time of discharge), increased by
40 per cent. plus interest thereon for
twenty years at the rate of Az per
cent a year, compounded annually. The
total face value thus would be ap-
proximately 3.8S times the amount OF
cash that a veteran would have re
ceived under the cash feature.
Immediately after the certificate
was received the service man could
obtain from a bank an amount equal
to 80 per cen of the total Of the ad-
justed service pay. If at the explra-
tion of three years the sum thus OBJ
tained. plus interest. had not been
paid by the service man. the bank
could make demand on the federal
treasury for the amount due. The gov
eminent thus would take over and
carry the loan.
Some members feared the borrow
ings under this plan might affect the
financial situation harmfully, so treas
ury experts were called in to advise
the committee on that and other
points. If the scheme is feasible and
through the government would
have to pay any cash for two or
three years except for administrative
purposes.

NOVEL ROAD BUILDING PLAN
Stretch of Quarter of Mile Long Built to Endure Is to Be De-
 stroyed Rapidly.

A road about quarter of mile long, built as enduringly as possible. to be destroyed as quickly as possible, Is the odd but practical basis of an experiment now being conducted at Pittsburg, Cal, says the Christian Science Monitor. The road is laid down in the shape of a race track and is constructed of 13 sections, each one of a different type of concrete pave ment. The problem Is to find out which will last longest. A procession of some 40 motor trucks, loaned by the United States government, travels con- tinuously over its surface. There are tunnels underneath and ditches along the sides from which observations of the effect of traffic on the different sections are being made. Sections that wear out first are to be restored and kept in repair until the stoutest sec ton, whichever 1t may prove to be, has been destroyed. The cost of building and wearing out the road, which Is be- ing defrayed in part by contributions of men, machinery and material by the road building interests, probably will run into hundreds of thousands of dol lars. It is hoped, however, that the practical information thus obtained will more than offset its cost.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest foI its remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why go many applicants for insurance are re iected is because kidney trouble is SC common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kilmer & O., Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Advertiseme

Paper for Dark Room.

Modern photographic plates are so sensitive that often a screen of red glass in the dark room is not sufficient to prevent logging. A French photo graphic expert gives the following pre- scription for making a paper screen, which is 90 per cent more effective than red glass: Take unsized paper and dip 1t thoroughly in 100 cubic centimeters of water containing six grams of tartrazine. Then pass it over plotting paper and dry 1t. To render the coloring matter more ad- herent, a little gum arabic may be added to the solution.

MANY TRAPPED

345 MEN ARE SAVED BY QUICK WORK OF RESCUE

EXPLOSION KILLS 80

 GAS.

Birmingham, Ala. - Eighty were killed and sixty injured, some of them seriously, in a dust explosion in Dolo- mite mine No. 8 of the Woodward Iron Company, nine miles from this city, which trapped 475 workers beneath the surface, according to an official statement issued here by D. E. Wilson, president of the company. Officials summed up the result of the disaster as follows: Dead, S3; injured, 50; men rescued uninjured, 345. Accord ing to company officials the explosion occurred simultaneously with the crash of three skip cars which ran "wild" down the slope to the mine yards" approximately HOO feet from the entrance. These cars, breaking the cable, while they were being hauled up the slope to the entrance, crashed downward, severing an cleo tric circuit. This caused a spark and as the cars crashed into the yards" where on trackage in the interior of the mine were loaded coal cars assem- Dleu DelOTt DtluS lduicu lO tuc sur face, the explosion occurred. So great was the blast that the flames belched upward all the way to the mine en- trance, approximately HOO feet, and then continued on POO feet further to the mine tipple, setting this afire. Ap- proximately fifty men were working in the yards" at the time and all of these were either killed or injured.
 More than 300 workers, uninjured by the accident and blast that fol- lowed, were trapped for several hours. A manway connecting No. 3 mine with Woodward No. 2 afforded place of ex- 1t for scores, while others were brought to the surface by the mine mouth when it was cleared. Most of the uninjured men huddled themselves in groups in various places of safety, some mile from the main entrance.
 Fire which followed the explosion hindered the work of rescue, and was believed to have been responsible for many deaths. The injured among the first men rescued were removed to Bessemer hospitals.
 According to one of the first min CTS to be talk n out alive, the explo- sion came with little warning to the men working deep in the entries. This miner stated that the first warning he had was when the cOncussiOn ef the big blast half turned his body about. Realizing that an explosion had oc- cured he started to make his way to- ward the mouth of the mine. He was joined by other miners.
 This survivor who escaped un- scathed said that after he had pro- ceeded only a short distance he began to feel the effects of the dreaded after damp and for |; time believed that he and his companions were doomed.
 These men were among the first to reach the outside with actual news of the terrible scenes inside the mine. They told of passing over bodies in the main entry, and of seeing other miners, badly injured and moaning for help as the f@tal after damp snuffed out their lives.
