MANY OZARK ROOMS"
Survey of City in New York
Shows Air Facilities Low.

A survey in a typical industrial
city in New York State showed re-
Gently that II per cent of the build

FIRE HAZARD GROWS
Lower Losses Attributed to De-
cline in Values.

The neglect of property which was
caused by depression conditions and
which adds to the ever-present dam
ger of fire more than Offset any grow
ing consciousness in recent years on
the part of American citizens of the
value of fire prevention, according to
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's.
While annual fire losses for the
years 1881, 1882 and 1888 are less in
dollars and cents value than those of
the preceding five years, the board
points out that this is due largely to
the tremendous write-off in property
values which occurred during this
period. Studies do not substantiate
the conclusion that the lower annual
loss Is the result CT more effective
fire prevention and protection.

The Board of Public Works was
created by the Constitution and con-
sists of the Governor, the Comptrol-
Ter and the State Treasurer. The law
requires this Board to hold regular
meetings in Annapolis on the first
Wednesday of January, April, July
and October at which times they shall
hear and determine such matters as
affect the public works of the State
and such other matters as the Legis-
lature shall confer upon the Board.
At the time of the adoption of the
present Constitution, the State was
substantially interested in several
public service corporations, particul-
larly the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
The State, because of its interest in
these corporations, was entitled to
name certain directors and of course
to vote its stock at all stockholders
meetings. Authority to represent the
interests of the State was conferred
by the Constitution upon the Board of
Public Works. By an amendment of
the Constitution adopted in 1891, the
Board of Public Works was authoriz-
ed to dispose of the interest of the
State in the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road as well as its interest in any
other work of internal improvement
or in any banking corporation. Under
this authority, after long negotia-
tons, the interest of the State in all
such corporations was disposed of. 1t
may be interesting to know that the
State received Preferred Stock of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, upon
which dividends are guaranteed and
which can only be redeemed with the
approval of the State. The franchises

of the Railroad are so interviewer in
connection with this obligation of the
Railroad Company that the obligation
to pay the interest or dividend on the
stock can never be escaped.
Since the State has disposed of its
interests in works of internal i'm
provement, the duties of the Board of
Public Works have been materially
lessened. 1t is still the duty of the
Board however to perform some very
important duties and functions. All
securities of the State offered for
sale must be offered and sold by the
Board, to whom bids for State Bonds
must be directed. 1t is also the duty
of the Board to award all public con-
tracts on behalf of the State, unless
the law provides some other agency to
make the award. There has been little
activity of this nature on the part of
the Board since the reorganization
of the various departments of the
State Government, and it is now gen.
orally provided that contracts are
awarded by the Governor and the
head of the particular department
involved.
With this article we conclude an ex-
PLANTATION and discussion of those
offices and departments of the State
Government embraced within the
financial department. Subsequent
articles will deal with the Department
of Law, the Judiciary of the State,
the various local officials provided for
under the Constitution, with a very
brief description of the duties and
functions of such local officials, as
their duties, vary in the several coun-
ties. Then will follow a discussion of
the various offices, boards and COM
missions created by the Legislature,
as directed by the Constitution or
under its general powers, some of
which now constitute the most i'm
portant functions of the State Gov
eminent. Then will follow a brief
summary of the various State insti-
buttons, penal, correctional, social and
charitable and finally brief discus
sion of the right of franchise and the
election laws and the Home Rule
Amendment to the Constitution and
the Referendum and Recall Amend
ment. If the series of articles so far
have been of interest, the publishers
will be glad to receive the comments
of their readers.

A HAPPY SUGGESTION

Another old custom that to have passed out of
existence and yet that affords amount of enter
tainment is the making of scrapboos Older people can
remember when it quite fad and when someone in
almost every family boosted scrapbook and took great
pains in searching out good and helpful articles pasted
upon its leaves Many of these reminders of other years
are no doubt still to be found in the community no
one appears to know why few members of the younger
generation indulge in this pasme Never before was
the opportunity to gather excellent scrapbook material as
great as is now The scrapbook made today will prove
an heirloom and family treasure in few generations
come to say nothing OF the enjoyment get of
making it. The world has gone back to the simple things
OF life within the past few years. Now all it needs to
complete the program to return to scrapbook making

THE SHIFT GOES ON

Two million Americans have forsaken the cities and
their industrial ways during the last years
back to the country Most of them have settled on
small FARMS close to the cities and towns plan live
by partme employment in factories and by raising
of their own food from a few of land.
The trend has been voluntary it should be noted
This important in that reveals the people themselves
began doing what the has been studying
organized plan In most instances those doing the moving
making the change while they still have sufficient funds
to finance themselves at least make new start in
direction City life of today with its curtaled oppor
tunies through economic and industrial conditions has
lost much of its charm So the old pioneering spirit STEP
ping in and the hega to rural sections goes the
rate of a million families year.
There is in any community for good citizens
and those who prepared to finance their efforts will be
welcomed There is place here however for those who
merely seeking easy conditions at the expense of others
To those desiring homes, however-those who
dent of their ability to make their way-the hand
Of fellowship is always extended by the people Of this
munity.

Little Hanover College eleven that
has been pushed about the gridironS
during the present football campaign
is to journey to Bloomington, Ill,
Thursday for Turkey Day tilt with
Illinois Wesleyan, and that will be
the swan song of Indiana football
for the 1885 season.
The curtain fell on strictly Hoo
sier soil pigskin activities last Sat-
urday with a trio of games that
was rightly acceptable as dessert
for a meal of fine gridiron struggles
that have been dished out to state
fans during the last two months.
Indiana retained possession of the
Old Oaken Bucket for another year
with a well-earned TO victory over
the fast-stepping Purdue machine.
A Well-timed pass, Wendell Walker
to Vernon Huffman, who in turn gal
loped SIS yards to the goal line, after
which Capt. Reed Kelso booted
perfect placement for the extra
point, tells the scoring history of
the game. 1t was the 18th renewal
of the Purdue Indiana series and the
thirteenth victory for the Crimson.
Notre Dame closed the most sue
cessful season enjoyed by the Irish
since Knute Rockne was directing
them to national championships
back in 1929 and 1880. On Saturday
they hurled back challenging
Southern California eleven at South
Bend, 20-13.
1t was a great windup for the boys
