Wilmington, the house would have
been saved.
We watched with anxiety and
pumped with fury, but the odds
were against us in our fight to con-
troll the steadily spreading flames
with such inadequate fire-fighting
equipment. All that was left to
do was to wait for the fre-fghting
apparatus from the city and hope
that it would arrive in time. Ex-
pectant ears strained to hear the
engine roar and siren that would
announce its approach and smart
ing eyes kept looking down the
road for headlights they hoped
would be those of the overdue fire
truck.
The farmer and his family were
stunned into speechless detection at
the sight of their home being de-
voured by flames that they were
powerless to extinguish. That
some burned to the ground that
night because the chemical fire ap-
paratus from Wilmington failed to
arrive It begged down to the
axles on a muddy stretch of road
only six milse away. No, the road
could not have prevented damage
to the house to a certain extent,
but it was to blame for the total
loss of the house.
Your home, if you live in the
country on an unimproved subsid-
iary road, could be lost by fire the
same way. This is but another
reason why the Congress of the
United States included in its fed
eral-aid appropriations for high
ways a stipulated sum for second
Twenty-Five million dollars has
been set aside for the improvement
of back roads through new all
weather construction and proper
maintenance. 1t is wise, there
fore, for those who legislate the
expenditure of road funds within
the various sstates to give careful
consideration to the road needs of
the farmers and others who make
their homes and their living on the
back roads of America.

CHEVROLET MAKES SHOWING
New 1888 Models Show Noticeable
improvements

simultaneously with the an
nouncement of its new 1888 pas
senger cars, now being displayed in
9 1900 dealer showrooms throughout
the United States, Chevrolet Satur-
dav made public its new prices.
They represent an increase ranging
from 3.4 per cent to 5 per cent, or
in dollars, of S26 to S34 per model.
The popular sedan in the Master
Deluxe series shows an increase of
S26. from S77O to O796. The in
crease in the case of seven models
is less than $50, and in the case Of
the other five is between $50 and
S34, the latter figure applying to
the Master Sport Sedan. These
new prices now include the sac.
group of accessories such as front
and rear bumpers, spare tire and
tube, radiator ornament, and in ad-
dition, on the Deluxe models, the
right hand tail lamp, all Of which
were not heretofore included in the
total prices listed but were sold at
an extra charge to the buyer. The
increase bears out the statement
made by M. E. Coyle, General Man
ager of the Chevrolet Division Of
Motors, before the com
pany's National Sales Convention
last month. Addressing the field
organization, Mr.. Coyle
asserted that the forthcoming new
models would be introduced at an
increase in price due to the steady
advance in manufacturing costs.
Following are the new prices: Mas
ter Series: Sedan, $3.50; Coach,
S668; Coupe, $648; Cabriolet, S775;
Town Sedan, $3.50; Sport Sedan,
$3.50 Master Deluxe Series: Se-
dan, S796; Coach, $3.50; Coupe,
STA; Sport Coupe, $3.50; Town SCI
dan, $3.50; Sport Sedan, S817. The
prices quoted are the delivered

GOOD ROADS DIMINISH FARM
FIRE LOSS

The loss of your home by fire, if
you live out from town in the coun-
try, can be the direct result of the
poor condition of the road that
passes your door. Farm-to-market
roads that have not been improved
and hard surfaced have a habit of
going to pieces in bad weather. [

DUPONT Highway. One night
was returning by car to my head
quarters town in the south-central
part of the state. Rain had been
falling heavily, on and off, for
about three days and nights, and
the condition of the unimproVed
road over which I was forced to
travel made driving a ticklish and
sometimes uncertain process. 1t
was about seven o'clock when l
sloshed around a sharp curve and
noticed the red glow in the sky
several miles ahead. In that sec
tion of the state that red glow
could only mean one thing. Some
farmers house or barn was burn
ing. I reached the scene of the
fire and found the farm family
and neighbors using an antiquated
hand-pump apparatus. They were
all doing their best to put out the
fire.
The house was well-built two
story structure and the family was
frantic over what was happening
to their home. I was told by one
Of the neighbors that the fire had
been a small one at first, having
started in a chimney near the
ground floor, and had gained head
way slowly. When it was seen that
the flames were going to spread
over the entire side of the house,
the fire department in Wilmington,
a few miles away, was telephoned
for help and every piece of furni-
ture and clothing was removed to
safety. If the fire truck had ar
rived in the quick time ordinarily

ity Of Federal grants and loans for
construction Of publicly owned power

Congress to enact his judiciary reor-

Government counsel were expected
to file a brief opposing the utilities
request late this afternoon or early
tomorrow. They hastened their re-
ply In the hope the court will make
up its mind at the regular conference
Saturday and announce its decision
on Tuesday-the last day of the term.
Clark Foreman, director Of the P.
w. A. power division, said a denial
OF the request would, in effect, null
lily injunctions against 40 municipal
power projects for which more than
$50,o0o,000 has been allotted.
The issue reached the highest court
on appeal from the refusal of the
United States Court Of Appeals here
to enJoin P. W. A. from financing pub

The Alabama Power Co. and the
Iowa City Light g. Power Co. con-

sented unconstitutional delegation of

contested grants were not justified by
the general welfare clause and that
