Netv York Fire Department Takes
Out 134 Policies to Demon
strate Law's Defects.
ALBANY, X. Y., April I. Two small
pictures, an oil stove and other house
hold furniture, all told worth $3.95,
were shown to members of the legis
lative committee on insurance tonight
by Fire Commissioner Johnson of New
York, as the best proof of the necessity
of passing a law to require a previous
inspection of property and a sworn
statement of the applicant before a fire
Insurance policy could be issued.
Using the same methods as the "fire
bugs" of the so-called "arson trust,"
Commissioner Johnson explained that
the New York fire department had been
able to insure the property valued at
$3.95 for a total of $127,500 by taking
out 135 policies.
Commissioner Johnson said he had
had the greatest difficulty in convinc
ing the people of the existence of the
"arson trust" until he resorted to the
methods used by the "firebugs."
Mr. Johnson declared that foreign
countries had no arson cases "because
they do merely , the simple things we
require In this bill."

GALE LASHES OHIO RIVER
High "Wind Makes Tossing Sea of
Angry Stream Peril at Padncah
Grows Hourly Shawneetovra
Is Two-Thirds Gone.
CAIRO, 111.. April 2. The highest
stage of the Ohio River ever recorded
here was . reached tonight when the
river gauge showed 54.4 feet. This
exceeds - the former high -water mark
by .S of a foot. The river is still ris
ing and the town Is In a state of ex
pectancy never before experienced here.
Reports of flood damage in other
cities were received here nearly every
hour. One of the most thrilling stories
to reach here tonight was brought by
Captain S. A. Martaln and Captain H.
A. Jamieson, of the Sixth Regiment,
Missouri National Guard. They had
been rescued In a launch from a section
of the levee which had broken away
at Bird Point. Mo., Just below here.
They declared 36 of their men were
on a section of the levee 200 yards
long and 10 feet wide, which wa
floating down the Mississippi.
Steam Lanark Gives Cbase.
Commander McMunn. of the Illinois
Naval Reserves at once secured &
steam launch and set out to rescue
the Missouri soldiers. There Is a
swift current in the Mississippi and
fears were expressed for the 'safety
of the soldiers. The Sixth Missouri
Regiment was on duty at Birds Point,
which has been threatened by flood
waters for several days.
Army troops with boats and barges
are en route to Cairo, and on account
of the danger at Mound City a squad
of naval reserves was sent there in
a cutter tonigrht. Should the levee
break Cairo will be signalled by col
ored lights.
Many persons are destitute at
O'Brien's landing-. Rescue parties have
not been heard from.
Shawneetown is practically wiped off
the map. More than 200 of the 300 in
habitants have fled.
Troops have gone to Meredosia to
protect the levee, where the water is
within four inches of the top and fam
ilies are fleeing".
Many buildings in Louisville, Ky are
in danger of collapsing as flood recedes
slowly. Other Kentucky towns report
rising waters at Owensboro, Henderson
and Wickliffe.
Paducah Situation Grave.
The situation at Paducah, Ky is
growing worse hourly. The first floors
of every wholesale and retail Btore are
flooded. Small shacks have been erected
on safe land to house refugees. The
river rose a foot and a half tonight.
It is now 52.2 feet with four feet more
predicted. Troops seized power boat
and started barges for Cairo. Rations
are available for 10,000 for 10 days.
Brookport and Smithrleld are in peril
and cut off from the outside world.
All that is left tonight of Shawnee
town is the few substantial brick and
stone buildings behind the main levee,
and they are considered unsafe. Fewer
than 100 persons remained in the town,
which formerly had 300 inhabitants.
Those remaining are perched in the
second and third stories of Main-street
buildings. A strong wind this morn
ing completed the destruction begun by
the opening of the south levee yes
terday. '
River Becomes Tossing Sea.
The 45-mlle-an-hour gale lashed the
broad Ohio into a rolling, tossing sea,
until breakers dashed over the already
submerged levees. Between the churn
ing waters and the southwest gales,
frame buildings fell to pieces and the
more substantial structures were
shaken.
During the six-hour wind storm the
big yawls of the Naval Reserve re
moved from the second stories of homes
previously considered above flood wa
ter dozens of families who had be
lieved themselves safe. Three million
dollars is a conservative estimate of
the damage.

"About two years ago I took a severe cold
that settled on my lanes and for several
months I was annoyed day and night with a
dreadful dry hacking cough. I lost weight
md became very much debilitated, was run
down in health and worried constantly for
fear I was coin? into consumption. After
taking a number of different cough medi
cines without relief, I saw Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy advertised and got a bottle
of it. It had a soothing effect from the first.
It loosened my cough and I steadily grew
better nntil it disappeared altogether,"

Why Look Older
Than You Are?
Double-vision glasses need not make one look older, or
cause embarrassment by being conspicuous. Kryptok Lenses
comprise near-view and far-view lenses in an integral piece
'of glass. They have an absolutely smooth surface, and are
entirely free from the seams, dirt-catching lines, cement and
bulky appearance characteristic of old-style pasted double
vision lenses.
Kryptok Lenses are good looking. They have the great
advantage of perfect vision for both distance and reading,
coupled with the neat appearance of single-vision glasses. In
no way do they suggest advancing years.
Over 200,000 people are now wearing Kryptok Lenses.
