Monroe, La., Dec. 20.—Company Louisiana National Guard, consisting of sixty-five men and three offici der command of Capt. D. W. Cooper, moved out of Monroe yesterday o automobile trucks for Mer Rouge i Morehouse parish, under orders froi the adjutant general’s office at Baton Rouge. Although no deflate informa tion of the purpose of the military company at Mer Rouge has been ceived here, it is understood the troops were called in connection with the situation brought about by the kid napping last August by hooded men of five Baton Rouge citizens, two of whom have disappeared. One report was that the troops had been ordered to Bastrop, Morehouse parish seat, where they were to guard the court house for thirty days, in eating that an opening hearing ii the kidnapping decided on recently at a conference between Gov. Parker and attorney General Coco would be held immediately. Capt. Cooper, who was ordered Baton Rouge several days ago, presi bly for a conference with Gov. Park- r and other state officials, returned t noon, but refused to discuss the eason for the military order. In addition to arms and ammunition he troops were supplied with provi sions to last twenty days. Mayor Rob ert Dade of Mer Rouge, in response a message as to conditions there, stat ed last night that there had been m disorders of any kind at Mer Roug< for several months. Morehouse parish officials expressed surprise that should be sent into the parish, stating that normal conditions prevailed there. The five Mer Rouge citizens, includ ing Watt Daniels and Thomas F. Rich ards, the two missing men, were kid napped on the night of August 24, by thirty or forty hooded men. They taken into the country whipping administered to at lei of them. Three of the party, including John Daniels, father of Watt Daniels, were released and after wandering all night in the woods, returned homes the following morning. Nothing has since been heard from Watt Daniels and Richards. Parish authorities, assisted by citizens of Mer Rouge, instituted a search tor the missing men, which has been continu ed since the kidnapping. Appeals by relatives of the two men were made to Gov. Parker and parish officials, but all efforts of the authorities to ferret out the perpetrators have failed. Theories have been advanced that the lake near Mer Rouge may hold the bodies of the two men. One report current yesterday, was that the troops ordered to Mer Rouge would drag the lake. ! CHICAGO’S “LEANING i TOWERS” NOW ON A SOLID FOUNDATION Dodge Brothers MOTOR CAR Few days are too cold for comfortable driving in this sturdy car. Snug-fitting curtain*, which open and close with the doors, afford complete protection from wind and snow. The carburetor and starter are famous for their prompt and dependable response on cold mornings. Cord tires, with safety treads, act as a safeguard against skidding, and greatly reduce the possibility of having to change tires in disagreeable weather.

Thofntsvllls, Qa Phone 19 219 West Jackson Street Chicago, Dec. 17.—Chicago’s three “leaning towers,” skyscrapers built during the nineties, now are resting firmly on bedrock foundations eighty feet below the surface. The three big office buildings, among the first in the skyscraper class, originally built on pile foundations, and when the piles settled they left noticeably out of plumb. An inquiry disclosed that all three had been jacked up while foundations were continued down to the solid rock, and that since the alteration was made there has been no further settling. Chicago is underlaid by a solid silurian deposit of Niagara limestone from forty to tighty feet down. Over it is a loose deposit of blue clay and other material. Some of the first skyscrapers, fol lowing building methods then in vogue, were erected on forests of piling, but the foundations proved unsuited to holding the immense weight of the big office structures. Chicago’s building laws limit the height of office buildings to 260 feet. It is impossible, geologists the University of Chocago say, to pile up enugh weight, with’n that limit to cause any shifting t-r slipping of the bedrock foundations. The clay deposits above the rock, on the other hand, are subject to a slight slipping movement. Workmen who dug the sixty milei of freight subway under the loop streets found that blue clay had about the consistency of well worked putty, and that it was impossible to handle it by any ordinary methods. They finally solved the problem to equiping steel bands three feet long with handles, like a cross-cut saw. Holding the blade in both hands, the workman would bend it >nl form of a horseshoe and hack out the •ft clay from the tunnel heading, while compressed air held back the until forms could be placed and the concrete walls poured.

Because Columbia has discovered a process which produces a phonograph record sur face so fine in texture, so marvelously smooth that . the needle travels over it almost inaudibly. This new and unbeliev ably quiet surface makes the phonograph what it should be, a musical in strument of the highest and purest type—giving you every inflection, the most delicate phrasing, ex quisitely expressed shades of harmony that have pre viously been lost in obtru sive surface sounds. The New Columbia Records out to-day are all made with this ultra fine, ultra smooth and quiet, new surface. For beauty of sentiment, charm of melody and rich ness of vocal expression you will find Oscar Seagle’s singing of “Where the Morning Glories Twine" a record of sheer delight. It is one of those old-fash ioned melodies that make your heart-strings sing in unison, and it is deli ciously free from irritating scratch or scrape. Tear out the accompany ing list, take it to a Colum bia Dealer and listen to any or all of these New Process Columbia Rec ords. Note the smoothness and fullness of tone. Note the beauty of expression. Only in New Process Co lumbia Records will you find this new and quiet surface. The process is patented. COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE COMPANY New York that Gov.

Police, spurred On by the offering of a reward of $10,000 for the ban dits, dead or alive, by the city and county of Denver and by an addi tional reward aggregating $5,000 of fered by the Kansas City Federal Re serve Bank, admitted that although they had clues that promised possi bilities, they were still far from the solution of the holdup. ”~Last night a squard of 14 detectives are engaged in watching a rooming house in the immediate vicinity of the government mint where earlier in the day a car, evidently left street by the bandits to be used in case of accident to their own machine during the holdup, was discovered through information furnished by a woman. The car, an investigation showed, had been stolen. The auto mobile, according to the woman, had been parked on the street by three men, about an hour preceding the holdup and subsequent gffh fighting on the front step# of the main trance to the mint. That tha robbery was accomplished by Denver bandits and not by out side highwaymen is the belief of Chief of Police H. D. Williams and :h of them is being conducted with that thaory In mind.
