Here is where the firemen did most of their brave work. The flames were in the alleyway between the Brady building and the building and before It could be prevented the Interior of the latter was aflame. A hose was played steadily on the door a-top the stairway on the alley but the stubborn fire held Its own for over three quarters of an hour healing back the stream and threatening to consume the whole building.

The average reader of political news and the great mass of Intelligent American voters had hardly heard of Oscar Underwood of Alabama till two years ago. They then began to ask, has this man been all these Underwood a Worker. The solution Is simple, logical and of genuine credit to the subject of the discussion. He had simply been st work. The Underwood way is not the blazed and blazoned way. Ills progress has been steady, but there have been no loud of the stages reached on the Journey upward. There has been no meteor business In his. It has been a steady, light, growing more and n-ore steadily brilliant as It grew normally to needs and conditions and possibilities. The Underwood Is exemplified In the significant record of his biography In the Congressional Record. Where there were from twenty to forty lines telling the life story of the other senators and representatives there are Just five terse, well packed, fact full lines about Underwood. The congressmen furnish the material for the In this biographic their early life struggles, their triumph over difficulties, modestly veiled of their winnings by figured majorities over opponents, whom they married and who married them and a good deal more.

That's the reason you never heard of his rise years ago- nil progress like a meteor and most likely his disappearance space and darkness.
