LAWS FOR FIRE PREVENTION
New York City Seeks to Have Them
Enforced Against Owners of Prop
erty Who Are Negligent
The fire eojnmissloner of New Tort
city has, witn the consent of the city's,
law department, brought ault against
the owners of several buildings who
disregarded an order to Install fire- 1
cheeking appliances fur the expeuaes
entailed by the municipality In extin
guishing fires in those buildings,
which occurred subsequent to the
service on the owners of notice to
comply with the requirements of the
commissioner in the matter of provid
ing safeguards against the spread of!
fire. The orders in question were is
sued on Mnrch 6, 1916, and because of
failure to comply with them were sent
to the bureau of penalties in the cor
poration counsel's office on June 2 for
the enforcement of the legal penalty.
One of the buildings was converted
into a storage warehouse a few months
ago, and at the beginning of the sum
mer, when the families in the neigh
borhood began 'to move away, was
filled with furniture and household be- : i
longings. It is stated that the house-1j
hold belongings of about 700 families 1 t
were stored In the warehouse. | \
An itemized statement showing the 1 j
complete cost to the fire department
In the services of the firemen, ap
paratus, expenditure of coal, water,'
etc., and damage to apparatus was pre
pared, nnd the suit was brought for
this amount. As It was a four-alarm
fire a very large number of fire com
panies participated. The firemen
worked from 10:20 p. m. until 6:30
a. m. The cost of extinguishing this
fire is estimated at $1,500. 1

POLES AND WIRES HURT CITY

Los Angeles Newspaper Complains of
Conditions Which Work Harm In
Many Other Municipalities.
The residents of Los Angeles are to I
be congratulated If the city shall
quickly acquire the privately owned
lighting systems and avoid the multi- ,
'• pie pole-and-wlre systems now borne i
: by the northeast districts. In the lat- |
ter, in Gnrvnnzn and Highland Park ■
districts particularly, more landscape
beauty has been blotted out In a few
months than the residents have been
able to create in several years. Poles
and wires are everywhere, trees de
spoiled, private property rights vio
lated, in stringing wires without per
mission, nnd all the evils usually at
tendant upon service by employees
protected in their vandalism by civil
service. It is most sincerely hoped
that acquisition of existing lines by
the city will result in the removal of
at least two-thirds of the present Jun
gle, for the district is now despoiled.
—Los Angeles Times.
City Managing a Profession.
the commissioners in charge
ot Nla?fira Falls, N. Y„ were looking
, nbout for 8 m8I >ager for the city they
heard of a young fellow at Cadillac,
Mich., named Carr. Cadillac was pay
ing Carr $3,500 as city manager, and It
figured that it had made a good in
vestment, for he had saved the city
$7.000 out of a budget of $78,000.
Carr looked over the ground at Niag
ara Falls and said he would take the
Job nt $5,000. But he agreed to save. ■
the city $25,000 h.v putting the city on a'
business basis. It looks as if he would ;
mnke good. !
I That's what the city manager plan ;
makes possible. It builds up a corps ; !
of trained men who know how cities j ]
ought to run. Theu.lt permits a city ! !
to bid for the services of a man who Is ' ■

conspicuously successful In the busi
ness.—Kansas City Star.
; Father of "Tanks." ; ;
I Patriotic Scotsmen might plausibly ..
; claim that the real inventor of "tanks" ] |
was John Napier of Merchiston, who • •
also invented logarithms. He had 11
many varied intellectual activities be- j
sides the higher mathematics, and was |
a zealous protagonist of Protestant- 1
Ism. For confounding nil "enemies of,
I God's truth" he confided to Bacon's
! older brother certuln "secret lnven-1
tlons." These included a chariot of
metal, double musket-proof, the mo
tion of which was controlled by those
within, "who discharged shot through
small holes, the enemy being abused,
nnd uncertain what defense to make
against a moving mouth of metal."
This looks like the original "tank," but
Napier directed the detailed designs
for his weird instruments of war to
be kept secret until necessity com
pelled their use.
Right Type of Patriotism.
Every American who does not think
his lnnd the fairest that ever the sun !
shone on, his own state the finest in .
the Union, and his town the best place
in which to live has not reached the
same Celestial plane of joy and pa
triotism as the foreigner, who thinks
Ills little wind-swept Img Is the happi
est spot In the happiest land the good
God ever made. This is the love of
country that glorifies a land nnd the
people that inhabit it. This is what
mokes every hill and valley, every i
rock nnd rill, the most beautiful In the j
world, because It I* ours, made sacred :
and beautiful by the memories woven
around It,—Exchange.

Reminiscent Indulgence.
Retrospection may be defined as
i that form ot reminiscent Indulgence
that enables one to swell up like a
strutting turkey gobbler when he
thinks of the good deed« he performed
In the year behind him until he passe*
to the vast palpitating mass of mean
ness that he put over during the sun
period.—Houston Post
