Pull credit seems to be given the prevalent American spirit in the west­ern paper which recently printed the following item: "Dr. Miltenberger spent Friday in Chicago, taking a post-sraduate course in surgery." He should now be able to cut a consider­able swathe in the old home town.

Former Governor Shaw, who Is making speeches in various parts of the country, says that his audience al­ways show the greatest Interest and approval when he advocates protec­tion. There is no question that the people have had enough of the free trade kind of tariff making and that protection, without regard to rates or schedules, is stronger than it has been for years.

TO THE DEBUTANTE. Of course, Spring, It's nothing in my young life How you act. But, girl, it's a fact That they didn't act so in my day. (Not so terribly far, far away.) Why,.here it's (he date for your com­

ing out party. And everyone's waiting, all eager

and hearty, To reach out the glad hand to you, And give you a howdy-do: Here they've given the sky a new

coat of blue, • And scoured the sun to a frazzle— To make it so bright it would dazzle. And here we all stand And reach out a hand. All ready to tell you: "Hello, little

Spring, Weil, you are the sweetest and

daintiest thing That's made her debut In an age. You're certain to be all the rage."

But, Spring, You silly thing, You goosey, you: •What do you do? With everyone waiting about You sit in a corner and pout. Or stand there and gaze into space, With that hard, frozen look on your

face. Don't you know debutantes should be

dear, And dimpled, and smiling—not queer And cold and strong minded? You'll

. never be wed If you don't put these notions right

out of your head. That handsome young Summer who's

coming, they say, Cannot be attracted by acting this

way. Spring, really, my dear, you'd make

anyone rave. Why can't you behave? —Miriam Teichner in the New York

Globe.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING. In the April American magazine is

the story of a very wealthy man who made his fortune through an adver­tising scheme. In front of a small store in New York City a crowd was looking at a novel article exhibited in the window. The advertising man Introduced himself to the proprietor of the store and said:

"You have something here that is worth a fortune if advertised, r want to advertise it."

"I don't believe much in advertis­ing," said the man.

"I'll make yon a proposition. If 1 triple the sales of the articles in three months, will you give a half Interest in the business?"

After an hour's talk the other con­sented. Inside of live days he call­ed his new partner up on the phono and begged him to stop as he was sold out ten times over the capacity of his plant. The advertising man took a half interest in the business, rented a five story building, advertis­ed for workers—and inside of a month had increased' the output of the article forty-fold and extended his field to other cities.

As a result of the war women in all the warring countries are taking big­ger places in the various industries.

In or ' ier to meet the shortage of ag­ricultural labor in Kn.-lond, dun to the enlistment o ' men. steps have been taken to mobil ize a sufficient number if women to work the land.

An induction balance has been de­vised for the purpose of locating buried shells in the soil of the former batt lefield, so that the farmer may go over i t safely with the plow.

PREVENTABLE FIRES. State fire marshals, the federal

authorities and fire prevention experts generally have estimated the propor­tion of fires due to preventable causes at between 25 and 50 per cent of the total number of fires. The Texas state insurance board, an of­ficial body, holds that practically so per cent of the fires are preventable by the exercise of reasonable care and protection, individual and mun­icipal.

These figures of the Texas board are the more interesting because they cov-,er every flrc reported to it by the local authorities under the provisions of the state law since December 1, 1910, now totaling 42,000. This is the largest mass of official data available and furnishes a sufficiently broad basis of average to be conclusive, while the fact that It is furnished and tabulated by local and state officials puts it in a different class from statistics collect­ed by the Insurance companies, which might be suspected of drawing con­clusions to suit their own interests. Iti fact, the state authorities go much further than the insurance men in estimating the proportion of fires that are preventable.

Of 19.398 dwelling fires, the Texas board holds that SR.2 per cent were

i duo to preventable causes, and of the j 22.f'12 fires in all other classes except ; cotton gins and automobies, which ' are excluded because they burn from j Inherent causes, the board holds that 74.S per cent were preventable. Com-

'mentinsr on these figures the ' Texas [board says: j "It will be noted In the data here-j In presented that more than IS per cent of all fires charged to the dwell-| ing class alone, from known causes. |are the result of defective flues. The j unsafe installation of stoves and other | heating devices In that class of risks •is responsible for 11 per cent of losses, i while sparks on roof produced more j than 5 per cent of dwelling fires. The 'ever present menace of the shingle ' roof is In evidence on every hand, and particularly is It noticeable in almost every cause shown carrylnc a heavy

: percentage of losses. It will be noted (that gasoline and other volatile fires , are entered with a loss ratio In all 'classes entirely out of keeping with I conditions as they should be. due al­most entirely to Improper storage and careless handling of those products.'"
