THE fire report for July will show that
the number of Abrams of fire on the Fourth
of July was the smallest ever known in the
history of the day, as far as this city is
concerned" explained a fire department Off
Clal to a Star reporter, and it will prove
that the policy of having firecrackers in the
open Is success in every way. In years when
the firing of firecrackers was prohibited
the boys were forced to go into alleys and
back yards to have their fun, for it seems
to be natural for the boys to celebrate the
holiday, and the result was very often
that from twenty to thirty fires occurred
OF course, some of them were but slight
fires, but they called out the department
just the same and gave them great deal
of work. This Fourth there was but one
alarm in the eastern district, and that was
unnecessary and was caused by the burning
of lot of brush at the Soldiers Home.
The officials of the Soldiers Home gave the
department notice that they intended to
have the fire at o'clock and that all pre-
cautions would be taken, SO that though
there would be a big blaze out there, there
would be no necessity for the fire depart
ment to assist in the celebration. Some cit
izen who did not know of this on seeing the
DiaZe turned IN an arm. a telephone mes
sage was sent to the Home and the an
swer came in that the old soldiers were
having some fun. but that there was no
darger. The department, therefore, did
rot respond. Throughout the city proper
there were but few demands on the depart
ment, the most of them being the result of
other cause than firecrackeTs. The Dis
triCt Commissioners, when they adopted
the open celebration of the Fourth were
severely criticized by persons who thought
such letting down of the gates would be a
very serious risk. This year proved again
that it was the safest way and that 1t has
reduced fires to the minimum instead of in
creasing them. Cities that prohibit tirecrack-
the Fourth suffered considerably from
fires, and it will not be long before all
of them will adopt our plan. The big dyna-
mite crackers are nuisance in that they
make a terrible and altogether unnecessary
noise; but as long they are fired in the
streets there is but little danger from them
in the way of fires. My experience is that
the boys do not fire them as much as men,
for the reason that their cost is too much
for the ordinary boys Fourth of July saw

FOOL AND HIS MONEY

There is a young man in one of the gov
ernment departments who has been COM
PEELED to stand for good deal of guy
ing at the hands of his Office mates during
the past few days. The young man is all
right in most respects, but for long while
past lie has had weak spot for "the
ponies" To put 1t plainly, he has been a
steady and consistent loser at the racing
game For several years past he has
sloughed off most Of his governmental pay
In attempting to pick winners. When. as
rarely happened, victory perched on his
banners, he has been going in for plunging
In mild sort of way, and, OF course, he
has always emerged with weary soul and
hardly the price of smoking tobacco.
Among other things which "the ponies
have done to him is the chiseling him out
OF a summer vacation for three straight
years. Every spring he has set his Jaw
down on the racing game (after the wind
up OF the Benning meeting. that is) and
saved TWO or three months pay for little
seashore blowout. Then, with his leave
granted, and the money in his pocket he
mas listened to the wheedling buzz of the
morse bug and, yielding lost the whole
punole on two or three races before getting
out OF town. Then. without the price of an
ice cream soda, he has been compelled to
arnt around town with long face until
the expiration of his leave when ned re-

any vacation

ONLY A HINT NEEDED.
And the Woman In the Case Was Not
Afraid to Give 1t.

The best looking girl in the Pine noun
tain country was Susan Natter and Susan
was extremely, not to say foolishly, fond
of Jim Davis. a young man who was my
chief timberman in the season, and who
owned and conducted a good farm in the
river bottom as a side issue. Jim was the
catch of the mountains, and, like other men
in that happy class. he was careless and
stood a fair chance of losing what ought to
be his because he was too sure of it. Susan
was just the girl for him, but he had al
most worn ont her patience by his dilly
dailying policy, and one day 1 thought the
end had surely come, and it was all up
with Jim, who was a favorite of mine as a
winner of the Susan stakes.
Il want to see the best dress pattern you
got in the store, colonel she said to me
as I sat out in front of the commissary one
day, and bein' mighty pertickeler I want
you to wait on me- she added with a
smirk not usual to Susan"
"Oh. indeed l said chaffingIy going

and gave me no further satisfaction She
bought the goods and went away, and two
hours later Jim came in from work and said
he was going over the mountain that night
with one of the Martin girls to a dance
BY the way, Jim l said. did you know
Susan Natter was going to get married?'

Earning Her Money.

What is it you said you would like to
know about today?" inquired the trance
lady as the young man with the feverish
hat band came into the reception room.
WELL" he answered, Il thought I'd like
to get little bit away from the modern
period and see II you can't tell me some
thing about the days of our remote an
cestors. I've read a lot about them, but,
to tell you the truth. l don't always at
tach the fullest credit to what I see in
books. And they don't give the exact de-
tails about people. Did you ever hear of
a queen that wasn't beautiful? There are
lots of things that the people who write
books don't dare tell the truth about"
You don't expect me to dive into the
past and give away court secrets for 30
cents, do your inquired the trance lady a
little tartly.
''Oh, no; certainly not. But if you could
tell ME something in a general way-some-
thing a little out of the dull routine, you
know. | don't want to stop improving my
mind, you understand. but l m getting tired
Of dates and names. Now, for instance, sup
pose we take up the tower of Babel. I've
always been interested in that. A friend
of mine has some bricks with cuneiform
inscriptions relating to the tower of Babel
at least, so he says
Bricks with writing on themg' exclaim-
ed the trance lady.
Yes. That Is how the Assyrians wrote"
MY friend says that Nebuchadnezzar
tried to complete the tower. but failed
Does he? Well, sit down and I'll try to
tell you something about it. It's a good

sighed.

NfppOnism in japan,
From the Kobe Herald,


A japanese boy, a middle-school student
came into my study the other day and
SAID NJ did not believe in using any foreign
language in speaking to foreigners. He b.-
heves all japanese ought to use their own
language. and make foreigners learn tn
speak in Japanese. This was so unione
and refreshing, coming from a student.
that was in quandary for a moment
not knowing how to take it. But he in
formed me that he was a Nippon Sbuei
man. and that was the way to preserve
national institutions. There is a growing
dread among large class of japanese thai
the national Institutions are in danger of
being swallowed up in the hurried Eu-
ropea1izing of things; hence the spread
OF Nipponism, the drawing back into q
national shall. The national spirit will he
lost if too much leaning toward foreign
things is allowed. hence the absence of any
English on the recent issue of postage
stamps The May number of the Taiyo has
not one word of English in it-not even
The Sun on the title page. No more En-
glish contents. no English names under the
pictures. Nipponism has gone mad.
