SAYS CHIEF BELT
Former Most Important
Factor in Fighting Flames
SMOKE G EATE ST EVIL
Fire Chief Explains the Essential
Duties of a Department
Leader.

Judgment in fighting fires, in tie
opinion of Fire Chief William Belt. is
Of greater Importance than courage.
While the veteran fire chief recognizes
that no man can wage a successful
fight against fire unless his makeup
includes courage, he insists that iudg-
ment in sizing up a fire is of greater
Importance.
I'm my opinion" said Chief Belt
today, the most important asset in
the makeup Of a hrefghter. especially
If he be chief. is judgment. He may
have courage. determination, and en-
ergy in abundance, but If he lacks
judgment he cannot be q successful
frefighter.
ITO arrive early on the scene is of
utmost Importance 10 the chief. He
must judge at a glance what the ex-
tent of the fire is. how much headway
it has already gained. the character OF
the materials in the burning building,
the likelihood of quick combustion.
and last. but not least, the seat of the
fire zone.
''Fire-fighting really resolves Itself
into smoke fighting. for the smoke IS
the real key to the situation. II some
inventor would only give TO the world
machine. which. of course. though
unlikely. Is not impossible, to condense
smoke and remove II from the build
ing entirely, II would reduce the danger
to life and limb at least 90 per cent
and enable us to do away with most of
this expensive fire-fighting apparatus.
1T IS a wise plan never to order
man In a building until the chief has
made a quick survey of the premises
himself. and is able to judge the best
point Of attack"

KANSAN'S NEW SEAT
BEGETS SENATORS
Vie Murdoch Rejoicing
Over His Luck.
BURKETT LAST HAD PLACE
And He Is Now the Youngest Member
in the Upper House of the
Present Congress.

Kansas has room for a new Senator,
or will have It before long, and there
by hangs a tale.
When Elmer j. Burkett came from
Lincoln. Neb., six years ago, to become
a member OF the lower house. he was
enc of the youngest men in the body.
He had been an Iowa farmer boy a few
years before, and he found a firm friend
very soon In Jonathan =. DolIiver. then
a Congressman from Iowa
Dolliver Picked II.
Dolliver wanted the young Nebraskan
for a seat neighbor. and picking a good
seat managed 70 arrange that nobody
should choose it. AS a result Burkett
got it and was seated next to the Iowan
Luck seemed TO attend those two seats
Before long Dolliver was drafted to the
Senate, and Burkett was left alone. He
remained in the seat Dolliver had picked
for him throughout his six years of
service in the House, always having the
good fortune TO be able to draw IT again.
Last winter the Nebraska Legislature
picked On Mr. Burkett for Senator He
is now the youngest member of the
upper body. and his lucky seat. in the
lucky neighbcrhood. was left vacant.
Kansan Delighted.
Right after the drawing of seats IN
the House. on the opening day of the
present session. Senator Burkett met
Victor Murdock. of Kansas. in the cor
ridor between the House and Senate
Let me tell you my luck" fairly
shouted Murdock I've drawn your old
seat"
Hope you'll draw it's luck" replied
the Senator.
The seat is one Of the best in the
House, and the luck of Vic" Murdock,
the smartest man in Kansas. became
the theme of interesting comment in
the neighborhood at once. They are Of

Owing the rapid growth OF their
various other departments, SUCH as
Dry Goods, Notions, C!oaEs, Suits
Millinery, Shoes. Underwear, Hosiery
etc, the Leader Department Store is
forced to give up their Clothing depart
ment ia order to make room for their
other departments which, are fast out
growing their present space.
The Leader Department store mas
had such rapid growth that, notwl'h'
standing the additional space they
nrocured from time to time by leasing
additional room and extending 'helr
main building, they are now compeil-
ed to give up one of their departments
in or6er to have sufficient space III
which to properly handle the remain
ing departments. They have therefore
concluded to give up the Clothing D''
nartment, and have inaugurated a
closing out sale. -.
This sale comes just in the 1'gat
season and will afford a splendid op'
portunity to those desiring spring al q
