FIRE PROTECTION.

Country people have but little fire
protection and many think but little
about it. 1t is true there is not the
danger in sparsely settled com
,nunitv there Is in city. But no
house can be so isolated that there Is
no danger or risk. 1t is not IN
frequent that some magnificent, or
comfortable country home is burned

md fire extinguishers thoroughly

service. Some of these can be pro-
vided even at isolated country homes:
At any rate the occupants need not
RIM the risk without being in some
sort of readiness to cope with the
flames.
Ii is a subject worthy of the con-

The West Virginian has been con-
tending all the time that there was
no increase in the valuation of prop
nrtv This year, but that the increase
in the assessment comes from the
finding of new property. But de-
mite all it has said it now comes out
in a big article about the Fairmont
ritv assessment under a big head
that reads: 'Big Increase in Val
nation" Then it compares the
fianres of this year to those of last
hy wards. showing a total increase
II S4s9191. Following this is uses
those words: 'To the above amount
must bc added about $4,000 as the
increase in new properties not be
rora listed" Thus. it is only $50
600 additional property is put on
the assessors books this year, or at
least that is what the West virgin
ian saws. Now. where did that big
increase come from? Certainly not
from finding property that was not
on the books before, because the
West Virginian says that sort OF
nropertv amounts to only 100000.
The West Virginian must admit that
there has been increase in the val
uation of property that has been re-
listed.

NEW RULE SUGGESTED

A new eligibility rule for college atm
Ietics. BY which freshmen and graduate
students would be debarred from taking
part IN athletic contests with other col
leges is suggested in yesterdays issue OF
the Harvard Bulletin. the organ OF the
Harvard Athletic association at Cam
bridge. This is the rule suggested:
"only members of the sophomore, junior
and senior classes Of Harvard college and
Of the Iawrence sciertifo school and
special students in either OF the above
named departments, who have had one
years residence shall represent Harvard
university In athletic contests. No one
who has ever played on an athletic team
OF any other college or who is more than
,b YEARS Of age shall be eligible for any
Harvard team"
Commenting on the proposed rule. tho
Bulletin says 1T In believed that the
enactment OF some such rule would do
away with solicitation OF students In pre-
paratory schools Most OF the disputes
and troubles now arise in connection with
such students and those who have played
for other colleges
