Inflammable Flannelette.
From the Lancet.


Surely the days of infiammable fannelette
should be speedily numbered. The death
roll among children who have been fatally
injured by the ignition of this perilous fab
fic is simply appalling. The wearing of
flannelette has again and again exposed
children to the same risk If their night
dresses were soaked in spirit. The fabric
catches fire as easily and burns with the
same intense flame alcohol. and the
flames are not readily extinguished. AN
inquest was held yesterday on the body of
a little boy aged two. He was left to play
in room while his mother was absent. He
was In a hannelette night shirt. The moth
err had not left the room long when she
heard screams and found the boy in flames.
He was terribly burned. and the poor little
fellow died within twenty-four hours OF
the occurrence" Such Is the sort of heart
rending paragraphs constantly appearing In
the newspapers. One coroner alone has
stated that last year he held no less than
seyenty-three inquests on children who had
been burned to death; and a large pro-
portion was due to fannelette igniting.

ANTLERS VS.. HORNS.

From st Nicholas.
How many persons, among the many

ulariy the wapiti. American elk-that
their branching antlers are cast off annu-

Before describing the manner in which

From the Boston Transcript.
Some one is complaining that the books

The Bill Passed in 57th Congress.

1t will be noted that restriction was
placed upon the frequency of such three
minute emissions. The House District COM
mittee in it's favorable report on the bill at
that time said:
Careful Investigation into the operation
of the existing anti-Smoke law reveals the
necessity for such amendatory legisa ton as
is proposed in the measure we have had
under consideration. It has been conclu-
sively demonstrated that under the best
commercial conditions there must at times
be emissions of smoke from chimneys of
buildings in which power plants are operat-
ed, and 1t has also been demonstrated that
such smoke emission can, through the use
of any one of several types OF Smoke-pre-
venting and understanding devices. be
reduced to a point of insignfcance- In the
present state of the art we must reason
ably be satisfied with that diminution; it is
not right to demand the impossible Even
the suggested substitution of anthracite for
bituminous coal (Which If enacted into law
would mean financial ruin for many fndi-
viduals and corporations) would result IN
some smoke; enough, anyhow, to violate
the infiexible and unsatisfactory statute,
through the precise enforcement OF WHICH a
measure of injustice has frequently been
wrought and which stands as most CT
fectual barrier in the way of that business
DEVELOPMENT of which portions of the Dis
trict of Columbia are much in need.
Large sums of money have been and are
being spent in efforts to consume or pre-
vent smoke. yet In some instances these ell
forts have not received the recognition and
consideration which they deserve.
THAT the District Commissioners are ufl-
willing to accept the responsibilities incl
dental to the proposed law is most unlike
ly The Commissioners are vitality inter
ested in the city's welfare, and they have
wide acquaintance in the community. Their
preference will surely be for just ana
justifable statute rather than for law

citizens who are doing all in their power

the sincere efforts of citizens to comply
with law is merely equitable legislation.

81 0KE L A w Bill L
VOTED DOWN BY HOUSE DISTRICT
COMMITTEE.
Bill Passed by the House in Fifty
Seventh Congress - Other
Matters Acted On.

AT a special meeting of the House DIS
trict committee late yesterday afternoon
the bill to amend the existing smoke Jaw
was voted down. The committee stood
ten to one against the bill, which was
framed by business men of the city and
provided for three-minute emissions OF
smoke at sxty-minute intervals.
The action of the committee yesterday in
voting down the smoke bill was rather in
teresting, as a bill admittedly inferior in
every way was favorabiy reported by the
District committee and passed by the
House in the Fifty-seventh Congress. That
measure provided that the emission OF

time Mr. kenney was asked.

and ciamny feelings. and at times my
body felt AS if needles were being stuck

by terrible pains. and again would have

come over me, aud Iwould not be able TO

from headaches and "A pain in the spine.
