BOYCOTT FIRETRAPs
Campaign Starts In Chicago to Demand
Safer Hotels.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, March 3.-Western travel
ing men have started a movement to
secure safer hotels. Members Of the
Illinois Commercial Men g association
have agreed. to constitute themselves a
body Of fire inspectors with rowing COM
missions to see that fire regulations are
observed in all hotels in which they
stop, and to "kick'' when dangerous
conditions are discovered.
The West hotel fire in Minneapolis
started this movement, and the Illinois
travelling men have already heard from
Iowa and other associations that the
campaign for safer hotels will have
the support of the travelling brother
hood everywhere. - 4.
The West hotel was of the so-called
'sslow-burning'' order, but it did not
burn slow enough to prevent the death
of eight people, six of whom were
travelling men. It is not this sort of
ttfireproof' hotel that the commercial
travellers demand. They promise their
patronage to proprietors of the steel
and fireproof-tile type of hotel. In
views of the fact that travelling men
form the largest element in hotel pros
perity, it is not unlikely that their cam.
paign will be the beginning of an era
of ireproof building, such as no other
agency has been able to-. bring about.

WHEN YOUR PIPE BITES
Not the Tobacco's Fault, But the

tsYou see smoking tobacco advertised
every now and again, guaranteed not to
bite the tongue. Dealers sell it, of
course, but inwardly they smile at the
idea So spoke a tobacconist.
t't5You see,sit Is this way. The fire in
the pipe will bite the tongue, if the to-
bacco burns too fast namely, if it is
a very loose long cut tobacco, or a very
dry shortcut, and not packed closely
enough in the bowl. There is a point
where tobacco may be too closely
packed to draw, and q point where it
lis so loosely packed that it burns fast,
and minute sparks pass thru the stem
and reach the smoker $ mouth. These
are the cause Of burnt tongues. -
