The Burnt Offering.

The latest issue of Golfers has some
figures showing in impressive fashion
the needless waste of property by fire
in this country yearly and the slow
progress Of the movement for construc-
ton that is really fireproof. Now that
the world has had two historic con-
fiagrations within four months the peo-
pie of this country may be in a humor
to take serious thought of the means
of checking the appalling waste that
goes on every year through our policy
of fiimsy construction. The Internal
tional Society of Building Commission
ers and Inspectors calls attention to the
fact that we have in the United States
eleven and half million buildings,
valued at fourteen billion five hundred
million dollars. or more than all the
railroads in the country put together,

from The clerks returns. and may

The Sandstone in Septenber.

Dim dusk on the sea where Il star shines
over.
The night steals across tho sand
Purply breeding the shadows hover
And by the headland a white sail rover
Skins on to the darkening land.
Far in the west still the hue is glowing
OF "a sunsets crimson death,
The troubled tide DER the bar is flowing
And vibrant winds are coming and going
With the salt foam in their breath.
Slow from the eastward a fog is creep
ing.
Spectral and chill and white.
Soon it will wrap the wide sea sleeping
And the sandstone, given Ger to it's keep
ing.
Will dream and CLEAN through the
night.
Why need we linger when DER the mead
OwS
The glow of our homefight shines?
Dear, let us leave the Sandstone to its
shadows
And hand in hand go across the meadows
TO that love-star in the pines.

is absolutely fireproof. That one was
built in Chicago by the great insurance
companies for testing laboratory.
There are only four thousand buildings
about one in three thousand-that are
even nominally fireproof, and these can
be damaged in conf1agration to the
extent of from thirty to ninety per cent.
of their value. Yet the unburnable Un-
derwriters' Laboratory in Chicago, with
its walls Of vitrified brick, floors. rock.
and partitions of semi-porous, hollow
terra-cotta, door and window openings
framed in rolled steel, window frames
and sashes of sheet metal, doors of
filled copper and steel, and stairs of hol-
low terra-cotta, cost only twelve per
cent. more than a building that would
shrivel up at the first breath of an ad-
vancing fire.
In 1908, which was normal year."
we spent 100000, 900 for new buildings
and burned old ones to the value of
$500, 100000. We paid $500. OO0, 900 for
fighting fire and $195, 100000 in fire
insurance premiums. of which we
got back s95,0OO,COO from the COM
panies in payment for losses. Hence
even if we do not count that last $685.
600, 900 as a deduction from the wealth
of the community, which, of course,
it was, it cost us more to burn Fart of
our old buildings and protect the rest
from burning than it did to put up all
our new ones. And that was in nor
NAL year. This year is not normal. This
year San Francisco has raised the fire
losses of the United States to five hun
bred million dollars, even if we do not
let another city burn down between
now and next January. If we should
burn up the whole of our bonanza
wheat crop. on which we are relying to
give us prosperity, We should think the
country had suffered 4 calamity; yet it
is doubtful whether that whole crop
would ray for the property we actually
have burned and are burning this year.
Our entire years gold supply would not
pay for a sixth Of it. The entire gold
production of the world would rot come
anywhere near paying for it all.
The $500, 900. 900 worth of buildings
which we put up in Il year to burn
down would cost about $3.50 ,0O0,O 900 if
they were built not to burn down. Fer
the extra $50. 1000 we could save most
of the $500. 100000 we pay in normal
years for fires and fire protection. In
other words, we should have the equiv
alent of another wheat or cotton crop
added every year to the national
wealth. The Society of Building COM
misSioners and Inspectors thinks that
this subject is worth the attention of
our lawmakers and underwriters. 1t
has proposed a uniform law, to be in
troduced into the Legislature of every
state, making stricter requirements for
building; it urges that Insurance rates
upon fire-;raps should be prohibitive,
and it suggests that instead of filming
builders in increased taxes when they
lighter Gil solid buildings and heavier
on those that are most dangerous to
the community and most burlcnsome
in their demands for fire protection.

All the night long shrills and shrills
In the Moon of Goldenrod.
In the Moon of Godenrod.
Orchard branches, laden all,
DroOp to touch the orchard grass,
And the harvest winds that pass
Pluck the fruits that mellow there,
Purple plum and yellow pear,
Fling them to the lap of Fall.
In the Moon of Goldenrod.
In the Moon of Goldenrod,
Palely blue the aSterS blow:

Weaken to their overthrow

September,

There are days of late September
When the outdoors calls loud. my lad;
When the Giutumn's burning emb,rs
Make the heart of mortal glad.
Through these days of frcsher weather,
How their glory stimulates,
How it brings all souls together
Burles sordd strifes and hates,
Vain are cures and useless yearning
When with fruitage earth is rich.
Come while Sumach's torch is burning,
While life strikes it's highest pitch.

Heart with every heart is fellow

September Verse.
September is Here.

A whisper signs over the field.
Where all through the summer have
reClcd
The hosts of the honey drunk bees;
The clover mods time to the song,
The cricket chants steadily clear,
The twilight Is droWsiy long
September, September is here.
The grapes turn to purple ard red
And fling to the breeze as they hang
And fill all the air with their tang.
The apples grow crimson and gold
Each cleaning and wonderful sphere
Has June's ruddy joys in its hold
September. September is here.
And far in the gray of the morn
An army stands forth in review.
The plume-bcaring ranks Of the corn
Stand sturdy and steady and true;
Its banners haunt ont IN the wind,
Its sabers now clash on the ear.
The foes of the summer behind
September. September is here.
And over the hill comes a haze
That crcepS to the forest to claim
The leaves that shall soon be ablaZe
With all of the :tutumn's live flame.
And so in the glimmer of dusk
A whisper. n whisper we hear
That floats on the mint and the musk;
September, September is here"
