SAVED BY FRI GHTENED WOMAN
Fire Department Called to Resi-.
dence Where the Flames Did
Only a Nominal Damage.
Was Mt Beer Home on Fourth East

A blaze that did not amount to mu~n
from a damage point Of view. but
which came very nearly costing the life
OF little child occurred about 10
o'clock this morning at 81 Fourth Fast

OF the double frame house belonging to
the Donaldson estate, emptled guam
tity Of gasoline into tub containing
clothes which she was about to wash.
SIZE stepped outside the house for
moment. and upon returning closed the
door rather hard. The draft thus oc-
casioned caused the gasoline TO be ig.
nited by the stove, which was near by.
Instantly there was an explosion. and
the house was filled with flame.
CARRIED INTO OPEN AIR.
4 lady living next door had left her
baby in the care of Mrs. Beer, and the
little one was In the room where the
acc ident happened. Mrs. Beer seized
tn child and fed 10 the open air. After
safely deposlting the baby, although its
hnir was slnged and its face red from
the flame, the dazed woman forgot
what she had done with 1t, AND fran
tiCelly imagined that 1t was still in the
bu ming house. II was some time be-
fore she could be Gained and pacified.
DAMAGE ONLY NOMINAL.
In the meantime the fire department
had arrived upon the scene, and the
blaze was quickly under control. The

WHY JAPS ARE SMALL.
Sadazuchl Uchlda Explains Its Be-
cause of an Ancient Fashion.

New York, Feb. 26.--Custom Is re-
rponslble for the comparatively small
stature OF the Japanese race, In the
opinion of Sadazuchi Uchida, Japanese
ronsu In New York. Fashion ruled
about 800 years ago that In sitting upon
mat ones feet must be crossed be-
heath and behind the body instead OF
being crossed In front of the body, as
had been the custom for untold gen.
ordtlons.
Pictures OF our forefathers Of four
or FIVE hundred years ago" said Mr..
UcnIda last night, 'show that they
were considerably taller than my peo-
Ile are now, and invariably they are
pictured as sitting with their legs be-
meath the body, which fact Is, ] think,
more responsible for the smaller stature
OF the race than lack OF sufficient nour-
lshment or of food of a poor quality. as
Baron Takaki said In Philadelphia.
Proof Of the correctness OF this the
Dry is found In the remarkable increase
IN stature OF our young men since we
began 10 use seats In the schools in
stead OF mattlngs. IT is not at all un-
usua nowadays 10 see men 20 or 90
years old more than feet tall and
the next generation Will doubtless see
thell number greatly increased
"but cannot sec" ne added. where
any great advantage Is to be gained by
having race OF slx-footers. 1t is the
brain that counts A man six feet tall
cannot aim gun any better than one
four feet, for Instance. and now that
the day OF fighting at close range Is
practically past, l cannot see where
any advantage Is to be gained In mil
ltary strength at any rate.
That there Is a strong determination
or the part OF the Japanese to Increase
tnelr stature is beyond question. BY
returning to the use OF chairs which
We're common few hundred years ago
