BRAVE RESCUEs
AT METROPOLITAN
BUILDING FIRE
Former Judge Saved in Nick of
Time While Heroes Brave
Flames at Posts.

Work will be begun today to obliter-
ate al, trace of the $4,000 damages
wrought by the flames in the Metropol-
itan Building, at Market and Washing
ton streets. 1t is estimated that the
damage to the building alone is s10,0 0
Few of the tenants on the seven floors
escaped loss, but the Commercial Photo
Company, which occupies part of the
seventh floor and the attic, and the
Singer Company, on the ground floor,
where the fire started, were the heav-
lest losers.
The fire, spectacular in the extreme,
and witnessed by a throng attracted to
the busy corner developed several he

We're former Police Commissioner Fred
erick w. Kroeger, Charles Wilson, jani-
tor of the building, and Richard and
Joseph Conway, elevator men. Mr..
Kroeger, who is o connected with the
Newark Fire Insurance Company, en-

hurried up the stairs. He

He is 20 years old. With the assistance
of iremen Mr.. Kroegei carried the man
to the street. There Judge Anderson re-
covered consciousness and refused to go
to a hospital. Kroeger returned to the
building and helped a dozen girls to the
outer air.
Though the fire ragged in the airshaft
but a little distance from them Richard
and Joseph Conway, the elevator men,
remained at their posts n carried load
after load of passengers to the ground
floor. Charles Wilson. the custodian of
the building. remained in the building
while it was burning and assisted nan
to the outer air. After almost everyone
had been rescued his wife stood on the
top floor with three bird cages in her
hand n refused to come down until
the birds had been carried to safety.
A fireman who tool them from her
hand dropped one of the cages as he
was carrying 1t down to the sidewalk.
A. F. Marks, of Lustig & Marks, the
agents of the building. helped many of
the young women in the offices to
make their way through the dense
smoke to the outside.
Lieutenant George Hamburger, of, the
| Salvage Corps, with George Schmidt,
Walter Filter and John Soften, entered
the S. j. Singer & Sons store on the
first floor. where the fire is believed
to have had it's origin, with extinguish-
ers, and were trapped in the place. the
flames cutting off their escape by the
door. They managed finally to get out
by breaking n of the plate glass; win

Samuel F. Lever. of the firm of Lowy,
Lowenstein g. Lever, on the fifth floor,
threw out Of the windows a copy of the
Supreme Court search book and several
bags of documents. Emanuel Berger
and William Eichorn would not leave
the building, but remained during the
| fire to guard their library.

The three hats illustrated here are
entirely different from each other.
Each one is typical of one OF the three
distinct classes of millinery--the

the utility" hat. Milliners usually
distinguish these classes by the terms

BIBLE NOT ETHICAL
Thirteen Chicago University Pro-
fessors O. K. the Statement.
HoIv Book Is Neither the compen.
dIum Of Truth Nor Theology, De-
cIares an Official Editorial
In the Biblical World.

Chicago.-The divinity school Of the
University Of Chicago gave the world
another startling bit of advanced the
ology when the 13 editors OF the Bibli-
cal World put their o. X. on the state
meut that the Bible is not a compen-
dunn of ethics and never was intend
ed to be.
The argument appeared in the form
of an editorial in the magazine, OF
which Prof. Ernest Dewitt Burton. D..
D.. head of the department OF New
Testament literature and interpreta-
ton. is the editor-in-chief. The asso-
ciate editors are members of the fac
ulty, and their unanimous approval Is
necessary before an editorial goes to
the printer. Often two or three col
laborate on an article.
The editorial makes the argument
that the ethical methods Of Jesus were
ideal in that they were elastic and ad-
tusted to fit conditions as they were
found
In an interview DR.. Burton elaborat-
ed on the presentments made in the
editorial In a manner to emphasize
what many persons had read between
the lines, viz. that Sunday baseball
and other personal enjoyment Of the
Sabbath were not necessarily sinful,
in the minds of the 13 professors DR..
Burton did not mention baseball In his
discourse nor did he mention saloons,
but he left room for some very plain
inferences. AS did the editorial, he
held that the Pible was not an iron.

RUSSIAN cAFTAN MUCH LIKED
Practical Fashion Has Been Eagerly
Taken Up and Made sea-
sons Mode.

One of the newest and most practi-
cal OF fashions that are being adopted
Is the Russian caftan. coat-like gar
ment which is similar to that worn by
Tolstoy. the great Russian author, in
pictures, with which we are familiar.
The coat has a round or square
neck. slightly bloused bodice part
and straight bottom edge that ends
just above the knees. 1t is confined
at the waist line by satin belt or.
to make 1t more realistic, a silk cord
The edges of the coat are bound
with satin; for winter garment bands
of fur will be used. The fastening is
OF ornamental or perfectly plain but
tons and satin cord or braided but
tonoholes.
This style may be developed to the
extreme. but in its simpler form is
more dignified.
The style promises to be a popular
one for smart fall and winter cos.
tunes. Frocks of wooden fabric, with
blouses of net and silk and a caftan
of the material trimmed with satin in
harmonizing tone. or. what Ia safer

trary rules of conduct, but historical
record. And no less an authority than
Jesus himself was cited in support of
his position.
The Bible is not a compendium OF
truth, nor even of theology" said DR..
Burton. 1T Is record of religious
and ethical experiences rather than
the last authority and a composition
Of all theological truth, such as 1t is
held to be by most churches.
Taking the Bible at the beginning
and following 1t through, we find it
ever-changing. according to the con-
ception of the times. We cannot take
1t as a compendium and opening it
say: There is the law; there is the
truth"
Parts of the editorial read as fol-
lows:
What shall we say concerning the
commands of Jehovah in the Old Tes-
lament to exterminate the women and
children of a vanquished foe? How
shall we account for the fact that the
Old Testament heroes INDUCED in
polygamy. forbidden by our modern
laws? How can we teach total abb
stinence from a Bible which repre-
sents Jesus as partaking of wine at
feasts, and which even tells how he
miraculously produced wine from wa
ter on one occasion when the supply
fell short?"
How. for example. can Christian
gain In intelligent understanding of
the issues at stake in the modern con-
dict between capital and labor If he
simply conflne himself to a reading
of the Bible? How shall he gain de.
fensible moral convictions concerning
the ethics of child labor If he confine
his attention to literature which
never dreamed of the possibility OF
modern factories and machinery?
When one turns to the Gospels
one cannot fail to be impressed with
the way in which Jesus taught moral
ity directly from life rather than by
the methods of the scribes. He de
termined what was right in any in
stance by examining the situation 1t
self. When sickness needed to he

Scotch Oats once or twice every day
for thirty days of this month; the re-

the same thing.
Try it! Serve Quaker Scotch Oats
plentifully and frequently for the thirty
days of November. and leave off a cor
responding amount of meat and greasy
foods. You'll get more health. more
vigor and strength than you ever got
in thirty days of any other kind of

model unnecessary. 1t Is beautiful
hat for church wear. Worn with
bright. dressy gowns. 1t will serve for
a multitude of social occasions. In
fact hat of this character is very
generally useful and comes nearer to
answering all requirements, than any
other sort
In Fig. 3, tailored hat is shown
The shape is nobby and mannish and
is covered with plain taffeta silk
shirred onto the frame. This and
similar shapes are shown covered with
the moire and corded silks which are
found on all kinds OF millinery this
season. For these hats the trimming
is OF the very simplest character. It
amounts to only finish of some sort.
A band and fiat bow of velvet, kid or
ribbon. Sometimes a buckle or other
ornament is used. A simple rain
proof feather is not out of place, but
the best effects are those in which
feathers and flowers are conspicuous
by their absence. This is the hat for
the tailor-made costume for the street
and for travelling. In the estimation
of many people of excellent taste and
judgment, 1t is the sort of millinery
which should be worn at church. 1t
is smart inconspicuous and well
made, like tailored gown. Those
hats that are made of plain silk are
easier to keep from dust than the
shirred varieties. In passing 1t should
be remembered that hats must be
busted with very soft brushes or
wiped off with scrap of plush or vel
vet. Nothing is quite so good as
piece of silk plush for keeping mil
linery clean.
