SOME ADVICE ON FIRES.

Ones ability to eXtinguish n start
ing fire or to escape if caught in a
burning building depends upon the
intelligence and self-control.
If the blaze is just starting throw
water on the material that is burn
ing-not at the blaze. One bucket
of water will do more good thrown on
by handfulls, or with a broom, than
dashed at once.
A small fire may be smothered with
a rug or blanket, or beaten u with
a wet broom.
If you can't put out the starting
fire in a minute, yell fire and then,
if in a city call for the department.
Everyone in the house should know
the telephone number to be used in
getting the firemen, and it should be
on the wall by the telephone for
strangers to use. There is no time
for looking in the directory, even if
one should not be too nervous to
find a number. Everyone should
know where the nearest fire alarm
box is, and how to use it.
But do not leave a door open when
you run out to give the alarm. II
the doors and windows are closed,
when a fire starts, II can always
get the firemen there in time to put
it out while it is in only one Don
The fire soon uses all the oxygen in
a closed room and may die II if it
gets no fresh ali
After the firemen are called, work
at getting out the things that you
want to save. Don't throw the clock
from the window and then carry out
done.
If awakened in the night by the
smell of fire don't dress. Wrap your
self in a blanket or quilt from the bed
and get out the quickest way you a IN.
After calling help look in and see
where and what is the danger. You
can then tell if it is best to carry
out the household goods. If the fire
is on the first floor, it is very danger
Gus to go above, because the heat
and choking smoke go up.
One can often get out through a
hall filled with smoke by going on
his hands and knees, when he would
fall choking if he ran. The smoke
is thickest at the ceiling. Holding a
wet towel. or anything made of fan
mel, or ever a coat collar, over the
mouth, greatly lessons the danger OF
injury to the lungs, or death from the
carbonic gas in the smoke.
Most fires start in the first floor

or basement Of the building and burn
a hole up through the roof. In a
house the flames travel by the stair
ways. III a big store or hotel they go
quickly up the elevator shaft. After
reaching the top the fire spreads and
goes slowly down, burning the wood
that is left.
II a mar working in a big store

should turn in the alarm, if there is
n in the building: try to put it out
with water in a pail nearby: then

If one is in a burning building with
no fire escapes and the stairway be-
low is burning, or the hall is filled
with smoke, he should shut the door
and transom and keep out the dead
ly gases. Then he should throw open
the window and get cool air and let
the neighhors and firemen see where
he is, so that they may bring a lad
der to the window. One should wait
at the window until he is scorched or
choking. BY that time the firemen
will be holding a big hoop covered with
canvas in which they will catch him
when he jumps, or the neighbors will
hold a blanket to catch him. If no
one is near he should throw out the
bedding. tick and all and jump on
that. 1t is safer to jump into the top
of the tree than to the ground.

NEW STANDARDS IN FEDERAL
OFFICE.

In Mr.. R~Oosevelt'S period a remark
ably large number of men Of high
character and exceptional attain
ments have been brought into sub
ordinate public positions. Naturally
some OF these, especially those hold
ing the rank of assistant secretaries,
will have made place for new men.
But the standard of efficiency and
zeal that has been fixed will undoubt-
edly be maintained, and the remarkable
development of the scientific services
of the c~Oyerndent under scholars and
experts will find in Mr.. Taft the
same support and encouragement it
had in Mr.. Roosevelt. The agricul-
tural department, for example, is full
of brilliant scientific experts who have
made the work Of that department
the wonder and envy of the whole
world. A similar evolution has been
brought about in other departments
and branches of the government work
and, for the most part, the efficient
scientific personnel of these public
services will not be changed with the
incoming of a new president. The
president and the cabinet chiefs alike
must depend for the most part upon
the experienced and brilliant work
ers in subordinate places for the re-
suits that will reflect lasting credit
upon the new men at the top. In
SCme of the bureaus and branches of
the government service, the process
CT modernization is as yet far from
complete, and thus Mr.. Ballinger and
others will be under the painful nee
esSity Of trying to introduce new men
and new ways where old men and
old ways obstruCt the public business.
If the government has arranged a
system of pensions or retiring allow
ances for public servants who have
outliyed their usefulness, the process
of putting efficiency into every de
tail Of the public business would not
involve so many disagreeable Incl
dents.-From The Progress of the
World in the American Review of
Reviews for April.

a youth was whipped in the school
for writing a composition and while

king Solomon was a mar who lived

was an awful wise man and one day
two women came to him, each holding
to the leg of a baby and nearly pull
ing X in two and both claiming it.
And Solomon wasn't feeling COON and
he said: Why couldn't the brat have
been twins and stopped all this both
or. And he called for his sword and
was going to chop the little baby in
two and give each one a piece of it.
when the real mother of the kid said:
Stop Solomon, stay thy hand. Let
the old bag have it. If l can't have
a whole baby I don't want to have
any Then King Solomon told her
to take the baby and go home, and
wash its face for he knew 1t was
hers. He told the other women to go
chase herself. King Solomon built
Solomon's temple and vas the faith

SOLDIERS FOOTBALL At
END FOR 1909 SEASON
Defeat by Aggies Big Disappointment
Plan Active Year on GridirOn
and Diamond.

The football season for the Fort Doug
las eleven ended with the Agricultural
college game at Logan Nov. s. While at
first a longer schedule was planned, the
defeats received at the hands of the uni
versity and the Aggies, the latter shut
ting off hope for a return game with the
university, took most of the enthusiasm
out of the men. Another reason for call
funds to longer continue the training ia
bic and take care of the other expenses
of the team.
Although defeated in the two games
played, the soldiers are deserving Of much
credit for the earnest work put in IN
preparation for the contests. The rotten
weather conditions for the university
game robbed the local football public OF
one of the best games Of the year, as
well as being disappointment to both
elevens
The soldiers played a plucky and hard
game of ball and the three officers that
helped whip material. INEXPERIENCED fol

Many Penalties.

Ithaca, n. Y, Nov. 1S.-Cornell and
Chicago tied again in todays football
game by the same score as last year, 6
to 6. Neither side was sure at critical
points, and heavy penalties lost Cornell
two chances of scoring, while twice, with
touchdown in sight, her right guard,
O'ConnOr, was instructed to try goals
from the field Twice also Chicago held
pluckily for downs in dangerous terri
tory.
In the first half Chicago took the ball
on Cornells 53-yaTd line and pulled off
the feature pass of the game.
Page, at quarter, hurled the ball to
Sauer, at left end. who ran to Cornell s

LOGAN AGGIES EXPECT
TO PLAY UTAH EVEN
Hard Work in Practice Has Made
the Eleven One to Be Feared
by University.

Logan, Nov. 13.-The great improve
ment shown by the Utah Agricultural col
lege IN the game with the Soldiers last
Saturday has been a big boost to foot
ball at the college. The largest squad
of the season was out in uniform last
week and the men have been given hard
scrimmage work despite the bad weather.
The men have developed a true foot
ball spirit and are going through their
plays with a dash and vim hitherto I'M
known at the college.
The return of Captain Paddock will
greatly strengthen the team. which Is con-
tinually being drilled on a defense for
the strong forward passes of the Uni
veTsity of Utah.
If the Aggies make a Creditable show
ing against Montana next week, and
come out of the game with all of their
men in good condition. they ought to
play the University to standstill on
Thanksgiving day.
People who have watched the team de-
velop this year say the improvement
shown has beer marvellous, and they pre-
dict that the Thanksgiving game will be
the greatest game ever played between
the two Utah schools.

DENVER UNIVERSITY IS
DEFEATED BY HASKELL

Denver, Nov. 19.-The Haskil Indians
of Lawrence, Kan, defeated Denver
university this afternoon by a score of
to 3. The Indians pounded through
the heavy line of their opponents for
consistent gains throughout the game
and outclassed the Denver team in
handling punts and forward passes.
Six inches of snow yesterday made
the gridiron treacherous, although
many wagOnloads of sawdust had been
spTinkled over the field. The Indians
averaged considerably less than their
opponents, who had gone through the
season without a defeat and were con-
fident of winning.
