PHILANTHRC PIsTS WHO WILL
BE KEPT BUSY.

OF course Patten, the plunger, is a
philanthropist. He not only says so
himself, but others say so. He has
given a large s=m of money to West
ern school, for the purpose, perhaps, of
endowing a chair of cornering mar
kets. Let any man come forward with
money in his hand, and though he
NAV call himself an archangel some
people will believe him.
But it is necessary first of all, for
the man who would be a great bene-
factor of mankind TO have unlimited
stock in himself. He must be able to
give and take large quantities of fudge.
Hence we are asked to swallow the
proclamation that the cornering OF the
wheat market and the consequent
grinding of the poor is a fine specimen
of business sagacity and patriotic en-
deavor. Experience teaches that wheat
will suffer from a reaction when the
corner has been lifted off the market
nevertheless the peerless plunger and
his eloquent followers have the brass TO
claim that there is a serious shortage
in the wheat supply and that they are
merely taking advantage Of the Op-
portunity to conserve an important
commodity. Oh, yes, the poor viii
suffer here and there; but think of
all the money the corner artists will
be able to give TO collegesl
It's fine business Eventually the
humanitarians which it breeds will es-
tablish a model almshouse, with sun
parlors and open plumbing, in every
needy community in the country.

is duly charged against the State of
Maryland Also it would have repaid
the Sun TO note that this and other
countries have developed as a well es-
tablished practice the sending of special
missions for special purposes to coun-
tries where there are permanent diplO-
matte stations. Thus we have only
lately sent a special commission to
Venezuela, although we have now, had
then, and expect to have through sue
ceeding issues of The Sun, a minister
resident in whom this country has full
confidence.
Special commissions are not all junk
cts. There have been too many that
were; but they are not all so. A
minister resident might only too easily
be embarrassed by submitting a report
adverse to conditions under the govern
ment to which he is accre lifted. Again,
he may have lost his perspective
through long sojourning there. Again,
three heads are better than one. Finally,
the appointment of this commission to
Liberia is directly along the lines rec
commended by The Sun--to learn from
residents of the country.
This newspaper has no special inter
est in the commission which is to re-
port upon conditions in Liberia. But
it has a special interest in that stand
still, bankrupt, utter failure of set
tlement begun by Americans and al
lowed by America to fabergast itself.
We may not be able to help. We GER
tainly do not care to repeat in Liberia
our experience in Cuba. But we owe it
to ourselves-without regard as to ow-
ing it to the world-to find out if we
can. what's the matter and see if it
can't be mended.

FIRE
PUT OUT BY FOAM

All you need to do in order to ex-
ting5Iish a petroleum or gasolene fire
is to put foam on it This simple rem
edy for a class Of flames taat has
banled firemen for years comes in
report from Consul Thomas NJ. Norton,
OF Chemnitz. Germany.
The use OF water has only served to
spread such fires, and, as a rule, the
fremen have been obliged TO stand by
helplessiy until the flames exhausted
themselves from lack Of fuel In
very few cases the use Of steam has
been effective, but usually an oil fire
burns itself out.
Now Il appears that the Germans have
perfected a scheme Sor killing oil fires
with foam The apparatus employed
consists Of simple metal cylinder pro-
vided with a long spout and divided
into two chambers. One chamber is
charged with an aqueous solution Of
potash-alum and sOdiUnI sulphate, the
other with a similar solution of sodium
bi- carbonate, sodium sulphate, and lie
oTice-roOt eXtraSt.
The cylindef Is so arranged that on
being reVeI sed the -wo solutions minglc
as they issue from the spout The re-
suit is a prompt evolution of carbon
dioxide, which. in contact with the lie
orice solution, forms an exceedingly
slim and persistent foam.
Heads Of fire departments have test
ed this scheme and pronounced the foam
fire eXtinguisher a success. They say
IL will prove especially valuable In all
places where combustible liquids are
stored, such as groceries, drug stores,
automobile garages. and motor yachts.

HEN STILL LEADER
AS CHICKEN RAISER

The incubator has not proven a pro-
noUnced success in the Matching Of
chicks, according to the results Of an
extended series Of experiments carried
on by the Department of Agriculture
At the Oregon station it was demon
strated that, Notwithstanding the fact
that hens sometimes break eggs and
that they sometimes quit their jobs and
go off to women's club eetings-things
the incubator is never guilty of-still
the hen is a better bEOOder than the
incubator. The incubators used hatch
ed 7S.5 per cent Of eggs, and the hens
9G.5 per cent.
But the most vital point is that the
chicks hatched out under mems weighed
heavier than those Matched in inCubat-
ors. The mortality of hen-hatched
chicks was but los per cent, while the
mortality of incubator chicks was 3&5
per cent. Hen-hatched chicks made a
greater gain in weight than incubator
hatched chicks whether brooded by hens
or broOders. All experiments showed
that the hen-hu ched chick is strcager
and better tEs.. tae other.

AN AUTHORS BUTLER SOLVES
A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

According to floating literary gos-
sip. the title of book recently pub
lished, and without expense to the
author, was suggested by the au-
thor's butler. There had been much
discussion and uncertainty over the
name, and it was discussed freely at
table. Finally the butler told the au-
thor's secretary that he had title
which he thought would fit. He told
the secretary what he had in mind,
the secretary told the author, and the
author and publisher accepted the
suggestion with enthusiasm.
Not every author can find title for
his book in such a manner. Few pro-
fessiOnal authors, we regret to say,
are able to employ secretaries, to say
nothing of buffers. Authors that we
have known, with a few notable ex-
ceptions, eat hurriedly and employ
plain "help," if they employ anybody.
And the young woman who is not
only cook, Lut ehambermaid and
laundress, rarely has time to listen to
literary discussions or help solve lit
erary problems while the family is
eating.
There are authors, having buffers
and other servants, who ought to
take a lesson from the experience of
the gentlemanly author referred 10.
Indeed, they might go step farther.
In some instances that we could men
ton, but won't, there would have
been a distinct improvement if the
butler or the valet had been permitted
not only to suggest the title but also
TO write the books.
