the ground, and imagine the courage
required to make ourselves take such a
leap or to try to force little children to
do So It will be remembered that in the
Montreal fire the 16 little children who
persisted were on the top floor. Our lit
tie ones of the fourth and fifth grades are
also on the top floor of the north build
ing. One teacher has nearly 70 pupils
registered, and there are no means of
escape except down the front stairs.
Why in the name of reason are the lit
tie ones ever put on the top floor?
In regard to the value of fire drill it is
interesting to note the reports of the
teachers in the Montreal school and also
the opinion of an observing citizen, the
Rev. Henry Jekyll, who was present at the
FIRE and assisted in rescuing the teachers
and pupils. AS soon as the alarm was
sounded, the fire drill was formed and
the children on the first floor (the larger
oues) all passed out safely. teacher on
the second floor said: AS soon as |
heard the alarm, l hurriedly arranged the
children according to the regular fire drill
and started them down the stairs, but
the smoke was so dense and suffocating
that most of them turned back" These
children were passed out of the window
by their teacher and were carried down
the ladder by citizens who assisted the
6remen. The kindergarten teacher, also
on the second floor, said that as soon as
she realized that there was a fire.
she told the little ones to follow her, and
she led them out to the staircase, but at
ter going down couple of stairs they
were forced back by smoke. She got the
children, who were clinging to her in ut
ter confusion, back into the classroom
and shut the door to keep out the smoke.
She then gathered them near window
and smashed out the glass with her hands,
to give them air. 1t was from this room
that the principal, Miss Maxwell, passed
about 20 children out of the window to
the fremen, who on their ladders, formed
living fire escape. Miss Maxwell was
then overcome by the smoke and persisted
with the 16 little ones that could not be
saved.
DR.. Jeky11 said: "a fire drill, no mat
ter how well conducted, could not have
saved the children on the second floor
when there was no way for them to go
down except by the inside stairways. 1t
is in connection with an outside fire es-
cape that system of quietly marching
out is feasible"
Our statutes require that fire drill
shall be held once in each month during
the time school is in session. Do we
comply with this regulation? Is our
school alarm an efficient one? Should
the same bell which announces recess be
used to call fire drill? Should we not
have regular FIRE alarm box in the
school buildings that no time may be
lost in case of need?
Mr.. Steele has most aptly written:
Bearing in mind that no community,
however protected. can be called abso-
lutely free from danger by fire, we should
compare our condition with conditions
elsewhere and profit by the experience of
others as well as by our own. fit is
worth while to have any fire protection,
it is worth while to have the BEST

Must Act Soon TO Get Fish for Caledonia
County Waters.
The rapid increase in membership OF
the Forest and Stream Club indicates an
interest in its objects; however, each
individual member must bear in mind
that to make the association effective he
must personally do his part. A large
number of fish application blanks have
been distributed but President Titcomb
reports that only a few have been re-
turned. 1t should be borne in mind by
the various members that while it is
very desirable to have volunteers who
will meet and plant the fish one of the
features of the club is to see that fish are
distributed and planted wherever suit
able waters exist for them, therefore
members who have application blanks
should fill them out, describing the
waters in which they are most interested
and if it is inconvenient for them to
meet the fish leave that to the officers of
the club to arrange.
Additional application blanks may be
obtained by addressing either the presi-
dent or secretary of the club and blanks
so filled out should be returned to either
one of these officers.
A letter from United States Senator
Page states that Commissioner Bowers
says he will do to the extent of his ability
in the way of furnishing fish.
Send your applications in-delay is
dangerous. The pike will be ready for
distribution within few days, then the
bass will follow and later will come the
trout.

rudeness it fell to his lot to take Nine

Bic BALL FOR
NEXT SUMMER
Waseda University and Santa
Clara May Be Brought
Here for Games.

y series Of baseball games among
Santa Clara, Waseda University and
various local teams may be arranged for
the JOY Of the fans. the series 10 come
off next summer. ". ". Harris is in
communication with p. \. McHeury Of
the Santa Clara team in reference to
bringing the outsiders together in Ho-
noIuIu and hopes to hear definitely be
fore long.
The Japanese team viii 90 to the
mainland soon to play a series Of
games there, and it is hoped that they
can be induced to stop off here to meet
the local teams and the Santa Clara
team. W. W. Harris hopes that they
can be iduced to stop off for at least
three weeks. The Santa Clara boys
get their vacation in July and if they
can be brought here, they should add
considerably to the JOY of nations.
1t is figured that one frst-cIass team
can be picked from the Oahu league
aud another from the Honolulu league
to meet the outsiders. 4 series such
as is proposed should be something to
make the fans sit up and take notice.

TIE JEWELS AND
JAPANESE TEAM

Considerable enthusiasm Is shown in
the JeweI-J. A. G.. series Of has ,ball
games to begin on Sunday next. and it
appears certain that some close and ex
citing games viii be played before the
deciding third game IS won.
The Japanese of the city have great
faith in the prowess OF their team. and,
though there be but one player of
Japanese paren5age on this team. still
the Japanese fans support and root for
the team just the same as if they were
all sons Of Nippon.
Both teams have now been picked
and it i, a difficult matter to see just
what club will bring their opponents
into camp. No better team general can
be found in the city than Eddie Fer
nandez, and he has demonstrated time
and again what he could do with his
team. Jack Motley. who again leads
the Japanese forces, needs no introduc
ton to the Oahu League fans. 1t will
he remembered that through his cIeal
headWork last season he managed tC
bring up the J. \. C. from third place
to the top Of the list. Always on the
alert for any weakness ON the part OF
his rivals, he manages to enthuse into
his players the necessity of attack at
the proper time, and such tactics have
always won for his team.

The Color of Wafer.

The waters of the seas, lakes. riv-
ers. and streams in general are very
often colored. For instance, the water
OF the Mediterranean Sea is not col
oriess. but green-blue; also there is
a brilliant red river in South America.
The st. Lawrence, in Canada. is pale
green, and the Ottawa golden brown
where these two rivers meet quite
frequently whole broad patches re-
main unmixed. Here is a gold patch
and there a green one Otherwise
than this, water rejects the colors
OF the surroundings. and a so-called
emerald pool" in the White Noun
tains. is green because the birches on
its borders in early summer are brill
liant green. The Blue Grotto. in Ca
pri, Italy. shows a remarkably rich
color. near to blue-green. because all
the light received in that grotto comes
through the water at its entrance. and.
as | said, the Mediterranean is green
blue. The water of the geysers in
the Yellowstone Park are also colored
by natural mineral dyes. You can
dye your own glass of water by a
piece of the bloodroot plant. Try it.
That Will be a vegetable dye.-St

SAD PLIGHT
OF ENGLAND
Liberal Victory Means More Sliding
Down Hill of Free Trade.

England is in a bad way. She has
not recovered from the recent finan-
cial depression that, staring the United
states, swept over the entire progress
size world. Germany has a low per-
centage of unemployed labor France
has shaken off the depression very
largely. The United States has made
gigantic strides toward full time and
prosperous era. The countries
where protection guards the mills and
factories have begun to look upon
the panic as a thing of the past. as
a mere speck on the financial map.
But not so in England. That free
trade country continues TO collect
broad and food to dole out to its starv-
ing. Said the Daily Mail recently:
Capital is taking flight In immense
sums, unemployment prevails to
grievous extent, 1000 900 of our pop
ulation are paupers, and 600 900 of
our aged people are so miserably poor
that they have to be supported by
State pensions. If the empire is to
he saved tariff reform alone can save
it"
That is the situation, briefly, but
pointedly put. Unemployment in Eng
land has reached stupendous figures,
and there is no hope whatever. under
present policies, that this condition
will be bettered.
For England is the country Of the
dumped goods" Every manufactur-
ing nation finding a surplus of manu-
featured goods on hand dumps" it
upon England, with the result that
these cheap goods, sold below the
home prices, and sometimes at a loss.
close the British mills and factories.
and send the locked-out workmen to
the soup kitchen and the food tents.
Tbs first returns indicate the prob
ability tnat Premier AsQuith and Chan
cellor LORD George will be able to
maintain control. Should this prove
to be the fact, capital will continue to
take fight" and America and Ger
many will continue to find a market
for overproduction, and to wax fat
at the expense of England. The new
ministry will experiment with more
scholastic laws. will endeavor to meet
starvation by contributions from the
public purse, will pile on taxes. al
:eady heavy, to the breaking point
And to what end? Not another mill
will be opened Not another unem-
llOyed labOrer will be put to work.
rom a selfish point of view America
Ill be content with liberal victory.
,o1 we are entirely willing to continue
70 furnish Great Britain with the over
plus of our factory and field. But
from the broad point of view that Sc
rious disturbance in England would
necessarily have its effect the world
over, liberal victory is to be de
plored, for a blind insistence upon
free trade, with its steady advance
ment toward socialism, can mean moth
ing else but the downfall of once great

Must Britain wait until she is driven
to the very verge of starvation before
she learns her lesson? If so. il may
be too late for full recovery.-Phila-

The Waste of Wnt0-

The engineer who has been brought
from Cleveland to assist the water
commissioner OF New York in solving
the problem or waste regards this as
really the one problem OF the water
service. He believes that As per cent
OF the water supplied to Manhattan
and the Bronx is wasted, and that if
the waste were checked the new acme
duct from the Catskills would not no
needed. The average daily supply in
New York is 135 gallons for each In
haoltant. If 40 per cent of this be
waste, it follows that IS gallons peT
capita would be sufficient. London
uses only SO gallons, but American
cities cannot get down TO the London
standard. In Philadelphia the water
supplied last year averaged 21O gal
ions per capita daily, and most of
this was filtered. While PhiJadeI-
phians doubtless use more water than
the inhabitants of any other CITY.
there cannot be any doubt that an
enormous proportion of this is sheer
waste, either in the service or nv mis-
use.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.
