THE CITY OF DREAD"

can you think what would happen If
seine one could control the sound waves
and produce absolute silence in a great
city like New York? In the November
issue of the Popular Magazine Stewart
Edward White tells of an inventor who
was not only able to produce a fail
ure of sound, but a failure of light
and a failure of electricity as well,
Here is what followed:
THE subWays were practically de-
serted; the theatres empty; the accus-
toned careless life of the great white
way thinned; the streams Of life slack
ened. Furthermore, the intelligent
criminal Immediately discovered that
ideal shields were peing provided him
gratis behind which to conduct his
crimes. In the silence a man could
blow out the side Of a bank building
with impunity. provided only he kept
out of sight. In the darkness he could
pilfer at will, with only the proviso
! that he forgot not his gum shoes.
ITO meet unusual conditions the peo-
pie individually and collectively rose
to heights Of forgotten ingenuity. The
physical life of a city is so well es-
tablished that the average city dweller
grows out of the pioneer virtue OF
a~daptability. Now once more these
people were forced to meet new and
untried conditions, to guard against
new dangers, new opposing forces. lr
an incredibly short space Of time they
grew out Of aimless panic. They
learned TO sit tight. to guard adequate
~ their lives, their treasure, and ever
to a certain extent their thine against

who'll Pay the Fiddler .

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
What's this, a newspaper joke about
the Board of Education fayoring dane
ing classes for our little ones as part
of the education we pay for? In good
ness name what is to be poked into
them next? Are the dances to be
taught, waltzes, Squares" two-steps
or the very latest from Newport or
Saratoga? How about a Virginia reel,
an Irish jig or a Highland fling. or
maybe a touch of the once famous
hoochee-coochee would be a pretty les
son for the young ones.
Dear educators, dear in more sense
than one, why not have a class for
pool and billiard players? And wouldn't
classes in poker and pinochle be popu-
lar? After the little ones have de-
voured these pastimes, provided the
day could be heightened by SO per cent,
they could be taught the art of avia-
ton, high diving and tumbling. While
motorboats could be run on the beautl-
full Passaic river for their benefit as
an aid to teaching nautical science.
And while we are about it, and they
have a few moments to spare, let us
suggest the tremendous possibility Of
using them in the study of the gentle
art of high finance. HIRE RS.

Giving Away Millions.

To thei Editor of the Evening Star:
I read in your valuable paper that
Andrew Carnegie has given to the city
of Ptttsburg, Pa, 2 500, 900 more, maxi
ing a total of So. $780, 900, to extend his
technical school system there, and that
Mrs. Sage. widow of Russell Sage, the
Wall Street multi-millionaire, has set
aside 50, 800, 900 to build homes for fami-
lies or workingmen near Jamaica, l.. l.
Mr.. Carnegie was a poor peasant boy
in Scotland and after he came to this
country worked for 81 a day as a
laboTer in a Pittsburg steel plant.
Through attention to his duties and
TO Study at night he became a foreman,
then superintendent. and next partner
with u brother in the manufacture OF
steel.l When the American Steel Com
pany,l better known as the Steel Trust,
was organized, Carnegie got millions OF
interest paying gold bonds of the con-
Germ and retired from active business.
Then he began giving away his mil
lions to establish public libraries in
this country and Great Britain, and to
this work he has added the foundation
of technical school for young men and
women.
Mr.. Sage was a country boy. son OF
a farmer. In early manhood he went
to New York city. where he became a
money lender, finally a stock broker,
accumulated millions of dollars, and
when he died left the millions to his
widow to dispose of as she deemed
best. She has given a great deal OF
money to help workingmen and young
women. Mrs. Sage has started another
practical work for poor people. Every
buyer of ona Of the cottages she will
have built, with one acre of land to
each house, is to pay for the property
by installments OF $25 a month.
I hope, Mr.. Editor. hat readers OF
end contributors to the Rostrum
columns of the Evening STAR will
write you their opinions on the disposal
of their millions by Mr.. Carnegie ana
Mrs. Sage. as to which is giving the
most practical benefit. In my judgment
Mr.. Carnegie's school will not be the
great benefit he hoped II he does not
stipulate that the "fads' that have
been injected into the public school
systems in this country must be elimi-
natad from his schools. M"

Fire Drills in Factories.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
In the public day schools of this city
a lre-drill system is in vogue which /
think is very efficient. The signal is
given for the drill by ringing a bell.
The pupils Immediately rise from their
seats and form in lines near the doors.
At a signal from the teacher they pro-
coed to the wardrobe, and after getting
their coats and hats march down the
stairs in double-file. One class follows
another in order, until every person is
out of the building. In schools having
an attendance of about 1000 pupils a
fire-drill is completed in from two to
three minutes. I think it would be Z,
good idea for the factories in this city
to adopt a similar system and thus
eliminate the possibility of a catas-
trophe such as hat which occurred on
last Saturday. PUPIL.

A WEIGHTS AND MEASURES DEPARTMENT

IT T is proposed that a new department to be placed under the
jurisdiction of the State Board of Health shall be created TO
administer the law in regard to weights and measures. fhe
reason given for placing the department under the State Health
Board is that it would be more economical than a separate depart
ment with a separate force of inspectors. \ legislative bill OF the
lines proposed is being prepared by the assistant secretary OF state
The State Board of Health has comprehensive duties, and they are
not as fully discharged as they ought TO be. That goes without
saving. The annual reports of the board are always about a year
behind. and therefore the data they contain is out of date and
practically worthless. The pure food law is not enforced III this
State as it ought to be, and its enforcement belongs to the State
Board of Health. Nor is much attention given to sanitation. Legs
lation to make this department of the State government more eff
fective is needed. If a department of weights and measures IS added
TO the authority of the State Board of Health the result is likely
to be paralysis. There should be no question of economy in the
matter of establishing an adequate State authority TO see that the
laws and ordinances of the State are properly enforced to protect
the people from the trade frauds and swindIes that cost them mil
lions of dollars a year. The department to be created should be
entirely unhampered and under a single head, well salared, and
have a sufficient office force TO work with.

the concert. AS the charge for admis-
sion is so cents and for a reserved seat
only 81, many people who could not
afford to pay So and $3.50 for a ticket
to concerts she has given in Newark
will be able to hear her sing. And
she will give four of her favorite num-
bers. Others who have volunteered
their services for the oncert are bright
stars in the vocal and instrumental
world. The program presented in the
STAR is an excellent one. The people
of Newark and vicinity will show in a
practical way their appreciation of the
great work lone by Encouragement of

sufferers by the awful fire. No paper
in New Jersey ever did such work for
afflicted poor working people.

Newark's Educational Facilities.

vertising Newark. so that 1t would In

business. II we want to get the proper
kind of people here would it not be
we'll to talk about the educational ia
ci1ities? There are few cities in this
country of the size of Newark that
have as many educational advantages.
Our public schools are among h best
in the country and the private schools,
of which there are a large number also
enjoy a good reputation. Besides the
public and private day schools we
have evening schools that are we'll at

FIRE DRILLS IN THE SCHOOLS.

rT1 CCORDING to City Superintendent Poland fire drills are
IN regularly held in the public schools of the city, the require
ment being that there shall be at least four each month.
Principals must show in their monthly reports that the drills have
been held. The superintendent is now sending out an order for
fire drills in the evening schools, with Investigation of the conditions
in the school buildings and means of exit in case of fire. Obviously,
fire precautions are as necessary for the evening schools as for the
day schools. The fire drill is brief, and therefore does not take
much time from school work. The idea of the drill is to habituate
he children to discipline, so that when a fire actually occurs the
children shall, from force of habit, take their places and march
quietly out under the direction of their teachers. The occasional
drill does not fully impress this habit upon the children. Some
thing more is also required. Every school building in this city
should be in it's construction and equipment as safe in case of fire
as human foresight can provide.

CIVIL DAMAGES FOR FIPE-TRAP OWNERS

IT F the law made the owner of the burned factory building or
tenement house civilly liable for damages in cases of death or
serious injury occasiOned by the neglect of the owner to pro
vide proper safeguards against fire, the moral effect of the law
would he such as to do away with much of the necessity for State
inspection. The property itself, or what was left of it. could be
seized, with other property belonging to the owner, and the proceeds
from it's sale be converted into a fund for the benefit of the families
of the dead and injured. The propertyowner should be made to
feel that when he neglects or refuses to provide adequate safe
guards for human life he does so at the risk Of a serious financial
loss, a we'll as of a criminal Indictment.

ROTTEN EGGS IN THE FOOD WE EAT.

1T He sale of rotten eggs for use in the preparation of food APP
pears to go on unchecked, and, as charged, by the con
nivance of health inspectors in New York. Facts We're given
yesterday to Mayor GaynOr showing a large trade in decayed eggs
with bakers and other caterers. The eggs n broken into barrels
and sold directly to bakeries and restaurants and bakers supply
houses. The names of bakery firms that have purchased and used
the Iiquefed rotten eggs were given to the Mayor. and among them
appears that of a pastry company in Newark. Users of rotten ma
terials in the preparation of food have little 10 fear in this State
from inspectors under the pure food law, but perhaps they will take
a tip from this revelation in New York. The local concern named
is doubtless not the only one that sells rotten eggs TO customers
disguised in cake and pie and pudding.
