The League Of Politeness.

The League Of Politeness has been
formed in Berlin. 1t aims at inculcat-
ing better manners among the people
OF Berlin. 1t was founded upon the
Initiative Of Fraulein Cecelie Meyer,
who was inspired by an existing or
ganization in Rome. In Difference to
the parent organization the Berlin
league has chosen the Italian motto,
PRO gentilezza." This will be en-
blazoned upon an attractive little
medal worn where Germans are &C.
customed to wear the insignia of or
ders. The idea is that a GLANCE at
the "talisman" will annihilate any in
clination to indulge in bad temper or
discourteous language. ANY polite
person" is eligible for membership.

others, there was a sudden, sharp
loud report like the instantaneous
rending of high pressure boiler.
Portions of the masonry of the
building fell away like child's house
of toy building blocks. large part
of this fell on the canopy over the
loading platform, tearing the latter

itself. which was crushed like an egg

Falling Brick Inlure Many.
There were scores of firemen stand
ing on the outskirts of where the
bricks fell Many of these were in
jured. some of them painfully. They
were taken to ST Demands hospital
and to their homes in ambulances
and police patrols, which were rush
ed to the scene by the score when the
explosion came and it was known
that there would be list Of dead and
injured.
Fumes Of ammonia filled the build
ing with rapidity. 1t was seen at
once that ammonia pipes forming a
part of the refrigerating machinery
that keeps the south end of the build
ing chilled for the storage Of beef
carcasses had exploded.
At once fear became widespread
that many firemen and their officers
were in the building at the time and
that the ammonia fumes would
strike them to the floor, leaving them
easy prey for flames and smoke or
killing them outright.
Firemen Work in Danger
The rescuers worked under the
greatest danger to their own lives and
ignoring burns and hazard Of falling
walls. Despite the fact that they were
aware of the fatality and knew that
the bodies of the victims were buried
under the brick pile firemen worked
about the pile, directing streams OF
water into the burning building. Many
of them went about with tears stream
ing down their cheeks, overcome with
grief over the fate OF the chief and
his subordinates.
Begin Rescue Immediately.
Almost as soon as the wall fell
those of the fighters who had escaped
the fate of their companions rushed
at the ruins to bring to safety those
who might still be alive. Amid the
blazing timbers, the redhot bricks and
the sizzling steel, the firemen worked
unmindful of the terrible burns they
were suffering.
The peril Of the brave fire fighters
did not cease after the explosion and
the falling Of the wall on the score of
men on the loading platform.
Other and smaller sections OF the
wall continued to fall and warning

Moslems above all others. In that
month the Koran-according to Mos

Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month

that month the doors of heaven are
always open, the passages to hell are
shut, and the devils are chained" So
