the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast
states should participate in the St.
Paul conservation congress.
The formal request of Governor
Marion E. Hay, of Washington, that
these states be represented on the
programme at St. Paul was denied by
officials of the conservation congress
and this plain and positive manifesta-
ton of discourtesy and unfairness
prompted Washington's chief execu.
tive to call the conference of gov
errors.
A delegation of ST. Paul business
men appeared before the assembled
governors and their representatives
and promised the West fair treatment
and that an extra day during which
all governors or their representatives
will be given a hearing, would be
added to the programme.

THE BURNING OF A HOUSE
IN THE NIGHT strikes terror to the
bravest heart. You who have dear
ones at home speculate what might
happen if a carlessly thrown match
started a smouldering blaZe--a blaze
that broke fourth in death dealing
fury when all were sound asleep.
Defective flues cause the greatest
number of fires and the carIess
handling of matches the next great
est number, according to w. H.
Merrill, expert of the Underwriters
Laboratories, an institution which
analyses the cause of fires. 'Of all
forms of lighting" says Mr.. Merrill,
1.-THE incandescent light undoubt-
edly is the safest.". Mr.. Merrill and
his fellow experts are interested in
reducing the fire risk and are en-
ploped by the insurance companies.
They are not boosting the business
of electric light companies. There
fore their advice should be good adj
vice. 1t may not cost as much to
wire your house as you may think.
