LAFOLLETTE CKITIClSES TAFT'S
TARIFF BOARD.

Senator Lafollette, writing his
autobiography in the December
American Magazine, refers to what he
calls, the present so-called Tariff
Board appointed by Mr.. laft, aud
goes on to say:
While tho present tariff board may
gather much valuable information, it
has no power of commanding the facts
from unwilling manufacturers it does
not meet the requirement that every
member stall be specially trained for
the service. it is insufficiently supplied
with funds, and 1T reports to the exc
cutive rather than the Legislative
branch of the Government. Its lack
OF power was well expressed by its
capable chairman, Prof. Henry g.
Emery. in speech to the American
Association of Wooden and Worsted
Manufacturers on December 8. 1910.
He said:
"You must not think I am joking
about this thing, but there is a joke
about it, and the joke is this: I have
no powers whatsoever. The tariff
board has no power. There is really
no such thing as tariff board. The
law says that for certain purposes the
President may employ such persons"
as he sees fit. I am one of such per-
SONS. That is all.
"The Tariff Commission should be
at the service of the houses of Con-
gress instead of the semi confidential
advisers of the President. For it is
Congress which is charged with the
duty. of framing the tariff laws, and
there are other things besides mere
statistics that Congress must pass
upon. Congress must determine
whether a given industry shall be pro.
tected at all. Then, before Congress
decides that given industry shall Do
protected, we want to know how much
of its claim for protection IS due to its
own inefficiency

present chief of the department, the
boss of the entire service, gets $1,000
1t is technically required that there
be a service of at least six months in
any lower grade before being eligible
to promotion to a higher.
Quite an elaborate pension system
is in vogue in the New York fire de-
partment. II a member of the depart
ment should incur total disability
when on duty, after ten years service,
he is retired on half pay for life; il
the disability occurs before ten years,
on one-thfrd salary. If partly disabled
after ten years work, he is given en-
ployment that he a do at the same
salary as before; If partially disabled
when not on duty, he is given other
work at one-third his former salary.
If he is killed when on duty, his
widow and children get half his sal
airy Ga minimum of 5000 and a maxi
mum of $1,000 is fixed, however,, till
the widow is married again and the
he dies when not on duty they get
$500 a year. If killed in discharge Of
his duties, and he has only one child
or dependent parents, the latter are
paid $500 a year. Also it is provided
that all members of the force pay 81
to 81 a month into an insurance fund,
so that at death the widow or depend
ents get $1,000 in addition to the pen
sion.
There are few places in either pub
lie or private service, with the excep-
ton of the army and navy, in which
this paternal interest exists. In addi-
ton to all this, any member of the
force is permitted to retire after 20
years service on a pension of half the
pay he was drawing at the time of
retirement.
Thus your boy, who started in at
twenty-one and rose only to the grade
of captain, can quit at the age of forty
n on a pension of $1,250 for life, and
II he should become a battalion chief
he will draw $1,650, nc matter where
he goes or what he does.
Discipline in the department is
quite rigid, similar in many respects
to that in the army. The disciplinary
rules were prepared by a United
States military officer.

Modern HOSPITAL Needs.

What are these needs of modern
hospitals which ~necessitate SO much
more space than was ever thought of
in the days of the primitive barrack
type of wards, some of them erected
even within the past decade, and how
have such needs arisen? Briefly. they
may be said to include all that Is done
for the patient apart from the giving
of food and medicines, and they have
arisen from the extraordinary prog
ress of medical science, particularly
in the fields of bacteriology, serum
therapy and pathology. and in the
adaptation for medical use of the re-
cen discoveries in the electrical and
mechanical sciences. Moreover, the
hospital has become a center for in
vestigation. research and education to
an extent never imagined before-The
Century.

THE WAY OF THE FISHERMAN
Il Is Made Hard for Him When He
Has a Big Story to Tell
His Friends.

"A fisherman who was worming for
trout on the Ythan," says a writer in
Baily's Magazine, had just laid his
rod down to visit his sandwich box,
when without warning 1t suddenly
rose in the air and scared away like a
Bleriot Biplane over Esslemont woods.
For one wild moment he thought
there were visions about, but the TX
PLANTATION was soon apparent. A trout
had first seized the worm and had
then in turn been seized and gorged
by a heron. Away tapped the heron.
only to find that it had captured some
thing of unusual weight.
Still, 1t bravely few toward it's
nest in the treetops, and the angler
might never more have recovered his
rod had it not got entangled in some
telegraph wires with the result that
the cast snapped, the heron went free
and the rod was eventually restored to
its owner.

man who before l had ven got as far
as the telegraph wires interrupted me
with the assurance that it was a mere
everyday commonplace to what had
befallen a friend of his when mahseer
fishing in India.
ut seems that his angling friend
was casting with a large spoon, and in
a back cast drove 1t into the a of
a tiger which had been going to spring
on him from behind. Goaded by the
pain, the brute sprang clean over him
and into the river, and the fisherman
actually played it for an hour as 1t
swan to and fro in midstream.
at is such stories which bring down
on fishermen the unmerited reproach
of being liars.

Big Pencils for Lower Grade Schools

Big Pencils for Lower Grade Schools.
The Baltimore school board has
authorized the use of large round lead
pencils in the lower grade schools.
where children are just beginning to
write, SO as to prevent what is known
as writer's cramp. This is a kind of
paralysis which Is common among
bookkeepers, accountants and others
who use a pen or pencil constantly
during the day and Is primarily
caused by gripping the pencil too
tightly, causing a cramping of the
muscles of the hand.
BY the use of the large pencil the
child just learning to write finds it
impossible to grasp the pencil except
in an easy way, and writing is less
difficult and without restraining eff
fort. Many mothers have wondered
why children are using the big pen
ellis, and according to Superintendent
Van Sickle this is the reason.

"kickinu the Bucket"

When we speak facetiously of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having Kicked the bucket" we
employ a phrase that would seem to
be a piece of latter-day slang, but, as
a matter of fact, it dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1925,
one Bolsover hung himself to a beam
while standing on the bottom of a
bucket and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases Of suicide, 1t has been applied
in the course of years to any death,
without distinction.

INV who has arrived at the age
IN when it is necessary for
him to make a choice of
his life work, that the occupation of
fireman presents certain attractive
features? This is especially the case
when your boy is of a temperament
which demands a certain amount of
excitement in order to bring out his
best effort. Despite it's dangers and
life of rigid discipline, there is sufi-
Client adventure attached to it to make
1t satisfactory to n who prefers to
live IN a condition of almost constant
expectancy.
So, If your boy is of a venturesome
turn he can find in this work plenty
of opportunity for the exercise of his
bent-more even than would be likely
to come to him if he should enlist in
the army or navy. If he is lacking in
nerve and stamina he should take up
a quieter calling, but if he has courage
he might look farther and fare not so
well.
Since fire departments in all large
American cities are conducted under
practically the same rules and regula-
lions, and because New York's fire
control system is regarded as a model
for all Others, / shall make use of it
to illustrate what l am about to offer
in regard to the mode of procedure for
a young man who wishes to become a
professional fireman,
To get into the fire department of
New York your boy must be twenty
one to thirty years of age, between
5 feet 71a and 6 feet s inches in height
and weigh between 40 and 1876
pounds. His education need be only
the most ordinary, in arithmetic, in
Guiding long and short division, which
is practically all there is to the test,
except some questions showing that
the applicant knows his city fairly
we'll and has a general knowledge Of
its government. There is also a phys
ical examination, which is reasonably
but not excessively strict.
Having passed this test, your boy is
put on the eligible list, and as soon
as there is a vacancy he is made a
probationer for 80 days. He spends
this month learning to tie knots, climb
ladders, use scaling ladders, rescue
people from burning buildings, etc.
Then, if his progress has been salts
factory, he is sent from headquarters,
where he has been in training, to one
of the company fire houses to don his
uniform and go to work as a full
fiedged fireman of the fourth grade. If
from S feet 7k to 5 feet 9 inches in
height, he goes to an engine company;
if yer 5 feet 9, to a truck company.
His pay for the first year, including
the probation month, will be $500.
All 1remen, from the highest Off

IMAM?

If your boys temperament de-
mands an occupation full of &C.
ton and adventure he will find
what he Graves in the fire de-
partment of a large city. 1t is
a calling involving hard work
and more or less danger, but it
offers chances for advancement
that are attractive despite the
unusual risk. With nerve and
ambition, there are prizes to be
obtained by the young man who
makes this his life work.
