FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
SPELLS REVOLUTION
1T ACTS WITHOUT HUMAN AID,
AND is A DEADLY FOE TO IN
CENDlARlSM.

A franchise just granted in New
York works new and revolutionary
departure in fire alarm methods. 1t
is not an experiment but a complete
and operating success. The fact that
D. G.. Ried, the Rock island Railroad
magnate, is in control of the new plan
evidences its stability.
The new system is styled the Air
Alarm Its basis consists of a small
hollow wire of copper alloy, one
eighth of an inch in diameter and con
tanning a tiny insulated wire.
The hollow wire acts as a conductor
for the air whose expansion causes
a fire alarm to sound. The tiny wire
is known as the trouble wire. If for
any reason the hollow wire is cut or
broken. the result is that an electric
circuit is also broken, which causes
the little wire to send trouble
alarm" to the headquarters of the
alarm company. Fire headquarters
hears nothing, unless there happens
TO be a real fire at the time the wire
breaks, or is cut.
Loops of this incOnspicuous hollow
wire are strung around the ceiling or
carefully concealed behind the mold
ing of the rooms, houses and build
ings to be protected, the loops ending

attorney, said, "and if women do
much smuggling it is in things of
small value, while the importers and
art dealers defraud the government of
sums reaching millions. For a paltry
few thousand this woman is sent to
Jail, while men who have brought in
hundred times as much have got off.
No woman has ever been asked by
the law makers if she favored a high
tariff or low tariff" Mrs. Wood con-
tinued, but she has to pay the duties
just the same. She has to pay unnec-
essarily high prices for everything she
wears. If that isn't taxation without
representation, will you tell me what
it is?
"A woman has a right to smuggle.
She is justified in evading laws which
she has not helped to make and which
work a hardship upon her. And if
were not a lawyer and sworn to up
hold the law, would say to every wo-
man, Go ahead! Smuggle all you
cam"

THAT'S HOW NEW YORK CLUB
WOMEN VIEW MRS. r. F. HILLS
ARREST.
WHY SEND WOMAN TO JAIL?
The Sex Has Right to SmugeIe In
Little Household Things, a Speaker
Asserted-And II Was Only $4,000
Worth Too!

New York, Feb. 16.-You can i'm.
prison and fine a woman $4,000 for
smuggling, but you can't make the
rest of the sex believe that it isn't
right for them to put one over on
Uncle Sans customs officials. This
is the conclusion Mr.. Loeb, collector
of the port of New York, has reached
since the release of Mrs. Roberta
Menges Corwin Hin, daughter of a
former race horse trainer, who spent
from Saturday night to Monday morn
ing in the Tombs. Mrs. Hill confess.
ed to smuggling in a sable coat and
other goods worth $4,000.
With the payment of the fine and
the termination of Mrs. Hills sent
ence-the first, by the way, for a wo-
man smuggler-the custom officials
believed a lesson had been taught in
discreet travellers and the incident
closed. 1t wasn't. The Woman's
Press Club, membership two hundred,
has voted after a lively meeting to
send a protest to Judge Martin of the
district court, Collector Loeb and
President Taft against the sentencing
OF Mrs. Hill.
What made the club members espe-
cially angry, apparently, is that the
czars of the customs department had
to pick on a poor, defenseless woman
beg pardon-lady who was merely
adding to her collection of furs, when
so many men are engaged in the trade
for the sordid purpose of making a liv-
ing. They characterize the judges ac-I
ton as extreme and unfair, although
the federal judges had given warning
that the next woman caught snug
Cling would receive a prison sentence
a the district attorney had said that
30 per cent of the smuggling was done
by women.

in detector, which consists princi-
pally of a disc, containing a delicate
diaphragm.
If fire starts in room the air in
the hollow tube expands under the
influence of the heat and operates a
sensitive diaphragm in the detector,
causing it to close an electrical circuit
which sets in operation all the marvel
Gus fire alarm machinery.
All the older systems are held large
t. defective, due to the use of what
is known as a 'thermostat," placed
at intervals on the ceiling. These
are constantly exposed to the effect
of the air and the electrical contacts
become oxidised, or clogged with dust,
and when needed fail to operate at
all, or only after a raging fire is in
full blast.
Briefly, the new system scores its
main success in the principle that the
best way to solve the great fire hazard
problem of the day is to deal with in
cipient fires instead of conflagrations.
The new system gives an almost in
stantaneous alarm. If a pair of cur
tains catch afre, or even a newspaper,
an effective alarm is given within ten
to forty seconds Moreover, another
alarm is rung on a box outside of the
which also indicates the eX-
act location of the fire Thence the
alarm goes on and directly into the
fire headquarters, where the exact To-
cation is also announced.
From beginning to end the system
is altogether automatic. This elimi-
nation of the human element also
eliminates the danger of error

a mechanism would be also

perature, as for instance, from steam
heat or a cooking stove But the de-
tector Is influenced, not merely by the
presence of heat, but rather by the
sudden rise of heat within a fixed pc
riod OF time.
For instance, the thermostats now
commonly used to give fire alarms are
only affected by extreme degrees of
heat, say 60 degrees F. The new sys-
TEN would work just the same if a
fire started in a room the temperature
of which was zero. An incipient fire
IS accompanied by a certain rapid rise
in temperature, which the National
Board of Underwriters puts at only
four degrees per minute. The new
system works only on this rapid rise
principle.
1t is also fool and mischief-proof
II the hollow wires are injured, acci-
dentally or otherwise, that fact is i'm
mediately indicated, not at fire head
quarters, but at the office of the COM
pany. No false alarms are possible.
Because of its instantaneous alarm
and complete efficiency it is claimed
that the new system will practically
do away with the horrors of incen-
diarism, so common in the tenement
districts of large cities.
The system in its entirety is the
product of the minds of a staff of en-
gineering specialists in this field. The
patents, over two hundreds in ALL are
owned by the International Electric
Protection Company, at 115Broadway,I
New York. The president of the COM
pany is Robert Walker, also president
of the holding company of the Rock
Island system.

old Sores
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The inflamma-
ton, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there is morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
OF all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and plasmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh is
OBLIGED to remain. S. S. S. heals

WEEK OF DEPRESSION
IN COTTON MARKET
Variety of Causes Have Caused the
Market to be Unsettled and Nervous.
China Trade Poor.

China Trade Poor.
New York, Feb. 24.--It has been
an unsettled and moro or less de-
pressed market for a variety of
causes, notably the fear that IL the
Scott anti-option bill should pass it
would result in grave injury to the
cotton trade of the country whatever
the faults OF the present system. The
break in the New York and London
stock markets, the existing big stocks
rarely equalled at this time OF the
year; continued large receipts, the
reported dullncss of spot markets;
the sluggishness of the trade in cloths
in yarns even at some decline in price
and finally the fall OF copious and
beneficial rains over much of the
vast area of Texas, have been con-
tributory causes. New England mill
shares have been weak owing to the
unsatisfactory condition of the cotton
goods trade.
Chinese Trade Poor.
Trade in China is injured by the
plaugue and famine In that country
and the recent diplomatic clash be-
tween Russia and China did not help
matters. Some New England mills
are curtailing production.
Spinners purchase sparingly. New
crop months are at q noteworthy dis
count. All the indications point to a
very large acreage at the South.
Though cold weather for some days
past has retarded field work in parts
of the cotton belt the spring prepara-
tions are reported to be we'll forward
while some cotton has actually been
planted in parts of Texas.
Good Deal OF liquidation.
There has been good deal of Ii
quidation here for local, Southern
and Wall street account. Liverpool
and the continent have sent selling
orders. Though Liverpool's spot sales
have occasionally risen to 10000 bales
in day they have at other times
fallen to a very small total. Some
reports of late have stated that Man
chester's trade has improved, favored
by a sharp rise in silver. The i'm
provement in the white metal recently
certainly in a measure offsets the bad
news from China. At times Liverpool
has bought here freely. So have spot
interests and spinners who have taken
hpth tho old and tho now crnn fnpntbc
On Friday March notices for some 49,
600 bales were issued and although
they caused some depression for a
time, n rally in price occurred later
when it was found that the cotton had
lodged in the hands of stronger inter
ests.
Movement May Fall.
Col Thompson is said to have stop
ped most OF them. 1t is predicted that
the movement of tht crop will shortly
fall off decisvely. The exports have
been large. Spinners' takings have
made good exhibit. AS general trade
in this country shows tendency to
improve it Is argued that the textile
industries, including cotton, are bound
to show sooner or later in the better
state of things. At times. too, it has
been clear enough that the short side
has been overdone and covering has
caused noticeable rallies. Speculation,
however has i'm the main been quiet.
The great bulk of the trade are await
ing further developments as regards
the future crop, the movement of the
last crop and the course of legislation
at Washington.
