third floor is the lodge rooms of Less ing lodge, I. O. o. F. and other socie- ties, the second floor is occupied by the Waldorf lunch and Dr. E. c. Alp ernathy, and the ground floor by the Waldorf lunch and the Van Dyk Tea Go. To- prevent as little damage as possible by water firemen with brooms for a long time swept the water down the stair cases. Tarpau- lins were spread over the stock in the tea store, but there was no damage there.
 The loss to Leasing lodge will run into the hundreds. some of the furni- ture and carpets being destroyed by the water. Dr. Abernathys water loss will also amount to several hun dred dollars.
 The building is owned by E. E. Wheeler, who formerly conducted a feed store at that corner. It was erected 13 years ago. In the blind attic was stored papers and furniture belonging to MT. Wheeler, all of which were destroyed. Against blind attics, Chief Mooney has long waged war. If he had his way, a blind attic would never be constructed, while all buildings with such additions would have to be re- constructed.

of articles in the Survey on the hous- ing awakening in twenty American cities, large and small, east and west. the material it has supplied to other magazines and to newspapers, and the series of pamphlets dealing with the more general phases of the problem are teaching many eyes to see facts to which before they had been blind.
 But having begun to see, it is then high time to act. That action may be productive of results Lawrence VeiIler, the secretary of the Associa- tion, has prepared a Housing Pro- gramme. Individuals acting alone can seldom accomplish much for cOmmun- ity betterment. So the first step is the formation of citizens committee which shall make an intelligent inveS- t1gation of existing conditions. With facts as basis this committee may then expect to secure needed legislation. But then, unlike many cttizens com mittees organized to correct social evils, 1t shall not go out o-f existence; instead it shall stay on the job to see that its legislation is enforced. Many a law has been put on the statute books as a salve to outraged citizen ship. And that is the end of it. This committee is to see that the law is both on the books and in the minds of the proper officials. And it is to see JIldC In0T0 are pIOp6r OIIlcldlS, TOT no law enforceS itsef
 Having progressed so far the com mittee may take up those interesting questions which arise in every com munity that has begun to realize the vital importance of decent housing to the health and efficiency of its people; economical and efficient management of inexpensive houses, the selection of tenants, the improvement of the older houses, the study of social conditions, overcrowdfng, rents, etc., all of which will result in the education of the community, including the tenants and the landlords, and will probably lead to demand that those who manage or supervise tenant property, even the janftors and the city inspectors, shall have had training to fit them for their work fN

Blind AttiC Seat
 Of Stubborn Blaze
Several Thousand Dollar Fire In Wheeler Building at Main and Elm Streets.
Fire Chief Moneys Warfare t Against Attics of This Character Has Been of No Avail.

Fire, due to defective electric wir- Wheeler building, Main and Elm streets, entailing a loss from fire and water of about $2,5OO The loss is fully covered by insurance.
 The fire was about the hardest and most stubborn the firemen have fought in years and necessitated sev- eral hours of hard work beore it was controlled. The seat of the fire was located in the blind" attic and had been Smouldering from early in the evening. It was about ' o'clock when smoke was seen coming out of the top of the structure Examination of the upper rooms revealed no fire, it was believed the smoke came from rooms on the ground floor. The smoke became so dense that a still alarm was sent in to the chemical company. The firemen worked their way into the blind attic where they located the fire. To get at the seat and a call was sent in for No. Truck Co. The firemen chopped their way through the ceiling allowing themselves to crawl into the attic. The fire was of such vigor that it was too much for chemicals and a regular alarms from Box 32 was rung in, calling out three engine companies and another truck company.
 On account of the nature of the attic it was necessary to fight the fire from all sides, necessitating the cut ting of the ceiling in many places. In this way the fire was drowned out The attic at its highest end is six feet and its lowest three feet. The firemen had to crawl about on all fours, and as there was no ventilation they suffered greatly from the smoke.
 The drowning out process had its effects on the three floors below. The

A great many letters come to me each week, asking if I consider cos metfcs injurious or whether I really dc advise their use. These letters are all earnest inquiries and I take this op- portunity to answer them more al length than is possible in the "An- swers to Queries column.
 The meaning of the word cosmetic seems to be entirely misunderstood, even by the editors of beauty depart ments in some of our most prominent publications. Son account of this al- most unpardonable ignorance on their part we are often warned against cos metics as though they were something dangerous which should be ta:booed by every woman who values her health and beauty. So serious are these warn tngs sometimes that we feel almost afraid to rub a bit of scold cream on our sunburned nose for fear that we are using the condemned cosmetic.
 Turning to our Webster unabridged we find the following definition of the noun cosmetic: Any external ap- plfcation that renders the skin soft, pure and white and helps to improve the complexion" Thus we see that a harmful cosmetic is impossible, because something which improves the skin cannot, at the same time, harm it.
 Since we now understand the real meaning of the word, my readers will readily see that certainly do believe in the use of cosmetics. Surely when the skin is dry and wrinkled, the application of a nourishing cream is suggested by our own common sense. When the face needs cleansing and hard water and soap do not prove sat- isfactory, a pure cleansing cream is the natural substitute and is a real cosmetic, wonderfully improving the skin
 One could go on indefinitely mention ing the different remedies-the mild bleach for whitening the skn-the as- tringent lotion for refining the coarse pores-the skin tonic for relaxed tis- sues-an of which, and many more, are helpful in keeping our complex ions ''soft, pure and white.''
 There are undoubtedly some toilet preparations which have little or no value; there are probably some which

Soul Mafe Earle
 Happy In Fourth
 Wedding Venture
Photographs of His Latest Bride Bear Out Glowing Description Sent Out by Earle.

New York, Sept. 1.-The first photo graphs of the new Mrs. Ferdinand Pinney Earle reached New York yes terday from Italy, and with them came the glad news, over Earle's signature, that the honeymoon trip had been un- interrupted up to the moment or Wrlt- ing and would go right on.
 Earle also cleared up his, wife s identity, for in a letter to a friend he gave her full name as Dorothea El- bert Stewart. In previous letters he had referred to her simply as Dora Although, like his other experiments in matrimony, the last one is the re- suit of love at first sight, the glamour seems not to have faded in this in stance, even after eight weeks, for he draws the following picture of his home life:
 we arise at in the morning and put in a great deal of our time at tennis Dorothea is trying for the golf championship, but, like all Ital- ian linl1s those here are poorly kept. We have two weird baths from the hose every day, as Voltaggio is a well known hydro. We have been very much annoyed by. wasps, fleas and other insects common to Italy at this time of the year. I have been do- ing a bit of educational work among
 
 absolutely no knowledge of hygiene in the care of their children"
 The EarleS are in Naples now, a cable from The Worlds Naples corre- spondent said yesterday. They intend to go from there to India. Before they return to Earle's country home in Monroe, N Y, the scene of so much other soul mating and conjugal bliss and discard, the pair will journey through the Far East and Japan, and then across America, taking in the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone Park.
 The pictures of the third Mrs. Earle seem to bear out the rapturous de- Scription Earle sent back at the time of the wedding.
 She has laughing brown eyes, a soft English complexion, and is just twenty -one,'' he wrote. She is thor ougbly English. Her immediate pre- decessor, Mrs. Julia Kuttner Earle, was American, and the first Mrs. Earle was French. There was also Chicago woman, Gertrude Buell. Dunn who had been tempered by a residence in Paris, who Earle thought was another affinity in the period be- tween the casting off of the second Mrs. Earle and the annexation of the latest But Earle discovered that the American-French combination would not suit.
 The present MrS. Earle IS the Odu&n- ter of an architect at Nottingham, Berkshire, England. Earle met her as he was wandering in Surrey. When their eyes met their souls rushed to- gether, he has told friends. The mar riage took place by special license the last of June They went to @ quaint old inn for the first half of the honey moon, then to Holland and Germany, and next wandered down to Switzer- land and into Italy.

Posse To Battle
 Southern Pacific
 Trio Of Bandits
Held Up Train and Looted Express Safe Yesterday
 Now Ensconced in Deep
 Woods.
(special from United Press. )

Bedding, Cal, Sept. 2-With three posses in close pursuit of three ban dits who footed the express car of the southbound Oregon express on the Southern Pacific Railway near Le- moyne, last night, battle is expected today in the forests west of the. scene of the crime. The country is heav- lily timbered and will afford the rob- bers plenty of shelter.
 The train was standing at Gibson, 45 miles north of here, when the three robbers one negro, boarded it. As soon as the train started again they walked through the sleepers, ordered the passengers to hold up their hands. The negro was masked and the others made no attempt at disguise. The bandits did not try to rob the pas sengers, however, but went forward to the express car where they over powered the express messenger and blew both safes. AS the train slowed down, the men seized the money in the safe and leaped off, disappearing in the darkness.
 Southern Pacific officers declined to announce how much money they ob- tained.

 Hartford, Sept. 2-Calling, for rad ical efforts to down the partnership of the railroad and liquor interests in the Legislature to secure and control legisla ton, "The Voter, organ of the Connecticut Prohibition party, today said:
 'The railroad interests have for years had the active and ready CO., operation of the liquor lobby when ever they desired it, and in return has rendered the liquor interests assist ance when it wanted it.
 That the lobby has its legitimate place in legislation and in legislative halls is recognized by all who are connected with making laws.

THE PARK 1s
NEW BELASCO PLAY


 THE WEEKS EVENT
 Never has the importance of the telephone as factor in contemporary life and action beeho sol dfainatFcally suggested as in the new play by Will liam c. deMille, entitled "The Wom- an," which will be MT. David Belas- CO.'S first offering of the present the atrical season, and which will be the powerful attraction for next Monday afternoon and evening at the Park theatre.
 These possibilities of the telephone the author of "The Woman found to be almost 1imitless, with the result that Wanda Kelly the telephone girl, aided by the magic little instrument she controls, dominates the action of the drama, a veritable dea ex machina whose power seems all the more over-. whelming because of her essential gen. tleness and womanliness. Of the te1e- phone itself, he has this to say in ans impassioned scene with her lover.
 ''One of the big central telephone stations is the world-the world all boiled down and spread out on the switchboard-and right there on that board. thousands and thousands of people are meeting, their thoughts are crossing each other-and the Hello Girl is perched on the top of a high mountain looking at them. That's the real wOrld-what people are thinking, and it's all on the board-good and bad, love stories and death notices, winners and losers-rich and poor, all mixed up together-all going on at once-and the operator is a sort of Fate who sees that the right people get each other-and, like Fate, aba has to let them work out their own she could often save lot of trouble if she mixed in. tell you it's hard not to interfere some times when you've got the whole world under your two hands,
