UNNECESSARY NOISES.

The Chicago city council last night
passed two ordinances to prohibit use
less noises. Ono ordinance provides
that automobiles, motor vehicles and
motorcycles shall be equipped with
% suitable bell, horn or other device,
except the so-called siren signal or
any similar Device" It also provides
that It shall be unlawful to use any
signal device unnecessarily. They
must be used only as warnings OF dan
ger. This ordinance was aimed at the
screaming automobile horns that
serve no other purpose than to raise
bedIam. The other ordinance pro-
vides that no motor vehicle OF any
kind shall be allowed to operate with
out 10 suitable muller in working
condition. The, penalty imposed for
violating either Of these ordinances IS
q fino OF from IS to $50, which should
be suffloient to make the ordinances
effective II properly enforced.
The motorist and the motorcycllst
are not the only offenders along this
line, although they are. old enough to
know better More distracting Stills

some OF Ottumwa,s boy bicyclists who
have equipped their machines with
some sort OF contraption that sings a
mournful dirSe at low speed and con-
tributes the same measure of bedlam

high speed. A hickory switch might
prove more effective than an ordin-
ance in stopping this practice.

Our FIRE TOLL.

Fire losses in the United States and
Canada during the first half OF this
year, ending July 80, have amounted to
more than 1928, 100000. During the
corresponding period last year, $1O2,-
100000 was destroyed by flames. The
losses for the entire year 1910 amount
ed to 1924, 100000. II the present ratio
continues the fire destruction for the
entire year 1911 will total more than
$3.50, 100000.
Fire losses and the cost of fire pre-.
vention amounts to more than $780,
100000 annually-more than the entire
annual production Of gold, silver, cop
per and petroleum.
Last year the United States and
Canada lost by fire an amount equal
to $2.51 for every man, woman and
child. The per capita fire loss IN
Europe for the same time amounted to
3.33.
In addition to our fire losses fifteen
hundred people are killed and more
than five Thousand are injured every
year. according to official statistics.
And why? Why this loss, this SUI
fering. this death toll? Because
Americans are careless; careless in
construction, careless in use Of fire
and matches.
II our buildings were as fireproof
as those OF Europe, our annual fire
losses would not amount to more than

authority.

known fire causes were due to care
less use Of matches. Nearly ten thou
sand matches are lighted in this coun-
try every second, according to an
authentic report and every one OF
them is a possible fire.
The one who is careless about
matches is constant menace not only

EVENING STORY
OF THE OLD SCHOOL.
BY Temple Bailey.
Copyright, 1911. by the Associated
Literary P:ess.)

The old man sat in his garden. 1t
vas a quaint old place with tangle OF
roses enclosing the space where, near
a fountain. was a stone bench. Here
the old man sat each morning and
watched the gold fish in the pellucid
water. Today he wore an old brown
coat with silver buttons. His hat was
the fashion of by-gone age. everything
about him showed that, for him. life
had stopped in the late fifties.
1t was hot day. and his head nod
aded over his cane: the pigeons cooed
and wheeled drowsily over the roof OF
the summer house on the other side OF
the hedge. The hedge was the divid-
ing line between the estates Of the
very old man and his next door neigh
bcr
But there was another sound beside
the cooling Of pigeons, and. at last. the
old man raised his head to listen. Then
he moved uneasily. stood mp and look
ed over the hedge.
A large rambler made an ineffective
screen between him and the summer
house Through its interlacing
bran ches he caught a glimpse of white
gown, and closer observation showed
q girl curled up in corner Of the wide
s<aG WITHIN, sobbing as IL her heart
would break.
at iirst tire old man thought she
was alone, but presently he heard a
mans voice say, "You are very silly,
Marjorie
The sobbing continued. II don't see
why you should make such fuss over
IT," was the further masculine COM
laint.
The girl sat up. ard the cid man had
a view of her flushed face and spark
ing eyes. IF you love me" she said,
Won could never have taken that ride
with another woman
WHO would have believed you jeaF
1ous?' her companion tainted.
Il am not jealous" and her voice
quivered, only I Judged your feeling
by mine. | don't want to be with any

was the reply. Isn't that enough ?"

troubled. 81 am not sure. Bruce.

cool reioinder. "a woman should trust
him. AS said before. don't see why
you should make fuss. Marjorie"
She stood very still and pale In the
door of the summer house. Perhaps

way
Bruce came up behind her and thus
brought himself into the vision OF the
near-sighted old, man.
Silly. he said and leaned over
Marjorie and kissed her.

hedge came voice. She is not Sill

The above is a report through the
United States department OF commerce
and labor. This failure to meet condi-
lions is the very factor that will hold
any firm back for awhile and then 1t
will put them entirely out of business.
The fact that the German manufac-
turer has in the last 20 years made IN
his system Of packing and shipping.
any kind of change necessary to suit
and please his customers in any land.
accounts in great measure for the
great amount OF German goods used In
all parts of the world, especially South
America. A few months ago. q Balti-
more firm refused to fill an order OF
goods for foreign shipment because
said the firm ut is too much trouble
to get our shipping department to put
iron straps around the boxes. And
that purchaser does, not want these
goods shipped unless the boxes packed
are bound with iron straps" Such a
Arm ought to fail.
= The German manufacturer puts iron
straps or any other kind Of straps that
the customer wants on boxes and Is
willing to pay for. Therefore Germany
gets the business. That same princi-
ple holds good with the retailer-the
retailer that has his store organized
so he CAN fill mail order promptly
and DOES fill mail orders promptly
will get mail orders and is not worry
ing about the mail order business
OF others. But the merchant who does
not care to wait on trade, either when
1t comes personally or through the mail
lis slowly turning the keyssin his own
store door, and when the door is
locked he will find that, he As, on the
outside. The wholesaler needs to adj
lust his business to condition just as
much as the retailer or manufacturer.
These things are simply a part OF the
way business has to be looked after
and conditions recognized and dealt
with today.
Since the public has been led to be-
lieye that one who takes up govern
ment land under the laws must neces-
sarily be intending to commit robbery.
the Denver Republican observes. natur-
ally it must follow that desire to
take up a piece in Alaska must have
been loaded with sufficient graft to in
yolve q brother of the president: 1t
is too bad some Of these wise ones
who know SO much about the unoccu-
pied lands of the west have never filed
on some Of it and learned how COM
pletely the man who does so earns all
he gets from Uncle Sam.
