Engineer Lyons, without a doubt,
held one office and position longer
than any other member of Protection
Engine Company No. 3. From the
time one of the rotary steamers
was purchased in 1875, Mr.. Lyons
has had charge of the fire engines,
being an expert engineer and me-
chanic. When the A. NJ. Atkinson
steamer was bought it was claimed
by William Muir that the company
would have TO pay an engineer ST.
600 per year to run it. He is cred
tied as being first engineer, but Mr.
Lyons claims that Mr.. Muir secured
him and that he took the position
March, 1875. The following year,
September 13, 1876, he Lyons) was
elected, having served from 1875 to
1876 inclusive and continuously ever
since. Mr.. Lyons is president of the
Firemen's Relief Association, which
office he has held since 1896. The
association was organized December
27, 1895, when he was elected vice
president, and is also a charter mem
ber of same.
Thomas F. Carroll, who had been
assistant engineer of the steamers
under Engineer ]. NJ. Lyons for many
years previous to his going to New
York City, is still ertained as assist
ant engineer by Mr.. Lyons and in his
absence operates the steamers in
connection with his brother, j. j..
Carroll, who is assistant engineer of
the company.

Calvin J. Brown who joined the
reorganized company of Protection
Engine Co. No. 3, was a member of
the original company, being one of
the first three fire companies that
Honesdale had His membership
with the old company dated back sew
eral years, his father, the late Thos.
S. Brown, being one of the early
members Of the original No. 3. c. J.
Brown stated to a representative of
this paper that when the members of
the old company wanted TO call a
meeting they would open a window,
take the nozzle off the hose and
blow through it, using it as a mega
phone. It's serene tones vibrated up
on the night air and the members re-
sponded, coming in large numbers.
The method OF calling, although very
crude, was unique. On March 2,
1870, Mr.. Brown was elected a mem
Der of Protection Engine Company
No. and has since given the fire
department continuous service
During these years he has escaped
serious injury.

These gentlemen have been active
firemen. They held many offices and
never shirked their duties. All are
well-known men of Honesdale. Mr..
Penniman, who for several years
was an editor of The Citizen, is now
retired. Mr.. Conger is a member of
Kraft & Conger coal agents, and
Mr. Foster has charge of the Foster
estate in HOnesdale.
Mr.. Penniman served as treasurer
for one year, being elected to that
office June -, 1854. He also serv-
ed as second assistant foreman and
first assistant foreman, being elected
to these offices September 2, 1856,
and March 6, 1861, respectively.
Mr. Conger's record in office in
cluded the treasurership for two diff
ferent terms. The first time for one
year, being elected Sept. 3, 1855,
and the second time from September
), 1861 to 1865. He was also secre-
tary for one year, being elected in
September 1856. He served as fore
man from September 5, 1865, for one
year. Mr. Foster was secretary for
three years, serving from March 4,
1863 to 1866,

ABOUT WOOD ALCOHOL.

Delaware county, New York, has
l D wood acid industries, one-seventh
of the number of factories of this
kind in the United States. New
York leads in the production of
wood alcohol, while Pennsylvania
is a close second. The Walton Re-
porter says: The late Thos. Keery
OF Hancock, who died last year, was
one of the pioneers in the business
in Delaware county at the time when
the iron retorts were first coming
into use. Keery himself used to
wheel the wood to his factory in a
wheelbarrow. At that time wood al
cohol brought almost fabulous
prices.
The manufacture of wood alcohol
originated in Germany and the Ger
mans were the pioneers in the bust
ness in the United States. The max
ing of wood alcohol was a natural
step from the manufacture of char
coal, leading industry seventy-fve
years ago. Fifty years ago factories
with iron retorts were succeeding
the old beehived shaped brick ovens
used in the manufacture of wood al
cohol and charcoal.
Within the last few years another
change has taken place in the bust
ness, the iron retorts being succeed
ed by large brick ovens. The re-
torts would hold only one and a half
cords of wood while the ovens hold
eight cords each. Most of the fac
tories in Delaware county have from
two to four ovens.
Wood alcohol within the last few
years has been largely superseded in
use by denatured alcohol and the
price of wood alcohol in crude form
has dropped from fifty to twenty-five
cents. The chief product now is ace
tate of lime, from which is secured
acetic acid used in the manufacture
of smokeless gun powder.

Plow Early TO Destroy Pests,
Fall plowing is in full swing in
parts of Pennsylvania although in
some sections plowing is not often
started much before the beginning of
September. In some cases fields
which were planted with wheat and
oats are now being turned over, al
though the harvest has just ended.
1t is probable that all work in the
fields will be early this year, owing
to the rains, which caused weeds to
spring up rapidly and brought about
numerous pests. State authorities
recommend plowing as soon as pos
sible in order to bring eggs of in
sects and grub worms to the surface,
where weather and natural enemies
of the pests will be able to get
them.

NEW MAGAZINE POLICY.

The management of Pcarson's
Magazine has come to the conclusion
that il doesn't care whether it has
any advertising or not if the adver-
tisers insist on debating the kind of
stuff the magazine may publish.
Pearson's believes in free press and
the right to print what it pleases
provided it prints what the people
want to know.
Pearson's has figured the thing up
and has decided that by cutting out
all its pictures it can cheaper the
cost of it's production to the extent of
making the magazine profitable even
if it has no advertising. People do
not buy magazines for their cOlOred
pictures but for the quality of the
stuff printed. The kind of reading
the public wants is not always pleas
ing to advertisers. PearsOn's new
policy is that if it comes to a ques-
tiOn of sacrificing reading matter or
advertising it will let the latter go
to publications that have no scruples
in the matter and as far as this mag
azine is concerned the advertisers
may 'gO hang"

physicians and the teachers will do
all in their power in forwarding the
movement of educating the people
ON the subject of this disease and
the ways for preventing it and
stamping it out.
Some of the important points set
forth in Hints on tuberculosis
that everybody should know are:
Patients should not spit on the
floor, grass or ground. Consumption
is caused by a germ which is trans
mitted through the sputum cOughed
up by an infected person. If this
tsputum is not Immediately destroyed
by burning or otherwise the germs
from it may be carried by flies, dust
or other carriers to persons not in
fected and thus subject them to the
disease. 1t is important to remem-
Der that one should never use un-
washed drinking cups that have been
used by others and not to put into
the mouth pencils and other things
that may have been in others
mouths. The allies of consumption
are carelessness, filth, closed win
dows. intemperance. and other eX-
cesses such as overwOrk, crowded
quarters, smoke, dust and mouth
breathing. Tubercular patients
should never sleep with others. If
one has a standing cough it should
be investigated. Consult your own
physician. Do not trust your case in
the hands of advertised physicians
that are not recommended to you.
Never, never, take patent medicines
for consumption. Remember that
S4 per cent of the cases of tubercu-
lOsis recover if taken in time and
treated under favorable conditions as
those in the sanatOrium at Mt. Yer
non. The main points to keep in
mind in curing consumption are
Rest. Outdoor Living, and Liberal
Diet"
There is no excuse for people not
Informing themselves about how to
prevent and to cure consumption and
there is no reason why they should
not do all i'm their power to aid in
stamping out the disease.

Certainly an original experiment
is being tried by teacher who
writes in the Atlantic Monthly, un-
der the caption Education Drama
tized," of her attempts to utilize the
natural instincts of the child for
mimic representation as an aid to
education. The children are, for
example. shown acting out a. geo.
graphy play, not as an occasion, but
as the regular morning work of the
schools. They have soap boxes fit
ted out with wheels which are manip-
ulated as ships and sail around the
playground and back before they
reach their destination. Returning
they bring in exports of the foreign
land. For example, little lad is
lifted by big companion and laid
on the make-believe wharf as frozen
mutton" The ship encounters cer-
tain ocean currents and shifting bars
and finds sudden changes of tenn
perature, which are explained as
they go along by the pupils them
selves. The children have found
out these things for themselves in
their happy preparation for the geo.
graphy play and interpOlate the in
formation at the points where they
think ii ought to come. No doubt
the teacher cOrrects and amplifies,
but the scene certainly shows hap
by roomful of children at play, not
consciously at work, learning the
usual routine facts of lesson books
as dramatic and vital realities. They
are all interested, and they are all
working hard; for when does a boy
really work harder than over his
play? 1t would seem as if self-ex-
preston and self-educatiOn is being
attained to high degree.
In another part of the school
building little children are learning
numbers. Each child has a placard
pinned upon his breast and partners
are chosen for a dance according to
which numbers paired together make
ten. The dance is itself a form of

Viewpoints
The Value of PrOmptness.

Editor the MissOurian: One of the
great lessons which the student must
learn is that of being prompt. The
old saying that The early bird
gets the worm is true in the bust
ness world today. In fact it is prob
ably truer than at any other time in
history.
1t is necessary that little urging
be done just here as the spring days
are coming on. The tendency now
will be toward laziness. tagging and
late sleeping. All of this will mean
students getting to classes late.
In the matter of prOmptness We
have seen many professors who
might learn something. If the pro-
fessor is not prompt, he need have NO
reason for expecting the students to
be prompt.

CURING TUBERCULOSIS.

All over the country people are
becoming alarmed at the increase
and spread of tuberculosis. That
this alarm is well-fOunded can be
shown readily from the statistics in
regard to the disease. In booklet
Hints on Tuberculosis or Consump-
tion, Its Prevention and Treatment"
issued by the Missouri State Sana-
torium at Mt. Vernon, Governor H.
S. Hadley in the "Foreword' of the
booklet says. Approximately $4,000
people in the State of Missouri are
afflicted with this disease, and the
deaths number each year about
1000. The annual loss from this
cause to the people of Missouri has
been estimated at s32,OOO,OOO."
1t is now generally conceded by
DHESlCldHS tHdI Van III
a large measure be prevented or if
contracted, if taken promptly in
hand in it's early stages, can be
easily cured. The readiness with
which the disease, however, yields to
treatment is mostly in the hands of
the patients The best doctors for
those who have tuberculosis are the
patients themselves. The points to
be considered in the case by such
patients are, how to know when they
have the disease, how to care for
themselves, and what to do to pre-
vent others from becoming infected
or i'm a word people must be educated
on the subject of tuberculosis in
order to prevent the disease and tC
cure it.
The first step, then, in combating
tuberculosis is that of educating the
public in regard to this disease. TIC
this end the 46th General Assembly
appropriated $1,000 to be placed in
the hands of the Board of Manager:
of the Missouri State Sanatorium al
Mt. Vernon. The board used the ap
preparation for publishing and dis
tributing the above-named booklet
This booklet was sent to the physi
clans, newspapers and teachers of tn,
state. Through these mediums o
publicity the board hopes to reacl
every person in the state and thus t
give all the necessary information
to intelligently fight tuberculosis

training, in remembering steps and
figures as well as satisfying the
child need of activity. In third
room a mimic store is leading fur
ther into the mysteries of numbers
and children are learning incidental
ly no doubt much about products
where they come from and how they
are made.
On another day the history class
is shown acting the siege of Calais
The improvising of needed acces-
sOries and costumes is part of the
fun. Children really like to 'pre-
tend" better than to play with an
elegantly finished toy, and so to
think of the corner of the desk as
cape or prOmontOry is more salts
factory than the scenic stages pic
ture of a cliff would be. The soap
boxes on wheels. because the boys
themselves have made them, are
more delightful than a toy ship.
1t would seem as if such COM
plete reversal of the old theory OF
education must depend for its use
fulness on the power of the teacher
to plan the play or to lead in it in
such a way as to systematic the
children's thinking. 1t is said that
the FrOebel theory applied by incOm-
petent teachers appears to make
children incapable of steady appli-
cation. A child who knows no law
but his own impulse or will has many
things to learn i'm the stern school
of experience. 1t was out of Sc
we're discipline in obedience that the
great folk of the past have come.
Perhaps the contention of many
educators holds true that it has been
only the great characters that have
been able to emerge unspOiled out OF
the stultifying repression of educa-
tiOnal methods. The advocates OF
play education must prove by their
results that not only intelligence but
character is developed by the new
methods.
