MUNICIPAL NEWS
Some Items of Interest From tho
Public Offices About Occur.
ranoes of the Week.

Necessity of an appropriation for
the city's bureau of fire prevention
and public safety was pointed out on
Monday by Alderman Albert j.
Fisher.
Alderman Fisher spoke before the
members of the Englewood Woman's
Club. He estimated that an appro.
priation Of at least 100000 should
be made for the bureaus work next
year.
Municipal fire prevention" said
the speaker, 'is a great problem. This
bureau, II properly equipped, will pre-.
vent so per cent of the present fire
losses. I was told by Fire Marshall
Seyferlich and Assistant Marshal
Mcdonnell, the latter chief Of the
bureau, to say that every citizen
should use his or her efforts to have
the city appropriate sufficient money
to get the bureau working next year"
The bureau was created several
months ago. Whatever money Is ap.
propriated for Its use next year will
be made by the finance committee of
the city council when 1t considers the
annual budget.

At the meeting Monday the meas.
ure was amended SO as to allow the

Fair Bathers and Big Rats Use Beach

Many bathers, while walking along
the beach, have suddenly stepped into
holes which the rats have dug, and
have been filed with dismay when,
with angry squeal, large gray and
brown rats have turned and snapped
at them.
John J. Morgan, manager of COM
pany which is engaged in the work of
DISCRIMINATING vermin, stated that it
was not an unusual thing for rats to
take up their abode along the lake
shores in summer. The hundreds of
dead fish which are cast up by the
waves, he said, attract the rats in
large numbers. "The rats burrow in
the sand, at the foot of the banks, in
large numbers" said Mr.. Morgan.
"Then, too, the hot weather may have
something to do with the condition.
The rats will swim out in the water in
hot weather and will also make their
homes in the wet sands along the edge
of the water"
The rats in many cases are extreme
ly large and savage, and threaten to
attack PERSONS who disturb them.

Fish Coal Out of the Susquehanna

D PHILADELPHIA. = When coal is
i needed on a Pennsylvania farm
bordering the Susquehanna river, little
Johnnie does not grab his coal bod
and scoot for the cellar. Instead he
unfastens his boat, pulls out into the
river and fishes till his bod is over
flowing.
To be sure, Johnnie doesn't fish with
rod and line, nor yet with net. His
apparatus consists of wire scoop,
shaped like a shovel and not dissim-
liar to a minnow net, with an eight
foot handle And his boat is broad,
hat-bottomed affair, sometimes with
sharp bows, built like scow, with the
maximum of capacity and the mini
mum of draught; for the coal fishers
catch is usually made in shallow wa
ter.
And the catch is unlike any coal you
ever saw. This run of the river coal
comes in all sizes, from little flakes to
chunks as big as your head. But most
Iy It Is smaller than pea coal. Coal

Protect the Snake.

Accentuating the idea in an editorial
n The Sunday Star that birds should
)e protected as they are the farmers
,riends, and their destruction would be
ollowed by the destruction of the hui

hat snakes should also be protect

instructive:
Legislation to protect snakes that

loxious to farmers is being sought

1. D. Bailey of Muhlenberg college, a
Pennsylvania institution. In a recent

III valuable allies of the farmer and
commended efforts to increase the
lumber of bull snakes, which, though
arge, are harmless and abound in
ZONE western states.
AS mans knowledge of nature in

Commercial Politics.

Commerce forms a numerous class
friends of external peace and internal
tranquility, who attach themselves tc
the established government
1t creates great fortunes, which IL
republics become the origin of the
most forceful aristocracies. As a rule
commerce enriches the cities and
their inhabitants, and increases the
laboring and mechanical classes, in
opening more opportunities for the
requirement of riches. To an extent
1t fortifies the Democratic element
in giving the people of the cities
greater influence in the government
1t arrives at nearly the same result
by impoverishing the peasant and land
owner, by the many new pleasures of.
fered him and by displaying to him
the ostentation and voluptuousness OF
luxury and ease. 1t tends to create
bands of mercenaries rather thar
those capable of worthy personal serv
ice. 1t introduces into the nation
luxury, ease and avarice at the same
