PREPARED TO ENJOY BLAZE.
Instead of Turning in Alarm, Peo-
pie Watched Fire.

NEW YORK, May 27-Instead OF giving
an alarm when a spectacular blaze started
in a cooperage shop in the Brooklyn East
Side just before midnight. hundreds Of
people living in the surrounding tene-
ments climbed TO the roofs and prepared
to watch the illumination. The flames
after a time mounted so high that they
were seen from firehouse several
blocks away and squad of apparatus
was hurried to the scene.
BY the time the apparatus arrived the
fire was raging so fercely that -four
alarms were turned in. The firemen sue
ceeded in preventing the spread OF tho
fire to adjoining buildings, but the coop
erage shop was burned to the ground.

that it perfectly practicable to prevent most of this loss OF

Mr. Joseph Holiness director of the bureau of Mines declares
that hreefourhs of this loss can be easily prevented
In view of these facts it becomes question whether these ia
aes which be readily forseen and easily prevented
ought to be called accden day we may come to regard
them as little better than murders
While the average death rate from mining accidents

WOULD MAKE
THEATERS
MORE SAFE
MAYOR LACHMUND ADVIZES TAX.
ING EVERY PRECAUTION TO
MAKE THEATERS ABSOLUTELY
SAFE, AND TO PUT IN MORE
HYDRANTS.

Calling attention to the dangerous
condition of the theaters in the city
in the event Of a fire, Mayor Lach-
mund sent a message to the council
last night asking that special COM
mittee be appointed to investigate
conditions and report to the council
at an early date, and complying with
the request, Acting Mayor Rigdon
appointed on the committee Council
man Constable, Pemberton and
Brown.
The mayor in his message de-
clared that the fire and water COM
mittee had failed to investigate this
subject, and because of this he de-
sired the appointment of a special
committee. In the message he inn
pressed it upon the members of the
council the dangers which the people
were facing every time they attended
show in some of the show houses
because Of their failure to provide
safeguards, and that the councils
duty now is to fully investigate all
phases of the situation and take ac-
ton.
The mayor was in attendance but a
short while at the council last night,
resigning the chair to Councilman
Rigdon, but before departing took oc-
caslon to declare his views on anoth-
er subject pertaining to fire matters
and that was the installation Of fire
hydrants in the city Councilmen
Waring declared that after the con-
struction of the cistern on Front
street and the installation of a few
more hydrants, the fund would be ex-
hausted and asked the council to ex-
press itself as to whether 1t favored
giverting money from other funds and
proceed with the installation Of fur
ther hydrants which were necessary.
81 do not think economy should
play any part when II comes to the
city's fre protection declared the
mayor in speaking on the subject,
"The cost of the installation of hy-
drant is only about R75, and what is
that when by It's installation thou
sands of dollars of property may be
saved, do not believe that the city
can afford to feel niggardly on this
subject but believe that it should pro-
coed and install hydrants wherever
they are necessary, and the money for
their installation will come from
some place" The council seemed ia
favor the plan, but as II will come up
later, definite action was deferred on
1t until then.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
AT SMALL COST

A Simple Remedy Beautifes the Hair,
Cures Dandrufi, Stops Falling Hair.
What q pity It is to see 30 many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded
or streaked with gray, and realize
that most of these people might have
scft, glossy, abundant hair of beauti-
ful color and lustre If they would but
use the proper treatment. There is
EO necessity for gray hair under Go
years of age, and there is no excuse
for anyone, young or old, having thin,
struggling hair, either full of dan
druff or heavy and rank smelling with
excessive oil.
You can bring back the natural
color of your hair in a few days and
forever rid yourself of any dandruff
and loose hairs, and make your hair
grow strong and beautiful by using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair rem
edy. For generations common gar
den sage has been used for restoring
and preserving the color Of the hair;
and sulphur is recognized by scalp
specialists as being excellent for
treatment of hair and scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get a
fifty cent bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and no.

About Public Playground.
(From Statesman, Tuesday,

The social center meeting of the
parents in the Englewood school
ward on April 26 did much to arouse
a deep and spreading interest in the
playground movement When the
Yow Park school gathering followed
last Wednesday with more discussion
and some demonstrations, 1t became
widely felt that some definite action
should be taken and q playground es-
tablished.
II would seem that the Englewood
people have long felt this need, and
ever since their last meeting their
committee has been planning to make
this next meetlng-Frlday evening
May 81, at s O'clock -culmlnate in
something definite, The citizens Of
that part Of the city are quite anxious
to combine forces with the school
board or the city council or both, Ia
the end that Salem be credited with
at least one well organized and well
equipped public playground.
Dr, Joseph schafer Of the Unlver-
city Of Oregon while addressing the
gathering on April 20, on the subject
Of Fairgrounds, said that Eugene
made a big mistake by attempting too
many Fairgrounds and thus being un-
able to manage any OF them as they
should be managed He argued for
the needs Of the children during va
cation and showed that the organized
place to play filled the need, stating
at the same time that no city once
having experimental in this line ever
again closed these places to the chill
dren during the needy season.
Many large cities throughout this
country have many millions Of doll
lars invested in such grounds and
equipment and are establishing 9TH
ers and making further provision
each year. They believe that the d.
rectlon Of the minds and actions OF
the boys and girls during vacation
times is one OF the most profitable
undertakings in which a city can pos
slbly invest,

Most of the troubles arising with
railroad companies comes from the
fact that station agents are not as
capable as they should be in the mat
ter of performing their duties" The
opinions of the station agents would
probably sum up to the effect that II
the railroad companies we're permit
ted to run their own affairs, as
business proposition, that there
would be less trouble. It's all the
rolnt OF view-and It makes a great

The Englewood people expect to
discuss other phases also, such per-
haps as shop work for the boy dur
ing a portion of the summer, and per-
haps also sewing or cooking for the
girls. They thoroughly believe that
all the uplifting and educational
forces and equipment should not be
idle during a third of the year. Every
body interested in this large move
ment should be present and enter
into the discussion and plans, The
launching Of such a work cannot but
do great deal fer the city Of Salem,
and there is no reason why it should
not be launched There are many
boys who would volunteer labor to
prepare all the necessary ground. The
shop class could make most of the
eQuipment,as it would be of inexpen-
siye material. And most important of
'all are the instruGtors-a man for the
boys of medium and large sizes, and
a lady, or two, II necessary, for the
smaller tots, and, If desired, a man
for the shop. And we have them all
right here in the city, and they are
especially prepared for just such
work. We believe they could be Sc
cured during that season very rea-
sonably. Let us hope that the work
may be started.
