WANTS FALSE ALARM
PENALTY GREATER
Fire Board Urges the Council
= to Increase Fine
to $500

The council committee on streets
was asked by the Ore commissioners.
Monday, through Secretary Stockwell.
to Increase the penalty for ruthlessly
breaking tho glasses In fire alarm
boxes and turning In false alarms.
The penalty at present is 500 or six
months In the workhouss. and II was
suggested that this be- increased TO
$500 or six months imprisonment, the
maximum possible sentence for mis-
demeanors. When the legislature
meets the commission will recomme end
the passage or law which would
make the offense punishable with a
fine or $4,000 and imprisonment for
two years.
The necessity for stringent regula-
ton was shown by Stockwell, who In
formed the committee that during tho
week ending Oct. 20. the glasses IN
20 boxes were broken and Ave false
alarms turned In. During the last
week in October fifteen glasses were
broken and three false alarms turned
In; during the first week In November
"a glasses were broken and seven
false alarms turned In and 30 on
through the month.
Stockwell informed the committee
that In many instances the glasses IN
the same boxes were broken twice In
one week and false alarms turned In.
One such false alarm caused the COLI
sion between Engine No. IL and q
street car, resulting In the serious In
juring OF Driver Michael Shanahan
and Pipoman John A. keefe.
The committee was agreed that the
situation was serious enough to war
rant instructng the corporation coun.
sci 10 draw counsel to draw the most
dsartic measure possible for an ordi-
nance.
This committee also considered
Health Oflcer Kiefer's request for an
ordinance empowering the Board oil
Health TO destroy all dogs exposed to

son. veterinary surgeon, opposed
such regulation. He said that II q

said a rabied dog becomes partially
blind, and very often in attacking an
other dog, merely overturns him. H.
said II Is difficult matter to show
that the dog Is bitten, especially the
long-haired dogs, and he would no
kill dogs which merely come In con

Gacturers for the purpose OF protect
ing themselves from loss under the

formed, Saturday, in the Hotel Girls
.Wo old. The association will meet again

sity for safety devices, the need OF
instructing their employees in the

formulation OF plans for taking bel

Mr.. Smith read a list OF questions
which will probably come before the
industrial commission for decision,
and spoke OF the necessity OF obtain
ing favorable prececents. He said
hat presidents had been established

some Of the questions are:

WHAT IS PHILANTHROPY

Some people have a queer idea of
philanthropy. Leon Mandel, who died
In Chicago recently, leaving a fortune
of several millions, bequeathed $50. 900
to the clerks employed in his store.
On the face of 1t this is a munificent
gift 1t will probably make it nos
sible to lessen the burdens that the
clerks in at least one department store
have to bear. Were it be divided among
the individual clerks. each one would
probably receive $50
But looking at the proposition in an
other light would 1t not have been bet
ter II Mandel had distributed this
amount, and more, to his clerks during
his lifetime
1t is notorious fact that the clerks
in the department stores in the large
cities are underpaid. 1t is said that
when girl complains that 81 or IS a
week will not support her and enable
her to dress in the manner required
by the management of the store. she
is informed that she can not expect to
receive enough to fully support her.
She must look elsewhere to keep body
and soul alive. 1t is an appalling fact
to consider where some of them look.
In the case of the girl whose par
ents reside in the city she Is expected
to live at home. The girl who IS alone
in great city must go to cheap lodg-
ing houses, board for as little as pos
sible. and make up the deficit at the
end of the week by soul and body de-
stroying drudgery or by the character
wrecking commercialization of self.
Confronted by the dire necessity OF
providing the ordinary necessities of
life the average girl in such circum-
stances follows the lines of least re-
sistance.s4She takes the road to ruin
So when Leon Mandel gave $4,000
to the clerks in his store It is save to
say that the gift did not begin to COM
pensate for the ruin that has resulted
from the underpaying Of his employees
1t Is probably true that Mandel paid
his clerks wages that were above the
average, that he allowed them the
usual discounts on the clothes they
purchased in his store, that he paid
them bonuses in form of commissions
on their sales, bat the point is that
real philanthropy would have prompt
ed him to take some steps for the
permanent alienation of condition
that is nothing short OF terrible when
a view in perspective is taken of the
wrongs that are wrought as a result
of the employing of underpaid girls.

WHY THEY ARE POOR.

Their ideas are larger than their
purses.
They are easy dupes of schemers
and promoters.
They reverse the maxim, Duty be-
fore pleasure
They have too many and too ex-
pensive amusements.
They do not think it worth while
to save nickels and dimes.
They have risked a competence in
trying to get rich quickly.
They allow friends to impose up
on their good nature and generosity.
They try to do what others expect
OF them, not what they can afford
They prefer to incur debt rather
than to do work which they consider
beneath them.
They think 1t will be time enough
to begin to save for a rainy day when
the rainy day comes
They risk all their eggs in one
basket, when they are not in a posi-
tion to watch or control it.-Success.
