destructive school fires appear to be building in the same old way.
 State regulation is coming more and more to be considered the only way of solving this and other press ing school problems. In more than half the states central authority over schOolhouse construction is now eX- plicitly recognized by law even though it may not be exercised. According to COOper's list. nineteen states now require that plans for new school houses be first approved by the state authorities Twelve specify fire es- capes. Seventeen states are listed by Cooper as entirely without fire re Guirements for schools: Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Ken lucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebras- ka, New Mexico, Oklahoma, oregon, Tennessee, Texas. Wisconsin and Wyoming. It should be noted, how ever, that in many of these states the population is mainly rural and the fire problem is not so serious
 It is pointed out that the rapid spread of the school l-social- center movement, which involves extensive use of the school buildings by the general public outside of school hours make it more important than ever to insist upon adequate fireproof con- structiOn in schOOls-Federal Bureau Of Chemistry.

SCHOOLS MENACED BY FIRE
Legislation Still Far From Adequate
 for Their Protection

Surprisingly little provision for fire proof school buildings is found in recent school legislation reported to the United States bureau of edu- cation. Notwithstanding the Collin wood fire horror of five years ago. and notwithstanding the wonderful development in schOOlhOuSe architect ure. which has made possible build ings that are artistic as well as safe. cities and towns in almost every sec ton of the United States continue to put up gingerbread schOOlhOuses and fire traps" that are a constant menace to the lives of school child ren.
 ohio is the one state in the union that has really complete system of control of safe schoolhouse design and construction, according to a table of state regulations prepared by Frank Irving Cooper, the Boston architect although several other states, notably Massachusetts and Kansas, are credited with adequate laws against the fire peril In Ohio, where the CollinWoOd holocaust has not been forgotten, a large corps of inspectors enforces a school building code that assures safety, at least as far as new buildings are concerned.
 Most communities appear to be still ObliViOus of the fire risk in schools. Insurance Engineering pub fishes d long list of localities in which dangerous fire conditions exist; an other appalling list of school fires that have occurred within the last fifteen months; and still another list of cities that are erecting school buildings this year, together with the significant fact as to whether fire proof construction is specified or not. Out of 23S school buildings noted for one month in 1913, only twenty-two are reported with fireproof specifi- cations. Cities that have just had

These citizens are in doubt as to the desirability, for ir stance, of the introduction of the re- call, the referendum, or the initiative, into state wide or nation wide matters, yet are quite willing to establish the rule of the people in municipal affairs through the introduction of suitable forms of these expedientS They doubt whether minimum wage legislation, in the form which it has taken in some of the nations of the world, in consOnant with our economic and political theO- ries. or they doubt whether our cOndi- tions yet call for the enactment of such legislation in the state of New York;
 yet they readily acquieSce in our view that every large city should begin at once to do it's part and make it's con- trbutiOn toward solving the problem
 of the minimum wage, through the es-
 tablishment of suitable educational fla
 cilties for vocational and "continua-
 ton" training, along lines which will
 give every boy and girl chance for
 schooling of practical value. thereby
 obviating the possibility that he or she
 will ever be a problem for the student
 of the minimum wage. Many citizens
 who are not vet prOgressiVes, with
 either a large or a small P, in national
 affairs, are liberals of demonstrated
 tendencies in municipal matters. It is
 surely desirable that all citizens who agree on these fundamental matters of
 municipal policy. and who desire to work for substantially the same ends in
 municipal affairs. should come together and act together in the war against
 both the forces of reaction and privil- ege and the forces of sheer corruption and laWlessnesS.
 This has nothing whatever to do with party amalgamation, and to be success fuI 1t must have nothing whatever to Go with that kind of fusion which con sists merely in dickering for division of offices among various political organi- zatons. It must represent the joint ac- tiOn of decent citizens, irrespective of their several attitudes on national po- ltics, on behalf of a platform plainly expressing the fundamental needs of tI, eli nal of candidates, whose characters and ex- pressed convictions are such that the sincerity of their acceptance of the platform is evident.

RED PEPPERS
Even They Have Not Escaped the
 Spirit of Investigation

The same variety of red peppers, grown under different climatic and cultural conditions yields products adapted to different uses We inn pOrt wild chillies from Zanzibar, gath cred by a semi-ciVilized population and dried on the ground, so that they come to us covered with dirt and sand and must be cIeansed be- fore grinding. They are ground and used principally as spices. On the other hand. the cultivated Japanese chillies are used unground in the preparation of chiIi sauce Similarly the Hungarian paprika is prizcd as spice, while the Spanish papriki has distinct commercial use as a col oring for such products as sausage and ketchup.
 The investigators of the bureau sought to determine the normal com position of the various red peppers. with special reference to the devia- tions in amounts of ash, sand. other extract and crude fiber and also to study the distinctive OdOr, flavor and taste, that the part of the fruit to which the characteristic properties are due may be known. Another ob- jcct has been to investigate the ef- It'l OII tIltt CplllD lDpSlllpn or ground pepper of including or excluding seeds or stems, for the purpose of detecting their presence or absence.
 An interesting point noted is that the pungent principle occurs almost exclusively in the placenta. thin membranous partition inside the shell. In some cases, however. q better re- sUlt is obtained by grinding the seed with the rest of the fruit, as the oil freed in this way dissolves the color of the product and apparently develops the flavor and aroma-Fed- eral Bureau of Education

 The publication of this confession has vitalized the heretofore rather lansuid investigation being conducted hy the senate committee. There is an immediate demand for a thorough probe which, with the lead furnished by the confession of the lobbyist and the mass of correspondence which is reported to be in his possession ought to result in a definite uncover iEG of the invisible government
 What is already disclosed bears out the charge so long made by the prog ressives that the republican party was under the control of the special in tercsts and was dominated by the in visible government. Representative Victor Murdock, floor leader of the proSressives in the house and one of those whom the invisible government hated because he constantly fought if is urging upon the house the neces- sity of an immediate and thorough investigation.
 Mere denals will not serve to brush aside these charges" he said. They must be sifted to the bottom. and either sustained or proved false by the preponderance of the evi- dence.
 "Congressmen cannot afford to e1uiVocate. The investigators must probe to the very root of the matter The thing for every congressman to be asking himself while these charg- es are being probed is how are we going to purge this body of corrup- tionists? How can we make it i'm possible for such a state of things to continue? How can we keep such men out of congress 9"

generation not entirely forgotten yet
was Christopher Carson, popularity
known as Kit Carson, who was born
in Kentucky, December "a. 1909, re-
moved to Missouri while a child and
became famous hunter, trapper,
scout and Indian fighter. Colonel
John C. Fremont used him as a guide
in his explorations and later he was
very serviceable to the government in
making treaties with the Indians.
During the Civil War he rendered
great service to the Union in New
Mexico, Colorado and the Indian Ter
ritory, and was brevetted brigadier-
general in 1867. He visited Wash

GOOD JOKE is TOLD

on the sunny side of 40 he was din
ing with some half dozen well-known
business men in a hotel in New York.
After dinner, amid a fire of jokes
and personalities, a voice from the
foot of the table called out solemnly:
Andrew, if you We're to die now,
what would they sing at your flu
reral?"
"Let me See" said Mr.. Carnegie.
thoughtfully. Il once heard a piece,
called Angels Ever Bright and Fair,
that struck me as mighty pretty.
How would that fill the bill?''
"Guess again, Andrew. Nothing
like that in yours"
"Well, l give up said Mr.. Carne-
gle, in resigned tone; that's what
you want me to do anyhow. What's
it to be-"
Quick as a flash, amid the silence
that for the first time that evening
reigned in the room, came the an
swer;

Her Sculpture.

A French woman who is wealthy
and noted as a generous entertainer
of artistic folk has herself some am
bition to shine as an amateur sculp-
tor. A Paris paper has told how this
clever woman managed to have a
piece of work accepted by an art
jury. One day she invited master
sculptor to dinner. After the dessert
she said, carelessly: "Come and see
my little figure; it does not quite
come up to my idea"
They passed into the atelier, where
the sculptor gave few preparatory
touches to the figure.
Some days later she invited an
other sculptor to dinner. Again the
atelier was visited.
Not bad; not at all bad said this
artist. and generously gave the fig
ure few useful touches. After sew
eral seances Of this kind the good
lady was not ashamed proudly tc
acknowledge the complete work al
her own.
