Advantage of Small Town to Girl.

There are in many small towns in
the average small town, | would say
a limited outlook, a narrow way Of
seeing life, lack of breadth, a lack of
energy. There are few social advan
tages, we think; for teas and lunches
and receptions and balls, which flourish
in large cities, are much the exception.
One might go on a good deal further in
naming limitations and disadvantages
of life in a small town, and yet from a
wider experience and fuller knowledge,
! can now say to you, nevertheless,
that it is strongly my opinion and con
viction, that the small town girl has, as
rule, far more opportunities and far
more chances for success in life, than
the girl brought up in the city.
Just what are these chances? Most
Of them may in a general way be in
cluded in those two main opportunities
which are to be found in most small
towns; namely, greater leisure for inn
provement and culture, and greater
freedom to develop along original lines,
The average city girl is poor in time;
the average town girl is rich in it. Life
in a great city, even to a girl who is
not self-supporting, is a good deal Of a
strain. The variety Of interests, the
contact with many lives-the mere
sights and sounds continually playing
upon the nerves and the attention, are

The actual inaugural time was pre-

augural ceremonies were held with
the utmost simplicity.

of the supreme court, administered

chief justice, and r. A. Burch, rank

the oath at the beginning of new
terms, so Justice Mason, the third ED

to give the oaths for all the officers.

FIRE BUGS COMPETE FOR JOBS
INCENDIARIES BID AGAINST EACH
OTHER IN CHICAGO.
Fire Marshal Declares There is a
Fixed Rate for Fires in the
City.

Chicago.-With the indictment of
Joseph Clarke for an alleged attempt
to bride an assistant states attorney
not to prosecute an arson case as
text, A. A. Bach, chief deputy state
fire marshal, told a remarkable story
of organized incendiarism. Chicago
has the highest fire insurance rate of
any city in the country, and 10 per
cent of it's fires are incendiary, Bach
said.
THE incendiaries are not banded
together as one gang he said. but
there are several gangs at work and
the rivalry among the different bands
is as keen as is the competition be-
tween any class of tradesmen. There
are three men in Chicago known as
insurance adjusterS who often get to
fires before the fremen. They sleep
with their clothes on, have rsotor
cars in readiness, and receiving tips
that a fire is about to be started, are
on their way almost before an alarm
comes in
THE adjusters do not actually start
fires themselves; they employ men to
do that-men who actually solicit the
business. The adjusters make their
money by adjusting the losses. De-
tectives and firemen generally know
the name of the arson firm that is re
sponsible for each fire 1t is nothing
unusual for a fireman to say, This
is a fire. or Mr.. was re
sponsible for this touchoff.'
I'VE are often informed days in ad-
vance of when fires are to be started, .
continued Bach. I'm that way We are
able to prevent many blazes. 1t is
possible for anyone to get a building
burned in Chicago. There are fixed
charges for the work and the man who
desires to burn his property will find
incendiaries bidding against each 9TH
er for the job. For small firms there
is regulation charge of 20 per cent
of the insurance collected. Charges
vary according to the magnitude of
the fire. I do not know a single con-
viction for arson in Chicago in the
last eighteen months
