the preliminary advertisement had
really wrecked the whole enterprise

Locked Factory Doors.

One of the results of the Triangle
shirtwaist factory ire in New York, a
couple of years ago, was q sta tutory
prohbi ion of the fastening of factory
! d ors, b cause one of the principal
causes Of the awful list of fatalities in
that disaster was that the girls could
not get out.
But the legislation and the consid
erati ons CT humanity which prompted

of some of the manufacturers. One
of the owners Of the Triangle was in
court the other day on a charge of
violating the law. The extenuating
/ circum lance he urged was that the
door W S only fastened with a chain
on he inside and, while entrance was
prevented, exit was easy upon throw
| ing off the fastening. The judge
apoicg zed to the defendant for the
necessity the law put upon him OF
imposing any penalty, and let him off
with the minimum fine of $40.
| Is the law unrt asonable in forbid
ding even the fastenings that can be
thrown off on the inside? Most fire
ordinances and laws forbid doors
opening inward. In the excitement
and crowding around the exit after
an alarm Of fire is raised 1t may be
impossible to open a door inward.

could use. But certainly two doors
are better than one when a factory Is
on fire Two owners of factories in
New York have just been assessed
the maximum fine of $50 for having
their factory doors locked Three
Judges have expressed the opin on
that the law ought to make the lock-
ing of doors miSdemeanor. They
would then have the power of i'm
posing no penalty or q nominal one
where there was only a technical vfo-
lation of the law, and u really ade-
auate penalty where the violation is
substantial and tlagrant. All agreed
that the maximum penalty of a $50
fine was utterly inadequate where
the fastening of the doors cut off
escape. And the inspectors are fird-
ing dozens of scores of factories with
fastened doors.
The door is fastened 10 save the

factory owners are willing to expose
their employees to the danger Of

These Judges saw that a few prison
penalties would break up the prac-
tise. which flourishes now as 1t did
before the Triangle fire. Of locking

The Gentry minister's salary.

The minister is paid when the

paid. This leaves the books clear"
That was at the end of the year
Usually the minister is paid when
the money comes IN, which may be
once in two or three months, or
twice a year; and l have known in
stances where the payment waits the

Sometimes there is an agreement
that the minister shall be paid quar-

Come forth, and brave the Northern sky
Old comrade of the travelled ways.
For 'twixt your battered covers lie,
On pages scored with note and phrase
The memories of enchanted days.
Your legend, while our gray fogs drift,
And while our angry sunsets frow,
Can, like Aladdins carpet, lift
The dreamer up, and set him down,
In Lombard plain Tuscan town.
Where shall we wander? Where abide?
Somewhere with olive and with vine,
BY Tiber or by Arno SIDE
BY Marks or Miniato's shrine
On Pincian on Palatine?
Lead us through churches those and these,
The Fountains, where the silence falls
Among the eucalyptus trees;
Show St. Peters or ST. Paus
In Fetters Without the Walls
Come where Benozzo Gozzoli
Makes the Rccardi chapel glow
With ranks of gorgeous Medici
Or where the convent cloisters show
Visions of Fra Angelica;
Or where the Adriatic wave
The tideway of the Sea-queen's power
Still murmurs round her earliest grave
And chants her requiem hour by hour
Beneath Torcellos lonely tower
With you in hand we turn to trace
Once more the Doges gloomy state
We feed the pigeons in the Place,
And board the gondoas that wait
Black shadows at the palace gate
Back to yourself; on many night
You bring for him who sits at home
Your Odyssey of sound and sight

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM

The following explanation from

and informative:
'In the first place, Portland cement

cement shows a high crushing resist

load without injury to itself, showing
no cracks or other elements of decay

Concrete implies the use of ce-
ment in conjunct on with sand and

Legal Linn Guage as a College Study.
From the New York World.
Professor McCracken, of the Eng
lish department at Yale, has an
nounced the surprising, amaz 'ng, as
founding belief that a student can
acquire accuracy in the use of Eng
fish by noting the language of the
statute books.
1t is well for Yale that this advice
is homemade. Had 1t been brought
from abroad it would have had TO
pay duty as imported steel ra llery.
Even when considered as domestic
product. it is hard to take it more
seriously than ordinary Connecticut
irony.
The confusion of legal language is
q proverb. The Interpretation of
statute is worse than souaring the
circle. The Supreme Court itself
never undertakes to make clear the
whole meaning of a federal law but
contents itself with deciding some
one phrase of it by majority vote.
Acts of State legislatures are conun-
drums to guess at, and as for alder
manic ordinances. he that would
study them for excellence of English
had better hunt black cats up blind
alleys in the dark of the moon.
If such means be imposed in the
study of English. it is not strange
that most students prefer to play
football. and that some of them in
recent examination. as Professor Me-

believes lust what he thinks" and
