WOMAN JUDGE HEARS HEART TEARING TALES

The child shivered a. though with
cold. The Judge took the little girl IN
her arms and cuddled her. Jennie
burst into tears. Judge Bartelme
whispered into the little girls ears
and crooned over her. IL was most
unjudicial proceeding.
Then Jennie sobbed out her story.
It was q story that ought to get half .
dozen rascals Of the South side whip
ped with q lead-tipped cat and then
imprisoned for life.
Thirteen years DID," commented
the Judge, as poor Jennie was taken
away to a place where there are some
more motherly women-"just baoe
In arms, that's all"
Then there was Mary olden-hair-
ed Mary with the frightened eyes.
"T want to be good want to be
good" the child sobbed. Just give
me q chance and see II don't"
A few minutes later Mary had re-
lated another story Of the way that
little girls are made over into evil
women before they are twenty and
Judge Bartelme was quietly issuing
papers that may land some OF the
girls tutors behind bars.
And are you telling mo the TRUTH
Mary?" Miss Bartelme asked.
Every word is true" answered the
child-"You are the first person /
nave ever told all the truth to since
I was old enough to tell . ie."
There Is no doubt Of the ehicacy
of the new plan," commented Judge
Bartleme. Girl children will not tell
their troubles to men. Most of these
poor children have no conception OF
the horrors they relate"

The place was small and there was
only one BARRIERS chair.

The American proceeded to set him

asked you to lie down on your back
on this couch. sir, instead of sitting
up In the chair? am sure can make

The American was lazy enough to
comply without protest and the shay

The American didn't mind. 1t was
worth it, for he has already told the
story a thousand times.

A spark-MakIna Alloy.

It is curious fact that when 70
per cent. of cerium is alleged with 30
per cent. of iron, the metal thus pro-
duced possesses the. remarkable
property of giving of shower Of
sparks when struck lightly by steel
wheel.
This substance has been used for
making auto-igniters for gas burners,
miners acetylene lamps, and cigar
lighters. It has been proposed to
utilize it for igniting motor headlights.
and even to employ it as substitute
for electric ignition in the cylinders.-

One of the things that pleases him

this would tend to keep money from

Big Demand
for Bulletins

has demonstrated the need Of brief,
inexpensive publications, which con-
vey useful information to practical
people in plain everyday English. At
first the growth was comparatively
slow, but at this time the number OF
bulletins has reached five hundred,
and the total output Is more than
ninety-eight million copies. .,-.
The growth Of the popularity of this
series of bulletins 10 not more clearly
illustrated by the total number dis
tributed than by the fact that the an
nual distribution has been increased
from 100000 in 1890 to nearly eleven
million in 1912, with an unsatisfied de-
mand for at least Ave million more
copies than the money at the depart
ment's disposal could supply. Schools
of all grades and institutions Of high
er education are using them in con-
,nection with their courses of instruc-
tion-a use that it is extremely de-
sirable to encourage by a generous
response to the increasingly large de-
mand.

FOREST FIRE LAWS |..I'|
Results Of First Years Operation

! Government During the Coming
Year-The Allotment 10 Fi0-

protection after the first years opers
alton OF the Weeks law have been
compiled by the forestsservice. the
weeks law called for cooperation be.
tween the federal government ana the
states In protecting the water sheds
of navigable rivers from forest nres.
A lump sum Of $4,000 was appropri'
ated to be expended In fire protec-
ton in the aid of such states "a had
IRE laws and protective system OF
their own. The amount to be spent
by the general government was to De
not greater than the amount Appropri'
sted by the several states.
Cooperation was invited by the gov
eminent as soon as the money was
available. Eleven states took part IN
the work last year. Maryland was the
most southern OF these states. Most
Of New England participated. and Wis
consin, Minnesota and Oregon also
took part. The total state expendi-
ture was SOL, 200, and the federal ex'
penditure $4,000. The allotment to
the states was larger than than, but
all Of the money was not expended.
The results were so good, however,
that more states have passed forest
fire laws, and more will cooperate
with the federal government during
the coming year. The allotment for
this cooperation is figured $7O,000.
The argument that was used by the
forest service in urging the co-opera-
ton of the states was the immense
fire loss annually in the forests OF tho
country. 1t Is estimated that there
are 100000 acres of forest burned
annually in the United States, and the
loss averages $20.000,00o. The loss IN
some of the states Is enormous. In
Wisconsin, for instance, in 1908, there
we're more than million acres burn
ed, and the loss was more than $1,000
900. In 1900 in the same state the
loss sank to 100000, but the next
year it rose to 100000.
Under the operation of the Weeks
law the fire patrols were strengthened
and the system of trails, telephones
and lookout stations was improved.
The patrolmen in the woods put out
small fires left by campers and fisher
men and warned all the parties that
they met of the danger of leaving any
sort of fire. More than 1000 such
warnings we're given.
Many of the private timber owners
have seen the advantage Of this sort
of fire insurance and have organized
mutual fire protective associations and
are contributing materially to their
support. 1t is hoped by the forest
service that all the states having for
ests will organize and participate IN
the work, because it is said that the
material returns from such invest.
ment are very large. IN s%. 49,.

Duluth Herald: Another rule of
reason has been laid down by the
United States supreme court in its
declaration Of the validity of the Chi
cago ordinance on the sale of bread.
The law prohibits the sale of short
weight loaves, and requires that ev-
cry loaf sold shall be labeled with
its weight.
Complaint against the ordinance
was made by a baker who asserted
that the ordinance interfered with the
freedom of contract guaranteed by
the constitution. The supreme court
declared that there is no absolute"
freedom in this respect. That local
authorities intrusted with the regula-
ton Of such matters as honest weight
and honest measure are the best
judges of what is right in such mat
ters, and that Chicago, through it's
police power, has the right to demand
honesty and openness in the sale of
bread to its citizens. The bakers
plea, the court declared, if sustained
would do away with Standardization
of weights and measures.
Here is rule of reason which the
people will understand and appreci-
ate to the full. It Is one which de-
clares in favor of a workingman's
getting his moneys worth when he
buys food for his family. 1t is more
than rule OF reason-it is a rule of
honesty. And incidentally the courts
decision will be vast help to other
cities that Chicago in enforcing
sQuart dealing by those whose busi-
ness is to supply the people with
the necessaries of life.
