About Fire Drills.

One of the pathetic lessons of the Binghamton fire which cost the lives of about half of the employees of clothing factory If that the call of the fire alarm bell meant little to the operatives and they took thelr places in the line formed to march out too slowly. They had been used to drilling, their employer said, and that they responded to the bell in good order bears him out, but they had not been used to good drilling.
 It should be the aim and object of every fire drill, whether in schoolhouse warehouse, or factory, to make record for speed and orderly department on the part of the persons drilling. in departing from the building or grounds. It is not a proper drill that simply acquaiuts em- ployes with the direction they should take to reach emergency or regular exits. It is not proper dril that allows them to get in the habit of responded slowly to the alarm. The drillmasters should maintain records to show just what the percentage of the persons endangered under the worst possible conditions would be if the factory. store or school was not emptied with the best of order within given period.
 The trouble with the fire drill is that it is too often regarded as sort of neces sary evil, a consumer of time that is money for employer and employe alike It takes a catastrophe to make it plain that the efficient fire drill and the eff cient fire escape equipment is the best possible investment tor employer and employe alike if human life is given any value.

DRUNKEN cHAuFFEURS.

The Boston Post thus editorializes on a topic of universal interest and vital importance
 The judgment of Judge Edward B. Pratt in the district court of Plymouth, imposing jail sentence instead of a simple fine upon drivers of automobiles rendered reckless by use of intoxicants, is to be commended. One of the offend CTS had run down a boy; others had caused alarm among pedestrians upon the highway.
 To make the punishment fit the crime" is indeed desirable in such cases. Responsibility of drivers under the in fluence of liquor cannot be condoned. The law recognizes this fact the courts should support and enforce the intent of the statutes. It is bad enough that an accession of 'speed madness" should lead to incurslon upon public safety it is inexcusable when the influence" is invited by indiscreet potations. ;.

The worst habit that boys can fall into IS that of loafng around on the streets at night. It is then they cast thelr lot in slippery places when at any moment they are likely to fall from grace. All good and noble lessons taught them by their mothers are there counteracted and nullified. They learn nothing that is good-but everything bad The boys who spend their evenings in the sacred precincts of home with good books for their companions are the future hope of the republic they will fill our legislative and congressional halls, and sit in jude- ment upon men and measures, while the boys who run the street will fill our peni- tentiaries, almhouses and lunatic asy. lums.
