That his very last day had come Grand
father Frog was sure. He didn't have
the least doubt about it. Here he was at
the mercy of Bowser the Hound out on
the Green Meadows far from the dear.
safe Smiling Pool. Every time he moved
Bowser Tipped him over on his back and
danced around him barking with joy 1t
was great fun for Bowser. Every minute
Grandfather Frog expected to feel Bow
sers terrible teeth and he grew cold at
the thought. When he found that he
couldn't get away he just lay still. He
was too tired and frightened to do much
of anything else, anyway.
Now, when he lay still he spoiled
Bowser's fun. for it was seeing him jump
and kick his long legs that tickled BoWser
so. Bowser tossed him UP in the air two
or three times. but Grandfather Frog
simply lay where he fell without moving.
Bow, WOW, wow cried Bowser in his
great deep voice. Grandfather Frog didn
so much as blink his great goggly eyes.
Bowser shifted him all over.
Il guess I've frightened him to DEATH"
said Bowser. talking to himself. Il didn't
mean to do that. just wanted to have
some fun with him." With that Bowser
try to find something more exciting. You
see he hadn't had the least intention In
the world of really hurting Grandfather
Frog.
Grandfather Frog kept perfectly still
until he was sure that Bowser was no.

of relief and crawled under a big mullen

ne had been through. Nothing like that
ever happened to me in the Smiling Pool.
I've always said that the Smiling Pool
is better place in which to live than out
In the Great World and now l know 1t.
The question is, what had best do
now?'
Now right down in his heart Grand
father Frog knew the answer. Of course
the best thing to do was to go straight
back to the Smiling Pool as fast as he
could. But Grandfather Frog is stubborn.
Yes. sir. he certainly Is stubborn.
And .tubborIlness is often just another
name for fooiishness. He had told Jerry
Muskrat that he was going out to see
the Great World. Now. IL he went back
Jerry would laugh at him.

"What. won't you do?' asked voice
81 close to him that Grandfather Frog
made long jump before he thought. You
see at the Smiling Pool he always jumped
at the least hint of danger, and because
one jump always took him into the water
he was always safe. But there was no
water here and that Jump took him right
out where anybody passing could see
him. Then he turned around to see who
had startled him so. 1t was Danny

FIRE PREVENTION.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

According to the opinions of experts
fully one-half of the fires in the United
States are either due to preventabie
causes or could have been checked be-
fore any material damage had been done
If the proper means had been provided
Consequently. fire prevention assumes a
more important place in the minds of
those who have given attention to the
subject than the means of protection after
the fire has been allowed to make head
way If no fire is started no protection
is required. In many parts of the coun-
try fire prevention organizations are
springing up. number have been or
ganized under the auspices of state or
municipal governments. The National
Fire Protective Association now has an
active committee devoted TO the organi-
zation of State Fire Prevention Associa-
lions. Such organizations cooperate with
the state fire marshal, with workshops
and factories, and also with the state
board of health, i'm securing interest In

America the wonder is not that fires are
so frequent, but that they are 80 rare
Each day fires occur in houses from inc

with his lighted stove and an explosion
and fire resulted. In some cities now the
street cars are placarded with the ad-
vertisement of anon-infiammable cleansing
fluid bearing the words For safety sake

restriction prevents the sale of gasoline,
excepting for specified purposes, the dam
gers from its use in the home will con-

Many fires have originated from spon-
taneous combustion of oil-soaked rags
used for cleaning floors or furniture.
Water is foe to fire, but dampness is
not, because it aids the combination of
oxygen with infiammable material. For
this reason such rubbish left in damp
cellar may frequently start fire. In a
record of fire causes kept in Rochester
for two months. nearly fourth of them

its distinct lines of work has been to
secure the cooperation of the board Of
education In providing course of primal
education in the public schools as to
the causes of fire, how to guard against
them, how to extinguish incipient fires
and how to hold them in check while
awaiting the response of the fire depart
ment Many of these children are of
foreign descent Their parents may be
unable to read the English language and
thus are rarely familiar with the printed
fire regulations. Talks are given by COM
petent firemen in which the fire alarm
system is explained and the uses of the
small fire extingushers found in most
public buildings is demonstrated. AS a
result of the instructions given in school
a boy in Norwalk pulled an alarm for
a fire he saw in a large grain elevator.
He cut his finger upon the glass of the
box but by reason of his prompt action
a conflagration was checked. In Ohio,
Montana, Nebraska and Iowa special pro-
vision has been made for the systematic
instruction of school children in fire pre-
vention.
Considerable literature upon the sub
ject is being prepared. Two circulars
have been used in New England entitled
please Learn To- and please Don't"
The Please Learn TO- circular invites
every individual to learn TO locate the
fire alarm nearest him. to send in fire
alarm to speak distinctly when calling
the fire department by telephone. to use
a fire extinguisher and number of other
things that will help to secure prompt
attention when the fire department is
needed.

Plans to Minimize
Danger in Buildings.


are among the most important fire pre-
ventive measures to be put into effect
I'm this country. One reason for the large
number of confiagrations in this country
as compared to Europe is that buildings
i'm Europe contain less infiammable mate
rial. In some countries they are chiefly
of stone, beca use wood was not SO plenti-
full as il has been here. 1t is now pos
sible to construct buildings of concrete or
hollow tiles in this country as cheaply as
of wood and those about to build should
carefully consider their advantage in fire
prevention.
The national board of fire underwriters
has established laboratories for the test
ing of all kinds of material as we'll as
appliances used in modern buildings. Any
manufacturer can have his product tested
by them and if approved be furnished
with a certificate to that effect. The
laboratories have tested all kinds of
building materials, skylights. lighting fix
lures. liquid fuel. heating, cooking and
welding apparatus, electric wiring ap-
paratus, waste receptacles and the like.

fires in stoves with kerosene not to put
hot ashes in wooden boxes or barrels. not
to use gasoline for cleaning in a closed
room, not to allow rubbish to accumulate
in Railways and corners, not to leave
matches lying around. not to fail to look
twice at anything resembling the begin
ming of a fire, or to fail to notify the
chief of the fire department of anything
you may see which is dangerous and liable
to cause fire Remember that every day
is fire prevention day
The national board of fire underwriters
urges governors and state fire marshals
to set aside fire prevention day in which
every possible effort shall be made to
teach the people at large, including fac
tory workers and school children, how to
minimize the danger of fire as well as
how to suppress and evade it. The gov
errors are urged to appoint such day
by proclamation. calling attention to the
enormous annual fire waste in this coun-
try. and urging the citizens to take steps
to reduce it. Appropriate exercises can
be held In the public schools. This day
can be in conjunction with the cleanup
day which is now becoming so generally
popular. 1t can be explained that the
cleaning up of rubbish is a most effective
means of fire prevention, as some of the
greatest CONGREGATIONS upon record have
been caused by the dropping of spark
upon a pile of dry leaves, paper, rags or
other trash

Methods Employed
to Enforce Orders

deputy fire chief was placed at its head.
The elimination of rubbish was the first
step. Thousands of orders We're issued
compelling owners and tenants to clean
up neglected corners. Smoking pro-
hibited" signs were tackled in all large
non-fireproof buildings, and steps were
taken toward enforcing this rule. The
remedying of dangerous exits was taken
up, and last year over 1,SO0 orders were
issued calling for improvements in this
direction. Fifty thousand placards en-
phasizing the danger of careless handling
OF matches and instructing housewives
how TO fight fire in their homes were dis
tributed throughout the city.
An exhaustive investigation of incen-
insurance of the city was also made This
proved that at least % per cent of the
fires of the city were due to this cause,
and a sudden cessation of fires in certain
localities followed the qualification of the
report upon arson and the subsequent
conviction OF a large number of firebugs,
crooked adjusters and agents. upon the
evidence furnished by the men who con-
Quoted the investigation. 1t was shown
that some fire insurance companies made
