In a West Twentieth street loft building

ing yesterday afternoon. There was a
moment OF silence and then hundred
or more girls shrieked out their fear
Before any one could quiet them they
were running about clingins to each
other and working their way to the open
windows.
Down in the street a man heard the
cries. Ono glance at the twelve story
loft building at No. i<3 and he was OF
to fire alarm at Sixth avenue. Then
the olang OF bells and shrek of sirens
the swift clatter OF hoofs and above It all
the voices of women calEng for help. But
level heads and careful drilling auieted the
panic. When the firemen arrived a thou
sand girls we're coming slowly down tho
fire escapes hardly seeming to know what
they did. but getting down.
Acting Deputy Chief smokey Joe
Martin and Battalion Chief MCGUIRE got
there quickly. They saw Immediately
that there was no FIRE and they and their
men got up the fire escapes to urge the
frightened women back. More than 1000
persons, mostly women, are employed on
the twelve floors OF the building. Many Of
those on me fire escapes went back when
the hrenen told them to. but the others
were not treasured until the building
was emptied Then they went back to
work.
Meanwhile Mary Goodman, n girl OF
Is. lay across her machine on the third
floor. Her hair had been torn from her
head and there was cash across her
face. Or. Kutil OF New York Hospital
was bending over her. and II was hard
for him to tell just what had hap

pick up a comb. and that was all she
remembered. She didn't want to go to
the hospital. she said, because her mother
was III and alone at their home at 2s6
Brook avenue, Tho Bronx. But she went
TO the hospital and It Is said there that
that she may not recover.

stnnninn the Procession.

The fact that the little we can do
to make the world better is small in
deed is often our excuse for doing
nothing, but it is a very poor excuse.
In reality it should be the very rea-
son why we should do our little and
do it up to the limit of our best pos
sible. The world is not made. better
all at once and by the big achieve
ments Of one or two; it is slow
process and the little goodnesses of
multitude of people combine to make
it possible. If it came easily and sud
denly and through individual effort
we might easily shoulder our respons-
Utility on some one else, but when it is
such a slow business at which a multi
tude must work then to neglect our
part is a sin and a crime. u cause it
is so little that the best of us can do,
it is all the more important that the.
little be done after the best fashion,
lest the whole process, so slow and
laborious at best, still stay and linger
for want of US. No, we ought not to
stop the procession.

A Huge Tuber SO Feet Higher Than
the Statue of Liberty and Weighing
Over 12o,ooo,o0o Pounds Would
Make Only a Weeks Supply of Po-
tatoes for the Kaiser's Fighting
Men.
ognized that food supplies may play
as important part in the winning or
losing of battles as ammunition,
craftsmanship and personal bravery.
With the thoroughness which is so
characteristic of their nation the Ger
mans have for years made the feeding
of their soldiers a matter of scientific
study. Their commissary department
is under the direction Of a group of
dietetic specialists who are admitted
to have no superiors and few equals.
The daily ration which they have
prescribed as the best fertilization for
a German fighting mans stomach in
cludes 26 ounces Of fresh bread, or
II ounces of biscuit; 10 ounces of
fresh meat, or seven ounces of
smoked meat; four ounces of rice, or
eight ounces of -four, or 50 ounces of
potatoes; nearly an ounce of salt;
nearly an ounce of roasted coffee, or
one-tenth of an ounce of tea, and half
an ounce of sugar.
The amount Of bread eaten in a
week by the German soldiers now in
the field would make a loaf 1913 feet
high and weighing 60,130,000 pounds.
A weeks supply of potatoes would
make a tuber 1873 feet high and weigh
Ing 120, 100000 pounds.
The figures given are for the stand
ard ration, which is probably very
different thing from that actually be-
ing consumed along the great battle
formation, where there is great f1exi-
bility as to the food to be used. 1t
is possible that pemmican Ca con-
densed meat product is entering into
the ration very largely. The kaiser
has always expressed lively interest
in his soldiers food, and he has not
infrequently ridden up to the field
bakeries and sampled the product Of
their ovens.
Some idea of the enormous expense
Of the war will be gained from the
fact that the daily cost of provisions
for the combined armies would be
$12,500,000, without the expense of
transportation, which would be $4,-
100000 more each day. These figures
were based on the prices of some
years ago, SO that Is per cent could be
added to the cost Of the food, making
the cost today $1S,750,O00, or $780,

sumption.

is AS OLD AS THE WORLD
Boy Problem Now, as Always, the
Most Vexing Question for
the Centuries.

Wars come and go, rulers fall from
power, but the boy problem is ever in
the public prints. Reading the contin-
uous lamentations with earnest atten-
ton, it seems that the boy is always in
danger of growing up and becoming a
man and that he must be watched very
closely. On the other hand, some of
'em become sissies, fate that is dis
tinctly more to be regretted, although
the uplifters say nothing about it. AS
sisting this pernicious instinct is the
boys own ardent desire to be man.
And that is only eXcelled by his DESIRE
when that happy estate is reached, to
become a boy again. The great joke
on every boy is the exchange of boy
hood for manhood, and to this all men
contribute, more out of a spirit of
cynicism and revenge than anything
else.
AS a matter of fact, the boy Of four
teen and sixteen knows more things
worth knowing and fewer things that
are best left unknown than the man Of
forty or sixty. The wisest thing in the
world is the boy in his early teens,
and his only folly at all is growing out
of them. Life is thoroughly complete
for the boy, and if only there were
no men to encourage an ambition to.
ward manhood's privileges, all would
be we'll. 1t is while he is Christopher
Columbusing around in those early
days that he learns all the human ma
ture there is. Relationships are very
direct and associations intimate. There
is little equivocation, and subtlety has
the frankness of earnestness instead
of the duplicity of deceit. Impressions
are vivid and the way to make a good,
steadfast, lifelong enemy is to give
needless offense to a boy of ten years
old.
The boy of today knows far more
than his father will ever suspect, but,
under careful tute1age and great pa
thence on the part of the son, the IA
theirs are doing better right along, and,
taken as a class, are improving dis
tinctly and with as much celebrity as
can be xpected.-Seatt1e Post-Intelli
gencer.

Why They Come Back.

The war correspondent had returned

Bravery Was Toothache.

While some old soldiers were telling
war stories one of them recalled a
curious incident He had a raging
toothache and the night before the
battle hardly slept a wink Next day
he was in line with his regiment, and
there was the usual nervous appre-
hension among the men, but he was
fully occupied. with his aching tooth.
Suddenly the fight was on, and with
a yell he started forward at the head
of the company. He yelled and
cheered and fought for two hours, and
when victory was won he was highly
complimented for his bravery. yet, -
said he, 1T wasn't bravery at all. 1t
was that awful tooth, and my desire
to do anything to Danish the jumping
pains!"
