made welcome. OF course if the people of Phoenix

MR.. MANpRAeoN, THE MILLIONAIRE

And used all his motors for canVasSing voters, anu

Cunning and neat ever was SEEM
With hundred pulleys and cranks between
Made of iron and kept quite clean,
To hoist him out of his heathfuf bed on every day

And wash him and brush him and shave him and
dress him to live the simple life
Mr. Mandragon was most refined and quietly neatly
dressed
Say all the American newspapers that know refine

Quiet and neat the hair and hat ana the coat quiet
and neat,
trouser worn upon either leg while boots adorned
the feet;
And not as anyone might expect
A tiger skin, all striped and specked,
And a peacock hat with the tail erect,
A scarlet tunic with sunflowers decked-
That might had more marked effect,
And pleased the pride of weaker man that yearned
for wine wife;
But fame and the fagon for Mr. Mandragon obscured
the simple life.
Mr.. Mandragon, the Millionaire I am happy to say
is dead.
He enjoyed quiet funeral in crematorium shed.
And he lies fluffy and soft and gray and GER

Or burnt on a big tall tower of wood,

A NEW ERA IN SOCIAL SERVICE

These queries which go right the self
interest of the worker and practically compel his
attention, which will then be held by the following
crisp demands, calculated arouse in him Tor her
especially herr some feeling of responsibility for
the doings of the other dwellers in the building and
some interest in its general condition:
DO you know these things?
If a fire broke in your house, what would

DO you know how to go down fire escape?
DO you know how to get to the roof?
DO you know whether you can get from your
own roof the house?
Are there clothes lines boxes. flower potts. tubs
or anything else the fire which would
hinder you?
DO you know how to get from your yard to the
street the next yard?
DO you know where the nearest fire alarm box
is, and how to ring it?
DO you think it Is time for you to find out?'
