Lighting the Christmas Tree.

| Christmas trees are usually young
growth of spruce or balsam, although
o. her evergreen trees are sometimes
used. AS these trees are very res.
nous they are easily ignited by light,
ed candles suspended from their
branches. Once a twig is ignitcd the
entire tree flares into sudden blaze
which is difficult to eXtingu;sh. For
this reason miniature electric lamps
are now being used for Chris mas
tree lighting.
The tiny electric lamps are arrang
ed in long strings which can be
suspended and fcstooned from the
tree and there is not the slightest
danger of their setting the branches
on fire. The lamps are made in all
colors and in great variety of
shapes Many Of them are made to
represent birds, fr it's, men animals.
etc. One string of the lights is
enough for small tree and other
strings may be added according to
the size Of the tree. The cord is
provided with an ordinary screw plug
which fits any electric fixture The
lights can be snapped on and off as
desired. In this way the Christmas
tree is thing Of beauty and joy
throughout the holiday season, with
out the danger OF fire

Fire Sunday Afternoon.

Last Sunday was one of the real
cold days of the year Albert Chris
ten of the West Side decided that Is
long as he had plenty of fuel that he
was going to have a good fire, and
himself and family and few guests
were enjoying the fireside warmth,
little dreaming that the house was
ON fire. A few men, belonging to
thel fire department happened to
pass and noticed a blaze on the roof.
They didn't turn in an alarm, but set
to work to eXtinguish the fire, which
was almost accomplished when AL
bert appeared on the scene, a much
surprised man, and grateful also at
the good work the boys accomplish
ed. 1T was a narrow escape and
luckily happened during the day
time.

THE MOVING PICTURES.
Millions of Children Reached by

Highly Evolved Educa-

Only the ostrich type of educator
can fail to recognize that the me,
tion-picture represents a new force
a new tool, which live-minded mer
and women are surely going to study
and experiment with till they have
determined just where it's possibill.
ties can be best applied to the edu-
cation of our children. AS DR.. Wal

ing school, has pointed out, with
its alluring, shifting scene, it's COM
polling reality, it's limitless range OF
subject matter, t represents the
most highly evolved educational in
lstrument which the present century
, has bequeathed''
Indeed, the educator must use it:
for at the present time the film man
ufacturers are educating about five
million American children a day
along highly undesirable lines. 1t
is estimated that a quarter of the
patrons of the movies are under six
teen years of aSe (half a million
shoool children in New York City
alone visit them daily; and while
the National Board of Censorship, es-
tabl;shed five years ago by the Peo-
pies Institute, has done yeomen's
service in eliminating the worst class
Of subjects, and low passes on prac-
tically all the films shown in this
country, its work is naturally main
ly confined to the suppression of in
decency, wanton libel, and morbid
scenes of crime, where the only val
ue of scene is its morbidity or GRIMM
al appeal" 1t cannot after the fact
that the overwhelming majority of
such shows still depend for success
upon an over emotional and sensa-
tional appeal, highly spiced
food for those five million adolescent
minds to make their favorite daily
meal from. It's the inevitable story
with any new real force: if the high.
brows don't use it for good the low
brows will use it for their pockets
