1t Is the Duty OF Atlanta to
Give Its Citizens Protection
From Fire,

-Four times this winter to nothing Of the past the lack OF
fire protection for the north end Of Atlanta has been forcby
brought public attention the destruction OF or damage
to the handsome homes of James Floyd Charles Black
Ellis and W. F. Winecof. The burning OF these homes
alone represents loss of probably 100000
In the years since section taken into At

rather than their homes 60 up in smoke
incumbent any two three or four
property support fire station in order to protect their
homes from destruction That duty of the city and for which
al property owners pay part of their city taxes
Other sections of Atlanta provided with fire protection
Why it that this section where the finest homes in Atlanta
built and where paid proporonaey larger than
other residence districts be denied equal protection?
In all the territory north of the downtown business district
there only fire station 1t at North avenue between the
Peachtrees

TIME country postoffice at Pur-
ham had long been presided
over by an inefficient post
mistress, whose lamentable short
comings as public official and
custodian of mail have been COW
cred up as much as possible by
the efforts OF her daughter,
Amanda This is the situation we
find at the opening g. Margaret
Deland's homely, happy, yet pa
thetic little story, Partners"
sent out by Harper Brothers, of
New York.
Finally, however, progressive
politics overcome neighborly toll
Grafton of lacks and losses in the
postoffice. 1t is decreed from
Washington that the partners,
mother and daughter, must give
way for new administration in
the Purham postoffice Not even
the gift Of a blue plush album
from the pleading postmistress is
sufficient to placate the austere
United States Government au-
thorities.
So, after all the proud years of
public office, the discredited
partners" must bow their heads
and retire. Now comes William
Sprague, the new appointee.
Watch the romantic diplomacy
with which he appeases Wash
ington, yet keeps intact the So
cial and business standing of the
partners"

HO not let the thermometer
IL fool you. 1t is a very de-
ceptive instrument for
those who do not know how to
use it-and sometimes for those
who do, or think they do.
You may glance at your ther-
mometer, hanging just outside the
door, one Of these winter morn
ings and see the mercury stand
ing at zero Phew! You feel a
SILVER at the mere sight OF that
needle of glacial metal, contract
ed down almost to the bottom OF
it's tube. as If seeking refuge, and
glittering there like miniature
icicle, cut off short.
You wrap yourself up as for an
arctic journey before venturing
out: thrust your gloved hands
into your big overcoat pockets;
put on your ear shields; start on
run for the office, or the rail-
road station, in order to get your
blood into a state Of defensive
circulation-and, in Two or three
minutes you are streaming with
perspiration! You turn down
your collar, open your coat, and
find that the air is, though not
exactly balmy, decidedly bracing
and agreeable
Yet there hangs that thermom-
eter, steadily marking zero!
1t has deceived you, but still it
has told the truth-yet not the
whole truth: only the truth as it
sees it. 1t Is zero weather for the
thermometer but it is not zero
weather for you. Evidently your
body and the thermometer have
not the same standards OF meas
urement.
But p few days later, perhaps,
YOU look again at your thermom-
eter on the porch as You are
about to go about your business,
and you find that it marks a very
comfortable sum Of degrees above
zero-what might truly be called
balmy weather, for winter. You
have forgotten the disagreement
that you had with the instrument
of science the other morning, and
you bow again, confidingly, to its
decree. 1t says the air is COM
fortably warm. and a thermome-
ter surely ought to know, since It
is it's sole business to measure
temperatures.
You leave off your heavy coat
and your wraps, bare your throat,
and start bravely away for office
or station, trying to feel as genial

as the thermometer has assured
you that the weather is. But you
are not half way to your destina-
ton before SILVER runs down
your back. your nose becomes an
icicle, your ears smart and burn,
and you begin to sneeze or cough.
You feel that you have laid the
foundation OF g serious Cold"
which will probably put some
money in the pocket of your
neighbor, the doctor.
But if, scared by the thought Of
pneumonia, you return home in
haste, you will see, as you glance
at it in passing, that the Their
mometer on the porch still stares
you down with Its impudent as
sertion that the air this morning
is only moderately cold-iust
about the right temperature to be
enjoyable and heaIthful.
Now, where is the origin OF the
deception, and why are you warm
when the Thermometer is cold,
and cold when the thermometer Is
warm7
The whole trouble arises from
the essential difference between a
simple machine consisting Of
glass tube and little mercury
and complicated living body
with its multitude of interrelated
parts and functions. The Their
mometer has only one way Of
feeling changes of temperature
and only one way Of responding
to them viz, by either expansion
or contraction of the liquid metal
in its tube. The human body is a
heat engine continually radiating
away the heat produced within it
by it's vital processes, and its
principal means of feelins
changes of temperature occurring
outside itself is through the diff.
ferant rates at which its Unborn
heat is radiated away to sur
rounding air.
When the air is dry on cold
morning there is little or no evan
Grafton, and the skin is not Sc
riously affected by the cold. But
if the air is charged with mois
ture the invisible water drops
evaporate on touching the skin,
and by their evaporation abstract
heat from the body, which feels
the resulting chill deep within,
So, if the air is still, the cold does
not penetrate, but if it is breezy
new particles of cold air are con
tinually swept against the skin
and more and more heat is alb
stracted from the body.

should be association SPY farmers for the farmers
careful perusa of the senators proposed measure now
before the Senate does not disclose the same considerable

Fletcher. The bill now is purely a bill for the large
money lender and carries with it legal ovation of the

the operations of the Income tax The interest rate in
which the farmer mostly interested is to remain the
same and there appears to be method suggested in
