THE PENALTY Of
CARELESSNESs
BY 8. w. lnsIish.
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry Of
"Fire!" you can be almost absolutely
safe In thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result Of
combinations of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
1t will be found that carelessness Is
the root whence spring nearly all
fires.
What penalty industry pays to
Carelessness! Fire is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth of a generation
can be wiped out in but brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start? Why not so conduct your
habits and so keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as sacrifice he
will pass you by, just as those Of
Egypt of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims Of bad luck, they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
If you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires.

NUMBER Il
SCHOOL CLOSES JUNE Attn,

Prof. AyleSworth has set June 4th
for the closing exercises of the school.
There will be no graduating exercises
this year and the closing exercise will
be limited to the usual concerts by the
different grades. The past years work
has shown real progress in all lines of
work, and arrangements are being
made for some considerable additions
to the work and equipment of the
school next session. Among the most
interesting Of these additions IS
the mechanical training and domestic
science department. Additions to the
building will probably be made to &C.
comodate these departments.

RURAL SCHOOL TERM
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY P. p. Claxton,
U. S. Commissioner of Education.

In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length Of
school term In cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty.
five days; in rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, a diff
ference Of forty-seven days. In some
States the difference Is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than one hum
dred days, and in some districts it is
less. On the other hand, In the
States of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
in session one hundred and eighty
days in year, and in several other
States almost as long The country
schools of Rhode Island are in ses-
sion one hundred and ninety days in
a year.
If all children are to have an equal
opportunity LOT eQucatlOn We must
even up the school terms of the
country and give to all country chill
dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-fve days Of
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun-
tries in which the schools, both for
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those of any 9TH
er country, and this applies to the
rural as we'll as urban districts.

THE NIGGER" ON
 FOX'S PROGRAM

Direct from the Hippodrome, New York where it played to overflowing business The Nigger" the sensational photo-drama that is creating a stir wherever it is being shown, and pro- duced by the William Fox forces in Atlanta, Georgia will hold the stellar position on the big program at Fox $ today and tomorrow. William Far nun, remembered here for his most artistic work in The Gilded Fool" Samson" and The Spoilers" plays the leading character of Philip Nor TOW and is supported by cast of screen stars never before seen to- gether in any production.
 The story deals with Philip Morrow, wealthy young planter, and owner of Morrow's Rest, has grown to man hood, in the belief that the blood in his veins is the most aristocratic in the South. He is happy in the love of Georgiana Byrd. the belle of his native state. Rich, young. and power politically. his cup of happiness seems to be filled to overfiowing. Cliff Moves, a political boss and distiller of whiskey of the fiery brand marufac- tured for negro consumption, per- suades Morrow to run for governor. During the campaign one of Philips negroes is lynched, in spite of Nor rows efforts to save him from the law. The incidest makes a deep inn pression on Morrow's mind. and upon his election to the governorship he decides to sign prohibition bill which would mean the ruin of Moves busi- ness. Threatened with extinction Moves visits Morrow and springs the trap. In rummaging in an attic he has found papers proving that Nor row, the aristocrat. the blueblooded land owner and governor of the state has touch of negro blood in his veins. Morrow faces the blow man. fully. He confesses the taint of blood to Georgiania and then determines to do the right thing. Morrow, crushed, but not broken by the fearful revela- ton of his ''Nigger" ancestry. makes the prohibition bill a law, and to make his heroic self sacrifice complete re- signs his office to devote the remainder of his life to the uplifting of the negro race.
 Theron Hart will change his musical numbers today and will render March from Faust" by Gounod and ''T'he TIumoreske" hy Dvorak two selections that will do credit to his reputation as a musician. Several single reel comedies will augment the program.

FINE PICTURE BILL

The management of the Lyceum offers another all-star programme of motion picture features for Sunday evening. Tn this programme the pa irons are assured of first run pictures such as were shown last Sunday eve- ming and drew a capacity attendance.

DIVORCE QUESTION
 NEXT WEEK AT POLFS

The advance sale of seats for the remaining performances of Folly of the Circus" in which the Hartford Poli Players are appearing this week, indicates a continuance of the ca pacity audiences which have been at tending this play twice daily. The novel features which Manager Thatch- CT has introduced have proven very popular and have caused no end of comment about the city and the lobby display has proven one of the most unique that Hartford theater- goers have ever seen.
 The sensational play, "The Divorce Question:" in which the players ap- pear next week, has caused more ser mons to be preached than any other play of modern times. The, theme of the play is an argument against di- vorce laws, as they exist today, the main idea being that the next genera ton must be considered in laws en- acted by the present generation. The story of the play shows the pathetic side of life wherein divorce has been adopted as the legal means of marry ing again and wherein two children are sacrificed to the selfishness of the new moral code. The depths to which they fall seems more terrible when the minister produces statistics to show that they are but two of more than a million and a half peO- pie who are placed in similar jeopardy by the same cause. The remorse of the parents upon seeing the result of their actions also becomes pitiful but their selfish idea of life prevents them from undoing what they have done until, when almost too late, they see the enormity of their offense and through the efforts of the priest strive to save the remnants of their flesh and blood. What becomes of the children is answered in "The D1- vorce Question and Poli thcater gOers will see for tho first time just what it means.

Household Notes

If the little girls petticoat grows let out, open the seams on the shoul- ders and set in a piece of muslin.
 A delicious sandwich is made with honey pressed out of the comb and spread on thin slices of buttered bread; over this sprinkle chopped nuts.
 Where the ironing is done things should be, conveniently arranged, the clothes baskets on a bench the proper height to avoid stopping, and bench for flat pieC Cs.
 If sandwiches are to be made early on a cold wintry morning, put the butter in the warming oven over right and it will spread over the bread without difficulty.
 The dcbutante slouch doesn't go with the new. fashions an erect and almost military position suits them better.
 Before cleaning out the fireplace, sprinkle a good handful of tea leaves among tho ashes. This makes the ashes lift easier. am prevents the dust from flying about the room.

Pockets make feature of the newest fashions and they appear upon girls dresses as they do upon the skirts of their elders. Here is frock that is ma6e with wide belt upon which a patch pocket Is arranged. It is exceedingly smart, yet quite simple and eminently child-like in effect. The straight skirt is pIaited and the plain blouse is frilled only at the lower edge. The sleeves are of the set-in sort and can be made either long or short. In. the picture, the material is one of the new cotton epongcs of light weight, showing line of pale green on a white back ground, but the model is a good one for serge and other similar wool materials and also for the many excellent cottons and linens that are adapted to girls wear. Poplin and crepe are especially well Iiked and the new rice-cloths are char>aing and the eponge illustrated is both ser> icaable and fashionable.
 For the 10 year size will be required yds. of material P in. wide, 3$8 yds. 36, PA yds. A in. wide, with $4 yd. 27, for the trimming.
 The pattern 96n= ;r -'-+ in s:les from o to r2 years. 1t will be mailed to any ad- dress by the Fashion Department or ci21s paper. on receipt of ten cents.
