4 very pointed remark made as night during the session of the city council The remark was, tha the t.midity of many women in Juneau might now or in che future cause serious trouble" This brough up during a discussion Of fire preparedness. was first stated that few women of the city knew how cs were afraid to break glass fire box and ring th' alarm There is nothing more simple. nothing easier Break the glass 1t Is there for that purpose. and ring the alarm Do look the box. but break the gas' and do 1t right when 1t is needed most.
 Another matter brought out was the fact that prac tcaly one third of the fire calls made the tee phone Many times the person giving the alarm gets rattled strictly speaking and goes all to pieces. Th is more often the case with women than men. One hal minute Of stage fright at this critical moment possibly means five minutes in needless loss by the fire depar, ment If you ladies must get excited wait until yo' have said: There is fire at so-andso," naming the street and also the nearest street Then whei this information is given. faint become as rated you choose Recently woman telephoned that thero was fire at the junction of streets running para lel She became real angered when asked to give ( more definite location Remember, QuickDess and cor ciseness n giving an alarm means everything.

ROOSEVELT BOaBAsTMa AeAIN

Theodore Roosevelt has broken out once more Ac cordng to the dispatches received by The Empire he broke cut in speech at Philadelphia To the ordinary man. Roosevets chimerlcal pussance is something won derful In his utterances n his latest outbreak he showed a most puslanimous disposition. Ills remarks according to excerpts received were simply revision or more complete analysis of all well known state mens made by our chief executive President Wilson, dur ng the past few months.
 Roosevelt can coin new word. by hunting in the dictionary for some obsolete vocabIe. rant Ike the old fashioned ten-twentythirty transforming villain But when comes right down to the placing of real facts before tho people like he has attempted to do during the past few years. he is lost President VII son has forgotten more of diplomacy than Roosevelt VII ever know. President Wilson has more knowledge and expression at his ready than Roosevelt can display
 Take for instance one of hs utterances made at Philadelphia: Fear God and take your part be- fore the national conference of Amercanizaton That sounds familiar # one has read various statements speeches made by President Wilson It expression that has been made by our President Roosevelt has changed the verbs Take another phrase in Roosevelt's Philadelphia speech: "The who loves other nations as much as he does his own country stands on par with the man who loves other women as he does his own wife, The first part of this state meut has been intmaed time and time again by Pres dent Wilson There is no thought In the line The last part Of the statement Is solely Roosevets It is the way he thinks President Wilson, if he ever had thought of that nature would never allow 1t to be expressed so udecatey That part of the expression Is the real Roosevelt He is lofty thinker nor lofty constructionist.
 Take another excerpt. "FOr adequate defenses we need big and efficient navy and small but efficient army
 Shades of double crossing Roosevelt was Prest dent once upon me. and what did be do about ade ouate dcienses? Secretary Garrison has shown the Col one up in most surprisingly Illuminated Sec rctary Garrison In hts statements following the pub lhed interviews of Roosevelt several weeks when the Colonel stated President Wilson had stolen all O. his policies Mex can as we'll as preparedness, present ed facts and figures in exhaustive retutation Or all Roosevelt said Roosevelt never never thought of preparedness anything about navy de fense until President Wilson first mentioned tho sub jcct.
 Agan Roosevelt says: "I believe universal service would be beneficial" He believes he does not come right out in the open and say he knows He will wait for someone else to do that then the wary Colonel will place them in the plagirst class. explaining in somo magazine that he first made the assertion and will at tempt to prove t by carefully preparing his Philade rha speech over again. Watch and see if this state ment is not later borne out
 Roosevelt is sure player. He is like the actor he takes the words some one else has written and mouths" them.

Luke McLuke Says

There are a lot of things in this world that should not be sniffed at. And bottle of cheap perfume is one ,f them.
 What has become of the old-fash- toned bellows that used to hang back of the kitchen stove and was Q great lid in getting the fires started in the morning?
 A boy will do almost anything you want him to do until he finds out hat you want him to do 1t.
 If there were nothing but women ,n this earth We would bCs that one half the world would know all about iow the other half lived.
 When a man hires photographer 70 take a picture of his house, he may 'orget to call his wife out so she will be in the picture, but he never forgets 70 call his dog so 1t will be In the picture.
 The fact that he told her that he would die for her Is no sign that she g going to try and kill him with kind. ness after they are married.
 Why is 1t that when you tell good tory the ether fellow has to follow oyu up with Q poor story?
 It is a safe bet that the man who is always wailing about the Poor 4eathen and working to enlighten the Nenighted in far lands is the same fellow who doesn't know that ther' gre a half dozen families living on his -treet who would welcome consola ion and assistance.

 In a letter to the Hon. George w.

 Tt may be-" shudders Mir. rd, that he believes n President Wilson's Mexican policy European, tariff oreyenueony bus!nesspersecutng policies. and if he does his nomination obviously would be an absurdty." And of course t would. To nominate a Republican Woodrow Wilson against Democratic Woodrow VII on-is that the way to make this better country for George Perknss children?
 Yet it is very likely that Justice Hughes is tainted with wilsonsm. It seems impossible to find a Repubh an who tainted in spots with one Wilson policy or mother It is only when get to the Colonel that we ind candidate who has consecrated himself to believe hat everything President Wilson does .s wrong and hat everything that President Wilson is ever going to To is wrong and who is flatly and uncompromisinglS against the multiplication table # it can be proved tha Mr. Wilson uses or relies on it.

MILK FOR GERMAN BABIES
New York Worldl


 Dr. von Mach's appeal to President Wilson on be half of the Citizens Committee for Food Shipments which desires to send powdered and condensed mill or German babies, will strike most Americans as unan iwerable.
 Germany has not been considerate of the babies of other people. She has not yet made amends for the children slaughtered in the Lustana massacre. Her al y is stll lawessly drown ng children in the Mediter -anean May babies in Belgium. Serbia and Northern France have pershed of priyation But these are nc reasons why babies should needlessly suffer
 The starvation of a blockaded people is custo nary war measure. The Germans in 1S70.71 admitted 10 milk to Paris for babe German adults. at least .annot fairly complain now if conditions in part re- 5ersed But surely international plan is possible by which milk could be admitted to Germany exclusive y for children. supplies are admitted to Belgium or Belgans.
 An English writer Rebecca West. says in the At 'antlc Monthly that should ever begin war rntl he has arranged that baby will ever miss his ,eedngbottIe Great Britain did not begin this war. but she should be ready to accept any practical pan-the United States should urge such Q plan-that war shall be waged against babies in any country in the world.
