gaze, Hardy studied the appearance Of
the triple row of Indians. To an in
experienced eye they could not have
appeared more peaeeably disposed. But
Hardy's keen eyes noted that the
blankets of some of the men Ia the
rear were hunched out over well-filled
qulvers of arrows. Here and there on
the ground beside the subchlefs who
formed the front row a muzzle of q
rifle thrust from under the Outspread
blanket ends.
Hardy at last fixed his gaze on Thun-
derbolt, who sat in the center of the
row Of subchiefs, and after a delibera-
tive silence that accorded with the In
dian idea of etiquette, spoke to Red
bear: Tell them that l am pleased
to meet in council with the head CHIEF

tribe. l am here to find out what has
troubled the tribe and to see whatever
Is wrong shall he made right"

stood behind Hardy. The eyes of the
chief clerk narrowed, and his small,
red mouth Strengthened. Redbear drew

WOULD GUARD AGAINST FIRE
National Board Of Underwriters
Urges Greater Care in the Con-
structlon of Dwelling.

Realizing the large annual losses
sustained by thousands of home own
ers through construction which tends
to spread fires instead Of retarding
them, the committee on construction
of buildings of the national board of
fire underwriters has issued a book
let of 115 pages on methods of in
creasing the fire-resistive qualities of
dwellings, says Engineering Record.
Builders everywhere, especially in To-
calities outside the control Of build
ing ordinances (and by far the ma
jorlty Of ordinary dwellings are built
in such localities), will find valuable
information in this presentation OF
methods for making houses reasonably
safe from fire. Particularly import
ant, not only for builders, but for
owners and the general public, are
the sections devoted to floor and roof
construction; chimneys, fiues, smoke
pipes and f1replaces; fire stopping
and general precautions for fire pro-
lection.
Generally recognized dangers from
such old offenders as shingle roofs,
unlined chimneys, unprotected stair
ways and shafts are strlkingly Illus
trated, and many simple and effective,
while relatively inexpensive, devices
In construction which retard the
spread of fire are clearly explained.
Every potential house owner will find
1t profitable to become familiar with
these building precautions, which may
prevent loss Of life as well as Of prop
erty. Engineers. through their posi-
tons in building departments and
their participation as plain citizens in
civic associations, chambers Of com
merce and similar organizations, can
let it be known that ordinary dwell
lngs can readily be improved as to
their tire-resstlve qualities, and can
direct interested parties to the proper
source of information.

There is little or no cessation Of the
terrible heat. The mouths of the la
borers and their wives are parehed.
Mosquitoes and other insects add to
their torment. They cry out that
their thirst must be quenched. Wa
ter is not Forthcoming, but the drink
that henumbs the brain and makes
them forget their miSeries in stupor
is. 1t is forced upon the young girls
and children alike, and the morning
sun rises upon many a hapless girl
who will live to rue those hours dur
ing all her after life.
Amid such surroundings and influ-
ences the summer nights are spent,
and there is no one to raise the mighty
cry, what can be done to save the
young girls of the tenements from I'M

The beautiful summertime is crowd
ed with joys for the daughters who
receive tender, watChful care, but full
Of dangers and pitfalls for the inno-
cent girls Of the poor who are robbed
of protection and a chance to 20
right. If the parks of the great cities
were open to girl toilers, and to them
only, during the torrid nights of the
summer, the problem would be par
TALLY solved and their safety from
harm assured. Better the cool, green
grass, close to the bosom of kind
Mother Earth than the sunbaked roof
Of the tenement, where each and every
family has equal rights, but where the
strong dominate and the proper respect
for girlish innocence may not always
be preserved.
Women off summering who have left
closed-up homes and spacious grounds
well fenced in behind them could do
their share of lettering the condition
OF the young girls of the tenements by
allowing a few OF them to camp Mt
night on their grounds. An ounce Of
prevention in averting evil is worth a
pound of cure.
