LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Claims Cigarette VIII Not Start Fire.

Claims Cigarette VIII Not Start Fire.
 Mr. Editor: Some time ago no- ticed in The Bulletin a statement to the effect that a fire was started by lighted cigarette, carelessly thrown away. Now, I am a cigarette smoker and I remember at the time that discussed with a friend the possibn- ity of this happening. I offered to bet him that it couldn't be done and based my contention on the following incident:
 The summer before last, two friends and ] were on a camping trip. After smoking several cigarettes while out on a jaunt one morning, we got back around noon with only one match left. In trying to light a fire for our lunch

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
 WANTED

With the opening of the legislatures in the adjoining states of Rhode Is- land and Massachusetts attention is directed to the manner in which pulp lie expense has been mounting with the result that there must either be a large increase in the revenue through taxation or there must be g. slicing down of the cost of running the com- plicated machinery of state govern ment.
 Such warnings are in keeping with those which have been advanced in other states. It was one of the big problems before the last, session of the Connecticut general assembly and it must be as evident in other states as it was here that it is impossible to go on spending money far in excess of the states revenue and not pile up a debt which is constantly adding to the burdens of the commonwealth.
 Governor Mccall recently told the Massachusetts legislators that the cost of running the state had advanced AS per cent. in the past five years and that its direct debt has been ad- vanced 50 per cent, but in that time there had been an increase in pop ulation of but ten per cent. and the assessed valuation of property had risen but g per cent, which gave evil dence that that commonwealth was being led into serious state of in- debtedness because it's credit happened to be so good. The situation there is much the same as it was in Connec- ticut and calls for a readjustment of methods of doing business, the proper regard for economy and the measur- ing of its expenditures by what it has to do with. It shows an unbus- inesslike conduct of state affairs and the need of injecting the methods ot the successful business man into the running of the state government.

 that last match went out. All had was q lighted cigarette in my mouth. I put the lighted cigarette to some paper Nothing doing. All the cigar cite did was to char the paper and burn hole in it, which prevented any such thing as a blaze. I tried hard to make a blaze, but failed each time. Then I applied the cigarette to shaw ings, with even less success. simply couldn't get the shaVings to blaze. After I had told my friend about the above incident, he still felt Hlkep- tical. So I asked him to try it out for himself, He did try 1t In the dim ing room of his own home--hut his cigarette didn't start even the tiniesk blaze; the paper simply Aiekered a nt- tie and went out immediately.
 If any of the readers of The Ruf- letin have any misgivings on this score just let them try to start a blaze with a lighted cigarette.
 Yours respectfully,
 ONE WHO HAS TRIED IT.

BuFFALo's BAD START.

It makes little difference where it IS tried or just what the special form is under which 1t will be worked out. commission form of government is bound to be watched with much inter- est by those communities which have adopted it as well as by those which still cling to the old form.
 Buffalo is the largest city to have demanded a change and like so many other cities 1t was anxious to get rid of the deplorable political conditions which had prevailed in the past and get the benefit of good government, which it was hoped would result from running a city by a commission. When it is getting started may be a poor time to pass judgment upon the mer- its of this form of government for from bad start there may be a good ending, but there must be a strong determination upon the part of those who are vested with authority if such is going to be accomplished in Buffalo.
 That city is about to put the com n1isslon form into effect and in doing so 1t was supposed that an under standing had been reached whereby men qualified fer different positions would be selected, but the cunning hand of politicians is already distin- guished in an effort to control city affairs. with the result that one coun- cilnan has resigned nominations for heads of departments have been held up and there is a deadlock prevailing.
 Politics is already manifested and the stormy inauguration of the system gives some idea of what may be ex- pected in the future so that thus far there appears to be no great benefit secured by Buffalo even though it has adopted the form which is supposed to right long standing wrongs. It to all appearances has changed it's form of government, but elected the same old class of men.

 We believe President Wilson would materially strengthen himself with the independent voters Of this land-and they are the ma ajority-by appointing former President Taft to the Supreme Court vacancy. Most of us regard MT. Taft as ideally fit for the high posi- ton. Only narrow and extreme par tizans could object to that choice and it is poor policy and poorer Judgment to cater to that element. MT. Taft by temperament. training, experiences and ability is peculiarly qualified for mem bership in the highest court of the land. His appointment would give pleasure to the people of the United States and receive the heartiest en- dorsement possible.-Bristol Press.
 Whether it will mean real business calamity for Hartford if the New Ha- ven road is obliged to dispose of its Sound lines, including the local com pany, is a question that is academic to a degree, but on which number or persons nave very positive OplilaOliS. Herbert Knox Smith, former United States Commissioner of Corporations, admittedly knows something about corporations and their relations to the community. It is his belief that the joint operation of the railroad and Its water lines, in the Hartford case al any rate, is essential to success. Many persons agree with MT. Smith. Quite naturally, MT. Goodrich being identi- fled with the railroad ownership of the line, would be called an ex-parte wit ness when he declares in favor of the present arrangement. His testimony cannot be thrown out on that account for the recent testimony of Mir. Meller has demonstrated what a strong rival in the transportation business can dc to a weaker one even without depart ing from fair business methods, and it probably would be suicidal to set UT the sort of competition that severance of the properties would mean. New EngianFs interests have probably been better served by the joint ownership of water and rail lines than it would have been under independent owner ship or than it Is likely to be under future independent ownership.-Hart- ford Post.

The best lesson to be learned from our recent experience with fires is that 1t is costly not to build fireproof strue- lures. The next is that although fires can start in freproof buildings and feed on the contents, they are gener- ally arrested at the start when install ling sprinkler systems. The first of these leson ought to be taken into serious consideration by those who are erecting and reconstructing buildings. In these days concrete, brick and tile do not, cost considerably more than wood Fire-proofing systems are standardized contractors and work men are becoming accustomed to handling them and the security which they give is obtained at an added cost of about twenty per cent-Waterbury Republican.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Still another amendment to the lighting law should be made in nlak- ing it mandatory for all vehicles to carry rear end lights on any part of the load that extends out over the back of the vehicle. Many accidents have happener when autoists have struck joles or other things that ex- tended far to the rear and there was no light to warn the driver.-Meriden Journal.

course, we often hear also of the pork
barrel, but why go further into the
matter7
1t requires just seven yards of taf-
feta to fashion one of these new
skirts. They are set onto a rather
high waistline and Immediately be-
gin to barrel out over the hips. Fur
ther sinilitude to the genuine article
is obtained 10y three bands of CON
trasting colored nibbon trisecting the
skirt for all the world like regular
barrel hoops.
Now the real secret of the barrel
skirt is not SO much the outer shell
as the inner. In fact, on the barrel
petticoat rests the success of the bar
rel skirt. This petit is built of the
heaviest, %stiffest taffeta stitched and
corded and tucked to give it a proper
consistency; and round the hips and
down TO the knees is a series of tiny.
stiff ruffles that is guaranteed 20 hold
anything at bay. It's quite the same
proposition as when we used to rut-
fe the fronts of our corset covers and
camisoles to obtain a voluptuous
frontage. It's the same ruffling, only
times have changed and also the
place.
OF course, the new barrel skirts are
very short, though we are promised
that they are coming down a bit ere
long. They are invariably worn with
a tight fitting bodice, thereby accen-
trating the ~rotundity of their out
line.
AS an article of wearing apparel
we have been accustomed heretofore
to the use of the barrel only as a sub
stitute for stolen or damaged trou5-
ers by either bul dog bitten or bath
ing gentlemen in comic papers. Now
they are to be worn by the very best
and fairest and, consequently, we
may ourselves for long list
of endearing love terms resulting
therefrom for use in those letters so
popular in divorce and breach Of
