QUICK WORK OF
 FIRE DEPARTMENT
 SAVES A RESIDENCE
The Taschek Residence Bursts Into Flames as the Result of Ac- tion of Chemicals
 Upstairs.

The promptness of the big fire truck in making the steep ascent up Sixth Street beyond Kennedy Street is all that saved from total destruc- tion the residence of Ernest Taschek, flames having originated, it is be- lieved, upstairs from spontaneous combustion of chemicals used in making pictures. The residence was but recently sold to George Davis, but was still occupied by the Tas chek family The most damage was caused by flooding the place with water to put out the fire. At first the smoke rolled out in dense clouds and it was thought impossible to save the house or contents.

time with an abundant and throbbing
life. In its perfected form, it is one Of
those machines against which it is i'm
possible to lay the charge that it dead
ems those who use il.
The curse of many machines, espe-
cially those in use in factories, is that
they transform their operators from
human beings into automatons when
they do not make slaves Of them.
II was the cotton gin which fastened
negro slavery upon the South at time
when it had begun to disappear because
il was Improbable. The mechanical de-
vice for taking the seeds out of the lint
made it possible for the planters to mar
ket their crop in competition with cotton
growers in other parts Of the world and
the slaves were kept in the fields.
The danger which confronts us today
is that we shall permit mechanical in
ventions to take out of the workers that
power of initiative and independent and
constructive thinking without which no
free man can live. When he loses it he
is in bondage, whatever other name may
be given to his state. There are fac
tories today in which the operatives do
one thing, supplementing the act of a
machine, from morning till night six
days week. 1t is not surprising that
they are dscontented and break out in
some form of revolt. If they did other
wise their case would be hopeless.
So long as this condition prevails the
work of the inventors is incomplete.
They must make a machine that will do
the whole job or modify the machines
they have made so that the man may
be something more and greater than
mere cog or lever. Some use must be
provided for the brain of the worker, for
that, after all, is the greatest machine
ever put together and the creator of
every human device for conquering time
and space.
