7 ENT, be it early or late, is the
signal for an exodus of all who
feel the need of a change of air
and scene, and for these trims small
travelling clocks are great con-
veniences. At Bailey, Banks & Bid
die Company there is the most at
tractive stock that l have seen for
some time. Those in pink, blue,
olive, brown or black leather cases,
with radium figures and hands and
gilt dials, fold fiat. are eight-day
movements, some having alarms,
and measure about four inches
square. Or, if you are more ex-
travagantly inclined, there are ster-
ling silver or gold cases, but the
most fascinating are the small nov
city enamel clocks in any color, some
folding, others like tiny mantel
clocks, and one, good for an Easter
gift, is inclosed in tiny blue enamel
egg-shaped case.

At THE Knickerbocker Cafeteria
n 81 South 18th street, I discov-
cred a rare and peculiar condi-
ton, one hitherto not remarked by
restaurants: that the busy lunch
hour divides itself into two distinct
periods, each equally popular, the
first running from 12 to 12:40, the
second from 1:10 on, leaving a half
hour between when things ease up.
Now, for rushabouts like you and
me, hating to wait second for any
thing, this half hour from 1910 to
1:10. when the mysterious lrll oc-
ours, will prove a boon. The husi-
ness from 6 to p. m. has also in
creased wonderfully, especially on
Thursdays, the dining-out night for
housekeepers. Many attractive spe-
cialties are provided, and the pros
pect of a change from home to res
taurant cooking turns Thursday into
the brightest day Of the week.

FIRES TAKE BIG
TOLL OF LIVES,
REPORT SHOWS
Insurance Commissioner Says
Much is Accomplished by
Press in Preventing
Needless Waste.

New York, Jan. lC.-Fires in the
United States take an annual toll oil
more than $4,000 lives and cause a
property loss Of approximately $780,
100000, according to statistics read
at the opening here yesterday Of a
conference between representatives
Of the Fire Marshals' Association Of
North America and the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters.
These statistics, compiled from
reports of marshals from various
states, were presented by Colonel
James r. Young, insurance commits
sioner and fire marshal Of North
Carolina. He added that most per-
sons killed or burned to death were
women and children.
/. A. Fleming of Columbus, o.,
president Of the Fire Marshals' as
ISOLATION, reported that more than
IS per cent OF the fire prevention or
ders issued by states had been
obeyed. He asserted that more had
been accomplished in the last two
years toward reducing fire waste
thar in the 10 years preceding.
Terming newspapers reporters
machine guns" and editors heavy
artillery" in the fighting against fire,
he continued:
THE finest asset for a fire mar
shall is a friendly press. Newspapers
art most eager TO give facts if re-
lated to real conditions. Just as in
the recent conflict where the rapid
fire of the machine guns accounted
for a great percentage of the casual
ties, so daily attacks in the newspa-
~ainst careless fires strike
the bulls eye Of the public atten-
ton.
Newspaper men are sharp. They
arc also loyal We should do ev-
crything in our power to cultivate
their friendship and command their
respect. They know whether or not
we are four flushing or whether we
ere playing square. Public sentiment
is moulded in printers ink. There
lore, the more said in the papers
about carelessness and its cure the
easier it is to convince the public
that something must be done at
ance to stop our needless and enor-
