The Polka Dot.

Because in 1885 a Bohemian peas- ant girl danced new step in a little village near the Polish border a Hun- garian dancing master introduced it in Europe under the name of Polka, which is- the feminine of Polak or Pole. By 1S44. at the time Janies K. Polk was running for the presidency, the dance had spread to America and the name Polk" and the word Pol ka" formed a coincidence at once ap- pealing to everyone. The manufac- turers, merchants and designers fm- medfately presented Polka hats. Polka shoes, Polka gauze and the newest design in fabrics for gentlewon,en."

Economy of Speech.

The country as whole has lost the
 hang" of speaking English. Some people proudly state that America is no longer British colony. that she is creating language of her own. and, to prove their Independence, they
 make a practice of incorporating into 'ur speech sounds without definite -dges, sounds trailing clouds of nut
 cred murinurs sounds of such ele- mental simplicity that they resemble grunts, taken over from the speech or 'tersons who have come to t1s from all he non English speaking countries Of Fhe world. And, in their love of equal ty and fraternity, these people re- fuse to exceed the speech of those whose simple needs are satisfied with frugal vocabulary; in this way they tave succeeded in cutting down their pwn yocabulistic, rations to the famine point. Lavish, generous, wasteful in )ther matters, the country has learned to econonizc in sentence and syllable, III it has reached a genuinely demo- cratic simplicity of speech.-Henry Dwight Sedgwick, in Yale Review.

l painted throughout the interior and is 1 in first class condition. except the l hallway walls. which need some re- pairing, and with this done the interior will be i'll very good condition. Quite extensive repairs were made i to the heater at Engine So. station. pln. which % proved xerY satisfactory the stations were made. but no extraordi- l nary expense on buildings was in- No additional apparatus was added to the equipment the past year. Speaking Of the departments horses, the chief says:
 Five horses are stilf in service as re- ported one year ago. Three are used on the aerial truck and two are used to draw Chemical No. combination wagon.
 These five horses Are from 15 to IS years old and arc too old to do the work expected of them. Outside horses are hired to draw the three pieces of apparatus in. the GreenevilIe district, but the service is not satisfac ctory owing to the teams being out of the district
 This is not as it should be with the industries located at this section. to- sether with the many homes which are often left entirely unprotected while the downtown companies are out at fires.
 Reeemn1e ndatiens.
 The chiefs recommendations are as follows:
 More motor apparatus is badly need ed to make the department more effi- cient, to wit: Two automobile combi- nation machines. known as triple pump, chemical and hose, with 750 gall Ions pump capacity. one to be placed in Greeneville and one on the West Side of the city. Also one motor driven aerial ladder truck with T5 foot lad der to replace the horse drawn aerial ladder truck of old type. thus doing away with three horses that are too old for service, and to complete the plan there should be a city size motor truck with a 50 foot ladder for Greeneville, and motor driven com pima tiol1 cfl leTn- ieal and hose for the Falls district
 The above rec0mm ef1dations for ap- paratus are made after careful con- sideration and for the following req sons: The horses owned by the de- pertinent are old and will have to be replaced very soon and with the pres ent price of hay and grain the cost is three times what it was a few years ago for forage.
 GreeneviIle with it's industries and homes is unprotected on account of no response with outside horses that are hired for drawing the apparatus in that district. Thamesville should have part paid company and piece of motor apparatus of the pump type. Fire alarm boxes are needed in all parts of the city and some that are in circuit should be thrown out and re- pldCSo WiLtt DOAeS OI IlOOeIn COn~ struction. I earnestly recommend that steps be taken to provide additional equipment as recommended.
 In concluding his report the chief says:
 To His Honor Mayor Desmond and the board of fire commissioners ex- tend my sincere thanks for their CO., operation in trying to make the fire department an efficient city depart ment To the officers and members Of the department for their uniform cour- tesy and assistance while in the dis charge of their respective duties I also extend my appreciation and thanks.

Curse Of Consumption

DR.. L. D. Bristol, State commits
the following comment in regard to
the Red Cross Seal sale which will
take place during the period between
Dec. / and Dec. 10 in the interest OF
the anti-tuberculosis work in Maine:
During the last few years the peo-
pie of the United States in general
and Maine in particular have been
interested in waging warfare against
germs and Germans. The great drives
associated with the Liberty Loan. Red
Cross campaigns. etc. were ali in
the interest Of fighting the German
outlaws. The coming drive for the
sale of Red Cross seals ~ support
the anti-tuberculosis work through
out the United States in general and
in Maine particularly is il the inter
est of attacking that greatest of
germ outlawS-the germ of tuberculo-
sis
We were all saddened at the sight
of a gold star in the window Of an
American home during the recent
war. 1t would be a shock TO the cit
liens Of Maine TO find out how many
cases Of tuberculosis in this State
resulted in death. were it the custom
TO place a gold star in the window
Of every home where child or adult
had died Of the disease
Although we are now apparently
at peace with the Germans. we are
still at war with the germs. and un-
doubtedly will be COR many years 10
come. IL should be emphasized how
ever. that the fight against tubercu-
losis must not be waged entirely
from the standpoint of the germ
causing the disease.
The problem includes proper
housing. proper food and nourish-
ment for children. proper industrial
conditions and many other environ
ment factors. To all such work the
people Of Maine should contribute
their full share in the purchase Of
REQ Cross seals in order that the
campaign against tuberculosis may
be pressed with vigor"

seal and also tagged with a special
tag attached by a lead seal bearing

representative identifying the skin.
All skins found in the possession of
