Hope to Save Millions
in Fires by Breaking the
Matches While in Flame

When match breaking becomes a
national habit $50,O0O000 a year will
be saved.
BY breaking matches-that is, of
course, matches one uses in lighting
cigar, cigarette, pipe or gas stove
many fires that annually cause a. loss
of approximately S35,000,000 will be
eliminated, according to statement
by fire prevention authorities. And
to spread the gospel Of breaking
matches and preventing fires, nation,
wide picture campaign of education is
to be started.
'Under existing conditions Ameii-
cas- fire losses are increasing year by
year." said Harvey Levey, educational
director of q film company that is to
produce the pictures. 'There is only
one way it can be outdone-that is by
education. The fire departments are
doing the best they can. Until the
people are educated to back them up
America will continue to pay-not
only in money but in lives, and that
must be placed frst.'
The campaign will be put on in CO.
operation with efforts of the bureau
Of forestry Of the department of ag-
riculture. Films showing every phase
of destruction by fire and of methods
to defeat heavy fire losses will be ex-
hibited in theaters in every commu-
nifty in the country. Levey said.
The first essential, Levey said, is the
breaking Of lighted matches before
they are thrown away. Much less
chance will be afforded for a match to
ignite adjacent combustible materials.

RRCEl: ALL. MULlSR RECORDS
II Animal Committed Suicide He is
the First of His Tribe Thus
to ShuffIs Off.

We are not prepared to accept with
out mental reservation the story from
Br.olllyn. that a mule. perhaps an ex-
service mule, committed suicide by
plunging through the plate-glass front
Of an undertaker's office, after imbib-
ing freely of 2.75 per cent beer. We
know the mule; have known him from
an early age, and we know the deci-
NAL stuff that passes for beer. That is
to say, we have. heard about it. No
self-respecting INDEPENDENTLY If he
came from Nlissouri-would drink 2.75
in the first place, and in the second
place, if he did drink IT it would not 60
to his head. 1t might 60 to his legs,
his hindlegs, which are naturally OF
a nervous temperament, and likely to
reach out at any time. We can imag-
inc no better way to put a "kick" in
the brew than by first putting the brew
in mule.
The average mule is looking for an
excuse for kicking, anyway. Feed him
up on the beer Of commerce and leave
the rest to his natural predisposition.
He will register disgust in the obvious
way.
And then again mules never commit
suicide. We have heard of men COM
mitting suicide by twisting the mules
tail, but the hybrid himself is much
in love with life. There's even rumor
in the South and Southwest that mules
never die; that, barring accidental dis
solution, they live forever Be that as
it may, we do not recall that we ever
saw a mule suffering from age, or
that was feeble in his right hind shoe.

Methods of Education Too
Much a Cramming Process

Everyone admits that the methods
Of modern education are far from per,
feet; that the whole system is too
much a cramming process, too little
that 'leading forth" of the individual
mind which is implied in the etymoI
ogy Of the word. declares writer
Too often the creative imagination OF
the child is not only not developed-it
Is deliberately snubbed and stified
And even his critical faculty is dis
couraged by the average teachers au-
thoritative attitude, which repeats day
after day: ''Your opinion is of no i'm
portance; So-and-So addison, for ex-
ample) has been admired by two cen
turies of competent judges, and it be-
hooves young people like you to accept
their opinion"

Use Two Hooks instead of
One in Hanging Pictures

Never fasten picture wire to pic
ture SO t1'at, beginning at either side
Of the picture in the back, it comes
up to the hook on the molding In such
q way that a triangle is formed. While
not exactly part Of picture framing,
the fastening Of the wire or cord is
most essential, for even the most beau
tifully framed picture should be sc
hung that the actual mechanism OF
hanging is as inconspicuous as pos
sible. Therefore use two wires, fast,
ening them so that they are parallel
with the sides Of the frame, and use
two hooks at the molding instead OF
one. IF you can use cord or, wire
which blends in with the wall itself
SO much the better.

Woman Physician Asserts
Carriers Prove Injurious

Here's another theory Of a woman
physician. Savages develop a better
race than do civilized nations-because
savages do not wear garters. DR.. Au-
gusta Rucker of New YORK made this
claim recently before the international
conference Of woman physicians, held
In New York. She condemned chill
dren's garters and elastic shoulder
straps, at the same time urging looser
clothing for women, and theoabolish-
ing of pointed toed shoes and high
heels.

Portland Grammar
Schools to Have League

Portland. April 12-Now that II Is
finally decided by the arbitration board
OF the Portland grammar school
league, consisting of Mayor Charles
z. Clarke, Hon. Halbert p. Gardiner
and Hon. Edward W. Murray, to ad-
init the two South Portland schools.
Secretary Granville r. Lee is busy at
work arranging the schedule.
The grounds are now being fixed
to make them available for playing as
soon as possible. A layer of clay is
being spread over the cinders at the
Richardson field, which will put the
ground into condition very soon. The
foul board is good. as it was new last
year and Get the finances of the recre-
alton back sS7. Work on the Cunning
ham grounds will put them in perfect
condition. The East Deering grounds
are in too bad a condition to fix at
present and the sun will have to dry
lid this field before it will be capable
of being worked on. The Harvey
grounds will have to have a good dry
ing-out before they will be in playing
condition. The South Portland grounds
will be at Fort Prcble. The teams
in the league are Emerson. North.
Staples. Catholic institute. Broadway
and Summer street.
The Richardson field will eventually
be the best grounds open to the pub
lie, as it is planned to have a clay top
with cinder foundation and with this
worked out, the field will most always
be in a good condition. II it is possi-
BILE to have the grounds in good play
ing condition by April rs. the date OF
the league opening. Secretary Lee is
planning on having the league games
skip the holidays so as the grounds
will be available for the working peo-

ALL SPORTS FOR
ALL is SLOGAN
OLYMPIC COM.

New York. April 12-Al sports for
ALL is the slogan adopted for the in
ternaticnal Olympic committee by
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, chairman
of that body, in a letter sent to all the
members.
The veteran Olympic leader. who
will have control of the international
games to be held at Antwerp next
year, states that the advent of a new
democratic era requires the removal
Of sport limitations where one class
is privileged over another. He adYo-
Gates a wider application Of the prin-
ciples which are the foundation of the
American Ameteur Union and sug-
gests the formation of a sporting Or
der Of chivalry" along the lines of the
organization now prominent in
Sweden.
Earon de Coubertin states that
play throughout the reconstruction
period throughout the world. Il is a
Ieveler Of classes and the foe of all
bad instincts and habits; engende-s
observation. self-control. practical
philosophy in case Of failure-quali-
ties needed by present generations for
the tasks that confront them"
He urges the federatio to awake
70 a realization Of the sporting spirit
ard needs of that class heretofore
barred from participation due to LACK
Of money. Baron de Coubertn also
touches upon the evils Of profession
alism and commercialism in their re-
lation Is organized meets and contests
which develop large groups Of inactive
spectators whose applause and wager
ings has damaging influence upon
the athletes. The danger Of clannish-
ness or too great legislative restriction
by sport governing federatiens is also
pointed out. and a plea made for a
broader and more tolerant policy in
order that greater freedom and oppor-
tuni,y may exist in athletics for all
classes regardless OF their social or
financial standing.
