ANSWERS CALL OF FRIEND
Ceer's Remarkable Attachment to Man
Who Had Cared for 1t In Its
Helplessness.

A t~wO-prOnged buck deer answers
the calls of Jerry Shine, employed by
the municipal water district at Alpine
dam, near San Raphael. Cal.
Long ago Shine one day came upon
q dead doe in the trail of the forest,
and standing beside the mother was a
fawn. 1t was miles to Shines cabin,
but he carried the fawn home with
him, fed it and gave it the name Of
Billy. After a time Shine left the dis
trict. He returned several days ago
and asked his fellow workers the
whereabouts of his deer. They laughed
at him the deer had gone back to ma
ture, they said.
Shine mounted the parapet Of the
dam and called for Billy. The deer,
now the proud possessor of two
prOnged horns, bounded out of the for
est. A photograph was taken of the
man and the animal, as the latter rest
ed his fOrefeet on the shoulder Of
Shine.

THE EVOLUTION OF FIRE
FICHTINC

The passing Of the fire horses from
Manhattan island and the installation
Of a high-preSsure water system in
Boston to eliminate even the fire en-
CINE are further steps in the stage OF
progres from the romantic days Of
the picturesque old hand tubs. oder
folk may remember when citizens
tricked themselves out in red shirts
and glazed caps and carried torches
in the front of a procession, or formed
part of the %bOdyguard Of the gallant
old tub as it paraded the streets on a
gala occasion. Then passion for fire
fighting ran to a high pitch and argu-
mentS were waged about the merits Of
particular engines. Today the tSrobS
Of a motor-driven engine are taking
the place Of those heart throbs. The
horses that might have clattered from
their stalls, glided beneath their har-
ness, and raced gloriously through the
drizzly, night-darkened streets before
the fire-spitting demon, are drawing
farm wagons or blowing the field.
In by-gOne days communities were
dependent upon volunteers, and men
from all social ranks gave valuable
time to qualify for the service.
Fire fighting in ONE sort of organ
lied form is ancient. Machines for
throwing water from a distance were
known, according to our first clear eTi-
dence, in the second century before
Christ. Heron of Alexandria, POO
years before the Christian era, in an
old manuscript which has escaped de-
struction, described a hydraulic ma
| chine used in Egypt during the time
Of the Ptolemies. 1t was composed OF
two brass cylinders resting on a wood
en- base with pistOns fitted into them
in it's principles practically like our
present engine. Like most other
knowledgr. this was lost in the dark
ages which followed.
The Romans had squads OF men
to carry water in "hamae," or light
vases, to the scene Of an outbreak
where it was projected onto the fire
by those in charge Of the ~"siphOneS'
or hand pumps. The precise nature
OF his instrument has not been deter
mined, but from specimens found in
excavations it must nave been much
like the Old-fashioned syringe used by
gardeners. These large organizations
of men gave the Roman authorities
trouble by their turbulence. Trajan,
the Roman emperor, and Pliny, at thai
time one Of his governors, had long
and serious correspondence over the
ad~visability Of organizing fire depart
ments in the cities under Pliny's juris-
diction, leading to the conclusion that
such groups would attain sufficient
strength TO be a menace to the gov
eminent.
Mention Is made Of the medieval
use of forcing pumps on fire engines
at Augsburg in 1913. England and
the countries Of the continent were
using hand squirts and syringes al
this time. America took her Ideas
from the English.

EGYPT: A DIAMOND MINE
OF HISTORY

Egypt annually supplies the world
with a precious product, an increasing
knowledge Of the early life story of
the human race. In the wonderful
record Of exploration which has re-
stored to us the civilization Of the
great pre-classical nations, there is no
more remarkable chapter than that
which tells Of the resurrection Of an
cient Egypt. A communication to the
National Geographic society by James
Baikie, says:
1.-The science Of Egyptology. which
is slowly and patiently re~constructing
for us the ordered history of the 1900
years before Christ, enabling us to see
the types Of men, the n Of life,
the forms Of government, the religious
customs and beliefs of period after
period, from the very dawn Of Egypt
ian nationality, is specifically a growth
of our W time.
"We owe the framework into which
we try to fit the facts Of Egyptian his
tory to the ancient historian, Manetho,
scattered fragments of whose history
Of Egypt, dating from the reign OF
Ptolemy Philadelphus, in the third cen
fury b. c., have come down to us In
the works Of various ancient authors
He recognized 80 dynasties Of Egyp-
tian monarchs. and he left lists Of the
names Of the kings In each Of these
dynasties, together with occasional
notes upou matters Of historical inter
J est In particular reigns.

ALASKA APPEALS TO YOUTH
Newspaper in Great Northern Terri
tory Promises Fortune to the
Young and Adventurous.

The sage advice Of Greeley was new
er more applicable than it is today in
Alaska, observes the Alaska Capital.
What the country needs is the OPP
timisms of youth, coupled with an adj
herence To the advice of Or. Kilgor of
Trinity college, North Carolina, when
he said: young man, the SageS will
tell YOU To be prudent; prudence be-
longs to the daring Of youth-the spirit
of adventure that Will develop in
dividuality."
Reduce this philosophy to Alaskan
terms, and we find that the territory
just now needs youth to finish the
structure upon the foundation laid by
those wonderful pioneers whom we
reverence and admire. The raw ma
terialS are here, materially and ethical
ly all that is needed is for the next
generation succeeding the pioneers to
step into the trails blazed for them
and finish the work.

In Brunswick Tires, for in

familiar formula, long in use,
which makes the best tire tread
that's known.
And there's certain type of
fabric which, by test, is strong

it is in The Brunswick.
To attain the utmost in tire

a question of care and skill and cost
These facts can be verified by testing
200 types of high-grade tires and analyz-

the Brunswick laboratories have done.
In a super-tire, such as The Bruins

must overshadoW others.

The Brunswick idea is to
give all that is possible, all that
anyone can give that any
factory cost can buy.
The result is a tire that is
winning friends the nation
over. In The Brunswick mo-

and get it. Never has a tire

who appreciates real merit.
