LIFE JUST One BIG LOAF .
FOR FIRE CHIEF WATSON

For thirty days George S. Watson
has been chief OF the District Fire
Department. For thirty days there
has been no fire big enough for the
new chief to attend. And for thirty
days the big red automobile of the
chiefs has not had an opportunity to
rush through the city streets.
But Chief Watson Is not perturbed
"Our business is good when there's
no business" the chief said this morn
ing.
The regulations require the chief to
attend every second-alarm fire. Dur
ing his first months services there
have been no two-alarm fires.

WOMEN STUDENTS
WANT LATCHKEYS

| EDINBURGH. Scotland, July 30.
tBy Mail J-Young women students
Of the, University OF Edinburgh have
revolted against what they regard as
childish" restriction In the use OF
Ilatchkeys after the regulation hour
for closing the hall In which they
live.
Thirty-three students OF Mason
hall, one Of the numerous hotels In
which women students reside. have
gone on record as refusing to obey
Instructions regarding the use OF
night keys. The girls assert that
they are being treated as children
rather than as young women well
able 10 take care Of themselves.
The protest resulted In a petition
TO the University requesting a
change In the warden O! the hall.
The view OF the management is that
too much liberty was given the girls
under the previous regime and that
unless they alter their petition, the
girls must leave the hall at the end
Of the session.
The Pail Mall Gazette OF London
in commenting on the incident says:
with the merits Of the particular
case we are not concerned but there
is a principle involved which sooner
or later will have to be decided.
When women won their right to
compete with men in the professions
they practically won all the rights
that appertain to the requirement
and practice Of those professions.
