Defective Vision in Children.

Last year 141,0 900 cases of defective
vision among the school children of
New York state were reported, accord
ing to DR.. William A. Howe of the
state education department. A large
percentage of the defects of vision are
errors of refraction traced directly to
poor lighting conditions, he says. Guam
tity of light is one of the most difficult
problems Of school lighting. While
offices and factories are employing in
creasingly high intensities of illumina-
tion, schools can be found with very
low illumination. The subject has
added Importance by reason of the fact
that night schools are conducted in a
number of school buildings. Two thou
sand rooms In the schools of New York
city alone are used for that purpose,

FIRE PREVENTION
IS CONSERVATION
Stopping Fires Before They Start
Means Big Economic Saving
To All Citizens.
BY Henry M. Warfeld.

4HC fIIC AICFSHtlOll SdihpdiSH,
organized for Baltimore and the
State of Maryland, and which
starts October |, should be viewed
by the citizens as one of the most
important conservation measures
ever presented for their con-
sideration and cooperation. Few,
l believe, fully comprehend what
the reduction of the fire waste
really means. Property destroyed
by fire, while in most instances
paid for by the insurance com
panies, is, nevertheless, wiped out
of existence and thereby consti-
tutes lessening of our resources
by necessitating its replacement
from our constantly diminishing
sources of supply.
So many fires are due to care
lessness or lack of attention to
small details in ones house or
place of business that it appears
almost criminal that those re-
sponsible should not realize the
Importance of exercising the
necessary care and supervision
over the premises under their
control that would prevent large
percentage of the fires.
The Association of Fire Under
writers Of Baltimore City and
other similar associations through
out the state and country employ
expert inspectors who are con-
stantly employed in making in
spections, pointing out to prop
erty owners the defects in their
equipment and fire prevention ar
rangements, the improvement Of
which is reflected by reduction in
insurance rates. These inspect
ors are at the service of any prop
erty owner desiring their advice
and the compliance with this ad-
vice has saved the assured many
thousands of dollars in premiums
besides reducing the fire waste in
which every man and woman
should be interested.
These associations are support
ed by the stock fire insurance
companies at no small cost, and
any fair-minded citizen cannot
but appreciate the great good
their work has been to any COM
munity through the improved
building laws, fire prevention de-
vices and hre-hghting devices sug-
gested by experts in the various
lines. Reduction of the fire waste
must result in reduction in the
cost of insurance, for no class of
business is under stricter super
vision than insurance by the in
surance commissioners of all the
states. Should the reduction in
fire waste be such as to show in
creased profits to the insurance
companies, rates are just as GER
tain to come down proportionate-
ly as night is to follow day.
We have in Baltimore an ex-
cellent example of the assistance
the stock insurance companies are
in bringing about better fire pre-
vention in the area swept by the
great FIRE of 1904. This area has
been rebuilt to a great extent un-
der the direction of the experts
employed by the insurance COM
panies with the result that, after
paying out about $35,OCQOOO in
losses to property owners, these
property owners are now enjoy
ing lower insurance rates than be-
fore the conhagration and the
City of Baltimore can feel quite
sure that repetition of the con-
flagration will not occur in this
area.

Prevention And Insurance.

The Maryland Fire Prevention
Campaign, which will teach many
Marylanders many ways OF pre-
venting many fires, will also teach
them the value of fire insurance,
which, next to prevention of fires, is
the best safeguard against heavy
losses. Every person owning prop
erty should see to- it that his insur-
ance policy is in working order; that
is, that it covers his possessions
thoroughly and that it is adequate.

This evening, as I saw the bank col

FEEDING HOGS BY WHOLESALE
On California Ranch Five Thousand
OF the Animals Are Aecommo-
Gated at the Same Time.

A miniature railroad system consist
ing Of five miles of standard gage
track, an 1S-ton steam locomotive, an
auxiliary and emergency gasoline loco
motive and a fleet Of 80 specially ar
ranged feeding cars is used on the
Diamond Bar ranch in California to
feed 5000 hogs. And it takes two men
less than one hour to do the job.
The mechanical equipment is the
most ingenious and unique of any in
use.
Feeding yards are arranged so they
front on both sides of the track. At
the front of each yard is large hog
trough. Directly over each trough is
n gate, hinged at the top, operated by
trip release which causes the gate
to swing outward so that the pOrkers
may have access to their feed when
the dinner gong sounds.
A 1,500-gallon tank has been mount
ed on fiat car and series of agita-
tor paddles, operated by a small gaso-
line engine, have been installed inside
this huge vat. These paddles stir the
feed constantly and keep 1t mixed thor

There is cutoff delivery spout at
the bottom of the tank which is so ar
ranged with hood that 1t can be ex-
tended directly over the rows Of

heart; the sweetest music on earth
mothers lullaby, compares not with
that of the angels, except as her heart
has been nightly touched by the
Christ spirit.
What wealth of melody in that
song!
What majesty of language!
And the message is beautiful with
the heavenly Fathers love.
Earthly and common are the songs
of old India, Greece and Rome. The
poets of modern times do their best
and sing their sweetest only when they
repeat the angel chorus in the atti-
tude of humility and worship.
That Christmas song breathes the
good cheer of hope for us, as it has
thrilled others down the centuries, but
| its meaning is being realized as never
before.
| Ponder the announcement; the bur-
den. of the message: "There is born to
you savior, Christ the Lord" We
read that "the shepherds were sore
afraid" and this fear had its great
side in that it shows the essential
greatness Of man as compared with
the universe around him. The flocks
and herds went on sleeping or feeding,
unmindful of the vision and the song.
The shepherds heard the song, saw
the vision and in awe trembled and
bowed their faces to the ground in
their consciousness of the divine pres
ence.
But fear has sad side for sin is a
cause of fear, as it is also the cause
in large measure of all the worlds
woe. Our greatest need is the savior,
who alone can destroy this cause of
fear of God, and plant in our hearts
the principles of righteousness, un-
selfishness and brotherly love.
This Christ comes to us as He has
been always coming to give salvation,
thus giving everlasting life, spiritual
health, blessing and cheer divine.
The blessed influence of the Christ
mas message is felt everywhere today,
even by those who reject the savior
born. The hearts of man have warm
ed to it and as result they have
warmed to their fellowmen. We see
this in literature, in art, and human
action. 1t speaks in terms that glor-
ify "God in the highest" and beg
"Peace on earth, good will to men,"
The hope of humanity is not in
power of wealth, in learning or by
force, but in that love for man, be-
gotten in the heart of man, by the love
of God.
This love which antedates Bethle-
hem and will survive all time, but finds
supreme expression by Calvary's cross
will forever bring good cheer to "Ken-
newick beside the Columbia" Gamer
lea, the beautiful" and all peoples of
the earth.
