Preventing
Fires
BY Loretto G. Lynch.

When we read over the Hfe report
at the end of the year even the
most conservative among US is apt
to be shocked. The loss of property,
not to mention lives. Is unbeliev-
able. And the worst Of 1t Is that
the majority of these fires originate
In our homes from some preventable
cause.
Take the kitchen. Each year more
and more women are coming to use
gas for cooking. No one should depend
on the small gas cocks for safety at
all times. Every woman should see to
IL that her range Is fitted with either a
lock or a main valve so that the
supply of gas can be completely
shut or oefore going to bed at
night or when leaving the house un-
tenated.
Tiny leaks often occur and the
gas collects in the oven. Unfor-
tunately, this sometimes occurs at
night. Then the housewife, with
out opening the door Of the oven.
attempts lighting one Of the burn
ers. The result is an explosion. a
fire and loss of property or life-or
both.
LOOSE GOWN.
Another cause of fire is the
wearing of a d. highly inflammablc.
loose gown, with the long, flow
ing kimono sleeves. by a woman
in working about her stove. The
semi-fitting washable gown, with
short sleeves on the order Of the
bungalow apron, is inexpensive,
decidedly more becoming to most
women and a thousand per cent
more safe.
The storing of matches in pa
per boxes or similar containers is
likewise the cause of fires. Mice
gnawing through paper boxes con-
tanning matches and consequently set
ting fire to these matches has been the
cause of more than one bad fire. There
fore store matches in tightly
covered tin or glass container.
OvERHEATED FAT.
Another cause of fire is the
overheating of fat or oil. When
you are using deep fat for frying
under no circumstances leave the
room even for few moments
without taking the pan of fat en-
tirely Off the stove.
1t may not be clear to every wom-
an that overheated fat flashes into
fame inside the pan. OF course, be-
tore TINS happens tnere are WARM
ing clouds of black smoke, but If
no one is present when the warn
ing is sent out, disastrous results
follow.
ASH RECEIVERS.
II there are smokers in the fam
lily be sure to provide ash receivers.
Bad fires sometimes occur because
a careless smoker nips flowing
ashes into the scrap basket already
full of paper. Providing several
handy ash receivers will be help
in the right direction, but, Of course.
after all, it is up to the man to be
careful in depositing cigar ashes.
Every leafet on fire prevention
warns folks to be careful not to
permit rubbish to accumulate. as
this is often the cause OF spreading
fire.

The Woman
Observer
PARENTAL INDULGENCE.

A short, fat. indulgent woman
was, walking along in the crowded
shopping district holding her small
son by the hand. One knew she
was indulgent by her size, for no
woman with any. self-respect or
character would acquire such
girth.
AS the boy walked along the curb,
he drew his finger through the
dust on the side Of a nice, new
shiny, expensive automobile.
"Dont do that, darling" the
woman overheard the fond parent
remark. you'll get your hands
dirty"
No word about scratching some
ones beautiful car, no suggestions
of restraint. The woman thought
as she left the pair behind her, how
surprised that same mother will be,
how panied and hurt, when situa-
tion arises which involves her. and
she finds out her son thinks only
of himself and has no regard for
the rights of others.
Who will be to blame. the mother
or the son?
DAME FASHIONS LITTLE JOKE.
Dame Fashion has decreed that
the fair sex shall wear streamers on
their hats and she further requires
that they hang from the right side
of the hat, anywhere from six
inches to two feet, 80 young women
and old women, women with thin
faces and women with thick faces,
tall faces. short faces. all are wear
ing streamers.
They may be made of ribbon or
chiffon or velvet. OF any kind of ma
terial. They are invariably unbe-
coming, but the milliner says they
are the latest word in style. SO,
girls, buy some streamers!

The two tennis balls recently
found in the dusty rsftcrs OF West

back to Henry Wills time t150o to
1547). They are leather covered
and stuffed with human hair and
will be handed over to the London

A Great Serial of
LOVE, MYSTERY. ADVENTURE
By Winston Churchill
By Winston Churchill,

"Yes. at once. You mustn't let
II feel as II ! had cast on that
kind OF worry forever. IL Is only
the other worries from which we do
not escape. from which we do not
wish to escape"
With a wonderful smile she had
dropped his hands and gone In at
the entrance, when sound made
them turn, the humming OF mo-
tor. And even as they looked II
swung into Park street.
"It's y taxicab!" she said. As-she
spoke II drew up almost beside
them. instead of turning In at the
driveway. the door opened, and .
man alighted.
"Prestonl" Alison exclaimed.
He started. turning from the
driver. whom he was about to pay.
As for Holder, he was not only un-
dsrgoing a certain shock through
the sudden contact at such a mo-
ment with Alison's brother; there
was an additional shock that this
was Alison's brother and Eldon
PARIS son.
Not that his appearance was
shocking, although the weli-clad,
athletic figure was growing trihe-
heavy, and the light from the side
lamps OF the car revealed dissipa-
tion in q still handsome face. The
effect was a subtler one. not to be
analyzed and due to a multitude of
preconceptions.
Alison came forward.
This is Mr.. Holder. Preston"
she said simply.
For a moment Preston continued
to stare at the rector without
speaking. Suddenly he put out his
hand.
"Mr. Holder, of St. John'sG" he
demanded.
"Yes." answered Holder. His sur
prise deepened to perplexity at the
warmth of the handclasp that fol-
lowed.
A smile that brought back vivid
ly to Holder the sunny expires ion
Of the 'schoolboy in the picture
lightened the features of the man.
"A GENUINE TONE.
"Tm very glad to see you." he
said, In a tone that left no doubt of
its genuine quality.
THANK you." Holder replied.
meeting his eye with kindness, yet
with a scrutiny that sought to pene-
trate the secret Of an unexpected
cordiality. 81, too, have hoped to
see you
Alison, who stood by wondering,
felt a meaning behind the rector's
words. She pressed his hand as he
bade her, once more. goodnight.
won't you take my taxicab"
asked Preston. 1T Is going down
town anyway"
~ think I'd better stick to the
street cars" Holder said. His re-
fusal was not ungraceful, but Arm.
Preston did not insist.
In spite OF the events Of that
evening, which he went over again
and again as the midnight car car
ried him eastward, in spite of
newborn happiness the actuality of
which was still difficult to grasp,
Holder was vaguely troubled when
he thought of Preston Parr.

COMPARING OF WORDS.

II you have o Crouch on he
doesn't tell you to get out in the
sunshine and work IL off. but he
blames 1t on your grandmother,
who wanted twins oncc when she
had triplets.
II you are in the dumps he
doesn't tell you to change your
boarding house, but he tells you
to take up modelling in clay.
The way he finds out what your
complex happens to be is by mem
tioning a word and making you
say the next word that comes to
your mind. Then by comparing
the two words and the length of
time it took you to think OF your
word he dopes out just what your
repressed desire is doing to you.
For example. IL he says solid"
and you answer "silvcr" he will
conclude that you were born to be
q burglar and missed your calling.
LIMITATIONS.
II he says kiss" and you an
swer backyard" he will explain
that when you we're nine years old
you had an impulse to kiss the
little girl who lived next door. He
may advise you to 60 out and hug
lamppost to get rid of your
complex.
Perhaps he murmurs June"
and you reply "bug.2 That means,
obviously, that you should have
been born a butterfly.
or II he says wife" and your
answer Is "two" you can draw
your own conclusions Even

CHAPTER XVII,

The bishops house was a COM
Portable double dwelling of a
smooth bright and red brick and
large, plate-glass windows, situ-
ated in a plot at the western end Of
Waverley place. 1t had been bought
by the diocese in the ninetes and
was representative Of that transit
tional period in American architec-
ture when the mansard roof had
been repudiated, when as yet no
definite types had emerged to take
its place. The house had pointed
gables, and tiny and utterly use
less porch that served only to dark
en- the front door, made of heavy
pieces of wood fantastically carved.
1t was precisely 10 o'clock in the
morning when Holder rang the bell
and was shown into the ample study
which he had entered on other and
less vital occasions. He found diff
ficulty in realizing that this pleas
ant room, lined with well-worn
books and overlooking a back lawn
where the clothes of the episcopal
family hung in the yellow autumn
sun, was to be his judgment seat,
whence he might be committed to
trial for heresy.

HOW'S Your
Complex?

We live in an enlightened age.
That is to say. we have discovered
fancy ways for explaining all tae
simple things Of existence-such as
stinginess and stomach ache.
1t used to be when a man was
stingy the neighbors called him
stingy, and let it go at that. And
when. you had the stomach ache
you admitted il.
But now all these things are
known as completes, and il you
want to be fashionable you are
supposed to go to q specialist or
psycho-analyst, who Is surrounded
by charts and scientific dope and
who undertakes to explain your
stomach ache In terms os the soul.
Instead of saying, Your liver is
lazy; take pill" he says. "Your
condition is due to hysteria, which
is due to the repression of & de-
sire, which is due to its conscious
rejection, but which is due t. it's
subconscious persistence, all OF

Miss Charlotte Boyles, who fled from her magnificent home in New Castle, Pa., in the night and has been found in London, deter mined to marry an American she met on the voyage and reject French Count she had sailed to marry. Miss Boyles, who is twen- ty-one ond recently inherited $250,000, is the daughter of Da- vid Boyles, a retired millionaire business man. She fled from her home at o'clock on the morning of July 5, and private detectives have been searching throughout the United States and Europe for her. It was thought Miss Boyles was enroute to Paris to elope with Count Guy Trepinard, who was recently guest at the Boyles home in New Castle and was one of Miss Boyles' numerous suitors. When seen in London Miss Boyles said the Count is a dandy chap" but her heart really belongs to an American she had met aboard the ship. She said she left home because she was tired of the dull routine.
