been visited by 100000 people in
the nine-year trip around the world,
upon which Captain D. H. Brown took
her for exhibition purposes. The Sue
cess is tn only ship left Of the trans
ports which served 100 years ago as
floating prisons, to take Britain's over
flow Of prisoners to the penal settle
ment In Australia. She is handsome
ship, according to the standards Of
that day, with hand cravings and teak
wood finish frightened with gilt over
lays and escutcheons. Capt. Brown
has it fitted up with wax figures Of the
most notorious convicts staring from
their close cells, and with the iron
chains and the original "cat-o'-nine-
tails" in brave display. And, as | said,
visitors have flocked to it by the mil
lions in its long cruise Every small
boy living in a small town adjacent to

seen its horros, but that doesn't dull
the edge of New York's interest in the

LONDON MOANS; GAYETY
LACKS; STRIKE REASON

London. - All society is bemoaning
the failure of the London season. Inc
week preceding the Derby should have
seen social gayety approaching It's
height; but the widespread enects Oh
the coal crisis have put a damper on
the round of pleasures scheduled Tor
this time of the year, and old stagers
find 1t hard to recall any similar
period when SO little private enter
tanning was done.
No society debutantes are coming 10
town. Shortage of money has caused
many society folk to cancel all their
London engagements and to spend the
summer as cheaply as possible In the
country. BY the kings desire courts
have been postponed and hotels and
theaters are reporting slumps.
There are a number of overseas WIS.,
itors in London, but mot enough to

who have come over for the polo

Dressmakers, tailors and entertain
ment caterers are doing next to moth

neriod of industrial unrest makes 1t
impossible to see a month ahead.
Efforts we're made to make the Hen
lev regatta a social success. Henley is
always a gay dress pageant. Accord
ing to the fashion papers the modish
colors are yellow and red, with flower
and fruit designs and with hats trim

tables.
The only benefit the coal strike has
conferred upon London is the absence
of smoke and fog. The continued clear

SUGGESTIONS MADE
ON FIRE PREVENTION
BY STATE BUREAU.
Kentucky Bureau Of Fire Prevention
Issues Instructions to
Citizens.

The following suggestions from the
state fire prevention department
should be read carefully:
Instruct children. A little time spent
1 nteaching children the dangers of
matches, bonfires and carelessness
with fire, may save their lives and will
most assuredly prevent injuries
through fire.
Extinguish bonfires. Don't leave a
fire burning even If 1t is almost out
That's the kind that will blaze again
If the wind rises and 1t may be in the
night when it will embrace valuable
property before discovered.
No home eiether in the city or vii
lage or on the farm should be without
fire extinguished for immediate use
in case of fire.
Owners Of automobiles should exer-
else special care in looking after their
machines to see that there are no
leaks in the gas tank Reserve supplies
Of gasoline should be stored at dis
lance from any othr buildings and II
possible in a on-inflammable shed, or
betterSet in an underground tank.
In the matter of construction, par
ticular attention should be given to
the chimney. All chimneys should be
substantially built and should be laid
on a solid foundation. They should
begin at the ground and extent up
ward we'll above the gable of the roof
No timbers should be allowed to resi-
upon any part of the chimney.
Theaters are too often built witt
little thought of safety to patrons II
case of fire. They have INADEQUATE
exits and are allowed to be crowded
beyond safety, with scores of lives a
stake, neglecting even the most com
mon precautions.
What the country neeus Is ha'ion"
team work in fighting fire waste. ou'
schools have a double responsibility al
we'll as opportunity to assist by IFS
putting their own premises in orde
and secondly by welding powerful
educationa Influence.
The Department of Fire Prevention
and Rates is putting forth Its best ell
forts to reorganize the village fire ae
partments and to impress upon TN
city councils and village boards TN
great necessity of maintaining pet
, ter organized department. In man.
instances our efforts have been sue
cessful.
Fire prevention should not De con
sidered an odd time job but shou'
, have consideration every minute U
, the 365 days in the year and part q
, the nights too.
