GRANDMOTHER NOT so SLOW
Of Today, but She Seemed to
Get There.

Grandma disdained the first aids to
beauty-powder. rouge, eyebrow pencil
and eyelash lotion.
She acknowledged before the world
that she had ears. She exposed them
to view.
She attended church regularly. She
knew nothing Of theaters. movies and
chewing gum.
She danced the minuet with men
she knew. She would have been horri-
fed with the primrose dance, the hula
and the shimmie.
She wore high necks and lorg
sleeves, both trimmed with lace. She
would have considered the sash and
shoulder strap of today indecent.
Her skirt was very long and her toes
peeped in and out like tiny mice, we
are told. She would have been scan
dalized by the knee-length skirt, the
sheer hose and the low shoes of the
present mode.
She gave no thought of career, the
vote or the great question of the day.
And yet
She knew what to do when grand
father came along.-Judge.

EGYPT: A DIAMOND MINE

THE EVOLUTION OF FIRE
FIGHTING

TAe 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
progress from the romantic days of
the picturesque old hand tubs. Older
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 1t 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 throbs
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 fre-spitting demon. are drawing
farm wagons or blowing the field.
In by-gone days communities were
from all social ranks gave valuable
time to qualify for the service.
Fire fighting in some sort Of organ
lied form is ancient. Machines for
throwing water from a distance were
known, according to our first clear evil
dence. in the second century before
Christ. Heron of Alexandria, 200
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 wood
en- base with pistons fitted into them
in its principles practically like our
present engine. Like most other
knowledge, 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 1t was projected onto the fire
by those In charge of the "siphoneS
or hand pumps. The precise nature
of this instrument has not been deter
mined, but from specimens found in
excavations 1t must have 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 that
time one Of his governors. had long
and serious correspondence over the
ACCESSIBILITY Of organizing fire depart
ments in the cities under Pliny's 5uris-
diction, leading to the conclusion that
such groups would attain suficient
strength to be menace to the gov
eminent.
Mention IL made Of the medieval
use Of forcing pumps on IRE engines
At Augsburg in 1913 England and
the countries Of the continent were
using hand sQuirts and syringes at
this time. America teok her ideas
