Fire Prevention Day
MONDAY. OCTOBER 10
Hazards in the Home.

The annual fire loss in the State of
Pennsylvania is approximately $40,
100000, and an analysis of this loss
show that So percent of the fires
occur in the home, the majority of
the causes being of preventable
nature.
Improperly constructed and un-
clean cEimneys, close location of fur
naces and stoves to partitions and
walls, combustible and inflamable
materials and rubbish in close con-
tact thereto, produce large percent
age of fires in the home that could
be prevented.
In view of the Fall and approaching
Winter months, all heating equip
ment and stoves should be examined
for the purpose of correcting defects
chimneys and stovepipes should be
cleaned and repaired if necessary, and
rubbish and waste materials in the
cellar or other parts of the house and
premise be removed. Hot ashes should
never be deposited in wooden barrels
or boxes or against combustible mat
erial. The removal of hazards of thi.
character will materially reduce The
fire losses of preventable nature oe
curing in the home, and insure ;
safer place in which to live

Once more Premier Lloyd George

Valera's personal assurance to the
contrary, 1t might involve the govern

government feels that conference is
the most practical way of accomplish

therefore Lloyd George extends to De
Valera a fresh invitation to a confer

A group of Artists spent part of
the week end looking over the site of
the proposed Community House from
various vantage points for the pur-
pose of suggesting to the Architects

in keeping with thhe spirit of Sole

the style of architecture which has
made Solebury beauty spot, attract

America.
The clearing for the actual site of
the building is progressing steadily
On Saturday many interested volun-

Brotherhood
Favors Strike

Our own strike threat comes in the
railway work. For days the votes of
the rail union members have been
coming in to headquarters, the ques-
tion being whether there shall be
walkout because of the reduced wages
established by the federal railway
labor board and the working agree
ments and conditions decreed. The
vote of the brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen already has been counted
and is announced as being 90 per cent
in favor of a strike. The votes of the
other brotherhoods are being counted,
and it is taken for granted that they
will solidly support the stand taken
by the trainmen. OF course this does
not mean that a strike is certainty,
for the final decision rests with the
brotherhood officials and grievance
committees. Many of the officials are
very reluctant to issue the order that
will tie up the country's transporta-
tiOn facilities.

Valuable Dog
Cruelty Killed

New Hope What was the most I'M
feeling and cruel slaughtering of a
dog ever perpetrated in this COM
munity occurred Wednesday night at
Lahaska when William Jameson Tor
Jamison) killed with a shot gun a
valuable American Fox Hound be-
longing jointly to J. D. McCauley and
Radford Brillman, both of this place.
McCauley and Brillman, accompanied
by Dorsey Dillon and Timothy Nc
Carly. went for coon hunt in the
hills back of New Hope, and carried
the dog, whose name was Jolly,
and who was broken for coon hunt
ing. About 1890 Jolly struck a trail
that led to Lahaska. The coon was
finally freed in lane leading to the
house of Jameson. The party hurried
to reach the point, knowing by Jolly's
barking that the coon was freed.
Suddenly the dog stopped barking,
and almost Immediately a shot rang
out, accompanied by cry of pain by
the dog. When the party arrived near
the spot they went up the lane and
found jolly lying in a pool of blood,
with a bloody trail that appeared
to have been made by dragging, as
if to conceal the body in the bushes.
No one was in sight, and after call
ing, the party succeeded in getting
Jameson from the house. When con-
fronted with the act, he admitted he
killed the dog, but said he thought
it was a skunk. He didn't think when
making the excuse that it is against
the law to shoot skunks at this seas
on, or that no skunk in the knowledge
of man ever barked like a dog.
1t is very evidently a wanton case
of cruelty to dumb animals, besides
destroying a valuable dog that done
no harm. 1t is q pity that Bucks Co.
hasn't such man as Wallace Thorn
ton to set a few examples for such
cruelty and brutality. The dog was
licensed, and all the members of the
hunting party were registered accord
ing to law. Mr.. McCauley and Mr..
Brillman place value of $500. on
the dog, and have already instituted
proceedings against Jameson for
damages. But no amount, no matter
how large, can compensate for the
loss of so intelligent and lovable an
animal as Jolly was. Mr. Brillman's
mother was devoted to it, insisting.
on getting up in the middle of the
night whenever it returned from a
hunt, and feeding and tending it be-
for it went to its bed. She wept as if
she had lost a child when its death
was reported to her. 1t is certainly
hoped that this affair may serve as
an object lesson to those who lack
a sense of craftsmanship and kind
ness.

The League of Nations had a flare
up over this question last week. The
British and French delegates opposed
resolution calling on a fixed com
mission to make general proposals for
reduction of ornaments, and Lord
Robert Cecil. representing South Afri-
ca, declared 1t was vital for the league
and for peace that something be done,
and that Great Britain and France
should either present their own pro-
posals or cease ohstructing the prof.
ects put forward by others. The
resolution was adopted. A commit
tee named TO submit an opinion on
the competence of the league to re-
wise treaties, as was asked by Bolivia
in the case of the Peru Bolivia pact,
found that the assembly cannot of It
self modify any treaty, that being
solely within the competence of the
contracting parties.
