THE WIDE-AWAKE CIRCLE

tories need fire to keep the machinery go- ing to manufacture articles.
 But fire is also very dangerous and the fire department is trying hard to make people realize how much harm can be done by fire. It Is our chief means of preventing and putting out fires. But it must have the help of every one. In order to carry out it's work the fire de- partment has gone to great expense of time and money guarding against and preparing to fight fire.
 The average citizen knows very little about the subject If every tone knew the true meaning of fire prevention. there would be a great saving of life and property.
 There are many ways in which chil- dren can help practice at home wha i they have learned in school of the danger | of fire. Making no bonires or playing
 with matches. .Grownups, too, should d' | their share. Many people do not realiz' l how careless they are with matches
 Matches have been the cause of some o | the biggest fires. Most fires start il
 homes, where rubbish and old papers ar l thrown In such place a careies 1 dropping of a match may start seri ous fire.

Two and a Honey Pot.

Dear Uncle Jed: Buster Bear found the pot of honey in a daisy field He didn't know, at first what to make of it
 Then he put his paws into it and be- gan to lick them off And it tasted so good that he ate it au, and then he went home to supper and his mother said Do you want some cake?" and he re- fused all that she gave him. She said. guess you want some jam. But he refused the jam. And that was above all things that he liked and his mother did not know what was the matter with him. After that his father came rushing in. His eyes were snapping, and he said 'There is a honey thief around here and must find him. ! So then little Buster began to ask questions. He wanted to know what honey was and his mother cuffed him and said "Stop your crazy noise, let your father tell his story" After he had eaten his supper. he said he would go and find the honey thief
 with him. His father said he could il he would keep still. so he promised | that he would keen still. 1 When they got there little Buster go tired and sat down. He began to rol around. His father began to laugh. Th' lmother heard them and came running through the woods to see what was thu matter.
 They found that little Buster was | sick. so they took him home.
 His father asked him what he hal been eating. He said he found some
 thing in 3 pail ill the daisy field. Then his father said he ate all tn hoDey, and it made him sick.
 So his father knows who ate all hi honey. and he was not angry any more | LUCILLE HARRINGTON. Age 12. Franklin.

Edwin Werts, of Hartford, The accident happened in Columbia, abOut three miles west of this city on the Hartford WIllimantic state ruad.
 According to the story of Werts he and two companions were returning to RzRtfoTd and Were approaching 8 turn in tho road at Columbia when the Ford truck, driven by Welch, turned the cor ner and came straight into them. No one iu the Chalmers was injured, but Welch suffered cuts on the face caused by f1y- ing glass from the broken windshield and was badly bruised about the body, one ankle being badly wrenehed. A companion of Welch in the Ford, according to the story of the Hartford men, was thrown over the front of their car and landed tH some bushes at the side of the road His name was given as Sullivan. All in dications were that he escaped serious injury
 Deputy Motor Vehicle Inspector John B E5sarton of this city was called and made sn investigation. The report that D Welch and his companion were intoxicat- ed if to be investigated and if proof is sufficient he will face the Columbia au- thorities on two counts, one of reckless driving. the other of driving while under he influence of intoxicating liquors.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES

"Cut your corners. Don't go way out of your way" sounds like good advice and probably would be in most instances but when it was given to several chil- dren by mother at time when they were preparing to cross a congested cor ner when traffic was heavy, and the cut ting of the corner took them out of the protected line of travel, it was taking chances and putting ideas which might have been carried out well enough by adults into the minds of children. who need to exercise care in dodging about the steets.
 This incident followed coseIy after the 1 serious injury of 8 little girl who dodg- l ed out from in back of an automobile | directly in front of another, the driver i of which could not stop in time to avoid striking her If she lives she will be a cripple for life.
 ] Cutting corners is good policy il regard to the saving of unnecessar! steps, and it was with that primarily il mind that the children on the busy cor Her were advised to take a, course o their own through the traffic, but it | not a wise move when it comes to dis regarding safety.
 You have probably heard the goldel advice that the longest way around i i the surest way home. It might also b urged that the longest way around i the safest way home if by taking a fey
 extra. steps you follow the paths of safe
 ty.
 To cut corners It is realized is temp
 tation, quite the same as hustIing t

 it it is well to give thought to safet l first
