FIRE


apparatus, a well trained fire depart
ment and plenty of water, the city of
Newport would undoubtedly have suf-
fered an appalling fire loss last week.
AS it was several individuals lost
thousands of dollars each, the COM
munity sustains a distinct loss and
scores of properties, hundreds of in
dividuals and important industries
were threatened.
For some reason Orleans county
suffers large fire losses by comparison
with other sections of the state. Last
year Orleans county towns suffered
fire losses of over 100000 and only
one other county in the state reached
the 100000 mark. The next nearest
county was more than $4,000 below
Orleans. In the number of fires Or
leans county outranks every other
county in Vermont and records thus
far this year would indicate bad
start.
Carelessnes cannot be condemned
too severely but proper ire-fghting
equipment is essential Common
sense expenditure for means to con-
troll fire when it has started is a thing
that should have the approval of ey-
cry citizen.
Water is fires natural enemy and
an abundant water supply available
at all times is a thing which requires
a few dollars from our pockets in tax
es or in any other manner and should
never be begrudged. Happening to
be present at a recent fire among the
first and before the fire-fghting
equipment arrived the following re-
mark by another early arrival is sig
nifcant. Apparently from a COM
munity. where there was no fire pro-
lection, this man said, eff that fire
was on a roof in my town it would
mean the loss of the building and
probably others" He was excited
because the fire company had not
come in sight, but in two minutes
from that time the fire was entirely
under control.
What is few dollars when ones
house is burning, and what consider
alton should few dollars for fire pro-
lection have even before the fire.
Several smaller communities in
Orleans county have recently moved
for some means of fire protection and
they are to be commended for it, but
others, even with the example of
South Albany, East Charleston, Cow
entry, and Newport Center before
them, fail to make their communities
better fire risks.
The abundant supply of water In
Viewpoints reservoir on Thursday
night was the means of saving the
city from really devastating fire,
and any method of conserving the
supply, or adding to it for times of
drouth, should be considered as sane.
Fortunately the larger ecenters in
Orleans county have sufficient water
protection and every community
which has no protection should con-
slider chemical or water equipment as
essential.
Let the warning of Newport be an
example to every other Orleans
county center. When fire starts in
section where a gale carries flames
and cinders over other property, it is
too late to act

Writing for the Screen.

CEVERAL years ago. when was work
~ ing for moving picture company,
an organization of writer's asked me to
talk to them about writing for the screen
The only thing l said was that the best
way to write for the screen was TO forget
the screen and write as well as they
knew how. Anything less than that,
pointed out, would be unfair to both
the writer and the screen. Unless
the screen could make use of the writer's
finest work he would be doing himself a
grave injustice to take it into considera-
tion. Moreover, the screen, though it had
not then discovered the fact, was in dire
need of real literature, literature embody-
ing American ideas and ideals. and writ
ing done to measure would prevent the
screen from developing to a point where
it would be the authors servant and not
his master.-By K. b. ia the Christian

The Ten Essential Novels.

THE Daily Express in London has be-
L gun a controversy on the ten novels
every one should read" and one of the
writer's gives a list which is essential
to every educated person" 1t contains
Vanity Fair "Esmond," David Copper
field" The Old Curiosity Shop" Jane
Eyre" "Wuthering Heights The Mill
On the Floss" The Newcomes," Tess of
the D'Urbervilles" and Don Quixote."
The mid-Victorian proclivities are OBJ
vious, though it is a little difficult to
understand why all reference to George
Meredith has been omitted Perhaps,
however, the compiler of this list does
not regard Meredith as a>novelist so much
as an analytical essayist.-From the

The Scepter of Artistic Dominance.

T CONSIDEr that the scepter of artis-
tic dominance began to pass as long
as twenty years ago from the nations
who then held it-that is. from England,
France and Germany-to other nations
whose energy enables them to accept the
great legacy. These other nations are
America, Russia and Italy. and it is from
these rivalries and corporations that the
new social order and the new art and
literature will emerge; with our assist
ance, hope, for we are younger than they
all, and essentially more energetic than
the three together. Ireland may never
have existed as a political entity. but as
center of essential energy Ireland de-
serves to be ranked as one of the Won
ders of the world.-FrOm "The Outlook

MIR. LLOYD GEORGE will come forth
1S1 at a single step to the head of all
the authors that ever were. No sooner
did the subservient editors make the
announcement than they prophesied,
loudly and confidently the success of
their hero. OF course they judge the
masterpiece by a single standard-the
immediate profit which it will make.
They began by limiting that they would
not be surprised if the genius of the
great man were not rewarded by six fig
ures. and after the simple passage of a
week they declared, openly and with au-
thority, that six figures had, already been
offered and accepted. There's triumph
for you! Mr.. Lloyd George, already the
Welsh Pitt, will emerge after a brief
recess as the Welsh Shakespeare But

Swift, however, bore the leagues of his

Browning in French.

1e does not sound an altogether
promising proposition. Indeed, Of all the
modern poets of England one would i'm
agine that he would be the most dificult
to interpret to foreigner In spite Of all
drawbacks, however, an interesting selec-
ton of Browning's poems has been made
by two translators, Paul Alfassa and Gil
bert de voisins, who have grappled by no
means unsuccessfully with the acknowl
edged difficulties of the 'enigmatic" poet.
Mary Duelaux writes a foreword which
is to all intents and purposes careful
study carried out in fashion which must
be undoubtedly agreeable to French
readers. Nine. Duclaux is not afraid of
graphing with problems either of in
depreciation or translation, and the little
book published by the Librairie Grasset
is an admirable example of that difficult
art of translation of which the late Mr..

WHAT pity it is. Mr.. Chesterton very
w sensibly remarks in the course of
these American notes, that Dickens wrote
Martin Chuzzlewit" in such a sulky tenn
per! If his mood had been only little
less glum he might have kept all the
humors of his picture of the United States
and yet sweetened them with touch OF
kinhliness. We might then have had an

affection that we do for Mr. Pickwick or

ley's jollity is too much Of spell of the
dry grins. Failing this aid from Dickens.
Mr.. Chesterton has had to do the best he
can for himself. He is not at all bad
substitute if not for "the new Martin
Chuzzlewit" at any rate for the new Mark
