STORIES OF vENIzELos' BIRTH
Two Legends Told, One of Them Mar.
rated by the Great Greek States
man Himself.

There are many legends surround
ing the birth of Venizelos. Accord
ing to one, his mother went to the
Monastery of the Virgin near Canea
to pray for a son, promising the child
should be born in cattle shed after
New Testament tradition. Another
tells the same story with this addi-
ton: When the abbot christened
Venizelos he uttered, following the
mothers wish, these prophetic words !:
II baptize thee Eleutherios, for thou
shalt deliver our long-suffering island
from the tyranny of the Turks"
In the Life OF Venizelos." by S.
3. Chester, still another story is told,
based on incidents narrated by the
Greek statesman himself at dinner
party In London. His parents. hav-
ing already lost three children, de-
cided to follow the local custom and
adopt him as a founding. There was
a superstition that the child would
survive only II treated In this fashion.
Eleutherios was duly taken away
from his mother and deposited on a
heap of dry leaves outside the house.
Passing by soon afterward, some
friends, who, Of course, played their
role In the secret, discovered" the
child, brought him to his parents and
urged that they adopt him as a found
ling. They did, ind Eleutherios sur
vived and prospered.

MAKING Library Helpful.

Presenting that public library Is
80 well conducted that its custodians

step for an ideal institution would be

Miniature Libraries.

A curious idea In book making is
offered by firm of French publishers.
Their plan consists Of substituting for
the large pages Of the average books
microphotographic reproductions of
them to be read through a magnifying
glass.
1t is proposed that the size of the
plates representing pages should be In
ternationally standardized, so that any
one possessing the magnlfying appara-
tus would be able to read any book
produced In this way. No technical
difficulties are said to be In the way.
1t is claimed that the cost OF pro-
duction would be enormously reduced.
Also 1t would greatly reduce the work
Of libraries now numbered by books
Of every shape and size. The plates
would be, moreover. Of fire-proof
and durable material, while the system
admits of an edition being enlarged to
any dimension desired In accordance
with demand.

dislike to be out of accord with the
majority of congress which has
voted the bestowal. The simple
truth is that this bill proposes a

of funds for the extraordinary ex-
penditure which the executive
branch of the government must

Appeals to Reflection
II would rather appeal, therefore,
to the candid reflections of congress

vice men in particular as to the
course better suited to further the
welfare of our country. These ex-
soldiers who served so CALAMITY in

Gus in the progress of the republic
in the half-century before US, must
know that nations can only survive
where taxation is restrained from
the limits of oppression, where the
public treasury is locked against
class legislation, but ever open to
public necessity and prepared to
meet all essential obligations. Such
policy makes a better country
for which to fight, or to have fought
for, and affords a surer abiding
place in which to live and attain.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
GIVES WARNINGS

The Winnemucca Volunteer Fire
Department has started out on a
missionary campaign to help you
cut down the fires and fire losses
in this community and we need your
assistance, every day in the year, to
accomplish this to the best advant-
age.
The few suggestions that. I will
offer here, each week, will be small
things that you are able to right
yourself and may be the means of
saving your own or neighbours home
from destruction.
The condition of the electrical
wiring in town is one of the worst
hazards with which we have to
conetnd and the negligence of the
people sometimes adds to this haz-
ard. If you cause short circuit
in your home and burn out a fuse,
what do you do? put in some kind
of make shift fuse until you have
time to get another? Don't do that,
for that fuse is the safety valve
of your electric system and when
that burns out there is something
wrong; and to put in a fuse that
will not burn out may cause the
electric system-your best servant
in the home-to set fire to that
home at some least expected place
and time.
There is an ordinance in effect
about the burning of trash, etc.,
within the city limits and regulating
the hours of such fires. You may
not know it but such fires must be
started before 10 a. m. and ex-
tinguished before dark. Why is
that? Simply this: If they are
started early in the morning they
have reasonable time in which to
burn out before night and they will
not be forgotten. A bonfire is not
to be started on a windy day at all
because wind and fire cannot be
managed.
Did you ever think of the safety
that lies in a fire-extinguisher in
the home? You may think they are
for the use of the firemen but if
you have one handy and will see
that it is always in working order
it may save you or yours a great
deal of grief some time. There are
great many extinguishers on the
market and the small expense of
installing one is, indeed, small COM
pared to what it might save for
you sometime.
l heard, the other day, of lady
heating her curling iron over
canned-heat burner of some sort
and of dropping her pyralin comb
into this flame. What happened?
A pyralin comb, or other toilet ar
ticle is the same, or nearly SO, as
gunpowder and it burned, and
quickly too. Presence of mind
probably saved her home as well as
possible injury to herself.
If one of the fire department
members suggests to you to make
some change about your premises
to make it safer, do not think he
is trying to show his authority. He
is trying to do you a service and
offer you suggestions that maybe
you have overlooked.
Think over these suggestions.
Look about your wiring and use
proper fuse plugs; do your burning
in the morning on still days; get
some good liquid fire-extinguisher;
be careful of your flame curling
iron heater and your ivory" toilet
articles, and heed the suggestions
offered by the fire boys and we will
go through the year without any
sad experiences of lost homes, or
lost, or injured, loved ones, from
the fire evil.
