High Fires and High Pressure.

Good f1refighting service yesterday
undoubtedly saved this city from a
most grievous loss when the blaze in
the Willard Hotel was confined to the
top story. in which it originated. AS a
result of prompt and efficient work
against the greatest Of difficulties. the
fire was checked. though naturally
much damage was done to the struc-
ture and it's contents by water. The
problem of fighting this Willard Hotel
fire is one that calls for particular con-
sideration. with view possibly to
lessening the dangers from this source
in future. The fire was at height
ders in the departments equipment
1t was just barely within the range Of
q stream from the water tower. which
rendered most effective service at the
critical stage Of the blaze. A little
more and the streams could not have
been carried to the scene Of the fire,
and the total destruction Of the build
ing would probably have resulted.
This experience suggests that no
more time should be lost in establish
ing high pressure fire service in the
downtown section Of the city. A plan
to this effect was preached fully twen-
ty years ago, when 1t was estimated
that the cost would be only 100000.
1t would cost, Of course, much more
than that now. With the high pressure
service maintained by pumps placed
at the riverside it would be possible
to flood the largest fire in the highest
building In this city without extraordi-
nary devices.
This plan has been brought forward
again and again, only to be neglected.
Meanwhile the city has grown greatly
in size, the values concentrated in the
downtown section have increased enor-
mously, the buildings have increased
in height, and, what is most impor-
tant, the quantity Of water available
for firefighting has relatively de-
creased through a greater consump-
ton for public and domestic use. 1t
would seem to be the surest economy
to appropriate for the comparatively
cheap installation Of special mains
and high-power pumps. giving a de-
gree of protection that could never be
afforded with even the most efficient
Of steamer services.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON,


Our happiness Is not complete.
Can't some ono tell us why?
Electric lights adorn the street
Like stars In yonder sky.
The telephone heeds every CALL.
A chariot waits for great and small.
We are not happy, after all.
Can't some one tell US why?
We say that something must be
wrong.
Can't some one tell us why7
The photograph makes life song
And folks have learned to fly.
Great buildings rise upon the spot
Which last week was a vacant lot.
We should be happy. but we're not.
Can't some one tell US why?

EUR0PE's NOT THE BLAME

Those who nave ben attributing American aericuI-
tural depression to the failure of Europe TO take our
surplus farm products viii receive a severe iot from
the recent announcement Of Herbert Hoover, secretary
Of commerce that probably no amount of governmental
financing would increase the flow of farm exports to
Europe. As a matter of fact, Mr.. Hoover points out,
there has been no difficulty in Europe in financing
III the purchases Of American foods that the people
wanted. and our exports of foodstufs, during 1921
were the graetest in our history.
And then in his characteristic analytical way. Mr..
Hoover goes farther and AYERS that exports are NOT suf-
heient to account for the hardships which have befalen
Inc farmers. About 30 per cent Of our farm products
are consumed at home, SO if our folks keep eating as
tney should there Will always be a pretty good market
for what the farmer has to sell.
But that isn't saying that the farmer can always
get lis stuff to market and get enough for it to pay
him to raise l. Right here in our own country there
are conditions which are making the farmer more
trouble than the bad conditions of exchange or the
poverty IN Europe. There are transportation and
marketing agencies that exact so much that the con-
sumers of this country have to cut down their grocery
bills. They buy less Of what the farmers have to sell
ana that qneers the farmers market. Financing
Europe with more loans won do much to fix up this
wrong when Europe already IS buying all it can use.
Those who would befriend the farmers viii do

be solved.

DsNARTEsT THING ON EARTH"

Mary Austen the writer. in a recent magazine
article, declares the girl Of the day in America the
smartest thing the world has ever seen, being a law
unto herself ana compelling the rest Of the world 10
take her at her own valuation and to let her do as
she pieases.
While there are many who will not agree with
Mrs. Austen and some will pronounce the modern girl
entirely too smart for her own good. there VIII be none
TO dispute her self-assurance. Girls Of tender years
aspire to most everything nowadays. In Ohio there
is a girl mayor in one town and a girl prohibition agent
in the other. while from Kansas City, Kan, comes
word that a girl Of % years has entered the race for
the nomination for governor Of her state. The amazing
thing ABOUT this candidacy is the speed with which the
young woman works. She was q salesgirl in a de-
partueut store a year ago, but since then has been lee
turing on how to do away with war and is the founder
of the Antt-War Association of Kansas, with branches
all over he state.
the reason given by the Kansas girl for wishing
to be governor is that man is the root cause Of war and
salvation from it must come through woman.
A good opinion Of yourself is necessary to ac-
complisb anything, but it may be carried too far, as
in the case of the young woman of New Orleans, who
tried to commit suicide because here was not a man
on earth good enough for her.

A MATTER OF THINKING.

The other day a woman psychologist of New York
with a standing which commands respectful attention
told an audience thar since mind is the creator and
adapter. all one needs to do to secure physical changes
is to do the necessary thinking. Women. she said, can
reduce or increase their weight by the right sort OF
thinking and can alter their facial features by the
changeful thought process. Every woman is her own
%beautider.
If this seems too individual TO be accepted as
scientific, the judgment of Jean Finot. one Of Frances
celebrated psychologists and authors on psychology. re-
Gently deceased, may be placed along side Of it as a
strengthened. NJ. Finot does not touch upon those
physical changes in which the New York expert special
ICES, but presents others of greater Importance, at
least to the male Of the species.
He says he reason why men have not easily lived
TO be at least 100 years cid is because for centuries
mankind has been taught and come to believe in the
70-year limit. II was so because everybody believed
it to be that way and the constant thinking completed
the process. Now if mankind is as consistently taught
that this thesis is a bIunder. that men should, can and
win live to be 100 years old as easily as 70-the thing
is done. All that is necessary is the thinking. It may
be worth trying to those who believe they want to live
to be 100 years old.

WATSON'S LATEST LEAK.

When Mr.. Watson, Of Georgia, was elected to the
United States senate it was predicted that his speciality

which attrack popular notice, finds that he can secure
publicity only through sensational performances such

Mr.. Watson's questioning OF the Iegal right Of

GOVERNOR SAYS
HELPING HAND
NEED OF FALLEN
Urges Assistance to Restore
Former Prisoners to Places
in Society.

Former prisoners should be assisted In
returning to their places in society rather
than be treated as outcasts, Governor
Warren T. McCray told members Of the
mems and women's Bible classes at the
Memorial Presbyterian Church yesterday.
He pointed out that many young men
have become good and useful citizens
after leaving correctional and penal in
stitutiOns.
The average age Of prisoners in the
institutions Of the State is continually
growing less, the Governor said. He said
the average age at the State farm Is
q years and that the average at the
reformatory is only slightly higher. He
said this fact is an indictment Of society.
Good influences about these young
offenders will lessen crime" he said. 1T
will require all the help that the good
citizens can lend to remedy the situation.
I feel that if, when these young meh
come out of those State institutions, they
can be made wards n some way of such
clubs as the Rotary and .Kiwanis, or come
under the guidance Of some religious or
ganizaton, it will be easier for them. We
can not permit them to go with looks OF
scorn and distrust cast upon them. They
need all the helpful attention society
can give them. The first year or two
after they get out Is the crucial period OF
their lives"
The Governor also defended the parole
and indeterminate sentence systems.

WOMAN SKATER
KILLED BY PLANE
Pilotless Aircraft Plunges
Into Crowd on Ice.

RED BANK. y. J.. Jan. 1e.-The
plunge of a pnotless airplane into a
throng OF skaters on the Shrewsbury
River. which resulted in the death Of a
woman and the serious injury to a
man who tried to save her, was believed
II investigators today to have been
caused by an unexpected opening of a
home made throttle.
The airplane, IN which James Casey,
ex-Army aviator was giving JOY rides
from the ice yesterday. leaped over its
restraining blocks when the pilot whirled
the propeller to start it.
gust Of wind turned the roaring
plane straight toward q group Of nearly
1000 skaters who had gathered to watch
the start.
The plane cut down with its
whirling propeller Mrs Anna Hounihan
Of Red Bank. who had been skating with
her husband and two children. Her
brother, Lawrence Conley. who leaped
In front OF the plane to push her to
safety lost his forearm in the Whirring
propeller.
Casey was arrested, charged with man
slaughter, and held in 81 800 ball.
