Those five false fire alarms in Brat
tleboro during a month, one of which
delayed the ringing of an alarm for a
real fire, constituted one of the most
provoking and most dangerous infrac-
tions of the law among the so-called
minor offenses on the criminal calen-
dar. Surely no one with grain Of
commonsense would indulge in such an
infraction Of the law. 1t is generally
some hare Drained individual who has
either escaped from lunatic asylum
or who ought to be an inmate of such
an institution who INDUCES in that
sort of thing. No doubt the Brattle

this sort could be traced back 20 a

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
IN HAY.

The current number OF the Washington
County Farm Bureau News gives time
ly warning to farmers about me dan
ger of spontaneous combustion in hay
that is moved into barn while in a
damp condition. The farm nontem-
porary asserts that it. is generally CON
ceded that there is such thing as
spontaneous combustion in hay but
declares that the combustion will not
take place in hay which carries only
its own moisture, even if quite damp"
The combustion takes place, according
to this contemporary, in hay which is
put into the barn when wet with dew
or rain; and hay, when curing, does
heat dangerously high and should,
therefore. be left alone or treated TO
keep it, compact as the opening up of
the hay admits more air and increases
the danger of fire. These are some
valuable points TO be considered by
farmers of Vermont who are now en-
gagged in the process of curing and
storing of their 1922 crop of nay, es-
pecially in view of the fact that the
haying season has been accompanied
BY great many rainfalls. which
soaked the cut grass. No doubt the
farm bureau agent at Montpelier
would be willing TO take up the mat
ter more in detail should any farmer
desire added information regarding the
danger from spontaneous combustion
in hay.

LIVING WAGE IN DETROIT.

To the majority of the railway labor
board, the living wage" idea is an alb
straction and an absurdity. according to
a recent statement To Edsel Ford.
head of the Ford Motor Co and one of
the biggest employers of labor in the
country. it is a definite, practical and
commendable thing And in view of the
success the Ford family has had in a
highly competitive business, possibly the
young man knows what he is talking
about.
According to the Ford idea, every
workman ought to own his own home
and have a garden and bank account
and be able to give his children good
education, and in order to accomplish
this he ought to have a wage of not less
than 50 day. The city of Detroit
seems to agree. On Nov l minimum
wage of 50 for an eight-hour day went
into effect on one of the municipal street
railway lines, with a view to extending
it to all the other lines if it succeeds
Most people, whether theoretical ex-
perts or actual employers, will hardly
put the minimum so high as this. Yet
il is surprising how many people not on
the railway labor board believe that it
is possible to fix a wage minimum to in
sure decent living according to American
standards, and that employers should
recognize such a minimum when it is
established and would profit by doing so
in the end.
