BALM FOR RAINY VACATIONS
"Weather Insurance" Designed to
Give Monetary Solace to Travel
ers That Are Unfortunate.

Got all your vacation toys? Got
your fishing tackle, your round trip
ticket, your mosquito lotion and your
rain insurance?
Yes. there's balm In Gilead at last
for the bitterest of human tragedies.
For there's no denying that rainy
vacation Is a worse catastrophe than
a collision Of planets, even if the lat
ter involved the wiping out of all
ones wife's relations.
The balm consists of bet made
with you by an insurance company
that 1t won't rain during your vaca-
ton. In other words. you take out a
rain policy for that period. And then,
II 1t happens to pour cats and dogs all
the time you have the consolation of
collecting tidy sum of rain insur-
ance when you return TO town. You
may be so constituted that the money
would fail to console you for the lost
vacation days, but there are other fell
lows who would pray for rain in order
to beat the company"
The idea comes from England, where
all sorts Of freak assurances are prac-
tfced. Records of the United States
weather bureau are used to figure out
rates based on the probabilities OF
precipitation In any given part of the
United States and Canada. One in
surance company points with pride to
the fact that last year 1t paid SILL
1925 to the Waltham fair on account
Of loss due to rainy day, the fair
corporation having taken out a rain
policy. And the Kansas free fair at
Topeka was protected by a $4,000
rain policy with British company.

HAD MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS LOOK
Washington Correspondent Tells Of
Joke Played by Senators on
Veteran Capitol Barber.

One of the most remarkable things
afout men, be they of high or low es-
tate, is that they never grow up.
Take for instance, that group of ell
der statesmen in the United States
senate. Here is the trick they were
caught playing on Sims, the old negro
barber at the capitol, who has been
shaving them and their kind for forty
years.
Sims Is preacher and great Bibli-
cal authority when he is not shaving
senators. He IS profoundly religious.
he has confidence in his fellows.
So. when Senator Harry New of In
diana told Sims that he had present
for him, the venerable barber walked
into the trap all unsuspectng
The senator said he wanted to be-
stow his present in private. He and
Sims went into an anterOOm. The SEN
atOr squatted down and Sims did like
wise. The senator took from his pock-
ct large-sized pair of dice and rolled
them out on the carpet. Sims watched.
At this moment a group of sena-
tors, In the plot with New, burst into
the room. There, apparently, were Sen
ator New and the old barber, despite
his prOtestations of religion, shooting
craps. The statesmen were Mortified.

THE LEAVENWORTH ECHO
THE STORY OF TWO MATCHES.
By Robert Louis Stevenson.


One day there was traveller in the
woods in California during the dry
season, when the Trades were blow
ing strong. He had ridden long
way, and he was tired and hungry.
and dismounted from his horse u
smoke pipe. But when he felt in
his pocket, he found but two matches.
He struck the first and it would not
light.
Here is pretty state of things"
said the traveller. dying for a
smoke, only one match left, and that
certain to miss fire! Was there ever
creature so unfortunate ?" "And
yet" thought the traveller, Suppose
| light this match, and smoke my
pipe, and shake out the dottle here in
the grass-the grass might catch on
fire, for it is dry like finder; while
| snatch out the flames in front. they
might evade and run behind me, and
seize upon yon bush of poison oak;
before | could reach it, that would
have blazed up. Over the bush | see
a pine tree hung with moss; that too
would fly in fire upon the instant to
its topmost bough. And the flame Of
that long torch-how the trade wind
would take and brandish that through
the inflammable forest! | hear this
dell roar in a moment with the Joint
voice of wind and fire. see myself
gallop for my soil, and the flying con-
flagration chase and outfank me
through the hills. l see this pleasant
forest burn for days, the cattle roast
ed, the springs dried up, the farmer
ruined and his children cast upon the
world. What a world hangs upon
this moment"
With that he struck the match, and
it missed fire
"Thank God" said the traveller
and put his pipe in his pocket.

SIX RULES FOR
PREVENTION OF FIRES.

/. MATCHES. Be sure your
match is out. Break it in two before
you throw it away.
.. TOBACCO. Throw pipe ashes
and cigar or cigarette stumps in the
dust of the road and stamp or pinch
the fire before leaving them. Don't
throw them into brush, leaves, or
needles.
3. MAKING CAMP. Build a
small camp fire. Build it in the open,
not against tree or log or near
brush. Scrape away the trash from
around it,
4. LEAVING CAMP. Never leave
a camp fire, even for short time,
without quenching it with water and
earth.
5. BONFIRES. Never build bon
fires in windy weather or where there
is the slightest danger Of their es-
Gaping from control. Don't make
them larger than you need.
6. FIGHTING FIRES. If you
find a fire, try to put out. If you
can't get word of it to the nearest U.
S. Forest ranger or state fire warden
at once. Keep in touch with the
rangers.

EDUCATION LAWS TOO LOOSE
Cnildrens Bureau Of United States
Department Of Labor DepIores
Some Exemptions Allowed.

Every state now has a compulsory
day school attendance law, according
TO information recently furnished by
the United States Department of La
Dor through the children's bureau. The
bureau has just completed an analysis
OF education laws affecting child lator
the results of which are published In
a chart entitled "State Compulsory
School Standards Affecting the En-
ployment of Minors"
In five states attendance Is required
until eighteen years of age, in two
of these in certain districts only; In
three until seventeen and in thirty
two until sixteen. One state requires
attendance until fifteen, six others and
the District of Columbia until four
teen, and one state requires attendance
until the age OF twelve years. but
applies this to iliterates only.
Unfortunately, says the bureau, the
exemptions in the majority of states
are so numerous that they greatly linn
it the application of the law. The
most common exemptions are for en-
pios iiChl, VI uDoh tOillplttioil VI Il
specified school grade Four states
specifically exempt for work in agri-
cultural pursuits, three with no age pro-
vision. Laws of fourteen other states
contain loosely worded provisions eX-
empting child at any age, which
might be used to cover absence for
farm work as well as for many other
purposes. Several states exempt
child whose services are necessary for
the support of himself or others, with
out any age or educational provision.
The amount of attendance required
is still unsatisfactory in many states,
several demanding only IL, 16, or 20
weeks In year. Even In states
where city children must attend for
eight or nine months, the amount of
attendance required in rural school
districts Is sometimes considerably less
