Why do
women like
pipe smokers?

We asked many women. One said:
because a man who thinks things
out, does them and goes all the way
through with anything he starts gen
orally smokes a pipe if he smokes at
all-and nearly always he does smoke. :"
Another replied: "a pipe smoker is
more of home man, it seems to me.
There is no better picture of content
ment than a man smoking a pipe in
his home after the days work is done"
Gle is more honest, more reliable,
more manly" said another-but she
was rather young.
"Pipe-smokers are not so jumpy
and fdgety, so nervous as non-smok-
ers. They're more easily contented,"
was the opinion of one woman.
There were many reasons given by
the fair ladies; some of them not very
powerful from a logical viewpoint.
The significant feature of the ques-
tionnaire was that the great majority
of the women admitted that they do
like pipe smokers.
And just to show that woman is not
the only illogical of the two sexes, we
asked a number of men why they
liked the tobacco they smoked. One
said it was strong enough for him.
Another said it was mild enough for
him-and they were smoking the
same brand. All of them had some
more-or-less indefinite reason for lik-
ing a certain tobacco, but putting that

15,000 LOST LIVES IN 1921
 THROUGH FIRES

According to a conservative esti- mate at least 15,O0O persons lost their lives in the United States last year as the result of fires. Consider ably more than this number were seriously injured from the same cause:
 When we are told that most of those killed and injured were women and children, that they were sacriflc- ed because of carelessness and that this toll is increasing each year. We realize that some definite steps should be taken to halt the destruction" says D bulletin of the United States Cham Der of Commerce.
 "From a humane standpoint there fore, if for no other it is the duty of every sane person to exercise par ticular care to prevent fires. Fur tn srmore, it is his duty to know what to do when he discovers that a fire has started. Many lives and much property would be saved annualllly if the person who first saw the fire had known how to call quickly for prorer assistance. We all realize that the first few minutes after the fire starts is the most important time in which tn fight it.
 '"Today fire alarm boxes are placed at convenient locations. These boxes are of little value unless the person needing to use them is acquainted with their location and the proper noePbod of sounding an alarm AL though most alarm boxes are easy to ope-ate. many persons have no 
 Everyone should make it his bus1- ness to learn the location of the near est fire alarm box and how to use it. He should further see that oth- CTS of his family are acquainted with these facts. It is advisable further more to impart this information to all school children so that they fully un- derstand what to do and how Mer- chants manufa cturers and other DUST ness organizations will find it to theIr advantage to see that every employe has this knowledge. It is impossible to determine who will be called upon to sound tEe next alarm All should be prepared. ..
 "A further important consideration relative to the saving of lives is the proper method of emptying burning building of it's occupants. where large number of persons are as sembled in one building such as school, a public institution or a fac +ory if is advisa ble that Sre drills De held Arrangements should be made +o conduct such drills at irregular in tervaIs in order that the occupants will obtain the habit of answering the alarm whenever it is sounded Ihe freouency of these tests will depend upon the type of building and the number of persons occupying II.
 'Fxperience has shown that em- uloyees and school children become interested in fire drills. They are anxious to do their part in establish ing time record for emptying their building or department The drill will acquaint everyone of the proper exit to be used and will also assure an orderly clearance in the case or an actual fire.
 ."The present week, which is being observed as Fire Prevention Week presents an excellent opportunity Tor teaching the use of the fire alarm box and for initiating fire drills.

Moving pictures of Mir. Gardiner and his audience will be taken and will be shown in a local theatre.
 Harry Gardiner. named the Human Fly by President Cleveland, when the former climbed the United States capitol, is 52 years old, is married and has four children. He has been climbing buildings for the past 37 years and has by his own unique method reached the top of practically every important building in this coun- try. During that time he has had but one mishap. In 1915 he attempted to climb the state capitol in South Car olina, but fell. breaking three ribs and fracturing his nose. Shortly after his discharge from the hospital he went back and climbed the building with ease. At the outbreak of the war he offered his services to the government and became a $1 a year man, performing for Red Cross. LIo- erty Loan and War Saving Stamp benefits. During that time he climb ed the Singer building in New York. This feat took him about one hour and , minutes to accomplish.
