 Bow Alarms Work.
 Very few people today even under stand the connections of fire alarm box The old time boxes, when the keys were used, were connected to open the doors in the station house on Commercial street the minute the lever was pulled down. It also lit the gas jets in the stations by the connection of a pilot.
 Today, there is a small glass in each box. This glass can be broken by the hand or a small stone. Per sons sending in an alarm pull the lever down once, then release it. This rings in the alarm and in each fire house the number of the box is recorded on a tape which is punched at intervals. For instance, a call from Box 23 The tape is punched with two holes, then a space inter venes and three holes are punched to designate the location. At night time, the box connections switch on every light in the stations and the firemen are ready to gc forth to fight the flames.
 Number of Boxes.
 There are approximately 109 fire alarm boxes in New Britain today. About 40 years ago there was some thing like 3p
 How Fires Start. . It is estimated that fully 90 per cent of the fires are started through carelessness. Efforts to educate the people to fire precautions are being made each year and the setting aside of day for this purpose has been decided upon October 3, has been declared National Fire Prevention Day. It was first instituted in 1911.
 Causes of Fire
 Captain William Watts, who is well known among the school children of today through his appearing before them on various occasions and speak ing on fire prevention, has compiled some "don'ts" to aid in the campaign, Fire causes" says Captain Watts, come generally from carelessness on the part of the people and unhealthy conditions in buildings.
 Don't on Fires ......
 The following are some of the "don'ts" which may be applied to against fire:
 Don't smoke in bed, or leave light ed cigarette stubs on any woodwork or inflammable substance.
 Be careful of throwing away light ed matches.

the surrounding walls seem to be a prison. It is impossible to make any buildings panic-proof but everything may be done beforehand to educate the public on the adequate exits pro- vided for in buildings
 Holidays-Merchants Careful.
 The proprietor of a large depart ment store is always on the alert for safeguarding his trade. This is especially true during the holidays when the stores are crowded and the least sign of fire would cause com motion which would result at least, in losing much business. The accumu- lation of holiday goods for delivery ofttimes caused fires when piled up and not properly looked after. The merchants are advised to make it a rigid rule to have clear aisles and to drill the clerks in the use of appart. tus for fire fighting.
 During Christmas time, decorations are generally placed with care that they. may not be ignited by any tenn porary electrical wiring.

 Pick Your Exits.
 1t ha3 been seen that the greatest loss Of life in theater, school or large dwelling has been from panic caused by not knowing just where to make an exit. It is well for persons to always look out for an exit and If ever an occasion comes when fire starts in that particular place, make for this exit and aid others in doing so. A wave of terror sweeps through the people at the call of fire and all thoughts seem to leave their minds with the exception of getting out. Where people arc seized with panic,

are won't to believe that it is an easy life; nothing to do but hang around and wait for an alarm and then after putting out the fire, return to lounge around the station again, However, investigation into their daily work will find something entirely different from this The hremen of course must be at the station all day, In fact their hours are 2i day, with little time off for themselves. out Of seven days week, they are allowed one entire day off for recreation,
 They are given three hours each day in which to go to their homes for meals, Some have just about time to get that and return to their station and probably even at their meals must answer a call, They are always ready at any minute Of the day to answer n summons either by tele- phone or alarm. The fireman makes his home at the station Each one Is his own housekeepcr and must tend to his quarters, They make their own beds. scrub the floors, do their own cooking if necessary, and are always careful to have the ap- paraus in their house in excellent shape and cleanliness.

DALLAS MINISTER'S AND
CARNEY.

The action Of the Dallas Minis.
terial Alliance in refusing to endorse
the Garvey movement and his com.
ing to Dallas is being severely criti-
cised by supporters of the move
ment. They accuse them Of being
blind to the interests of their race
and lacking In the moral fibre which
should characterize them.
How just these criticisms are can
not be justly stated but If we are
to judge by the reasons as set
forth in their resolutions as adopted
BY them last week they have at
least just cause to withhold their
endorsement pending more definite
proof Of the worth Of the movement.
Our pastors are our leaders, at
least they WELD the mightiest influ-
ence among us now. What they en-
dorse their followers usually tske
up.
Who IN the light OF the reasons
as contained In the resolutions can
Justly blame them for hesitation in
this regard7
Men, hackers of movements. must
realize that all movements have
critics Men are not to be censured
for their honest opinions. Move
ments, rather, must work 30 eff
ciently as to be able to stand the

close examination lhe Garvey move
ment is no exception to this rule.
