mistake in stating that the general

liberalization OF the enforcement act.

SAND
I have had an object lesson placed
before me that has made a great i'm
preston upon me.
I am a lover of stone walls. They
look SO eternal. Real rock nature
dressed up by the mason. So recent
ly invested in one of these walls and
had it placed about part of my home.
From the first day, every step in the
progress has greatly interested me-.
The first thing that they did was to
dump in many loads of sand. 1t was
this sand that set me to thinking.
Sand is really the backbone of every
strong wall-mixed in the proper pro-
must have its sand, whether of brick,
stone, or concrete. And every building
of these materials must depend upon
it's sand.
The statement about the fellow with
lots of sand to him" comes to me
with renewed force. He is the chap
who sticks thru!
But 1 learned from the mason that
this sand must have the right amount
of cement or else in a. short time the
wall will crumble.
So that if you have a. great deal of
sand in your makeup, be very glad
for you are lucky human being.
But be sure to add to this sand the
proper amount of work, backed by
careful thinking in all you do. 9,
I find myself taking careful note
of foundations, walls, and buildings
now. I wonder about the sand that
was placed in the masonry of each
one. 1 note much that looks as strong
and clean as the day it was built,
'and every once in a while I note a
wall or foundation that shows care
lessness. A stone has fallen out here
and there. The water has washed
away much of the mortar.
have in mind a young man who
seems to have plenty of sand in his
make-up-but he doesn't know how
to mix it with his cement qualities.
And so, as the years run along, 1 note
that he drifts much, and some day
he will find himself a long way from
substantial success.
Stick to sand, my friend, but make
that sand stick!

Babies are born without langwidge

But it's a waist of time to pity them,
Because wat do the babies care?
And If you think you are unlucky
Because you have teeth but not meny,
Jest think of the millions of babies
who half to go GROUND without eny

cry,
Even If you're a relation,
For crying is their ony exercize
And thier ony conversation.
Some babies look like their father
And some like their ant or their
mother,
But no matter who elts they look like,
Most of them look like each other.
Altho they seem to have a easy life
Being pushed GROUND all day.
1t would proberIy be more of a luxury
If they could get out and wawk part

A NEW FIRE HAZARD.

In violation of all traditions con-
corning the post-bellum beating of
swords into plowshares, says a bulIe-
tin issued by the national board of
fire underwriters, German effort in
this regard seems to have been di-
rected in part to the turning out of
electric pressing irons. Once again,
in this product, the Wanted Teutonic
thoroness is displayed, says the bulle-
tin, for these irons are most thoroly
defective. And. moreover, they have
descended upon our shores in veri-
table avalanche. A shipment of $780,
900 of these cheap appliances-fire
breeders, in all truth-was recently
unloaded at the port of New York.
Continuing its attack the bulletin
says:
These German irons retail at one
dollar, but are not accompanied by
stands. This introduces an additional
hazard, altho it is the irons them
selves that present the chief danger.
They are fimsily constructed and
tremely brief, they are expensive at
any price. The flexible cord attached
to them is of sub-standard, No. 80
gauge, whereas No. Is is prescribed
Dy unQeIWr1LeTS as a minimum re-
quirement Furthermore. the insula-
ton is inferior and VIII not stand
much usage. The plug is of a wooden
type long ago discarded in the United
States.
An engineer who tested four of
these irons, found that not a single
one lasted long enough to undergo the
complete tests which it was planned
TO carry out, the heating element
breaking down in from three to
Ithirty-five minutes In the interior of
the iron, the mica insulation was in
small pieces and insufficient to pre-
vent contact with some part of the
appliance
\ In two of the irons, short circuits
imm ediately occur, ed, due to the poor
assembly. Such construction is sure
to result IN the blowing Of fuses on
the circuit employed. Also, owing to
the scant insulation, there is consid-
cradle likelihood of shock when the
irons are employed in the neighbor-
hood of plumbing fixtures.
Potential fire-hazards-arisin in
deed, not from poor construction, but
from careless or ignorant use
already exist in abundance with the
best of Ameriean-rcad irons. There
is no room in this country for irons
which are Inherently dangerous. even
when properly employed.
