Every call of the fire alarm in Riv-
er Falls is seemingly an incentive for
many motorists who otherwise dis
play at least ordinary sanity to tear
loose for a giddy, carefree, spreeish
race up and down the main thorough
fares of the city. They don't demon
strate any special anxiety in regard
to the fire, or to be of any assistance
in any way. The siren affects them
in much the same manner as the fire
horse of fiction is affected when he
hears the old call. We believe that
an enterprising warden of an insane
asylum, who wished to add to the pop
ulation of his establishment, would
find plenty of prospects if he happen
ed to be here at such time. The fire
fire fighters who always find these
hectic motorists in the way, and the
pedestrians, who are in peril while
the gas demons are at large, certainly
would like to aid warden on such a
quest.

Die-Cast Wood Horns.

The demand for loud speakers has
brought about the development of all
kinds of horns, some of metals, others
of fiber, and still others of pressed
wood. 1t is the aforementioned type
with which we are momentarily inter-
ested. These are made of selected
wood which is reduced TO its original
fiber and cast In steel dies under
pressure of II tons and subjected to
800 degrees of heat. This Is claimed
to form an artificial wood many times
denser than natural wood. It's acous-
tic properties are remarkable. The
vibrations received through the phone
at the base of the horn are amplified
by the rich, resonant vibrations of the
material itself. The metallic sound
which is so annoying in many types Of
loud speakers equipped with metal
horns is said to be entirely eliminated.

limited for Short Skirts.

Women in various parts OF the couh-
try are forming "Short Skirt Ciubs,
the purpose of which is to thwart the
ed!cts Of fashion makers, who nave
voted for somewhat greater length.
1t seems a bit strange that women
should have to organize for the right
to wear skirts any length they please.
There is no law against shortsskirts.
But It would be as difficult for one
woman to wear short skirt when
everybody else had shifted to the shoe
top length as it would for an indi-
yidual to adopt daylight saving
schedule in a town where the people
had voted for standard time. The
only way the average woman can re-
sist changing fashions is to be con-
scious tnat she has a wide support
among her fellow-women. If any man
condemns these women as towards,
let him take off his coat In the thea.

is no law against it.-St. Louis Star

POSTING THE KINNICKINNIC

In his last issue of the Hammond
News Editor F. E. Hartwig has the
following to say concerning fishing on
the Kinnickinnic:
"What we need on the Kinnickinnic,
which has been one of the best
streams in the United States until the
posting practice was started, is lit
tie legislation to open it up to the
common herd" and not allow "chos-
en- few to monopolize the fishing
which the state, the River Falls Rod
& Gun Club and many individuals
have been paying for. il tie K:nnic-
kinnic is private property, and is 60
ing to be used for personal gain Ff%
it is time the state refuse to supply
the millions of trout fry being dump
ed in there annually"
The reception or rejection of Mr..
Hartwig's contention depends wholly
upon ones viewpoint. To the selfish
Waltonian, fences and sown fields
are merely obstacles to an otherwise
perfect sport; to the unappreciative
landowner even the most considerable
fisherman is an irritant. But in
stead Of one class trying to force
legislation against the other, We
would recommend the course of the
River Falls Rod & Gun Club, which
brings both together for better UNI
derstanding of each others problems,
a course that results in far more
agreeable relations and better salts
faction than any legislation could
ever produce.

BIRD SONGS ON THE PIANO
Interesting Experiments Conducted by
Eastern Woman Give Rise to I'M
mense Possibilities.

Bird songs may become basic themes
for more music than folk songs. This
is the prediction of Mrs. ii. I'll. A.
Beach, composer who has been max
Ing experiments along this line at
Peterborough, n. III. Mrs. Beach's
explanation of her theory and her ex-
perjments is unique and interesting.
"My studio at Peterborough was
surrounded ON three sides by beautiful
birch trees, the front facing wide
view of the valley and mountains. In
the deep woods nearby the hermit
thrushes sang all day long, so close to
me that I could notate their songs and
even amuse myself by initiating them
on the piano and having them answer.
The songs were so very lovely and so
consonant with our scales that !
could weave them into piano pieces as
easily as I could have used folk songs.
1t was q labor of love, indeed, and
only hope that have succeeded In CIV
ing at least slight impression of their
exquisite rhythm and melodlc beauty"
If bird song can be incorporated
successfully into piano music thus,
there Is an infinite field of beauty and
variety from which the themes may
be drawn. 1t is to be hoped that Mrs.
Beach and her fellow-artists will go on
with their work. Jazz will never en-
tirely rule the musical universe while
this sort of delicate artistry is being
carried on.-From the Brockton

Plan New MonoralI Road.

Another experiment with overhead
monorails Is to be made, according to
the Practical Engineer. The French
ministry of public works has decided
that an experimental line shall be in
stalled in the Peronne district. The
subject has been investigated by a
commission, which issued somewhat
favorable report. If the experimental
installation should prove successful it
Is proposed to provide a mono-railway
between Paris and ST. German. 1t Is
understood that the system is merely
an aerial line carried on standards on
which car fitted with engine and pro-
peller is mounted and it is claimed
that speeds up to $50 miles an hour
can be reached.

Charge of Light Brigade Outdone
By Scarlett's Victorious Dragons

that became enraged at the insult and
kicked about with such vigor and
frequency that his master was soon
freed of his Immediate danger.
Soon all of the British who ac-
companied Gen. Scarlet were dcep
in the mass of the Russians, in an
apparently hopeless effort to cut their
way through. Finally. with the out
SIDE cooperation and diversion bv
the other squadrons. they completely
discounted the enemy. who hastily
withdrew up the valley, with a loss
of $50 men. The British loss was IS.
British Courage Wins.
British courage, skill and endurance
were never exhibited more gloriously
than on that occasion. The Russian
loss would have been much greater
but for the fact that their overcoats
were so thick that they protected
their owners from the cuts of the
British swordsmen, and obliged them
to rely mainly upon thrusts and cuts
at the heads. Gen Scarlet marvel
ouSly escaped without d wound.
Here was a theme more imposing
for poetic description than the charge
of the Light Brigade. which was
made later that day, as it was a bril-
liant success; while the charge of
the Light Brigade was pitiful blum
der and failure.
Charge Into Cannon.
Lord Raglan. the British command
erin chief, who now took charge,
sought to take advantage of the dis
comfiture of the Russians and recap
ture the redoubt and guns which the
Russians had taken from the Turks
in the morning, by charging the posi-
tion with the Light Brigade, consist
ing of 675 horsemen, which. through
the Incompetence of Lord Cardigan,
their commander, had been an idle
witness of Scarlett's fight. He sent
an order to Lord Lucan, who was in
immediate command on the field. to
direct the Light Brigade to charge
accordingly: but, through n mixture
of mistakes and stubbornness. the
order was miscarried. and the Light
Brigade was sent on a hopeless
of which was a Russian battery of
twelve cannon supported by several
thousand Russian cavalry.
Fame OverIooks Victors.
A few of the Light Brigade, among
whom was the brave but incompe-
tent Cardigan, reached the Russian
batteries, killed many of the gum
ners or drove them away, and en-
gagged the supporting Russian cav
airy. But they soon were over
whelmed by numbers and had to re-
treat, with a loss of 113 killed and
1874 wounded. Most of the fatalities
and injuries were received from the
enfiIading fire of the Russian troops
and batteries along the sides of the
north valley during their retirement
down 1t. Four hundred and seventy
five of their horses were killed in the
action and retreat, or SO severely
wounded that they had to be killed.
and forty-two more were slightly
wounded.
The caprice of glory was never
more striking1y illustrated than in
the renown which the Light Brigade
derived from that charge, and in the
obscurity which even hides from
common knowledge the equally he
roic and vastly more important
achievement of Gen. Scarlet and his
daring Dragons.

tainly seem to control q democratic

street needs a friend it will be when
the next session Of Congress opens.
For among the liberals there Is no
dread of drawing the black bean that
calls for sacrifice and possibly politi
cal death. Indeed. these lads of the
agrarian revolt are regular bean
eaters. They love the danger in
volved in the adventure. Nothing
would please them more than to be
drawn for this raid. The only uncer-
tain quality is the democrats. In
deed. it may be honestly said that the
only defenders who can maintain the
republican majority control of Con-
gress are the members of the demo-
cratic minority. Party lines have
disintegrated just this far: That to
be a good democrat 1t may be neces-
