Lynn English Was
Not Equipped with
Sprinkler System

AS the result of a rumor that pre-
vailed in Waterville for some time
that the Lynn English High school
at Lynn, Mass, which burned a
short time ago. was equipped with
sprinklers. Mayor Leon Q. Tebbe..s
decided to investigate the matter.
as it seemed to be the opinion or
some that sprinklers in the New
Junior High school were not worth
as much as q prevention of fire as
was claimed. Mayor Tebbetts wrote
to the mayor of Lynn and received
the following reply:
Hon. Leon 0. Tebbetts.
Mayor of Waterville.
"Dear Mr.. Mayor:
I'm reply to your letter of April
End regarding the sprinkler equip
ment on the Lynn English High
school recently burned down. l will
say that as this was one of the old
est school buildings in the city or
Lynn. it was not equipped with
sprinkler equipment
Trusting that this gives you the
information desired and will be sat
isfactory to you. / am.
Respectfully yours,
"HARLAND A. McPHETRES.
Mayor"
Mayor Tebbetts said in speaking
about the letter that he believed that
the only buildings burning with
sprinkler equipment were those that
started from the outside.

A new era was dawning, Sir ESme
asserted. of International policy less
selfish. less violent. more considerate
of the feelings and interests OF 9TH
ers. more in accordance with Chris
tan precept. than the old policy. A
new patriotism. which while exalt-
ing the love of country, allowed one
to see the good in others and ap-
preciate the points of view of others
also was superseding the old patri-
otism which often fostered interna-
tional dislikes, he said.
Characterizing himself as a dip
lomatist of the "old school," the
ambassador set for his creed as Ito
serve ones country to the best OF
ones ability: carrying out instruc-
tons but in such q way as not to
give offence, keeping a cool head
and an open mind. avoiding sus-
picion, irritation and distrust, deal
ing fairly. honestly. and truthfully
and. last but not least, politely and
always giving a fair consideration
to the point of view of Others"
The British envoy prefaced his
remarks with recommendation
that Americans visit the British En-
pire exhibition which. he said, was
the most elaborate yet held. 1t had
cost 50,OO0.OOO and about 25,0OO,0O0
, visitors were expected, he added.

A SERIES BY WILL IRWIN

Will Irwin is writing for The Age Herald a series of articles, beginning yesterday, detailing the plan whereby the trans-continental railroads seek to crip- pie the Panama Canal, at least for coast wise traffic, in order that they them selves may be rid of this competition. The Age-Herald has previously shown that the entre coastwise traffic passing through the Panama Canal in one year is only fraction of the increase in the tonnage of the railroads concerned dur ing the same period. The Age-Herald has also taken frequent editorial occasion to show how the railroads have ever fought waterway development, in the mistaken idea that thus they were placing them selves in stronger economic position. But the railroads have in the main, and with a few outstanding exceptions, failed to note that their own business expands wherever there is successful barge serv- ice. The railroads not only cannot handle all the nations tonnage, but they reduce their own opportunity whenever their tactics succeed in obstructing or imped- ing the development of barge service.

FideIis

Amidst the ripening corn they grow; Bright peoples, gay, that nod and blow In teasing wind Their crimson blush Grows deep and warm whene'er they brush Against the sea-green stalks that bend To kiss the fragile leaves and blend Their whispered melodies of love- The rustling corn waves high above The blood-red flow'rs that give it aid And strength until the tassels fade. And when the cruel sickle kills The ripened corn on russet hills Red peoples, with their lovers, die, While mourning zephyrs vail and sigh!

Fixed Medical Fees

The action of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia in fixing maximum and minimum physicians fees is of interest, in view of the current discussion of the general question of physicians remuneration.
 Possibly many of our difficulties in this field grow out of our habit of engaging phy- sicians only when we are ill. In China it is the other way around. The physician is paid salary to keep his patients we'll and when they fall ill deduction is made from his pay. The general idea of this, of course, is not unknown to us, although we do not make the deduction. The physician to the President is an example. Certain rich men have retained physicians on salary, as have fraternal lodges, industrial concerns and insurance companies There have been one or two efforts to organ ize societies to employ physician on sal ary basis for the members.
 In general, however, the plan has not worked out well with us, and physicians frown on it themselves. The main point they say, is not cheap service, but goed service. Any system which prevents the physician from giving the patient all the time, care and thought which his case requires is vicious, no matter how cheap. However, there is the man with moderate income, ill, and faced with doctors bills which often seem to him ex- tortionate. What is the answer?
 The action of the District physicians may be a step in the right direction. The fees agreed on do not appear to be excessive. There is the danger that many doctors may cast a loving eye on the maximum figure rather than the minimum, but at least the patient has some general idea of what he is going to have to pay.-New York; World.
