Pays Its Cost in
Reduction of Fires

The clang of the bells, the roar of
the engines, the smoke and flame,
the crash of tumbling walls and
stoutest heart. The alarm of fire
never will lose its thrill.
To witness a fire across the street
and say THANK God, it is not my
home" and then refuse to help pre-
vent such destruction, is the worst
form of Pharisaism. Your home may
be the next to go.
most of them are the result of care
lessness in permitting the accumula-
ton of rubbish. waste and other in
fiammable material. Rats, matches,
lighted cigarette or spark from a
passing locomotive may cause a mill
lion dollar loss.
Not only fire losses but fire risks
and insurance costs, have been
greatly reduced by this campaign. In
Cincinnati alone the first campaign
reduced fire losses nearly S1,000,000
and saved the people of that city
$3.50, 900 per year in reduced sinsur-
ance premiums. The annual saving
is $850,00O.
II the Clean Up and Paint Up
Campaign did nothing more than re-
duce fire losses it would still deserve
the wholehearted support of all the
people. Fire marshals in every state
are using this campaign as the most
effective means FOR conserving life
and property.

For Home and 7oUns Beautiful

Bowdoin will do 1t for Longfellow,
and | believe Harvard will do it for
Emerson. l cannot think of any
other"
This college does not pretend to
have made either poet or novelist,
but Bowdoin played an important
part in the training of the two writ
ers. 1t distinctly shaped their car
GERS. 1t gave the youthful Longfel-
low an opportunity to follow the
academic life and study in Europe
Immediately upon his graduation,
and it kept him on the faculty for
several years, thus starting him on
his career in the profession of let
tiers; and it gave Hawthorne two
life long friends, Franklin Pierce
and Horatio Bridge, without whose
aid he would probably have chad
neither the leisure nor the confidence
to produce his great works. And
since these writer's are a part of the
rich heritage of the College it is
meet that we should pay special
honor to them this year.
And since we feel deeply this OBJ
legation that rests upon us to be
loyal to our past and loyal to the
community in which we are placed,
the College is most grateful to all
those who are helping to make this
Institute of Literature worth while.
To the donor, Mrs. Helen Hartley
Jenkins of New York City, who so
graciouslH provided the necessary
funds in memory of her daughter, a
young lover of literature, to the So
ciety of Bowdoin Women, VIII have
provided one of the lectures given
here, the College now renders it's
warm thanks.
For our first lecturer we have had
the good fortune of securing one who
is known from Maine to California
as one of the leading American poets,
enc who has had wide experience in
various parts of the world, who has
wandered far North of Boston, but
who has never lost his intellectual
integrity nor his intellectual aris-
tocracy nor his insight into true
beauty, and who still helps to main
tain the supremacy of New England
in American poetry-Mr. Robert
Frost.
In opening his talk, Mr.. Frost
read Longfellow's poem, 1.-The Flight
into Egypt" which he said illus
trated his subject better than almost
any other poem he knew of. No poet
had been more used or abused than
Longfellow for educational purposes.
Mr.. Frost said that it was prob
lem to know how to handle poetry
in school at all; that the instructor
either had to spoil a good poem or a
bad one to illustrate his lecture. "Po-
etry in a flower or a butterfly and a
heavy hand will ruin it," Longfel-
low as a man and poet was gentle
and genial almost to the point of hui
NOR. He scores higher in vocal i'm
agery than in visual imagery. He
then illustrated what he meant by
vocal imagination by reading selec-
tons from several of Longfellows
poems, showing how easily the ex-
preston of voice could change the
effectiveness of the poem. In clos

What Fire Prevention
Officials are Doing

A great many fires start in rubbish
heaps such as are shown in this il
lustration. AS a result of the good
work of Fire Prevention Officials, all
such fire traps are removed and
dilapidated buildings are RACED.
The National Fire Protection AS
ISOLATION so fully appreciates the
work of the National Clean UP and
Paint Up Bureau, that it has issued
to it's members a bulletin from which
we quote as follows:
"The N. +. p. A. issues no publica-
tons on the Clean Up and Paint Up
Campaign. because the ground is SO
completely covered by the National

Bureau. Members should keep the
literature of the Bureau in their files
for their own reference and informa
ton of others, and stimulate and as
sist so far as possible all local cam
paigns of this sort, to the end that
the Clean Up impulse may finally
becoe a continuous effort and habit,

community health, and fire safety TO
their proper place in the consciences

PLEASING REPORTS
ON CHILDREN NOW
IN HOSPITALS

Two crippled boys will return
soon to this city after undergoing
treatment at the Massachusetts
Homeopathetic Hospital at Boston,
according to the report of Miss Jen-
ME Ballantyne, Augusta Public
Health Nurse, which was presented
for the month of April at the meet
ing of the Board of Directors of the
Augusta Public Health Association
which was held Monday. They will
be much improved in health al
though not entirely cured. This is a
direct result of the Crippled Chill
dren's clinic which was held here
several months ago.
Four children are also undergoing
treatment at the Children's Hospital
and they are likewise improving.
The nurse keeps in as close touch
with them as possible but it is of
course impossible to hear from them
as frequently as from those receiv-
ing treatment in this city. Including
boy admitted to the Portland hos
pital on April 3 and one in the Au-
gusta General Hospital, there are
at the present time seven children
receiving treatment as result of the
clinic. One other has already been
treated and returned to his home.
April has been particularly hard
month for the nurse because of the
increased number of nursing visits
occasioned by the prevalence of
grippe and colds.
The report of the nurse shows the

RUBBISH COLLECTION DAYS

The employees of the city are all
set and ready for the annual collect
ing of the rubbish from the houses
of Augusta.
1t is now up to the householders
to do their end of the cleaning up
and, judging by the remarks heard
in all sections of the city, they will
be right on the job. Unprecedented
activity has been noticed on all sides,
and out of attics and cellars have
been brought barrels and boxes of
cast off and old materials that will
make Thursday and Friday real busy
days for the employees of the city.
One thing is certain, every house
holder will have to have his rubbish

MEXICAN INJURED
 AT MOOSE PASS BY
 POWDER BLAST, DIES
ROAD WORKER DIES MONDAY AT ANCHORAGE HOSPlTAL-oN
 JOB FOUR MONTHS.

Ralph Rugge, Mexican, aged about 35 years, died at the Anchorage hos pital Monday, according to report received by The Gateway this morn ing, from the effects of injuries re- ceived while engaged in setting off powder charges on the Moose Pass road project
 The Gateway published a brief ac- count of the accident some weeks ago, at which time it was stated the injured man had been sent direct to the hospital from Moose Pass. It developed, during an examination, that his skull had been fractured. The accident occurred September 24, when after touching off eight pow der fuses, he sat down to split another fuse. It is stated he had been eau toned on two previous occasions for being careless.
 Ralph Rugge came to Seward from Cordova about four months ago, and had worked at Moose Pass since that time. Efforts to locate relatives or friends have thus far proven un- successful.
