Firemen
Held in High Regard.
La Prensa, Buenos Aires.-The fire
department of the capital has long since
earned the sympathy and gratitude of
the people for the superb functioning of
ltS personnel, without any private con-
slderatlonS or interests ever interfering
with the order and discipline required
py the eXlgencies of its work, or necessi-
tatlng the exactions of the quasi-mili-
tary control under which the men are
organized.
The career of the firemen is ,pecul-
iarly arduouS one. They not only have
their regular daily work, of a technical
nature, which must be attended to with
precision and thoroughness, but they are
subject at any moment to be called to
duties OF great risk and prime necessity.
The imposition of these onerous
duties, in the daily round, offers dis
tinct jeopardy to the public good. how
ever, for as often as not the firemen
are not at their best when they are
called to q fire. Their strength and
vitality should not be exhausted in these
mental tasks. but rather conserved for
the dangerous occasions when their
ability to act promptly and vigorously
may preserve the entire community
from disaster.
If it happens, as seems very likely,
that the firemen are continually re-
quired to accomplish work at their sta
tions which reduce their physical resist
ance, and enervates them for their real
duties, it is only right that they should
ask for modification of the regimen to
which they are subject.

Words Taken From

Ell Nuevo Diario, Caracas.-The Span

some of which we quote in our pages

are merely local spellings of Castilian
forms. In our own vocabulary, we have
come through habit to regard as good
Spanish many words taken from the

OF these words as are in common use,
and have significance not derivable
from any word or root authorized by the

TINE BULLETIN, Sydney.-There

Iul increase of juvenile crime in

the influence Of Hollywood films
is blamed. Hollywood films certainly
nave great deal to answer for, but so
nave publications which present pseudo
romantic pictures of crime in order to
catch pennies. Bad boys are initiative,
ana fond OF showing off," and it is the
same With the criminal class and with
persons OF criminal tendencies. Maudlin
accounts of malefactors, 80 per cent of
whom are really uninteresting, and ex-
cesslve descriptions of their evil deeds
inevitably inf1ame subnormal minds
and feed the dangerous vanity of ruff
mans. Accounts of gunner and their
deeds are far too often embellished by
the press with a wealth of detail and
imagination much too flattering to the
underworld. The impression is gener-
ally conveyed that these constituencies
villains are dashing fellows, and their
vulgar womankind paragons of virtue
and beauty A good many of the iuve-
nile budding criminals are found to be
silly young skylarkers out for bit of
newspaper glory. and who could be dis
persed with some well aimed police
boots.
France Sets
Price on Sports Articles.
lie Matin, Paris.-There exists in the
financial law-code a certain schedule
B." which establishes the maximum
prices which may be paid for any arti-
Gle or equipment used in sport, after
which the payment of higher price
makes the article luxury, and subject
to taxation as such, at the rate of IL
per cent. The price fixed upon most
articles Of sporting outfit is l40 francs,
with the exception Of any implements,
such as rods and nets, used in fishing.
For these adjuncts, one must pay the
luxury tax, if they cost more than As
francs per article.
That such discrimination Is grave
injustice, every one agrees, but it has
been impossible as yet to obtain any
modification of this part of the public
revenue law. SO a fishing pole costing
so francs continues to be an article of
luxury in the eyes of Mr.. Tax-Bureau,
while a tennis racket that costs 140
francs is an article of indispensable
necessity, and can be considered lux
ury under no circumstances whatsoever.
A delegation composed of selected
members from all the fishing clubs in
France has been organized to call upon
the minister of finance and demonstrate
TO him the anomaly of this situation.
