them back to a safe distance, but they
had thrilling show. nevertheless They
stood IN silence while the long line of
fame marched from one end of the
frame edifice to the other, vaulting
procession of fire against the sky
Within the skeleton Of the structure
the firemen struggled with obstacles
of peculiarly aggravating kinds. The
scene was Dantessue. Newspaper men,
entering the turmoil. were struck by
the weird darkness of the artificial pit
in which they found themselves. The
crown of light on the top rim of the
place served but to accentuate the
blackness of the depths. All the lit
tered debris of construction lay scat
tered about, bizarre in shape and SEM
blance, nlonstrous forms over which
they scrambled and stumbled helpless
ly. But there was no thought of sur
render. Instead, rank and file alike
fought doggedly and purposefuly TO
reach the blaze. No more strenuous task
could be imagined. The fire seemed
fortified against its foes.
For full hour the struggle con-
tinued. The steelwork swarmed with
men whose forms we're silhouetted by
falling shower of cinders from above
their heads. That constituted the
tableau which the spectators will re-
member-the human actors In the
flaming scene.
The lesson of the incident Is OBJ
vious Since scaffolding is so particu-
larly susceptible to fire, exceptional care
must be exercised against the danger
1t is tragic that such a loss should
have occurred, and there never should
be another conhagration in Washing
ton like 1t. The possibility should be
guarded against.

for pedal extremity. He was an un-
doubted benefactor of the human race,
that unknown inventor of ages ago.
No one can say who he was, where he
lived or exactly when. nor how he made
his great discovery; but mankind owes
him an eternal debt OF gratitude for his
innovation.
The peoples of the Near East. of
Egypt, Crete and Greece were sandal
wearers, as the people Of China and
Japan are to this day. They originally
made the soles of plated grass, palm
fronds and, later. of scraps of leather.
But where climate less kindly de-
manded better protection for the foot
the barbarian races evolved a service
able shoe out of single piece of un-
tanned hide, which they laced with a
thong and so made a complete cover
ing. In the Jules Jacquemart collec-
tion at the Cluny Museum, Paris, one
may see the whole long story illustrated
with examples gathered from the far
corners of the planet.
How early shoes appeared in the ex-
perience of humanity is made mani
fest by the fact that the origin of the
word is unknown. 1t was universal,
in one form or another, but philologists
can but guess at its beginning BY

relation to ska" or "sku," signifying
cover, whence the English word sky

There are thirty-two references to shoes
in the Scriptures and thirty-four In
Shakespeare.
Here in Washington this Winter a
most interesting social experiment, a
most beneficent charity, centers in the
Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe, with
headquarters at 727 Seventeenth street.
To meet the need of thousands of the
citys poor, the more fortunate have
been asked to give of new or partly
worn shoes. Necessary repairs are
made, and the shoes then are distrib-
uted directly to those who apply for
them. Thus adults are guarded against
disease and children are kept in school.
Shoes for the shoeless" is the slogan,
and it is stirring phrase. Surely, it
will appeal to hundreds of generous
hearts. There must be many who may
not have money to give, but who,
searching cupboards and wardrobes, will
find usable footwear which they can
spare. The Star commends without re-
serve the efforts Of the old lady and
her friends. They are doing a splendid
work and deserve appreciation.

Their Matchless Record.

From the Portland Oregon Journal.
Nearly million American boys and
girls were enrolled in the Al Clubs
during 1882. The number is over 9oo.-
600.
These boys and girls specialize In
various farm activities. A All boy, for
example, raises blooded pigs. Another
raises pure-bred calves. Another grows
alfalfa or other field crops.
The girls practice household work.
They study how to bake the best bread
or the best pies They vie in seeking to
do the best sewing, the best fancy work,
how to make the home beautiful and
how to keep the costs of the home at
the lowest level. Under club instruc-
ton many girl has won prize for the
best chickens, the best calf or the best
pig.
1t is a work that teaches boys and
girls the science and the better methods
in farm life. 1t leads them on to
splendid endeavor, to extraordinary ef-
iciericy in farm production and in solv-
ing farm problems. 1t creates in them
an ambition to win the prizes offered

IT'S FEDERAL DUTY
SAYS IOWA SENATOR

Dubuque, Ia, Aug. 4.--tP)-T'he
problem of suppression of crime in
the nations cities Friday was put
sQuarely up to the federal govern
ment in an official report by Senator
Louis j. Murphy of Iowa.
"A federal law enforcement unit
that will cover the populous centers,
working quietly thoroughly and re-
lentlessly, is the answer to the need"
said Murphy, who is a member of
the senate subcommittee Investigate
ing racketS.
His report was directed to the peo-
pie Of Chicago, where he made his
preliminary investigation and where
he is to hear further testimony soon.
The Iowan advocated fighting fire
with fire as he declared: For the
terrorism of hoodlums must be SUBJ
stituted the terrorism of law
He criticized the weakness of GER
tain law enforcement agencies sway
ed by criminal elements but laid the
actual blame to the institutional
character of metropolitan govern
ment where good intentions at the
top may be transformed into bad &C.
tions at the bottom.
The senate committee, Murphy be-
1ieveS, has two definite tasks: deter
mine new legislation needed to give
complete coverage to racketeering
and kidnapping and examine the pos
sible reform of judicial procedure in
respect to the writs of haheas corpus
and supersedeas.
AS final statement the Iowa SEN
ator, who cooperated with Senator
Copeland OF New York in the first
hearings, suggested making it a fell
ony to pay money or to negotiate
with kidnapers or their agents.

LABORATORY TESTS
CHECK EFFICACY OF
kELLOGG'S ALl.bRAN
Show Why This Delicious
Cereal Overcomes Common
Constipation

There are scientific reasons for
the success of ALL-BRAN in pre-
venting and relieving common con-
stipation. Laboratory Investigations
show that it supplies "bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines; and vitamin
B to promote appetite, and help tone
the intestinal tract.
These two important food-ele-
ments aid regular habits, and help
do away with the headaches, loss
of appetite and energy, so often the
result Of constipation.
The ''bulk" in AL1-BRAN is mild
in action much like that of let
tuce. Inside the body, it forms
soft mass, which gently clears the
intestines of wastes.
Isn't this pleasant ''cereal way''
far more healthful than using pills
and drugs-so often habit-forming!
Just eat two tablespoonful Of
Kellogg's daily-enough for most
types of constipation. If not re-
ieved this way, see your doctor.
Besides, ALL-BRAN brings your
body twice as much bodybuilding
iron as an equal amount by weight
Of beef liver.
Special cooking processes make
ALL-BRAN finer, softer, more palat-
able. Equally tasty as a cereal, or
used in cooking. Recipes on the
red-and-green package. Sold by all
grocers. Made by Kellogg in Battle
Greek.
