thin layer. Give it time to burn
well and heat the house, then
add a full charge of coal. When
the gases have burned off, reset
the hampers for normal burning.
This same rule applies should
the fire get very low and almost
burn itself out at any time. Be
careful not to smother it with too
much coal. Open the ashpit dam
per and close the check damper.
When the fire again is burning
brightly, shake the CRATES gently
until the first red glow appears
in the ashpit, add full charge
of fuel, allow the gases to burn
off, reverse the dampers-close
the ashpit damper and open the
check damper. That's the way to
save fuel and cut down trips to
the cellar.

J. r. K. McCrary, %; Emily, Is;
Alice, IA, and Elinor, IL. The great
editor never awakened.
Probably no one knows how many
millions of persons read Mr.. Bris-
bane's verse, analytical comments
upon the news of the day. It is esti-
mated that Is millions read his daily
column. Additional millions followed
with satisfaction the weekly column
syndicated by Western Newspaper
Union to this and many other lead
ing weekly newspapers.
Mr.. Brisbane was wealthy. It is
reported that his yearly salary at
the time of his death was $3.50, 900.
In addition, there was the return on
his extensive real estate holdings.
Arthur Brisbane was born in Buff
falo, N. Y, in 1864. He attended the
public schools and then, forsaking a
college education, he became re-
porter on the old New York Sun at
10. Yet his rise to the position he
held in the world of journalism at
the last was not the Horatio Alger
type of success story, with glory
browning the hero after countless
tear-jerking tribulations. He was
good and he was successful from the
start.
ut was not long before he was the
SUMS London correspondent. After
five years, there was shake-up on
the paper and the management
cabled him to return. He said he
would if they made him managing
editor. Managing editor! He was
just %. They made him managing
editor. And so well did he execute
his job, Joseph Pulitzer took him
over to the New York World, which,
under the Brisbane dictatorship,
soon became the most influential
organ of public opinion in America.
"Greatest Journalist of Day."
When William Randolph Hearst
came from California and bought
the New York Journal he hired Mr..
Brisbane-at a reduction in salary
of almost so per cent. But there was
an agreement that as the circulation
increased, so would his compensa-
ton. His earnings on the World
were multiplied in almost no time.
The association with Hearst be.
came lifelong friendship, and Mr..
Brisbane soon became regarded as
next to Mr.. Hearst in importance in
the chain of newspapers. When he
died, Mr.. Hearst said: 81 know that
Arthur Brisbane was the greatest
journalist of his day."
It was Arthur Brisbane who was
credited with bringing the trend of
newspaper style down to earth"
He believed that newspapers should
be written for the ordinary man, not
the intelligentsia. He wrote that way
and his columns appealed to col
lege professors as well as to mer-
chants and farmers.
He dictated his 1000 to 1900 crisp,
unwasted words daily in half an hour
to an hour. There was dictaphone
beside him wherever he went. He
would even wake up in Pullman
berths and begin dictation at two or
three in the morning.

Teachers Treat

AS schools all over the world
break up on st. Thomas day, it
is a great occasion for children. In
Denmark it is customary to allow
children to do almost as they like,
and near Antwerp they rise early,
run to school, and lock the master
out till he promises to treat them.
In other parts of Belgium, parents,
servants, and schoolmasters are
locked out, the teacher being
chaired to the nearest inn where
he is forced to pay for cakes and
punch. In Germany, St. Thomas
day is great day for forecasting
the future. Thousands of young wom-
en- visit astrologers, palmists, and
clairvoyants, to learn what the COM
ing year has in store. In West
phalia they eat and drink to capac-
ity as a sign that they hope to
escape scarcity within the next
twelve months.-Tit-Bits Magazine.

Arthur Brisbane,
Editor, Dies at Il
Work Known to Millions;
Column Popular in This
Newspaper.

New York, N. with the
death of Arthur Brisbane Christ
mas morning, the world lost its
most widely known and most
widely read newspaper writer
and editor. The veteran COM
mentator, whose column "This
Week" appeared regularly in
this newspaper, died of heart
disease while he slept. He was
seventy-two.
True to the Brisbane tradition, he
kept up the terrific pace of his work
to the last. When he was stricken
late in the afternoon of Christmas
eve he had almost finished his col

many large daily newspapers, prin-

what he had set out to write.

It was only a few hours afterward
Mr.. Brisbane fell asleep in his Fifth
avenue apartment. At his bedside
were his physicians, DR.. Leopold
Stieglitz and DR.. Frederick Zeman,
and nurse. In the apartment his
entire family had gathered-his
wife, Mrs. Phoebe Brisbane, whom
he had married in 1912; his son,

THREE more intriguing num-

rampant fashion and scintillating
style! It's trio that the younger
set in The Sewing Circle will be

consideration is given them in
Pattern 1996-This excellently
styled jumper dress is one the tot
of six and the lass of fourteen
will sing long and loud over. It
is a guaranteed delight for both
mother and daughter because it's
the simplest thing to sew and the
most intriguing frock a child ever
had. The puff of the sleeves and
the flare of the skirt place a pretty
accent on youth. Available for
sizes: 6, 8, 10, IL and IA years.
Size 8 requires IA yards of IS
inch material for the jumper and
13s yards for the blouse.
Pattern 12O2-There's subtle love-
liness about this new dress for
all occasions. It makes grand
thing of sinplicity-a brilliant sue
cess of the new silhouette. Butt
tons, bold shiny ones, add classic
chic to the back. And in the matter
of sleeves there's an opportunity
to choose for oneself. Sheer wool,
challis, taffeta or silk crepe will
be a likely material for this dress.
Designed for sizes: IL, IA, 16, 10
and 20. GO to 38 bust). Size IA
requires pa yards of 81 inch fab
ric. With long sleeves 2B yards.

Gid Their Teeth

The ladies in old japan and also
of today, to some extent, gid their
teeth, and those of the Indies
paint them red. In Greenland the
women color their faces with blue
and yellow. However fresh the
complexion of the Muscovite may
be, she would think herself ugly
if she was not plastered over with
paint. The Chinese used to have
their feet as diminutive as these
of the she goats. In ancient Per-
STA an aquiline nose was often
thought worthy of the crown. -

EMBASSY EXTENDS
DAIRY ENTERPRISE
James J. Ward Announces Pur.
chase Of Fairfax Farms
Dairy, Inc.

Purchase by the owners Of the En-
bassy Dairy, Inc, of all the stock OF
Fairfax Farms Dairy, Inc, was dis
closed last night by James j. Ward,
president of the Embassy organiza-
ton.
Despite the single ownership, the
two dairies will continue separate
operation, for the time at least, Mr..
Ward said.
He told The Star that he and his
tTother-in-law, Edward L. Kopnick,
who are the owners of Embassy, ac-
quired the Fairfax Farms stock from
Robert L. Dickson, president, and Sef-
ton Darr. vice president, of the latter
dairy. The buyers became the officers
of their newly acquired concern.
Mr.. Ward said he expected to make
no other personnel changes.
He and Mr.. Kopnick came here
from Chicago, where they had
operated milk business for MANY
years, and purchased Embassy in
1882.
The consideration in the sale of
Fairfax Farms was not disclosed.
