In most cases the blame for these losses is laid at the that arch- demon of American life, carelessness It would seem from the terrible periences Americans have had with, fire that some rigid precautionary measures would begadoPted. Entire cities and townk have been wiped out over .night because of carelessness, coupled with other evils. During the past year a day was set aside when all the newspapers, pulpits, and pub- lic schools cried the doctrine of fire prevention, to no avail. Millions ef dollars worth of property and thou- sands of lives are yet to be sacrificed until the American people pay more attention to the danger of fire, adopt rigid laws carrying for all wilful incendiarism, door of heavy penalties and ob- serve those simple precautions that come under the head of “Safety First”.

In 1917, among the great calls the thought and the energy of country, in the perplexity of en- ecrossing and grave problems, domes- tic and foreign woman suffrage seem- ¢d to many voters almost an imperti- nence.

They want a reactionary and a despotic government in Mexico, be- cause it is ‘more profitable te them and they have assailed Carranza it as much’ vehemence as they ordin- arily direct against the President of the United States. It is easy to be- lieve that some of these interests are behind Villa, and it is equally easy to believe that German influentes are behind him, one actuated by finan- cial considerations and the other by military considerations. The motive is plain enough in either case, and the’ solution of the mystery might go fa¥ toward settling the Mexican ques- tion in the minds of the American people—New York World. The Decline Of Subtlety. (Brooklyn Eagle.) The serious after-dinner speaker is finding no difficulty in delivering his message. But there is evidence that the spirit of the motion pictures enter- ing the after-dinner field is making subtlety increasingly more difficult. Recently Chauncey M. Depew de- plored a declining appreciation of American humor. Job Hedges more often than formerly devotes T time to serious remark: George Ade has grown conservative and at intervals Irvin Cobb recalls his earlier stories written in 'a quiet vein. Speeches are not so-fully reported in the newspa- as they were twenty or thirty ago, when all journalism was more local, but we read more than we did them. The number of news- papers has been vastly increased. And this reading takes in all the good jokes that have been culled by the newspapers and the periodical press and fed to the multitude like chopped bait. The hook of the after-dinner speaker covered with the same peri- winkle of humor now too often dan- gles untouched before a sated school of hardened diners; with no shock of surprise there is no laugh. But above all is the new spirit of unrest. Other disturbing factors are the intrusive competition of the flash- light picture, the moving picture show, vaudeville monologue artists and sing- ers and often the announcement that the dinner will be followed by a dance. That puts the after-dinner speaker in direct competition with the man who plays the drum and blows the whistle for the maxixe with its superior claim to youth. The wits continue to where their audiences men of one craft as at tion dinner where the room practice are attuned to catching deft uses of word Much of Simeon Ford’'s succe: was due to the quick sympathy of his audiences of hotel men to whom he addressed hotel shop talk and any sort of shop talk ‘to shop workers is akin to the comfortable humor of old shoes. When Mr, Ford dertook to write one column of his concentrated matter .a week for a newspaper he quit after a hrief ex-/| perience; his inspiration depended upon the sympathy and support of his audiences, The dinner dance and *the motion pictures are here for after-dinner en- tertainment, but the 4peaker with a fresh story taken from his own ex- perience must look elsewhere to find the audience that will appreciate what he has to say; he cannot compete with a three-ringed circus. do well only 14 CLATMS, Others Will Bring Suit For Wreck at Milford.

Vienna, via London, April 14, 6:15 a. m.—The Tageblatt ys the Bud- apest chemist, Dr. Just, who was the inventor of the Wolfram lamp, has discovered an electric cell, with iron and carbon clectrodes whose electro- Iyte is composed of an organic sub- stance which renews its vigor com- pletely from the oxyzen of the air in a short time. Electrodes having 200 square centi- metres surface give a current of five to six amperes with volt tension. One hundred watts was taken from one cell for four hours in succession and the cell was then given half an hour's rest and it was found that its power was completely restored. is T ACADEMY.
