Ray Standard Baker makes an extraordinary and ingenious contribution to the January American Magazine. His story is entitled “The Last 1 hase of the Great War,” and he describes in a speculative and lyimorous manner an imaginary invasion of America by Germans in 1915-1916. How the Americans adopted a doctrine of non-resistance and met the situation is told in away full of sense, humor and surprise. Apropos of the present agitation in Washington for increased armaments Mr. Baker's article is especially timely. Reports of fires caused by hazards especially incident to the Christmas season are beginning to arrive at the office of W. E. Longley, state fire marshal. In this connection, Mr. Longley is calling attention to the fact that careless handling of candles on Chirstmas trees caused more than a dozen fires in Indiana last year during the Christinas holidays. In addition to the loss by fire, Santa Claus was severely burned in at least a dozen different cities in Indiana. Mr. Longley advises that Santa Claus should wear asbestos whiskers. By the construction of a steel coal bin, which is sinfilar in appearance to i the storage tanks employed at grain elevators, a Sodus, N. Y., dealer has lone much for lessening the disagreeI able features of the average city coal yard. One of these bins is shown in ' in illustration in the January Popular irciianics Magazine. The large conainer rests on a concrete foundation, [ and is divided into six separate cliain- | hers, each of which is used for a disI Cerent grade of coal. The greater part I of the manual labor ordinarily conlected with handling coal is eliminated. A conveying apparatus, onerated by an electric motor, carries the coal from the cars, as they arrive on the siding, into the bin desired. The cold, crisp air is good for the body and soul. It brushes the cobwebs from the brain and makes the old microbes twitch and squirm in all the regions of the organism. The keen oxygen cuts its way down into the caverns of the lungs and burns up the rubbish there, and then It pounces upon the liver and slashes that until it arouses an appetite for spare ribs and sausage, mince pie and buckwheat cakes. Herein is one of the master glories of the cold weather -cold, clean oxygen and sau sage and kraut. Let us pray that all i can enjoy this glory of the boreal breezes; that all can have bright firesides, warm clothes and pork chops, that will enable them to extend an open arm welcome to their true friend, zero weather.
