SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL BE AOVISED AS TO FIRE EVILS

'Fire Prevention Day" Will Be Observed in All the Public Schools of This City on Monday.

(Continued from Page One.) solutely sure it will not start a fire. Use of Gasoline. Gasoline is very explosive and should be handled with great care. It is the most dangerous part of petroleum. It is more dangerous than gunpowder, because powder will stay where you put it, while gasoline will not. It evaporates very rapidly. The vapor is heavier than air; and, therefore will be found near the floor. This vapor explodes more easily than gunpowder and makes n more intense heat. The burns from gasoline are deep and very painful. The most comomn uses of gasoline are for cooking and cleaning clothes. We should beware of cheap gasoline stoves; the gasoline can should never be kept in the house. When the tank is to be filled be sure there is no fire In the room or close to where you are working. The tank should not be completely filled or any splashed on over the tank or clothing. It is never safe to have gasoline burning for any length of time when no one is around. The burners often become flooded with gasoline and the blaze will flash up as high as the tank. This is liable to cause the gasoline in the tank to explode. If gasoline is used to clean clothes, it should be done out of doors. The vapor will then settle down and be absorbed by the earth. The Fighting Fire. We should not only know a few simple means of fighting fire, but we should go through the performance often enough to make it a habit, so that when there Is a fire we will not only know what to do, but do it. 1 We should never go to sleep in a strange place without knowing just how to escape should a fire occur. 2 If there is a fire alarm, every member of the household should know exactly how to turn in the alarm. 3 If there are any fire extinguishers we should know how to use them. 4 In case you should observe a mall blaze, think quickly the best thing to. do, and do it. Fire works rapidly and you must do likewise. 5 If no water is handy, a blanket or other woolen materials are often more effective. Smother the flames by throwing the blanket over the flam; or If they are too large to be covered by the blanket, strike the flames a number of quick blows. 6 Remember that it is not so much the amount of water used, as it is getting it on the right place. Never waste the means at your command. 7 A very effective means of checking fire in an open field or woods is a wet broom or a bundle of branches with green leaves. Each stroke should count. Escaping from Buildings. When we discover that there is a

fire in the house, the first thing to think about is the personal safety of all the occupants. The alarm should be given in such a way as to cause 'as little excitement as possible. Determine the best means of escape and see that the other membra of th family know this, also. It is best always ito wrap yourself in blankets or some woolen material that does not burn easily. If any one is burned the parts j should be covered with wet cotton or i cloth. A little soda in the water will : relieve the sufferer. The main thing lis to keep the air away from the burn j until the physician arrives. A Good Resolution. If every boy and girl in the schools ,of Indiana would subscribe to the following resolutions and carefully observe them, there would be a great saving of life, less suffering and less iloss of property. Resolved: That I will make every ; effort to-secure the safest matches for my use; that I will make it the rule of my life to see that matches are not jleft where there is any possibility of ithem being ignited; that I will not throw burned matches carelessly , about; that I will not use gasoline where there is fire; that 1 will not ; permit any rubbish to accumulate in any place that will endanger life or ; property; that I will fully master some plan of action that will be of service in case of fire; that I will never start a fire where there is danger of it spreading.

Wilhelm Has Fondness for

Artist, Sculptor, Photographer

(National News Association) BERLIN, Oct. 7. Many of the parts in which Emperor William has been portrayed. He has been painted and sculptured in the trappings of King and Emperor, in the uniform of fieldmarshal and admiral, in the accoutrements of a Roman Imperator and in the robes of a doctor of Oxford university. Now an interesting addition is to be made to this long series of portraits. Some years ago the Emperor surprised the company at a ball given by one of his sons by appearing unexpectedly disguised as the Great Elector, who, as an actual progenitor, a God-fearing man, and a believer in navies and colonies, has always been preferred by him to the sceptical, childless, and purely Continental Frederick. A photograph taken of the Emperor in his costume was witheld from general circulation and reserved for presentation to his most trusted friends as a special mark of confidence. This picture is now, however, being used by Professor Walter Scott as a groundwork for the statue which is permanently to ornament one of the halls of the Berlin Academy of Arts. The Emperor stands erect with one foot on a globe. His left hand holds a sceptre which rests on his bent knee, while his right is supported on the hip. A full-bottomed wig falls over the tracery of the lace jabot which covers the top of the cuirass. This last detail is understood to have been modelled from a Roman breast plate in a London museum. On it is depicted Athena approached by the two Goddesses of Victory.

Berliners are shocked by the announcement, apparently on good authority, that a regular trade in children of both sexes is going on in their midst. The announcement is made by "Sister" Helene Arendt, who was for six years an employe of the police in Stuttgert, and has just concluded an investigation of Berlin conditions at

the instance of the So.ciety for the Protection of Women and Children. Sister Arendt claims ability to prove that in Berlin children are regularly bought and sold at prices ranging from $75 to $2,500 and more, and are being sent to foreign countries for various purposes without let or hindrance by the Berlin police. Many of the children after being taken over, on payment of a lump sum, are dispatched to Paris to find shelter in French orphanages at the cost of the French taxpayer. Nothing is more common, according to Sister Arendt, than for children to be taken in adoption for a lump sum of from $750 to $1250 and then deliberately starved to death or caused mysteriously to disappear. The Berlin police while throwin gcold water on Sister Arendt's sensational disclosures, admit that such cases as she describes occur, but maintain that the yare rare and that there is no organized trade. It is well known here where the prospects of a dowerless girl ever getting married are comparatively remote, that enormous numbers of illegitimate children are annually put out of the way in some illegal and underhand fashion, and every stranger must be struck by the extraordinary quantity

of midwives who advertise "discreet" reception and treatment of clients. In all large cities the evil exists to some extent, but Sister Arendt has yet to show convincingly that a trade in children 1b carried on with the diabolical skill and method which is applied to what in all civilized countries is called the white slave traffic.

have been waiting for year for a license to display them. The German police, who have always done more than their share in that direction, have made another notable contribution to the gaiety of nations in connection with the fight films. Hitherto they have refused to

sanction the pictures on high ethical grounds. No amount of argument could convince them that the films could with safety be exhibited in a ideals as "Gay Berlin." Finally the cinometograph people discovered the German policeman's vulnerable spot. The films were subjected to rigid scrutiny, and one fine day the owners came forth with the announcement that in all the crowd of 30,000 spectators at the Reno ringside only one solitary policeman was discoverable. Could there any longer be doubt of the fight's impeccable respectability. The police admitted that this was an unanswerable argument, the censors ban was forthwith withdrawn, and the films are now started on what promises to be a prosperous career.

Herr Maximilian Harden, the most prolific and most ascetic publicist in Germany, has just published his latest book, "Heads." The "Heads" which he disects in the guise of character sketches include King Edward VII., Pope Leo XIII., the Emperor Francis JoseDh. the Czar. H. Briand.

Mme. Rejane, Tolstoi, and Mr. Rock-!

efeller. It is a conglomerate collection and is typical of Hardons boundless versatility. Hardon, who was discovered by Bismarck, pays fresh tribute of adoration to the greatness of his benefactor in "Kopfe."

HEW BERRY BEING GROWN BY GILBERT Local Fancier Has a Himalaya Vine, which Has Grown Forty Feet. A giant Himalaya vine is the latest novelty which J. B. Gilbert. 102 North

Fifteenth street, has introduced to the

horticulturists of Wayne county. Gilberts new vine has grown more than thirty six feet since the twentieth day of last May and the owner 6ays that unless the frost comes sooner man expected, the vine will have reached forty feet during its first season. The vine bears a luscious berry, which is in appearance and taste, quite similar to the ordinary bJack berry, but the

berries will not appear until next season. Last May, Mr. Gilbert received and ordinary small envelope from his postman, and, on opening it, found enclosed a sprout not more than four inches long, which the donor, a New York state man, called the giant Himalaya, and which he boasted would attain a height of forty feet during its first

summer. Mr. Gilbert set the plant out,

and allowed it to start up a twentysis foot pole, giving it special care. The vine grew right up and now has reached the top of the pole, and has turned and come a third of the way down again Neither has a single sprout taken all the energy of the plant, for there are three principal shoots, almost equal in length, ( and several other shoots that are from six to twelve feet long. The berries, which do not appear until the second season are similar in looks and taste, to a blackberry, but are larger, .grow in clusters like grapes. The vfne is extremely hardy, as it is created to exist on the rug

ged sides of the Himalaya mountains in Asia. Gilbert's specimen is the only one of its kind in this section of the country. In his collection of rare plants. Mr. Gilbert also has some giant tomatoes. These tomato vines have grown to a height of twenty feet from the ground, and the tomatoes are so thick that nine were found on a single branch.

The fruit is solid, heavy and large. To prove these qualities. Mr. Gilbert presented the reporter with choice tomato measuring a full twelve inches in circumference.

Unreasonable. "John." said the bargain hunting half of the matrimonial trust as they sat at the breakfast table. "I wish you would let me have $10 this morn Ing." "My dear." replied, the meek and lowly husband. "I wish you would break yourself of the habit you hae of dreaming that 1 married an heiress.

Schloss Ricklingen, Hanover, once the residence of a Prince of Waldeck, has been the scene of a tragedy of disappointed artistic hopes and an unsuccessful struggle with poverty. Four years ago it was occupied by an artist named Huver and his wife, to whom it belonged, and twelve months later ta boy was born to them. But the orders for pictures on which they hoped to live failed to arrive, and as they had no other means of subsistance, they were obliged to sell the Schloss, in which, however, they remained.

As early as 400 B. C. the ancients had observed that iron rod3 had the power to avert lightning. NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE

The newest form of waltz in Germany is called the "Pendulum." It is hard to describe on paper but the idea may be had of it in performance by imagining a pumphandle in vigorous motion. The pumping keeps time with the music, the bodies of the dancers swaying rythmically in accord. There is, of course, nothing new in the movement, so far except that it is exaggerated far beyond what is considered allowable in England or America, but in Germany the feet appear to keep no particular time at all, but "creep about," to use the German idiom, independently of the rythm. It Is attributable to the limitations imposed on the waltz step b ythe hobble skirt which reduces the action of the f.eet to a minimum, and it is probable posed on the waltz step by the hobble skirt the "Pendulum" too, will pass away.

A Scientific Achievement The discovery and turning in an alarm of fire makes possible the heroic work of the firemen in putting it out. Undiscovered, a fire spreads with amazing rapidity, destroys everything within reach. The discovery of the dandruff germ was of inestimable value to mankind, but only because it paved the way for the greater service, the discovery of Newbro's Herpicide. Dandruff is contagious, and its spread is checked by the use of Herpicide. This delightful scalp dressing kills the germ, and prevents the hair from falling. It stops that itching almost instantly. Herpicide is the one standard and original dandruff germ destroyer. Any

other preparation making this claim

is an imitation. Recommended and applied by firstclass barbers. Send 10c in postage or silver for sample and booklet to The Herpicide Co., Dept. R., Detroit, Mich. One dollar size bottles are guaran

Germany's intellectual horizon was conspicuously widened this evening when the first public exhibition of the Johnson-Jeffries prize fight pictures took place at an Unter den Linden cinometograph theater. The proprietors, who paid $20,000 for the films,
