FIRE! GOOD SERVANT. BAD MASTER! Two news dispatches relating to peculiarly horrible fatalities causal by t'irc are printed, one nndf " the other, In the tnm newspaper. The lir: t Ls of a family of five on a KentuMty farm: "The fire "broke out on a lower floor, below th? sleeping- quarters. The three chlMren. all under 15 years old, were incinerated. Their charred bodies were found today in the ruins. The father was fatally burned while trying to rescue the children, and tho mother also received mortal injuries before heinp carried out by her huaband." The other story Is of people In an apartment in Binphamton. N. Y: "Trapped In their apartments after an outside stairway, their only means of exit, hid burned away, the father, mother and two children, 17 years and five months respectively, were burned to death. Two other tenants of the same buildlnff were burned severely and may die." Both, these cases seem to be due to overheated stoves or furnaces. This Is the season when that kind cf Are is likely to occur. Ileatinz: apparatus which has not been used all summer is called into service without proper overhauling and examination. Pome defect which would le noticed and attended to by dny does its deadly work at nlfcht, and by the time the people in the tiouso realize what has happened, it is too late. Jn the case of nn. stoves, the pressure is apt to corr.e up during tlu niuht when less pas is beinp usd in the district, and th moderate fire of th i-ver.insr becomes a roaring blast by midnight. Flimsy construction and lack of proper fire esiares and extinguishers come in another category, e'juall serious. But the human element the caution before lighting the lire-, the last look and turning down or properly banking the fire before going to Vcd is most important of all. There are entirely too many fires. Fire, like all th other great natural forces we use o casually, is a sood servant but a bad master. It needs supervision.

AN ELEVENTH-HOUR 'WHAT-IS-IT?" IVrhap.n no one writer in oil America has done more to effect the present status of the Paris treaty and league of Nations in tho Fnited States than Frank H. Simonds, and now seeing the results of militaristic ribaldry, he seems to be regarding it of rather doubtful glory. Simonda was formerly a writer on war topics for The News-Times, but that during the war, when he was serving a syndicate of newspapers as a sort of military guesser. His rrooes.s of reasoning which ran, "if this happens, that may happen." and "if this don't happen that may not," made of him a rather expert true wer, and won fur him something of a reputation and then the war ended and the "expert" seemed to become fearful lot the consummation of pence might put an end to his job. Turning "copperhead," Intent, very apparently upon doing all that ho could to prevent the United Ftates from keeping faith with itself and the rest of the world, he changed syndicates, soon after the armistice, and went to France where he was th most inveterate opponent of the league of Nat'.ons particularly as Pres't Wilson favored having it. and then of the peace trcity, picturing everything Mrong us too strong, and all thincs weak as too weak: nothing It seems having been done to suit this grand egotistical apostle of "if this happens that may happen," and if this den't happen th.it may not." He war; so all-fired afraid that the world of the future misTht remain at p eace. that as William Allen White says, for instance, he used to wear out a typewriter and chew up a handful of load-pencils twice a day. He grabbed onto every little thing, whether from Floyd do-arge. Clemenceau or Orlando, and by a process of ex aggerating mole-hills Into mountains, s.nt a ram or two over to his syndicate to apprise the United States of how everything proforeign was grar.d and lovely, while ew ry American move over there was vile. Now. however. Mr. S.mands sterns to hive had an 11th hour awakening He pronounces the document the League covenant, at whh h he has persistently and consist tuly sue. real. a the "world's test bet," and m k s the tart!ii ir dic,a ry that (jermany is already whetnr -g her sword preparatory to the "ra t war." He sn the wt rid reverting to tiiorpkjwation, ith r.r!i:i. done, the allies distrustful of each other, and d..r. o-r of a eo:i:liot into which we may be drawn that is r.ot far off.

tle re-ipon to assume for months that Mr. Slraonds was otherwi-e than fnrful lest there b no mor. wars in his time for him to "expert" over. The pros, pect of -..'' hrwing an opjH.rtunity to "if this happen--th.at n:ay happen." and "if th's don't happen that may not," as "military specialisV our.ht to lill his lie.irt with rejoicing. Male too thre is another apprehension that has ro.ii" to Mr. Simonds. Whn the next war comes, resultlr. g. if it does irom the defeat of the Paris tre.".ty ar.d league of Nation, the young men of this re public may in it upon a iraft age including editors, spef-i.ti writers, curb-stone llanncl-mouths. and l'nited StaUs senators. 21 to TO ears old, withfut rx-Toptions because of paresis or lantern-jaws. The thing to do is to make' the men do the fighting that make th wars, and there should be no escape especially for those who stayed at home the last time, to criticise, find-fault, breaking faith with our ewn peopbj, our allies, and the world. In defeating the ceti;.:urnmation for which the war was !;nal!v fought.

THE MENSURGRAPH. Fathers, according tr an article in the Popular Science Monthly, arc likely to make mistakes when mearing their children. They may exclaim proudly that the son has grown an inch when be has grown only longitudinally. He may have? lost more latitudinally and, as one might say, thick-throughly, at the same time, than he his gained in height. Tho total cubic contents of the child may be iess than before'. To correct this dilliculty. Dr. Theron Kilmer of New York has inventeel what he calls a "mensurgraph." He superimposes a negative of a screen on a negative of the child. Both are printed together. Future photographs of the child are printed with the same screen and ran easily be compared The size3 of the whole body before and after a given period of months will readily show p their eliff erences. The method is also used for X-ray pictures of deformities. Progress in tliseas or in healing of a diseased joint or a growth may be watched. Doubtless for pathological purposes the plan is extremely useful. For normal children it seems hardly necessary. The father may be misled by his use of the measuring stick to record growth. The mother who has spent all morning letting out the bands of little petticoats ar.d the hems of little dresses and reinforcing the buttons that have burst off needs no adventitious aids- When it comes to the matter of shoes and gloves and leggins. earefully laid away last spring and wholly impossible this fall No. mother eloes not need a mensurgraph. What a she would like is a microscope for the bills ami a magnifying glass for the check-balance.

NEGOTIATING FIRST. The railroad brotherhoods are now engaged In trying to convince the government that they oughi to have higher pay. They ask increases of 50 cents to $1-50 a day and other wage schedule changesThere has been some fear that, if any hitch developed in the negotiations, the trainmen would go on strike to gain their ends. They have been prompt with strike threats in the past. Now, however, they seem to be going at the matter in a different spirit. Acting Pres't Shea of tbx- locomotive firemen and engineers says: "If tho demands are turned down, we will continue negotiations. There will be no strike until our last effort to reach the desired end by arbitration has been exhausted." Fvidently the brotherhoods have learned something from the experience of the ceal miners, who iried striking first and negotiating afterward.

The prince of Wales went to White Sulphur Springs. W. Ya., "incognito, with his suite." And naturally nobody knew who he was, except everybody in town.

Congress seems to have deported Beiger to Mil-'vaukee.

The allies' liussian policy seems to be of the "off again, on again, gone again" type.

Well, Victor P.erger will not represent Milwaukee in congress; but he will still represent Milwaukee.

Italy evidently used every necessary precaution that the Fiume election should result the right way.

not Tin: a;i-: or peach, hut or human cki:i i). (Cincinnati Knqulrcr.) Is this the ;i(.' of peace? It is to be doubted. With all our hoaste 1 civilization we have not advanced much beyond the social conditions of the feudal tlaj s. Pick up your morning or evening paper, and what do you lead? Wars and rumors of war; strikes and lookouts; riots and tumults in the Cities; the apparent ruinous antagonisms and struggles between kib-e-and capital: blood in the Baltic provinces, blood in Ifu.---ia and Poland, blood on the sands of Africa, in Mexico, and in the lands of the rising sun; seditions and revolutions, and, under all, the sinister muiterlncs of peoples who have tolled for the support of governments to the end that other men and women mis:ht live better than themselves. The world still is as far from peace in any real tense as it has been at any time during the centuries. The policy of governments demands the building of dreadnoughts, the construction of submarines, the development of fightmg craft designed to rain death and ruin, the invention of high explosives and edlur agencies by the use of which It may be possible more swiftly and effectively to crush, mangle and kill men. Is tb.is tho ace of peace? No. It should be the age of reason, but it is the age of human greed and passion. Not long ngo we dedicated a peace palace at The Hague- Since then the world has witnessed unpre ceebrnted human strife, the bloodiest and most inhuman atrocities ever perpetrated on fields of bat-tl-. The peace palace starts to mock the Insincerity ol men. It is a beautiful building. This should be the age of reason, and reason tells v.s that trade is better than war; that concrete Is of more worth thnn dynamite and melinite; that the saw, the hammer and the plane arc better than the rifle, the bayonet and the sword. Capital and labor n us: to hand in hand as friends, each receiving its just due, and when this Is so the world can have peace, lastinc, real peace. Nations no more than individuals can construct the foundations of peace upon the elements of slaughter and destructions. There should be no Caesars, neither the Caesar of capital, nor of labor, nor ef the mob. There is a mightier f.-rce than any Caesar, and that is the will of a united oeou'e in this lojid of America.

The writer is in receipt of a black hand note from Abe Frank of the Oliver hotel.

An extraordinary run of haircuts among newspaper men-was reported at Jake Heckaman's today In preparation for next Tuesday's annual cabaret.
