No house, however tvell built, is abso lutely proof against fire. The ttreproof house is no longer a- theoretical struc ture, it is true, and many houes are built either on the fireproof or elow burning system: but every house contains large quantities of inflammable material; there Is danger from the heater, or care. lest'rcss In the kitchen: the electric wir ing may be. Improperly insulated: there are many ways In which the best of houses may suffer Injury from fire, and a very serious and real problem that con fronts every owner of a countrj homo is protection against fire. In ifiany cases this niu?t be a personal protection: that Is to say, one for which the owner Is personally responsible, a protection service installed by himself and manned and applied by his own peo ple. This Is particularly true of isolated houses, situated at some distance from any fire station, and wholly dependent on local or Immediate sources of water sup ply. The volunteer tire department, while unquestionably the bust that many vital communities can afford, are Inherently deficlent In the efficiency of a paid force. The members aro scattered; they cannot immediately respond to calls made, upon them; they may not even be at home when the alarm is given; the alarm sys tem Itself may be inefficient: tho appa ratus may not be kept up to date; there may not be sufficient hose; there are many serious criticisms that can be made of these organization, although the inten tion? of the members and subscribers may be of the best, and the protection Intend ed to be given arranged on the most available plan. The faults are not q faults of the volunteers, but of the sys tem 'under which they necessarily labor. Owners of large houses, therefore, will do well to provide their own fire appa ratus, at least to a conrfderable extenL There should be a double water supply, one within and one without the house. There should be an ample supply of hose and a number of chemical fire extinguish ers. A ladder mounted on wheels and kept outside the house may be found nec essary at critical time?. There should bo force pumps for directing streams of water against the fire. In short, every reasonable and proper protection should be arranged for. Perhaps even more important than the apparatus is the knowledge of its use. It Is quite unless to supply apparatus If It Is not known how It will be used. Fire drills are therefore Important, es pecially if a large number of servants are kept. Every man should know just what Is expected ofhim in such an emer gency and Just what he Is to do. The drills should Include the actual use of the apparatus as well as the part each one is expected to take. MR. HARRIMAN'S GUESTS Gives Another Dinner in New York, With Great Success. New York Times. B. H Harrlman gave a dinner In honor of Koreklyo Takahoshi at the Metropoli tan Club Monday evening. There were about 60 guests present. Including several prominent Japanese and many ot Mr. Harrlman's perspnal friends, among them a number of prominent bankers. Including Jacob H. Schlff. Mr. Harrlman's entertainment of Mr. Takahashl. the special financial represen tative of the Japanese government abroad, was In recognition of the many courtesies extended by him to Mr. Harrlman during the lattcr's visit to Japan last Fall. The arrangements for the dinner wore especially designed to prove enjoyable for the distinguished Japanese guests, who were reminded by the decorations of the dlnlng-table and In other ways of their home country. Tho Japanese present. In addition to Mr. Takahashl, Included K. J. Imanlshi, manager of the New York agency of the Yokohama Specie Bank; a Fukal, U. Yanaglya and 9. Uchlda. Japanese Consul-General1 In New York. Tho large table .at which the threescore guests were seated was arranged In Imi tation of a Japanese garden. In the cen ter was a beautifully modeled pagoda, and at either end of the table were ponds in which sported Japanese goldfishes. After the dinner Mr. Harrlman's guests were entertained by Japanese music, played by musicians from the Island Empire-, and by Japanese athletic contests. There were several native exponents of JIu-Jltsu, who performed for the enter tainment of the diners, and also fencing matches between Japanese swordsmen. The Japanese guests expressed admlra tion of .the skill displayed by these fol lowers of the two most honored modes of Japanese defense. In entirely Informal speeches after the dinner, courtesies were exchanged between the representatives of the two nations at the dinner. The entertainment being- of purely personal character, however, no reference was made to the financial mat ters with which Mr. Takshashi Is espe cially concerned in his mission from the Japanese government. In the speech which he himself made, he gave voice to the good will between his own country and this without finding It necessary to dwell specifically upon the question- of finance, which during the period -of the recent war brought him closely in contact with American bankers.
