Answered R Boys A Fire Chief. There are few lives more pictur esque in a modern city than the life of the fireman. To the boy who is naturally fitted for it, the life is a pleasant one, for the work, when it comes, is full of excitement and ad venture, and the routine duties are not arduous. la almost every large city, firemen are well paid, and a man gets a pension if he is hurt or after he has been a certain number of years in the service. , It used to bo that a fire chief was a man who had been some years in the service, and who had attained promotion and command by po litical influence. A little of that un happy condition still remains in some places, but, in general, there is a strong movement toward the trained man. In modern cities, the systems of fire protection are not only numer ous, but very complicated. A sky scraper does not depend on water pumped up by an engine. In one city block in New York, there are no less than five entirety different internal fire protection systems. A fire chief must know and understand all these. To fight skyscraper fires success fully requires a tolerable knowledge of architecture, and a clear under standing of the resistances of vari ous materials to fire. A knowledge of the principles that underlie elec tric wiring is valuable. It is certain that a fire chief must have had practical experience. But the main point to be remembered is that a young fellow entering a fire department will not rise to the top by reason of mere courage. All fire men have that. He won't rise to the top, either, by mere ability to handle men, though this is essential. The higher posts of command and responsibility are for the fellows who are up to the minute on modern devices. The fire chief of the future, in whose hands will lie the fate of thousands of lives and millions of dollars is the boy who is preparing himself, while still in school. Don't wait to begin to learn until you have entered the department. Begin now. Promotion will come quickly to the trained man and the career is one deserving of the highest honor.

Susan Grey had decided to go into business for herself. After five years of hard work in the bakery depart ment of a city restaurant, she was eager to put some of her ideas into practice in a shop of her own. With several hundred dollars' cap ital, she opened up a tasty little shop on a busy corner of the city. She began by selling only baked goods, but her trade grew so rapidly that she was forced to widen her range of goods and is today the manager of a high-class catering establish ment The old home kitchen is dying out. Several reasons have brought this about. One is the high price of food stuffs, the other is the diffi culty of getting servants. As a re sult, the delicatessen shop and the community kitchen have become a necessity. And, since the delicates sen shop is only a make-shift for home cooking, at best, the commu nity kitchen shows signs of becom ing more and more important. This community kitchen idea is new in North America, but well known in Europe. Properly han dled, it has great money opportuni ties. There is one such at Evanston, III., which sends out 500 dinners weekly. A net profit of 25 cents a dinner is low. That means $125 weekly, -clear, after all expenses are paid. Success in this depends on three things: knowing how to buy, know ing how to please customers. The delivery system is one of the most important branches. Hot food is an essential, but there are special con tainers manufactured now which make that not only possible, but easy. No girl with a good business head, with some experience in home cook ery, with a little capital, and the will ingness to be ever-vigilant, need hes itate to open up a home cooking shop. With the present demand, she is bound to make it pay. (Tomorrow: A Wedge to Success.)
