These sets were erected on a lot be hind the studio, and to provide more realistic effects, they were burnd at night. ,Because of their size the sets were erected one at a tinw, and the com pany, including many children who played inmates of orphanage, worked throug two entire nights. In the Interior scenes, in which the "'Duchess of Towers," played by Elsie Feriuson, succumbs to the flames, parts of the woodwork and furniture iwere soaked with gasoline. The Long Island fire authorities had -been noti fied in advance of the pre-arranged conflagration, and had issued a permit, but city firemen were at .hand to pre vent the blazo from getting beyond control. 'In the exterior scenes, the fire atp paratus of sixty years ago, is drawn to the burning building by firemen in the queer costumes of that day. An additional corps of watchmen was obtained by the studio to keep sightseers off the lot while these scenes were made. Hundreds of resi dents of the neighborhood watched the blaze.

The paying teller gulped and then asked, "Have you an identificatidn?" The man outside the wire window opened his wallet and produced his automobile owner's license. "I'm sorry," declared the teller, "but that won't do." The man with the check produced legal documents, letters and other pa pers which happened to be in his brief case. "Sorry again," came from behind the window, "but none of these will do. Let's see your 4hat." The custoimer handeld oviir hi weather-worn straw for examination. After a glance in the leather band the clerk methodically counted out the money. "That's the surest identification," confided the teller, "for although im postors might have all kinds of fake documents to prove who they are, they are not likely to think of having letters in their hats to correspond with those under which they seek to get money. Of course, the "J J" may stand for Joseph Johnson, but the chances are in favor of John Jones. The hat beats all legal documents for telling the truth." OLD ENGLISH HEDGES GOING Landscape Beauties Being Sacriflood to Demands for increased Pro. duction From Land. One of England's greatest beauties, the hedgerow of hawthorn, or "May," Is rapidly disappearing. Driven out by the tractor, either in the west of England, noted for Its double .hedge. rows, sometimes with narrow paths between, or the Eastlands, with hedges and dikes alternating to the marshes, some landmark of this kind has dis appeared. In Hertfordshire and Sussex this same thing is happening and the old sturdy roots are being dug up and burned, and replaced by miles upon miles of wire fences, to keep the sheep within b9tjnds. Young college-bred farmers, filled with enthusiasm, facts and labor-savIng ideas, have it all worked out, and much of the beauty of rural England with it. Cut all the hedges out of sour fields of 10 acres, and you have one field of 40 acres; one man and one tractor can plow it in 10 days; where with h edges it took a horse plow 40 days to accomplish the same result. Origin of thA Word "Cop." The word "cop" originated in Lon don, being derived from the "three initials of1 "constable of police." This interesting hit of info'n1atlonl coimies from Police Commissioner Enright 'of New York City. Chief IEnright's theory of how the word "cop" came into being has expo rience, precedent and probability to back it. It has experience, because Commissioner En right is conversant with police affairs. It has precedent, because when tite words of a plhrase happen to have ultials which, taken together, can be pronounced in one syllable, there is a tendency to' lump them in one, and so form a new word. It has probabilIty because the ety mology suggested is simple and nt ural. "Cop" is an abbreviation which any English-speaking public would like to make of "constable of police." ,Nobody knows all about a word until he has looked up its origin. To do that Is one of thehet of helps toward fixing, the meaning of words much longer and far less familiar than "cop" Lastingly In the mind.-Buffalo Times. ,Known to Each Otherj I find it most diflcult to remember names, and, this falling, often gets me into trouble. At a (lance one evening I was introduced to a charming girl, who was standing by the door of the ballroom waiting for her partner. We stood talking for a few moments, when an acquaintance came up to talk to me, and I, starting out gibly to in troduce the two, realized I had com pletely forgotten the girl's name.
