Among other things he said:

would be monster asset, measured

THE OCTOBER WOODS.

The nature lover who does the fine
writing in the editorial columns OF
the Marshalltown Times-RepublicaI
undertook the other day to tell about
the glories of the woods at this time
of year. He headed the article (pre
sumably) as above, but thanks to the
ingenuity of the intelligent linotype
operator it appeared in the paper un
der the caption THE Ottumws
Woods" Nevertheless it is well worth
perusal and Gate City readers vii
appreciate it accordingly:
The groves are afire with color. The
the naples burn with red and gold
Wave upon wave the wooded slopes
along the river rise and flow upon the
eye like mighty organ symphony
breaks on the ear.
The banners of the fall are upon the
outer walls, gorgeous banners of Grim
son and yellow bordered by the deeper
toned oak trees and the russell of the
surrounding fields. There they flaunt
against the rich green of the grass
lands! Apples of gold in pictures oil
silver, all the fervid imagery of the
poets fail in description. Their beau
ty makes words beggars and language
ragged. Blaze upon blaze, billow upor

A FIRE LOSS INQUIRY,

A national Investigation into the
subject Of fire losses and fire rates
was proposed at the recent conserva-
ton congress In Kansas City by Con-
gresham Fred jackson of Kansas,
who declared that the annual loss by
fire was an appalling problem. He
pointed to the fact that in Europe the
annual fire loss is only thirty cents
per capita, while the people of the
United States pay an annual tribute
to waste and extravaganza and negli.
gence amounting to So for every man,
woman and child. Mr. Jackson said
in this connection:
Fire insurance Is tax distributed
by the insurance companies which
every property owner must pay. And
that distribution, from its very nature,
is not fair or equal. Let us investigate
the question of insurance rates and
bring about a change in the conditions
which permit the present waste and
| loss"
Mr.. Jackson proposed a federal in.
vestigation into the general subject OF
fire losses; how they may be prevent
ed and also on the business of the
rates. He argued that it should be
a federal investigation because the
subject affects every state alike. AT
ter such an investigation the data and
results should be put before the public
and before the state insurance
departments SO that an adjustment Of
the present inequality of insurance
rates may be obtained.
A resolution advocating federal in
vestigation of the fire insurance ques
ton was adopted by the congress.

DOMESTIC ENGINEERS.

A high official of womens clubs in
New Jersey, who has given especial
attention to domestic economy and
modes of reducing family budgets, is
reported to have told the delegates to
the food congress and domestic man
agement show in New York that the
servant in the average American
home now stays about fortnight in a
place. Reports of this important con.
ference would seem to Indicate that
the line of strategy laid out by Amer.
lean housewives for the near future is
something like this, as summarized
by a writer in the Christian Science
Monitor:
Servants ceasing to care for per
manent positions and becoming In
cearsingly exorbitant in their demands
will not be coaxed and coddled as II
the past; they will be summarily dis
missed. Housewives and daughter:
will resume care of the kitchen ant
supervision OF the dining room, with
out ceasing to inhabit the library o.
the parlor. Elaborate separate es
adjustments will be given up for coz!
apartments under common rooi
where heavier house service can b.
had from servants accessible to al
tenants. Remodeling and furnishin
of kitchens and their equipment wit

study of economies of expenditure Q

tigue, dirt and annoyance Of 'dome'
tic engineering to a minimum, e'

It is suggested in this connectio
that the most promising aspect of TIL
revolt against the tyranny of the d
nestle servant is the rehabilitation
