INDUSTRIAL BOARD
SEEKS DONATIONS
Georgetown Center Supplies
Needy Women With Sewing
to Enable Them to Earn
Money.

The Georgetown Industrial Center To-
Gated at 144O Wisconsin avenue, Is So
Letting donations Of money or materials
for the European war sufferers. This
philanthropic organization will pay
needy women to cut and sew materials
donated to the center into garments.
The finished articles will be sent to any
town or country specified by the con-
tributor in case they may have any
preference.
The center supplies poor women with
sewing which they can do at home, for
in many cases women who need money
cannot leave their homes to seek work
outside The clothing thus made Is sold
to the needy for mere cost OF materials.
There was a special meeting Of the
board Of which Mrs. Henry ]. Finley is
president, Were it was decided to use
some surplus money on hand to aid the
war sufferers in this way for this
method will also help poor women in
Washington. The association desires
that the people who wish to contribute
toward the relief Of war victims will
send money or materials to the head
quarters of the association in George
town.

$3.50 Fires Investigated
In Year by Fire Marshal

A detailed review of the work done
by the office of the fire marshal is
contained in the annual report Of Fire
Marshal P. w. Nicholson, forwarded
10 the Commissioners today.
The report says in part:
During the year there were 1880
alarms of fire received and investigat-
ed, an increase of Ills alarms over the
preceding year.
THE total estimated loss for the year
IS sSS4,ll fraction over l3 per cent
OF the total insurance Of SIS, 33S, 944.
The loss for the present fiscal year
Is an increase of $50. 3Sl.0 as compared
with the loss for the preceding year.
The loss for the present fiscal year,
IS compared with the loss for the pre-
oeding year, is considerably increased
md due to the fact that the number of
extra alarms and individual fires is
Eomewhat larger than the preceding
YEAR and the loss thereby is greatly
increased, especially so where in at
least seven distinct fires the losses ex-
ceded between $500 to S150,000
1t is very gratifying to know that
IN the other 1924 fires the loss is only
Sl73,l60. This is due to the fact that
The inspection OF business houses,
hotels, regular and motion picture
theaters, public halls, apartment
houses. office buildings and private
residences is still being vigorously
pursued and all conditions, from a fire
standpoint Of view are carefully ex-
amined and where conditions are found
be in violation Of the regulations, the
conditions are ordered remedied at
once, or within a reasonable time, as
he case may warrant"

JUSTICE IS PATIENT

The spirit of accommodation,
kindness and patience with which
the president is approaching the
trust problem carries no hint of
compromise. Whatever concessions
the president makes are not in
principles; they are in methods.
Accommodation, kindness and
patience appears in the fact that
the president civilly asks big bust
ness to recognize the will and well
fare Of the people; that before any
thing is to be done full hearings
r to be had and that the proposed
laws are not to take effect until the
country has had time to adjust it.

The trouble with most reformers
is that they look for immediate
perfection. Some of them appear
to think that the mere passage of
q Law W every purpose. They
forget that evils of long standing
never have been and never will be
cured in a day. Every one Of the
wrongs which this administration
seeks to correct has been one of
slow growth. Favor here, privilege
there and corruption somewhere
else have been necessary from time
to time TO lay the ground work for
aggressive monopoly and injustice.
Power misused and power abused
not for a day or a year, but for
many years have produced a situa-
ton which profoundly influences
the business and Industrial lives Of
men who had no part in creating il.
AS patience and persistence are
always the supreme tests of the
people in effecting reforms it is
well that the president exhibits
these qualities 50 clearly. If the
people adhere to him and his
methods their accomplishments will
be great: If they fall away be-
cause miracles sre not hastily
worked, they will renew their own
sefackles.

HEARST'S EASY
QUESTION NO. 2

The December link in Hearst's
string of government ownership
sausage is not overly creditable
ven to that organized purveyor of
intellectual excreta. 1t is devoted
entirely to Refreshing the worn
out straw of the mismanagement
and m~isfinancing of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford Railroad.
In true Hearstesque style the
threadbare recital is closed up with
the convincing stem winder:
"How would it have been had the
government owned New Haven't"
Well, if it had been the kind of a
government that Hearst gives when
ever it gets control it would have
been as much worse than it is now,
stupidity is worse than cupidity.
Hearst is as crooked as Wall Street
only not so smart. 1t was Hearst
that saddled Chicago with n million
dollar contract for voting machines
that you can beat with a bent hair
pin. That's what Hearst's idea Of
government would do to the rail-
roads if it had a chance.
That's what Hearsts is playing
for: A chance to beat the railroads
as it has looted every treasury but
its own on which it ever got its
claws.
Hearst is for Hearsts govern
ment first, and then government
ownership of any kind that has a
dollar that can be garpered in
Searchlight.
