when the business section Of Balti-
more burned.
A discouraging feature Of such q
report is that 1t comes at q time
when there has been real effort made
to reduce fire risks. The loss in
creases year by year. If business
depression continues, the current
year may be expected to make q still
worse showing. Idle plants burn
oftener than plants that are run
ming.
Some day we shall come to full
realization of the enormous unneces-
sary loss entailed by fire and shall
begin the right sort Of preventive
campaign to lower it. One place to
begin is in the schools. It is prob.
ably within the truth to say that q
considerable part of the cost of the
bill. for education could be
Cancelled by the saving that could be
made by bringing up the oncomins
generations with proper appreciation
Of the wealth wasted by fire that
even reasonable prSaution would

them, and Argentina has never since
1888 ceased to protest against Brit

products they could raise; the peo-
pie Of half dozen overcrowded
countries in Europe could well pro-
vide population for them. Yet in
stead of moving out to such lands
Of opportunity, people prefer to re-
main and overerowd the narrow
lands of their nativity, until they
get SO thick that they fall a-fighting
among themselves for the poor privi-
lege Of controlling areas already un-
able to support the multitudes
thronging them.
If the Great War should serve to
remind the world Of its vast areas
of unused land. and to induce the
nations to cooperate in some gigan-
tic project to people the wastes and
set them producing, it would have
done much to make the future con-
slider that it was not entirely q mis-

Miss Maggie Teyte Promises to

Miss Maggie Teyte. prlna donna, who

OF the. Lafayette Kit fund, as one OF
several entertainments to be given in
the near future to help the f:ind.

Of the committee. talked with Miss
Teyte regarding the proposed enter
the soioist said she would be delighted
to lend her voice to so worthy q cause,
and that she would try to arrange her
schedule SO as to return to Washington
at an early date.
Mrs. Townsend said today the COM
m.ttee felt greatly encouraged by the
enthusiasm shown by the women of
ready nearing the 81 900 mark.
The kits. which will be sent to, the

THE NAVAL PROGRAM

The majority of the House Naval
Affairs Committee has declared for
4 program which will add to the
navy two battleships, sixteen sub
marines, six destroyers, one giant
submarine of the Seagoing type, one
transport, one hospital ship, and one
oiler. Perhaps it is as well-balanced
a program as could reasonably be
expected to come out of d fight be-
tween big-navy and little-nsvy fac
tions; but it is not quite what would
have come from a committee of
naval experts intrusted with the au-
thority to distribute over an ideal
program the same amount of money.
For example, there is distinct
difference between destroycrs and
scout cruisers. Our navy is woe
fully weak in scouts, which are
among the most important auxili-
aries Of any fleet. They are needed
for q different service than that pre-
sumed to be rendered by dcstroyers;
and it is bad economy to provide
destroyers to do the work that
scouts ought to do. No navy of first
or second class is so weak in scouts,
properly so-called, as the American.

FACE EXECUT|ONER
Government Expected to Try to
Head OFF Interference by
CoIquitt in Mexico.

Administration officials today are
expected to take a hand to stop exc
cvtion Of four Americans reported
at Nuevo Laredo. Mexico. Authori-
ties were inclined to feel that the State
Departments jurisdiction extended to
this subject. and hence that 1t, instead
Of Governor Colauitt Of Texas. should
deal with the problem.
Colquitt. reported to have requested
stay Of sentence until he could reach
Nuevo Laredo. might complicate the
situation through drastic personal &C.
ton, in the belief Of officials here
Hence, 1t is considered more than prob.
able that the department itself would
seek to prevent the executions. The
men reported involved are Headley
White, Will Burris. viii White, and
Tertll Bobo cattlemen.
The department is awaiting word from
Carranza on its protest against the
threatened closing Of Mexican oil wells
owned by foreign interests.

SHIPPING VIA. PANAMA

Philadelphia is promised steam
ship line of it's own to ply between
that port and three or four ports on
the Pacific coast. The first vessel of
the new line will be ready to load at
Philadelphia the latter half of April.
The people proposing the line want
to make it an exclusively Philadel-
phia affair. At present there are
three lines that operate between the
western coast and Philadelphia, but
while all of them carry cargo from
the west to Philadelphia, only one
takes freight from Philadelphia for
the west. This is, of course, due to
the fact that New York has such q
great preponderance of the maritime
business of the eastern coast.
If Philadelphia and its vicinity
proves able to provide cargo for
regular sailings, a line of vessels
will be established. One of the diff
ficulties of the situation is that there
is a greater eastbound than west
bound tonnage, but it is believed by
those who have given consideration
to the transcontinental problem that
this will, in time, adjust itself by the
development of new lines of traffic
westbound. The competition between
railroads. and ocean lines for this
business is already becoming a real
factor in the railroads posture.

THE HIP POCKET

Colorado's legislature VS. contem.
plating q flank movement-very lit.
orally such-against the crime Of
homicide. It proposes to prohibit
the hip pocket in trousers.
The author Of the proposed legis.
lation explains that when a man in
Colorado is taken in for shooting
somebody, he commonly explains
that the victim "reached for his hip
pocket" which in Colorado is q sign
that it is time to timber up the ar
tillery. Ergo, if nobody has a hip
pocket nobody can rely on such an
excuse.
This suggests a plan for circum-
venting the demon rum. Why doesn't
Senator Sheppard, if he can't other
wise discover a means to dry up the
town, introduce a rider to abolish
the brass rail in front of the bar?

COLD STORAGE TRUTHS

Cold storage for meats, eggs, but
ter, apples, poultry, and the like
ought to be a means to spreading
supplies equitably over the entire
year, avoiding acute shortages at
one period and saving surpluses at
others.
Any legislation on the subject of
cold storage, to be of public service
must aim to insure that these re-
suits will be obtained.
There has been an impression for
number of years that interests in
control of storage facilities have
used them, not to equalize seasonal
supplies, but to establish monopo-
listic control. Various inquiries into
the subject seem to have produced
rather meager justification for this
theory Legislation is now pending
in Congress, the Mcclellan bill, which
proposes to establish ono arbitrary
regulation, that beef shall not be
kept in cold storage over seven
months.
It will be dangerous to make arbi-
trary regulations il such matters.
If beef can be kept more than seven
months without deterioration in
quality, there is no reason for fixing
such a limit. There may be excel
lent reasons for permitting it to re-
main in storage longer.
The farmer does not distribute his
marketing of livestock equally over
the whole year. He wants to be
certain that he can get a good, rea-
sonable price whenever he is ready
to sell. Likewise, Biddy d"es not lay
eggs with the same zest and regu-
larity in December that she OBJ
serves in April. Without cold stor-
age we should more and more tend
to have a feast in one season and a
famine in another; the producer
would face great uncertainties in
regard to his market, the packers of
meats would at times be unable to
handle all the stock offered to them,
and at others would not dare to take
all that would b. rendered.
Such regulation of cold storage
facilities as will insure against
using them to perpetratc monopoly,
is desirable; but arbitrary regula-
tions that will limit the possibility
of doing useful service to the public
are decidedly not wanted.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The Monday Evening Club Is to be
congratulated on its efforts to obtain
a new municipal lodging house The
present institution is hampered by lack
of rooms and funds. Owing to the un-
usual demands made OH 1t this winter
the management was unable this year
to provide a Christmas dinner for the
unfortunates who sought shelter be-
meath its roof.
The need Of new and larger quarters
Ia apparent and 1t Is to be hoped that
the Commissioners will see fit to fol-
low the recommendations of the Mon
day Evening Club to provide them: The
municipal lodging house offers aid to
those in need Of relief and such an
institution should have the encourage
ment OF every charitable organization
in the District. The citizens associa-
tions would do we'll also by aiding the
Monday Evening Club in its efforts to
obtain suitable quarters for the hun.
dreds who apply at the municipal
lodging house for temporary refuge.

REAL STORM FORECAST.
ING

A recent explorer in the Antarctic
region declares that he has been in
the part of the world where the
storms of the southern hemisphere
are incubated. In the far south he
was in the region of terrific winds,
and his studies of them and of other
weather phenomena, together with
facts which he afterward learned
about the appearance of storms in
more northerly regions, convinced
him that if he had had a wireless
outfit he could have given Australia,
for example, warning of great
storms forty-eight hours in advance.
The explorers Of our north polar
regions have likewise contributed
important meteorologic data, from
which it is possible to predict the
great expansion of weather knowl-
edge and lensthening of the forecast
period. The wider the basis of OBJ
servation data, the better the fore
cast to be made from it. Weather is
still phenomenon concerning which
comparatively little is known; but
the study of it has gone far enough
to make altogether probable that the
future, not very far ahead, will see
some central intelligence receive
daily reports from all over the conti-
nents and oceans of hemisphere
from which to prepare much more
efficient and reliable forecasts than
have yet been possible.
