Safety First for Christmas.

From the standpoint of safety to
life and property there is as much need
for safe and sane Christmas as for a
safe and sane Fourth of July The or
binary Christmas tree, rapidly growing
dry in warm rooms, filed with open
candles, covered with cotton snow and
paper decorations, surrounded by ex-
cited children, easily tipped over and
usually near curtains or other infam-
mables, introduces fire hazard into
the home as dangerous and criminallv
careless as was the old-time saturnalia
of death and obstruction on the
Fourth of July.
Christmas is peculiarly the children s
festival, but the safety as well as the
happiness of the children and of the
home should be considered. Too often
the holiday rejoicing has been turned
into time of mourning by Christmas
tree fires. The danger of such acct
dents can be greatly reduced by exer-
cising reasonable precautions. The
following recommendations are agreed
upon by the fire prevention authorities.
Use electric lights, if possible, or
enclosed rather than open candles. If
open candles are used, place the tree
where it is not exposd to drafts, and
provid a solid bass we'll braced Use
asbestos snow, instead of cotton, and
non-infammable tree ornaments, bar
paper festoons and bells and celluloid
ornaments, as the latter ignite easily,
even from contact with an electric
light.
The paternal Santa Claus needs pro
lection as well as the children, and
father should be warned not to wear
cotton whiskers and hair, but be
equipped with asbestos or flame
PROCEED decorations.

After the War

Those partially exhausted and i'm
poverished nations have been learning
strenuous lessons in their life and
death struggle, and they will apply
them more or less in peace. They will
devote all the energy and means. they
have to rebuilding their industries and
recovering their trade. For a good
while their profits may be restricted
and their accessions of capital may be
slow. They will not be able to com
mand high prices ofsSpay high wages,
and they will not be able to buy
largely in foreign markets for some
time; but there will be no surrender of
their competitive efforts, and patriot
ism and national pride will take new
turn in the struggle for recovery.
What will be the effect upon the United
States? 1t is not safe to prophesy, but
1t is safe to say that high wages and
high prices will have to give way, if
we are to continue to sell on any con-
siderable scale in foreign markets, and
we surely cannot do so without receiv-
ing our pay gradually in goods pro
duced there with relatively low wages
and prices We may find that we shall
have less to do for other countries in
stead of more and shall have to do for
ourselves at less cost and less profit.
Stored up capital and a labor force re-
leased from special industries will not
solve the problem and the problem will
not solve itself, There will probably
be process of readjustment which
will try mems soul s on both sides of
the Atlantic.-N. Y. Journal of Com

Secure and Sound. =

Ism t it strange that man truly
great in some ways will make absurd
statements for political effect? On the
eve of election, President Wilson said:
8Our country is prosperous, secure
and happy, and its prosperity is upon
a sound basis.
Securel = Only few months ago
President Wilson made tour of the
middle west making speeches for
preparedness, asserting that he knew
not what a day or an hour would bring
forth, and urging a preparedness that
out-did all previous demands for an
increase in the strength of our army
and navy. Since that time we have
made some naval authorizations, but
not single contract has been let for a
new battleship. In the last thirteen
months we have added only twelve
thousand to our army, which is still
thirty-four thousand below authorized
strength. Why are we more secure
today than six months agos
Prosperity on a sound basis! -
Both the Federal Reserve Board and
the Federal Trade Commission are try
ing to devise means by which we can
protect our industrial interets at the
close of the war. Does a prosperity
that is on sound basis require such
governmental concern as this9
But the President spoke before cleo
ton. In a few days we shall see him
out with an alarmist- speech warning
the American people of the industrial
disaster that confronts them, and as
sorting that he knows not what a day
or an hour may bring forth.
