Fire Prevention Day.

Present plans indicate that Washing
ton will next Monday observe Fire Pre-
vention day in manner to arouse the
people of the District thoroughly to the
Importance of greater carefulness in the
management of domestic and business
premises in precaution against fire. Much
work in this line can be done through
the children, and features Of the pro-
gram for the day include brief exercises
in the schools, with fire drills and per-
haps Distinguishing demonstrations.
together with neighborhood parades of
the fire apparatus in the region of the
different school buildings. Among the
adults much can be done toward fire
prevention by emphasizing the impor
lance of systematic inspection of prem
ises and examination of fire extinguish
ers The mechanical devices for the
quick quenching of fires at the start
should be periodically overhauled to
make sure of their readiness for service
In the business district the majority of
fires start in easements and cellars, the
frequent inspection of which is desir-
able as a means of detecting dangerous
conditions.
Most fires are the result Of negligence
and carelessness. Indeed, it is an axiom
that practically all 6res are preventable.
They should not be regarded as an in
evitable visitation. Washington is so situ-
ated as to bring the fire loss to very
low minimum 1t has every facility for
fighting fires when they develop, and
few conditions prevail favorable to the
rapid spread of fires when they occur
BY systematic inspection of all prem
Uses at least once year and by the in
culcation of the principles of fire pre-
vention among the people of all classes
and ages it is possible to bring the losses
even below the present point. This is
to the interest of everybody, as with a
reduction in the fire losses should nat
urally come reduction in the insur-
ance rates in proportion.

and about machinery is coming more to
be employed. The government of the
United States in its own plants should be
leader in this important work and fur
hish an example for private industrial
concerns. The naval surgeon who made
the recent investigation recommends
that the use of protective goggles be
made compulsory for all employees en-
gagged in work which exposes the eye
to injury from flying particles; that
particular attention be given to the
shops that show high percentage Of
injuries; and that exposed shafts, belts,
pulleys, fy-wheels, gears, circular and
band saws, and emery wheels be pro-
vided with guards wherever practicable.
These recommendations appear to be
sane and practicable, and will, without
doubt, receive the consideration they de-
serve.

Clans.

The clam has long stood as a symbol
of secretiveness. To be as silent as a
clam is to be the extreme of reticence.
Just why the clam should gain this
reputation rather than its cousin the
oyster is not known, and yet the 0ys-
ter has comparatively frank and open
disposition Its habits are well known,
and it is not rated as a mystery. Now
the inquisitive eye of government is
fastened on the clam. Suspicion has
been aroused that the bivalve is not
altogether orthodox in its diet, and that
it is not fully dependable as an arti-
Gle of food. Medical records point to
many a ease of distress due to indis-
cretions in clam eating, and so an eff
fort is now to be made to find out some
thing about the clam, its habits, its
tastes and the reasons, if possible, why
it turns upon its consumers occasionally
and rends them with pains. Thus it
may be that the secret life Of the clam
will be laid bare, and the mollusk will
no longer stand as the model Of secrecy.
Hygiene may gain in knowledge at the
cost of the CLAIMS repute as creature
of mystery.

Roosevelt as Bugaboo.

Always interesting, Mr. Roosevelt has
never been more interesting than right
now.
Before the Chicago convention many
democrats coddled him in way: spoke
and wrote of him in admirng terms
They described his versatility; lauded
his patriotism; wished all good luck to
the red American blood in his veins
They wanted him nominated by the re-
publieans. They thought he would be
an "easy thing" for them But the re-
publicans insisted on making their own
choice.
When Mr.. Hughes was put up these
men increased their praise of Mr.. Roose-
welt. They deplored the ingratitude of
the republicans, and predicted that Mr.
Roosevelt could never be brought to the
support of a man whose triumph over
him had been brought about by the very
men who had defeated him for the nomi-
nation in 1912. But Mr. Roosevelt de-
clared for Hughes, helped carry Maine
for him, and is on the eve of starting
on stamping tour which will cover a
vide portion Of territory admittedly de-
batable.
For their uses in that territory these
former admirers of Mr. Roosevelt have
now converted him into bugaboo, and
are giving him in that character full
advertisement. Look out, good people!
A dangerous man. Has come to be the
sole reliance of the Hughes candidacy
Will dominate the administration if
Hughes wins. The voice may be the
voice of Hughes. but the hand will be
the hand of Teddy
Consider him as at the head of the
cabinet. What could keep us out of
embodiment with Mexico, with Europe,
or with Japans How snugly chip
would fit on his shoulder! How certain
he would be to put one therel How
Justify he would call attention to its
presence there!
Or consider him as at the head of the
War Department. What could prevent
him from turning the country into an
armed camps How strongly he would
appeal to all young men and college
boys! How attractive he would make
army life appear! What pressure he
would bring to bear on Congress to Sc
cure the means for developing militarism
to the top notch!
Or consider him as at the head \of
the Navy Department. What floating
establishment we should soon have! And
how certain he would be to show it in
every one of the seven seas!
II is clever play But the game
may be overplayed in some of the ter
ritory Mr. Roosevelt is soon to cover
His slambangedness is part of his power
in the near west and the southwest, and,
instead of a warning it may be made

Safety Devices at Navy Yard.

The statistics of injuries to workmen
at the Washington navy yard lately
compiled by Past Assistant Surgeon W.
A. Bloedorn of the navy bring out many
facts and features of general interest.
The figures cover a period of two
years, beginning January ], 1914, and
with an average number Of 5000 men
employed, 2,17s reported one or more
injuries. A total of All injuries was
sustained and of these injuries 1888
were received by 1873 men. The figures
seem large and the number of injuries
sustained by a comparatively small
number of the workmen seems signiA-
cant.
The propaganda of safety first" is be-
ing spread among workers in industrial
plants, and the adoption of guards and
other safety devices in tho use Of tools

be called to this He has been giving

bench by politicians seeking candidate

politicians were active, and what judge

There is nothing new or alarming in
such proceedings. We transfer poll

1t was the President who saved his
party from very foolish performance

veterans in politics by comparison with
himself that Judge Hughes
would prove a strong candidate. and

Again the bench supplies candidate

equivalent to election.

A Ferry to the Park.

The plan to establish a ferry across
the Washington channel or harbor to
give access to the lower section of Po-
tomac Park is admirable. and should be
carried through without fail With the
completion of the recreation grounds in
the new section of the park thousands
of people will wish to reach it who have
NO direct means of transportation The
street cars at present run only to the
bridge, whereas the athletic fields will
be located at some distance below that
point. The ferry service will give a
more direct approach to the public play
grounds, and if maintained at a rea-
sonable rate of fare, if in private hands,
will be Of great public convenience. The
present purpose Is TO keep the service
strictly under government control and
auspices, even though the actual ferry
may be privately maintained. This is
important TO assure adequate facilities
and the proper safeguarding of the public
in operation. 1t is also important that
every precaution be taken against ac-
eidents. In the event Of great numbers
visiting the park on special occasions
of athletic games there will be some
danger of overcrowding. Ultimately it
may be desirable to lay car tracks to
the athletic fields for use at times Of
widening of the opening under the rail
way line. which at present is none too
broad for the safe accommodation of
heavy road traffic.

under the Sherman law, were pictured
by government counsel, in summing
up the testimony before the jury, as
men who had regarded the law as a
"trifie'' when It stood in the way OF
their alleged design to monopolize the
transportation traffic Of New Eng

Attorneys Swacker. Stevenson and
Osborne took turns in their denuncia-

Mr.. Osborne pictured the late j. p

alleged plan to dominate the traffic OF
New England. He compared the New
Haven to the Northern Securities Co.,
the holding company for the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern RAILWAYS
which was dissolved by decree of the

MEMORIAL AT
GRAND CANYON

Washington, Jan. 4-Announcement
is made today that the department of
the interior has completed, on the rim
of the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, a
memorial to Maj. John Weslay Powell,
the intrepid pioneer and celebrated
scientist who first explored the Grand
Canyon. The memorial is an altar dec
grated in Indian imagery and support
ing a bronze tablet, resting upon a
pyramdai base of rough-hewn stone.
Fifteen steps lead from the west up to
the altar floor, from which one may
gaze into the very heart of the glow
ing mile-deep canyon It is a struc-
ture worthy alike of the rugged, force
full personality of the man and of the
titanic chasm which it overlooks.
The spot chosen for the memorial is
Sentinel Point, a promontory south Of
the railway station, which commands
a particularly fine view of the Granite
Gorge and of the river, whose un-
known terrors of whirlpool and catar-
act the Powell party braved in small
open boats. The structure, which is
built of weathered limestone from the
.neighborhood, has a rectangular base
q by 2S feet The altar carries on it's
east side medallion portrait of Ma
jor Powell in bronze bas-relief by
Leila Usher and the following inscrip-
ton:
United States to Maj. John Wesley
Powell, first explorer OF the Grand
Canyon, who descended the river with
his party in rowboats, traversing the
gorge beneath this point Aug. II, 1859,
and again Sept. /, 1872"
