MasurIan Lakes.

The Masurian lake region lies In
Masurenland, a gently rolling region
Of East Prussia marked by hundreds
Of lakes Of various sizes connected by
channels and a canal system more
than 100 miles long. Roughly, the
area Of the district is covered by the
circles Of Sensburg, Oletzka, Osterode,
Allenstein, Roessel, Ortelsburg, Lyck
(capitaD, Loetzen and Neidenburg.
The lakes are of different shapes,
some being rounded and others basins,
with numerous radiating branches !;
others are long, narrow channels wild
ening into pools at intervals like beads
on a string. The largest, Mauer and
Spirding, cover 40 square miles. The
lakes form q very effective barrier for
Germany against Russia, as was evil
denced several times during the early
part of the war, when the Russian
armies were trapped there or forced
to retreat. This bore out the wise OPP
position Of Won Hindenburg and 9TH
ers against draining the lakes, prof.
ect considered by the German govern
ment several years ago.-Philadelphia

Fire Prevention Education.

Fire prevention in public schools
and fire prevention in homes are mat
tiers naturally of keen interest. In the
first case the question is largely one
of proper legislation regarding the con-
structiOn and protection of school
buildings; in the second case it is
largely q matter Of individual educa-
ton. 1t IS estimated that 90 per cent
of fires occur in homes, though Of
course 60 per cent of the fire loss does
not result therefrom.
Perhaps it is education which must
be relied upon to furnish the chief
weapon in the fight for fire proven
ton. Legislation is important; so is
inspection of the construction and con-
ditiOn of buildings so that legislation
may be backed up. But, speaking
broadly, the cooperation Of the indi-
vidual. due 10 his enlightened self
interest" is probably the essential fac
tor In fire prevention as it is in the
other activities of the Safety First fed

FARM LOAN ACT.

1t has always been recognized that

Some critics Of the federal orm loan
net have charged that this act makes
II too easy for farmers to get into
debt, and that there will be tendency
to overbOrrow.
A careful reading of the bill will
show that this objection is met by very
carefully limiting the use To which the
borrowed money may be put and by
The requirement that farmers gradual
~ each year must reduce their in
dehtCGncSS.
The farm loan act was designed to
be helpful to the farmer of average
operations who has heretofore been
denied adequate credit. 1t wisely lin
its the loans TO 80 per cent Of the
appraised value of the security, be-
cause this limitation makes the Sc
Curity of high character. thus salts
flying the investor, and therefore re-
suits in lower rate of interest.
The use of the money is carefully
limited 10 the purchase of land, 10 pay
