Washington, Nov. 26.-Informa-
ton has reached the food admins
traitor that persons in different
parts of the country are representing
themselves to housewives as govern
ment agents empowered to comman-
deer foodstuffs. Food Administra-
tor Hoover, denouncing them as i'm
posters, has issued this statement:
I'VE have reports from various
parts of the country of crooks
thieves and confidence operators
who are going from house to house
purporting to be authorized by the
food administration and other de-
partments of the government to
collect or commander foodstuffs
for the government or the army.
Il wish to say emphatically that
no department of the government
has or will ever make such demands
on householders, and that all such
people are petty frauds and should
be held for the police. The govern
ment agencies are investigating va
rious cases and information is sought
of all such persons by this depart
ment."

MRS. SANGER READY FOR TRIAL.

New York, Jan. 29--(By Union AS
sociated Press)-Mrs. Margaret San
ger, leader of the birth control advo-
Gates, is ready for her trial, set for
today, and promises to make it inter-
esting for those who are opposing
her. Among the witnesses Mrs. Sam
ger is relying upon to help her are
about thirty women who told her that
their husbands were making such
small wages that they could not af-
ford to have children. The bureau of
information of the international Child
Welfare League has gathered the
opinions Of women whom, it is claim
ed Mrs. Sanger gave birth control
information. Mrs. Sanger's sister,
Mrs. Byrne, who helped her at her
clinic, was sentenced to q jail term
last week and Immediately announced
her intention Of starting q food strike.

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-
s%truction and protection of school
buildings; in the second case it is
largely a matter of individual educa-
ton. It is estimated that GO per cent
of fires occur in homes. though Of
course 60 per cent Of the fire loss does
not result therefrOm.
Perhaps 1t is education which must
be relied upon to furnish the chief
weapon in the fight for fire preven-
ton. Legislation is important so is
inspection of the construction and con-
diti0n Of buildings SO that legislation
may be backed up. But, speaking
broadly. the cooperation Of the indi.
vidual, due to 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

Owning Home Gives Sense Of Security

Ownership, like faith, affords a sense
Of security-and the whole concep-
ton Of home Is based on a feeling Of
security. You can close the door and
the world is shut out. You can 60
/. away from 1t, and 1t will be there
when you come back.
h.. Now the tenant, the man who lives
IN, other peoples houses. can never be
sure that 1t will be there when he
comes back. In fact, that is one Of the
reasons why he lives in another mans
house-he doesn't want It there when
be comes back. And he sets forth on
an eternal quest after an elusive, VI.
slonary something whose absence
makes this present dwelling a whited
Sepulcher.

lures, instructive and helpful though
they are, a hardly accomplish for
the amateur planter in the course of
half a year what a single visit to a
shrubbery or a perennial garden would
accomplish for him In. half an hour.
And, in addition, as everyone knows,
the parks themselves would be all the
more interesting and delightful for
these garden sections.
The average person knows few
shrubs and few flowers. To tell one
OF these that the SNOWFALL with which
he is familiar is. only one Of a, score
or more Of available %vfburnums: that
the shrub he knows as a 'lilac" can
be had In numerous varieties, some
growing even into tree form, or that
what he calls the "syringa" or the
smock orange" can be had In dwarf
bush that is a mere pygmy beside its
robust c0usin-tO recount facts Of this
sort is to surprise him. Yet it is i'm
portant that facts of this sort be
brought before him. There is too
much uniformity in the planting Of
city yards-tOO much use made Of
the same material. Public gardens,
exhibiting not only the common varie-
ties, but the uncommon as we'll, those
not so often met with but despite that,
quite as beautiful as the others, would
serve to overcome the tendency toward
monotony already only too apparent.
There are many purposes, as a mat
ter Of fact, that these gardens would
serve, all Of which the park board
might do well to consider.
