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 n
of proper legislation regarding the con-
structioA and protection of school
buildings; in the second case it Is
largely a matter of individual educa-
ton. It is estimated that 60 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 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 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
eration.-Baltimore News.

TO Clean Silver.
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS TELL OF
BEST METHODS.
Directions for Preparing a Cleansing
Material That Has Much Virtue
Must Be Applied With Care
{ and Thoroughness.

For the benefit Of those who have
the care of silver, the office of home
economics at Washington has made
a thorough study of the electrolytic
method of cleaning and has published
the results of their work in United
States Department Of Agriculture Bull
letin No. 449.
After discussing several types OF
commercial cleaners and giving the re-
suits of various analyses, they suggest
the following method as being cheap
and satisfactory:
IAN enamel or agateware dish
should be partly filed with q cleaning
solution Of one t~easpoonful Of either
washing or baking soda and one tea
spoonful of common table salt to each
quart of water and placed directly
on the stove to boil. A sheet Of alumni
mum or clean zinc should then be
dropped into the dish and furnished
silver placed in contact with the metal.
It is best that the silver be entirely
covered with the cleaning solution and
that the solution remain at the boiling
temperature. AS soon as the tarnish
has been removed the silver should be
removed, rinsed In clean water, and
wiped with q soft cloth. Zinc may be
used in place Of aluminium, but it be-
comes corroded and inactive in a much
shorter time"
The e~lectrolytic method cleans plated
or sterling silverware without loss OF
metal, giving, however, a satin finish
rather than e FURNISHED appearance,
and has the additional advantages of
being both clean and labor-saving.-

LEARNING TO KNOW FLOWERS
information That Would Be of I'm.
men Value to the Man Who Is
Planning a Home.

The home-maker, with facilities at
hand, could choose wisely what to
plant in his own home grounds. Lee
lures, instructive and helpful though
they are, can hardly accomplish for
the amateur planter in the course of
half q year what a single visit to a
shrubbery or q 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 q score
or, more of available ~viburnums; 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
"mock orange" can be had in dwarf
bush that is q mere pygmy beside its
robust cousin-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 net only the common varie-
ties, but the uncommon as well, 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 we'll to consider.

ANN JOINS LIBERTY BOND COM
MITTEE IN URGING PEOPLE + SOUTH

calculated that the money paid for q
fifty dollar bond, the smallest deno1n-
ination that can be secured. will
equip one soldier for the front; or it
will buy sixteen shelter tents, accom-
modating thirty-two men; or buy eight
pair of army blankets; or provide a
thousand rounds Of ammunition; or
furnish three standard rifles. The
sum Of $500 will keep a soldier at the
front for a year.
1t Is believed that when a man real
ICES that his money is put to very
definite use in fighting the battles Of
the country he will be much more
willing to put up the ready cash.
And further than that, every man
should realize that he is not making
a donation of fifty or a hundred dol
lars when he buys a bond. For he
gets in return a government certi-
fcate that is much better than the
five dollar bill that he has in his
pocket. He can keep the five dollars
for ten years and be none the richer;
but If he keeps a Liberty Bond for ten
years, 1t is working all the time, and
bringing in more money for him.
And at any time that q man wants
to secure ready money for the bond,
all he has to do is to take 1t to any
bond broker, who will buy It outright,
or to a bank and secure a loan equal
to the face value Of the bond without Q
moments delay. By special ruling Of
the treasury department recently, any
bank can negotiate q paper that has
Liberty Loans for collateral, through
the Reserve Bank, whether the bank
Is a member Of the reserve system or
not.
Millions Of government money are
being brought into the state of South
Carolina because Of the war. The
farmers are getting the benefit Of 1t
and the cities are also getting the ben
eft of it. 1t will be gross ingratitude
If the citizens Of the state are not
willing to subscribe their part towards
the loan which makes these expendi-
lures possible.
1t will be impossible to buy q bond
from the government out Of the FIRST
Of the present bond issue after Friday.
All who wish to invest must do so in
mediately 80 that the local bank may
get the application through without
a moments delay.

Columbia, 8. C.-(Special)-June Is
Is the last day upon which Liberty
Loan bonds can be purchased; and be-
tween now and that day, it will he
necessary for the state of South Caro-
lima to finish raising her allotment,
which now is ten millions Of dollars.
In the great drive that was insti-
tuted on registration day, June 8,
about twenty-five per cent Of this
amount was subscribed; but there
still remains a remnant to be taken in
spite Of the very vigorous work which
has been going on since that day in
every part of the state.
People In the cities, towns and coun-
try districts are realizing more and
more the great responsibility that
rests upon our people to take up all
the bonds that have been assigned us;
and in the closing days Of the cam
paign, there has been a series of short
and powerful drives instituted that
will very probably result in the de-
sired total.
In every section, there have been
speakers provided for every kind Of
occasion. At the cotton mills and 9th
or industrial plants, the operators are
being addressed at the noon hour;
speeches are being made in the pic
ture shows between films; and wher-
ever q crowd Is gathered, a speaker
is be 'ng provided to carry on the task
of Liberty Bond education.
The women of the state have taken
hold OF the idea with great enthusiasm.
They have been quicker to see the
possibilities for saving and for thrift
than the men in many instances; and
now the slogan, "a bond in every
home" and its running mate, BUY a
bond for baby" may be heard on every
side wherever women are gathered.
Mrs. Richard I. Manning. the first
lady of the state. has been giving
much Of her time and efforts toward
the sale Of the bonds in the capital re-
Gently. In connection with her work
in the Woman's League for National
Denfense, she has directed her forces
to do all in their power to carry the
idea Of the bonds into the homes and
inserest the women in the movement.
Her committee on registration day
manned the registration booths and
did missionary work on every hand
among those who registered and those
who looked on.

Here are two Delmonico potato
recipes: Pare potatoes and cut them
into bits the size of q pea. Keep them
in cold water until all are ready. For
each scant pint of. potatoes make a

onion juice or celery salt. Stir the po-
tatoes into the hot sauce, turn into a

in the oven until the potatoes are ten
der and the sauce is absorbed, with
the exception Of just enough to hold
the bits of potatoes together. Fold one
part over the other as an omelet and
turn onto a hot dish. The potatoes
should not brown above or below. If
necessary, set them on the CRATE and

SOME FACTS ABOUT AFRICA
Every Eighth Person of the Popula-
ton of the World Lives in the
Dark Continent

Nearly one-fourth Of the earth's
land surface is comprised within the
continent Of Africa. 1t Is as far around
the coast of Africa as it is around the
world. Every eighth person of the
worlds population lives in the Dark
Continent. The blacks double their
number every 40 years and the whites
every so years. There are S43 Ian
guages and dialects in use among the
blacks of Africa. Only a few OF the
languages have been reduced to writ
ing. T%hirty-hve years ago the export
of cocoa from the Gold Coast amount
ed to $50. Today is is over $S,OOO,OO0.
The coal fields Of Africa aggregate
100000 square miles; its copper fields
equal those Of North America and Eu-
rope combined, and it has undeveloped
IRON ore amounting to five times that
Of North America. Africa has 4O,OUO
miles of river and lake navigation, and
water powers aggregating 80 times
those Of Niagara Falls.
IF Africa had the same proportion
of railroad mileage as the United
States according to Its size, it would
have a million miles Of track instead
Of the $4,000 miles now in operation.
One area in Africa u%noccupied by mis-
sionaries Is three times the size OF
New England, a second would make
four states like New York, q third
would cover eight Iowas, and a fourth
Is IS times the size Of Ohio. Through
out Africa there is one missionary fop
every $4,000 souls.
Almost the entire continent Is now
under European flags. France has e
colony In Africa 20 times the size of
France itself. The British flag flies
over a territory as large as the United
States, and extends almost without in
terruption from the Cape to Cairo, a
distance Of 5000 miles.-World Out

Owning Home Gives Sense of Security

Ownership, like faith, affords a sense
Of se~curity-and the whole concep-
ton of home is based on q feeling Of
security. You can close the door ana
the world is shut out. You can go
away from it, and it will be there
when you come back.
Now the tenant, the man who lives
in other peoples houses, q never be
sure that it 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
he comes back. And he sets forth on
an eternal quest after an elusive, VI
sionary something whose absence
makes this present dwelling a whited

Need Not Endanqer Sewers.

Complaints are heard Of tree roots
entering sewers, but if the joints are
perfect no such thing is possible. Roots
are attracted only by soil moisture and
cannot partake Of food through any
other medium. Therefore no moisture,
no roots. Concrete is never water
proof, but may be made so by asphalt
and other coverings. If so treated and
a good Sob is done, no tree roots will
ever enter q sewer through a joint in
the pipe.
