partial shading may be necessary.
For head lettuce, Big Boston, Han
son and California Cream butter are
good varieties. The loose-leaf lettuce,
Grand Rapids or black seeded Simp-
son are recommended.
Radishes are so hardy that they
may be grown through the winter in
cold frames in the latitude Of WASH
ington. and farther south in the open
ground. In the north they require hot
beds, but can be soWn in the open
ground as soon as the soil is. moder-
ately warm. They should be planted
in drills IL to Is inches apart and
thinned slightly as soon as the plants
are up. On a quick, rich soil some of
the earlier parieties can be matured
in from 3 to weeks after planting.
II the plants are allowed to remain
long in the open ground, the roots
lose their crispness and delicate
flavor. and, in order to secure a con-
slant supply, successive paintings
should be made every two weeks. One
ounce of radish seed is sufficient to
plant 100 feet of rows. A large per-
centage of the seed terminates and
if the sowing is done carefully, later
thinning may be unnecessary. The first
radishes to appear may be pulled as
soon as they are of sufficient size, and
this will leave enough room for those
that are, little later. The plant is
not suited to hot weather, but should
be planted in the early spring and late
autumn.

Meat supplies are directly affected
by the large number of livestock
burned by fires in barns and stables,
and also by the many fires in packing
houses, slaughter houses, etc.
The same condition holds true with
other staples than those of food. In
two, years there were reported 822
fires in wool and cotton mills. Cot
ton is a commodity which is partic-
ularly subject to disastrous fires. This
also applies in marked degree to the
refining, storing and handling Of OIL
one OF our commonest daily require
ments.
The supply of wood enters into
many phases of our living necessities.
In New York state alone 100000 peo-
pie are employed in turning out an
annual product of nearly $500, 600, 900
in wood manufactures. Striking at the
basis OF this great industry, hundreds
of hHman lives, and millions of dollars
worth of property are destroyed each
year by forest fires, which might be
prevented with proper care. The Ma
tional Forest service, in one year,
discovered 1,126 forest fires to have
been caused by campers; LILO by To-
connective sparks, and 470 by incendi-
aries. The burning of saw mills,
lumber yards, furniture and, wooden
ware factories and stores is too fire.
quent to call for special comment
Similar surveys might be made in
other fields of staples included in the
cost of living. -.s
Back of all this loom the larger
aspects of the situation. With an av-
erage Of more than one reported fire
for every minute Of the year, and a
daily destruction approximating $780,
600, the United States Is subject to an
economic drain that affects every de-
tail Of its business and social life, and
is a large, though unrecognized factor
in the cost of all commodities. Fur
thermore, it cannot be overlooked
that a vast number of people are in
terrupted in employment and hence in
earning power, from the same cause.
It is at least an interesting scoinci-
dence that the historic panic of. 1873
followed the. Chicago conflagFation of
1871, and that Of Boston in 1872, while
the more recent panic of 1907 occurred
in the year succeeding San Francisco's
great fire.
If America were to reduce her fire
losses to the fractional figure of most
other countries it can hardly be
doubted that the cost Of living would
be materially lowered. It must never
be forgotten that 21.4' per cent of this
annual bonfire is due to strictly pre-
ventable causes, 37.9 per cent to those
which are partly preventable, and that
the remaining 40.7 per cent from "un-
known" causes is probably largely
preventable.

Few people realize how directly the
much discussed High Cost of Living
is influenced by Americas excessive
fire waste. A recent nationwide anal
ysis of fires and fire causes has
shown enormous destruction Of COM
mon staples. Single fires in elevators
and mills frequently consume the
equivalent of living for small army
OF people. For example, a recent blaze
in an Illinois elevator rendered 700;-
600 bushels OF corn unfit for human
food, and also destroyed 100000 bush
els of oats.
Grain elevators, -four, cereal, grist
and feed mills present well known
elements Of fire hazard in that they
are subject to explosions of the high
ly explosive dust that results from
handling or milling grain. These dis
asters also cost many lives; a dust
explosion in Buffalo mill in 1918. re-
suited in over thirty fatalities. A
short time ago the United States de-
partment of agriculture made a study
of the frequent explosions in grain
separators in the Big Bend country
of the northwest, and found that in
the height of the season these reached
from six to ten a day, the flame from
such an explosion in a large number
of cases spreading into the surround
ing grain with destructive results.
Individual barn fires add enormously
to this total. Throughout most of the
country the season of thunder storms
follows closely upon that of harvest,
and thousands of barns, stored with
potential food go up in flames each
year because of lightning. These fires
must be classed as largely preventable,
since statistics compiled by the Ac-
tuarial bureau of the National board
of fire underwriters show that of the
total fire loss from lightning, more
than 80 per cent is found where light
ming rods are not used. .--". ..
The spontaneous combustion Of hay
and grain in poorly ventilated barns
is another big factor which might
largely be prevented by proper pre-
cautions. 81 *-- ,~ .--.
When to such items are added the
fires in grain fields from locomotive
sparks, and from the matches of care
less smokers, it may be realized that a
vast amount of foodstuff is turned into
clouds of smoke, instead of human
bone and muscle. This inevitably has
its effect upon the price Of the remain
der.
Most people depend upon groceries
for their food and the average gro
Gerry, containing, as it does, stocks of
kerosese, and other infammable mer-
chandise, is a special instance Of fire
hazard. This is shown by the great
number that are consumed during
each year, and each grocery fire sub
tracts a definite quantity Of staples
from the national supply. "
