By the Governor

The general observation of Fire Prevention Day in
1918 is urgent than ever before for fire causes

age as we'll cotton, lumber and large variety of
other supplies.
Fire cripples productive industry engaged upon
war orders to far greater than is generally
supposed.
The nations annual fire loss Of approximately
S25OOOOOoO nearly equivalent to the interest upon
S6OOOO0OOOO worth of Liberty Bonds 1t thus i'm
pairs Americas financial resources at time when war
conditions call for the retrenchment and thrift
While thus causing vast impairment in Americas
fighting efficiency fire loss is in the main, unnecessary
Through the adoption of proper preventative measures
and particularly through the cultivation OF habits OF
carefulness it could be greatly decreased
Believing, therefore that fire prevention becomes
patriotic duty of every citizen hereby proclaim
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1st
Fire Prevention Day,
and earnestly recommend that the observance be given
Greater effectiveness by the cooperation of the news

school systems and that the definite objective be to
make November lst, 1918, mo fire" day.
In testimony whereof have hereunto my hand, and

HAPPY IN DOUBLE TASKS

The circus parade had just passed
and the reporter, commenting on the
busy life led by the people of the "ibg
top" had used the phrase, doubling
in brass"
"'Doublng in brass'-your remark
reminds me of woman who waited
on me yesterday" said an acquaintance
standing beside him. How would you
like to hold down, at one and the same
time. two such full-sized jobs as re-
tail clerk and trained nurse in charge
of an almost helpless invalid? Well,
this woman does it. and without. APP
parently, turning a hair. l wonder
how lots of Washington people who
complain of being so terribly busy
these wartime days would like to
trade places with her"
On the Job Every Minute.
When asked for further explanation
he told the following story: There is
in retail store here woman clerk
whose work is not finished until s
pm, and she is on the job every
minute. That sounds like a pretty
complete utilization of a day, extra
hour of daylight and all. She has a
bedridden mother and takes entire care
of her also. She might get some one
else to do it, but the mother wouldn't
like it SO well. the daughter herself
wouldn't like it so well. and it would
be expensive.
BY the time she is ready to leave her
apartment for her place of employment
the daughter. has her mother all fixed
for the day. bathed, bed freshened up.
breakfast eaten and all the little things
done which. to an invalid. are SO i'm
portant and so essential. The daugh-
ter prepares and cooks the meals her
self. She places within reach every
single thing the invalid may possibly
want or desire. including dainty
leaves the apartment door open and
departs. not to reappear until about
$50 o'clock.
Neighbors Drop In.
Neighbors and friends in the apart
ment house drop in from time
to time to see If there is any
thing they can do. There sell
dom is anything except to stay and
visit awhile, which they dearly love to
do. for the occupant of. the big bed is
the soul of cheerfulness. With the open
door the mother could. if necessary,
make herself heard by some passer in
the hall. SO far she has never had to:
Knowing Of the frequent kindly and
interested visitors. the daughter doesn't
stop at neatness and cleanliness. but
makes the old lady as pretty as a pic
ture. with ribbon-decked cap, pei
gnoir, and bedstead. The ribbons and
linens always are selected with view
to a definite color scheme. One week it
will be pink. another lavender, etc.
After her return from a days hard
work she. the clerk, cooks supper and
makes her mother comfortable for the
night, never failing in all the little at
tentions that shut-ins prize SO highly.
In other words, although she doesn't
keep to the same hourly schedule, she
about what skilled
trained nurse would in the course of a
day: is the bread winner for the COM
bination, and claims she is herself as
happy as is her mother.
Perhaps the reader would think twice
before exchanging places with this
wouldn't think for minute of chang
ing places with the reader, SO there
you are.

HOOVER BLOCKS RAISE
IN THE PRICE Of BREAD

There is no justification for any
advance in bread prices"
This declaration, made by the United
States Food Administration. is support
ed by a statement that any effort by
bakers to justify advance because of
the higher cost Of materials is not
supported by the facts. The statement
says that the prices of wheat substi-
tutes generally are likely to decline
still further, and that corn meal is
lower than wheat -four. while oats and
barley are the same or cheaper than
wheat.
The situation that the statement
combats is not local to Washing
ton. The food administration points
out that bakers in several cities have
threatened the consumer with a raise
on the ground that wheat substitutes
which they are required to mix with
wheat flour to the extent of 10 per
cent are more expensive. The prices
of substitutes are under regulation.
Bakers of Washington who contem-
plate an advance in the price of bread,
represented by delegation. talked
over the situation with Clarence X.
Wilson. the District Of Columbia food
administrator, yesterday. Administrator
Wilson is known to be opposed to any
advance. The result Of the conference
was not announced.
