STOP BURNING. HOMES
 SAYS CHIEF STANTON

An insurance publication gives some advice on, the subject of protecting homes from fire, which is endorsed by fire chief Howrad L. Stanton and is published herewith as valuable suR- gestion for Norwich house owners:
 The housing problem is one of the great issues of the day. All unneces-
 sary construction was forbidden dur- ing the war and now that the restric- tions have been withdrawn the high prices of materials and labor and in dustrial troubles have tended to re- duce the amount of building. In ! many industrial centers newcomers
 are unable to get houses to live in, rents have gone up, and the situation has become so serious that state and
 municipal commissions are seeking a solution.
 Why not stop burning up the exiat- l ing buildings if there are not enough
 to go around and more cannot be l built each month, most of them through carelessness. If housing is so important, if homes are so hard to lind, why not be careful with those l that we have Apply fire preyen- l tion methods. Be careful about mat l ches, smoking, lighting and heating l apparatus and gasolene. Clear out the rubbish, inspect the fiues, watch the shingle roofs.

Our Billion Dollar SIX Bill.

The people of the United States are buying silk manufacturers at the rate of over a billion dollars a year. New
 CT in the history of our silk industry
 have the manufa acturers been compeli-
 ed to pay as high prices for raw silk from abroad. yet they have brought in-
 to the country in the year just ending more raw silk than in any preceding year. The value of the raw silk inn ported into the United States in the calendar year 1919 will according to an estimate by the National City Bank of New York, probably exceed S30o,- 000, GOO against s1S0 00O, GOO in the fiscal year 1917 and $1o,000. GOO in the fiscal year 1916, the first fiscal year in which it crossed the 100 million mark. These figures, it is proper to add, relate to "raw silk as reeled from the coccoons,
 and do not include waste silk which will probably add about $12,O0o,000 to the grand total. The quantity im- ported, even at the phenomenally high prices; is greater than in any earlier year. The price of raw silk imported is the highest ever" averaging $S.42 per pound in October as against an average of s3.09 per pound in the 1s- cal year 1915. ..
 This high record of raw silk impor-
 tation. and also at high record prices, says the banks statement, probably means that the cutturn of the silk factories of the United States in 1919 will approximate three-quarters of a billion dollars in value at the factory, as against one=quarter of a billion in the last census year, 1914. A compari- son of the official figures of raw silk imports entering the United States in the census year with the census rec ord of value Of silk manufacturers turne dout in those. years shows that the value of the output of the man facturers in 1914 and 1909 was in each case about two and one-hah times as much as the value of the raw silk inn lported. And with the present high price of labor and other requirements of the factory. it seems quite probable that. the relation of raw silk used to
