Our Natural Enemy

Fire Prevention week is now recognized in all parts of the country. During this week cities and towns throughout the United States set aside a day as Fire Prevention Day and hold appro- priate services and exercises in schools, theatres and other public buildings. The danger of un- controlled fire and its resulting losses are placed before children and adults alike.
 It is said that more wealth is destroyed by fire in the United States than by all other clements combined and that a large per centage of fires are caused by carelessness. In 1919 there were 29O4 fires in which the loss was $1O, 900 or more, making a total loss of $268, 100000. 1919 was exceeded only by 1918 when there were 2943 such fires, and by 1906, the year of the great San Fran cisco disaster.
 Public attention is being every where called to the need of great CT care in the use of matches, to a thorough inspection of chim- neys, now that winter fires are being built, to a cleaning up of rubbish, and to other similar methods of fire preYentions.

Move Them West

Immigrants are coming to this country at the greatest rate ever known. During the next twelve months we must handle about a million and a half. Immigrants now coming over are the best class. Congested cities of the East are the hot beds of anarchy. The problem we face is to distri- bute the incoming immigrants in the rural sections of our country where they are most needed and where they will most quickly as- simulate our American ideals and customs.
 The West needs cheap labor for the farms and lots of it. Let a movement be started to bring a part of theincoming immigrants west as they came across by the traipload 30 years ago. The im- migrants will reduce the cost of livirg by helping us increase pro- duction.

The First Little Ships

The crossing of the Atlantic by hree adventurous American youths n a 35-foot yawl is remin- iscent of ancient deep sea voyag- ing of Yankee sailormen in small craft. Some of these exploits are recounted in study of Americas Merchant Marine" by the Bankers Trust Go. of New York.
 Big profits realized on cargoes brought from remote ends of the earth stirred the 18th century spirit of seafaring enterprise.
 In early days the perils of the sea were regularly brayed in what would now be considered dangerously small vessels. The Mayfower was only a 180-ton ship. When Governor Winthorp built a vessel at Medford in 1861, it was a 30-ton bark, The blessing of the Bay.
 Joshua Haynes built a sloop at Bath in 1762, and later when his yard turned out a schooner of 100 tons, costing $3OOO, it was con- sidered a great undertaking for that period.
 Some idea of the kind of craft that bred the hardy race of Amer can mariners is afforded by the shipbUilding record for 1729. In that year 389 vessels of a total tonnage of 10000 tons were con- structed. This averaged little over 50 tons per ship.
 After remaining dormant for half a century the American sea- faring spirit is again awakening and with a proper understanding of merchant marine problems by the people and the helpful co-op- eration of the government, the U. S. will again take its place as one of the great shipping nations of the world. Think of the fu- ture for young Americans today in our modern 10000 to 10000 ton ships as compared to the 50- ton ships of 1769.

though other members Of the Benja-

Perhaps he will relent in view Of the
singers generous cable to his daugh-

The singer and his wife had to give
UP their honeymoon because he was,
at the time OF his marriage, acting
for the movies in a New York studio,
but the match was proclaimed from
the start a real love affair. When /

They visited Italy together last
