Boys and girls who learn early to
take proper care of their teeth,
throats, eyes, ears and stomachs, have
made long step toward healthy
manhood and womanhood. Through
its public health and nursing serv-
ices, the American Red Cross aims
eventually to reach all school children
with teachings regarding disease pre-
vention and health promotion. Here's
a school nurse treating little girl
for sore mouth, at the same time i'm

CITIZENS CONSIDER
MATTER OF FIRE
PREVENTION
Children in Schools are Taught
Measures to Lessen
Hazards

Fire prevention was the subject for
thought and study throughout the
State on Monday. Children in the
public schools here discussed fire ha-
yards and means of prevention. Fire,
they decided, is usually the result of
individual carelessness. Care on the
part of the individual is therefore the
logical preventive. These were some
of the things that were urged upon
the public:
Don't-allow children to play with
matches.
Don't-block the fire escapes. You
may need them yourself today.
Don't-leave everything to the tea
cher or landlord.
Don't-throw away lighted cigars,
cigarettes or matches.
Don't-go into dark closets, bed
rooms or cellars using matches or
candles to light your way.
Don't-use kerosene, benzine or
naptha in lighting fires, or quicken a
slow fire; it may result in death.
Don't-use gasoline or benzine to
clean clothing near an open flame,
light or fire.
Don't-use alcohol lamps, especial
ly made of glass. They often break
and the fluid is ignited at once.
Don't put ashes in wooden boxes OF
barrels. Keep ashes away from boards
, Don't accumulate rubbish in prem
ises, cellars or workshops.
| Don't keep matches in anything but
a closed metal receptacle.
Don't-have storage closets under
stairways or near dumb-waiter shafts
Fire in these places cut off your mair
exit.
Don't-store oils, paints, grease ol
fats in the house. Keep them outside
| if possible.
Don't-neglect to have your chin
ney flue cleaned once or twice a year
You are responsible, not your land
lord.
Don't-have lace curtains near ga
jets.
Don't-use small gas stoves, OF
stoves or lamps on wooden tables
Place a metal protector under them.
Inspect-your own house or schoo
, room from top to bottom and locat
alt exits and fire hazards.
Be Careful-in using gas stoves, es
; pecially in lighting the oven, and i
. the meat or grease catches fire shu
: off the gas and throw salt, not water
, on the flamse.
: Warning!

TELEPHONE co. TO
ADVANCE RATES
Increase to Go into Effect
Throughout the State on
December |.

According to recent announcement
the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany will increase its rates after De-
cember /.
The falling off in net earnings in
recent years, due to increaes Of oper-
ating cost, until this shows but slight
returns on some of the capital invest
ed, is alleged as the reason for the re,
quest for an increase.
The petition was accompanied by a
bulky detailed statement of the assets
of the, company, including physical
valuation of the property in this State.
The commission will hold an ad
journed meeting on Tuesday evening,
in executive session, to familiariz
itself with the documents submitted
and will later determine on date for
a public hearing and will subsequent
ly announce it's decision in the matter.
The rates for the State outside of
Wilmington are to be advanced on De-
cember l, and the purpose of the petit
ton is to adjust the schedule in Will
mington so as to make this uniform
throughout the State. The monthly
advance contemplated varies from a
minimum of $3.50 to a maximum of 81
for business service and from 40 to GO
cents for residence service.
Proposed Schedule.
The proposed schedule for Whining
ton, which applies also to the Holly
Oak exchange is as follows:

Newsprint Prices
Soar as Shortage
Becomes Universal
Scandinavian Mills Make
H i g n Quotations for
1921 Delivery; Situation
in Germany Unfayorable

The world appears to be in the grip
of q paper shortage without parallel
in recent years. This is reflected by
the present price of newsprint paper in
Sweden. Swedish operators are receiv-
ing $348 tor for their product. They
were glad to get $187 in November,
919. Such prices, of course, have stim-
ulated production to q marked degree.
There are eleven mills in Sweden
engaged in the manufacture of news
print paper. In 1919 their total pro-
duction was but 100000 tons of this
paper. During the first three months
of 1920 production was increased to
such an extent that the exports alone
are expected to reach 100000 tons for
Norwegian mills export about 125,ooo
is said, reach British buyers every
year. Owing to domestic shortage, the
Norwegian government has been
forced to place an embargo on the
export of newsprint paper.
The Finnish production Of paper Of
all kinds amounted to $4,000 tons in
1919, of which $4,000 tons is classified
as printing and scratch paper. This
paper was Of quality which, owing
to its preparation and cutting, was
only marketable in Russia, but has
since entered English and German
channels Of trade.
dltions in the other great newsprnt-
producing country, Germany, continue
unimproved. The supply Of coal and
cellulose continues entirely inadequate,
many mills having suspended opera
tons as result. 1t has become nee
essary for some mills to use wood for
fuel. This has caused an increase in
the price, and has had its effect on
the price of wood pulp, in which
great rise in price has become notice
able in recent months.
The total number of mills in Sweden
is fifty eight, of which eleven are man
ufacturing newsprint, and it is not un-
likely that a larger number will be SO
engaged before the end of the year, ow-
ing to the prices paid for newsprint
paper. 1t has been ascertained that
the 1920 output is pretty we'll covered
by contracts, about 80 per cent in
tact, and some mills already have con-
tracts for 1921.
In December, and at the beginning
OF TINS year.. paper prices rose fully
~ per cent. but very large part. Of
the output for 1920 had already been
sold at prices very low compared viii, WITH
those or to-day, so that the average
price that mills are getting for 1920
deliveries is far below present dav
quotations: The British buyers OBJ
talned IN 1919 many advantageous con-
tracts Tor 1920 delivery, not only for
wood pulp but for newsprint nancr
ABOUT one-half of the Swedish export
OF newsprint paper for 1920 is under
British contract.
{, Buyers for the South American, the
south African and the Australian mar
kets have not%yet completed arrange
ments tor their 1921 supply, althourh
Australia already has bought some
quantities at prices ranging from s32l
TO $34o per ton. These prices and
present day conditions will undonbt-
ediy have decided effect on the 1921

Zealand, which was completed in 1919,
so demonstrated the value of such re-

however, both branches are fourishing.
There is q large demand by local firms
for tungsten. The United States is
eager to take all the surplus. More

Business is still CROPPING. While many
manufacturers and jobbcrs are hopeful
concerning the general business situa-
tion, trading in most lines is almost at
q standstill. The growth Of cooperative
sales of shoes and clothing by manu-
facturers who are hiring large exhbi-
tion halls and state armories for the
disposal Of accumulated stocks thrown
back on them as q result Of the cancel
lation of orders by retailers or tho ac-
tual return Of the merchandise, Is an in
teresting aspect Of the state Of trade.
Tho general closing down Of woolen
mills, including an indefinite suspension
of all but three of the American Woolen
Company's plants, beginning July 10;
the almost complete stoppago of work
in the shoe factories throughout New
England and Brooklyn; the smallest
number Of sales of cotton goods In the
Fall River district in years, all are
straws in the wind that show the trend.
Speaking Of politics and business, the
Mechanics and Metals National Bank
IN its July review observes that the
present great attention given to politics
is not merely concern over politics for
Its own sake. It reflects the belief that
tie Administration Of the next four
years will exert a powerful and per-
haps determining effect upon the
course of business in those four years.
"The first demand that business and the
country will make of the coming Ad-
mlnistration," says the bank, ais econo-
my. Greater economy would have been
compelled long ago if the nation as
whole had appreciated just how wide
spread the effects Of government ex-
travagance have been. The most OBJ
vious result of the expenditure Is being
seen in taxation. The need to turn
billions of dollars into the public cof-
fers has caused the adoption of doubt
full taxes, which have fallen in many
instances with little relation to the
ability to bear them, have drawn heavi-
est on the normal savings of the nation
and have dried up the sources of new

otherwise have gone to restoring the
railroads, to making possible the sound
financing of our export trade to Europe
and to building new factories or
launching new enterprises to increase
the nations capacity for producing
wealth. Most disturbing Of all has
been the excess profits tax, which, not
to speak of the intrinsic unfairness and
lniquity with which it has fallen. has
discouraged production on many sides
and encouraged extravaganza and waste
everywhere. The second effect Of the
lavish governmental spending has been
to initiate the currency and credit of the
nation with the continuing distress and
unrest to whict that has given rise"
