Wayne County school authorities re-

them to protect the lives of pupils

follows:
In a few weeks the schools OF
Indiana will be opened and every

Those who are charged with the re-

Be sure that every fire hazard has
been removed that the heating plant

STATE CLUB LEADER
ASKS SUPPORT FOR
CLOTHING CAMPAIGN

Mrs. E. c. Rumpler, president Of
the Indiana Federation OF Clubs,
makes an appeal to the women of
Richmond on Aug. 80 in behalf of
the campaign for used clothing for
stricken Armenia.
Indiana women who have so nobly
stood stanch to the many calls for as
sistance that have grown out of the
world war cannot turn deaf ear to
this cry of distress from the orphans
and refugees of the Bible lands. Hun
dreds of tons of clothing will be need
ed this winter TO clothe the shivering
bodies of a people suffering through
no fault of their own.
Thousands of little children will be
/ in rags or without a shred OF cloth
ing unless the women of our country
come to the rescue. Thousands of
| families in Armenia were driven from
their homes during the war and there
is no way for them to get clothes.
Most trunks and wardrobes In In
| diana have some garment that has
| been cast aside or is being saved for
sentimental reasons Bundle them up
and give them to this worthy cause.
| Put in some little touches of color.
for the children of the Bible lands are
, color starved. This clothing cam
paign, like all campaigns for philan-
| thropic purposes, must have the sup
1 port and cooperation of the entire
community if it is to succeed"

Basil Meek, of Fremont, Ohio, who

RUBBER INDUSTRIES

AKRON. o.. Aug. 23.-Akron the
rubber city OF the world. gradually is
lifting It's head out of the business
stagnation that has enveloped it for the
last year. a survey shows.
Few industrial cities have been hit
harder than Akron by the postwar
depression Almost in twinkling II
had fallen from city where workers
pay envelopes were stuffed to over
flowing, to a town where jobs were
at premium, and pounding the pave
ments for days sometimes failed tc
turn one up.
Workers left Akron in numbers. I
was an exodus. The vast rubber fac
tories seemed strangely still after The
feverish activity of war days.
Readjustment Compete.
The inertia is being thrown off now
and the rubber industry of Akron
where 40 per cent of the rubber goods
OF the word. and 60 per cent of thu
worlds tires are manufactured, practi
cally has completed its readiustment
and is operating at the peak for tn
year, according to the most reliabl'
men in the industry.
Resumption of industry finds TIL
high wages of war days a thing of tn
past While skilled tire builders ant
finishers still make Sc and 81 a day

parent should make it his or her BUSH
ness to see that their children are
properly cared for
During an average OF five hours each
day. during 200 days in each year,
5000, 900 children are in the schools
OF the United States. The attendance
is compulsory: no fundamental educa-
tional problem is greater than the
safety of these children.
Fire Drills Important.
Fire losses in schools in Indiana
during the years 1918. 1919 and 1920
amounted to s34S,735.00
Fire drills are extremely important
and should be held at least twice
month, but perfection of drilling IS
of little value if fire exits are omitted
or improperly designed, or if doors
are locked or do not open outward
All doors to school buildings should
open outward and should be equipped
with panic release bar latches.
| The janitor is an important factor In
the prevention of fires and should be
made thoroughly acquainted with the
vital need for careful housekeeping. II
would be productive of beneficial re
suits if school principals or boards oil
education would supply janitors with
a short but comprehensive notice con
corning fire hazards with view tc
enhancing the safety of pupils.
/ What the country needs is national
team work in fighting the fire waste
Our schools have a double response
bility and opportunity in the premises
first TO put their oWn houses in order
and second, to yield powerful educa
tional influence. The education of the
public in matters of fire prevention j:
the most important step that can b.
taken toward limiting the loss of lif'
and property by fire.
If within the next year the teachin:
of fire prevention were incorporated il
the courses of all schools and college
in the United States, ii is safe to pre-
dict that the effect upon the fire vast
would be very great. Some states a
ready require that certain amount o
time be devoted each month to tn
study of fire prevention in gramme
schools This should be required j
the upper grades of grammer school
to the extent of at least two hours
| week.
Il Effect on Child.
1t should be remembered that tn
degree OF attention given to FIRE PR
