Fire Prevention.

Events are always happening that
call attention to the need of precau-
ton against fire. Carelessness or in
difference to the safety of others,
thoughtlessness and downright igno-
rance are the cause of nearly all fires.
Fire-prevention week, conforming to
the Presidents proclamation, will be-
gin October 10, and in that proclama-
ton it is set forth that fire causes an
annual loss Of life estimated at $4,000.
most of the victims being women and
children, while our fire losses increased
during 1920 to over 500, 900, ,000.. and
during the previous five-year period
totaled over $1,416,s75, 5,000-buildings,
foodstuffs and other wealth needlessly
destroyed.
In. Washington the fire department
will help make ire-prevention week
what its title signifies. The depart
ment will vigorously carry on its in
spection of theaters, apartment houses,
hotels and other large establishments.
Among the many things to be done
will be to urge all householders to
clear cellars and, attics of rubbish.

Chief Justice Taft.

William Howard Taft has several
claims to congratulations today, and
the country abundant reason for con.
graduating itself on the way fortune
has dealt him cards. He has been
President of the United States, the
highest honor in the political world,
and now is Chief Justice Of the United
States Supreme Court, the highest
honor in the legal world. In his pres
ent office he has realized lifelong
ambition, and public sentiment was
almost unanimous in applauding his
selection for it. His good fortune has
been most unusual and thoroughly
well deserved.
We have entered upon new times.
To degree, and in a way, the world
is being made over. Great changes,
political and social, are taking place
elsewhere, and some are being urged
on us. How many should be made?
How far should they go? What is nec-
essary to keep America in close touch
and cooperation with outside develop
ments without departing from the
forms and purposes of the fathers?
We want to keep, and should keep, as
close to base as is consistent with the
demands of progress. The men who
founded this government knew their
business, and their work has produced
great results.
Such changes as may be decided on
Congress will make, and such contests
as may arise from them will be re-
viewed on application by the Supreme
Court. Hence the duty devolving on
the President and the Senate to keep
the personnel Of that body up to the
highest level.
Mr.. Taft's age and strength promise
years Of usefulness on the bench. He
likes work, and an abundance Of it
will be provided for him.

Winter and Unemployment.

While loHg-range weather prophets
continue to point to signs of long,
hard winter, economic writer's, for the
most Part. point to signs. and facts
which indicate industrial revival. They
find many omens. bits of news and
market tendencies which lend a tone
Of cheer to the situation. Industrial
revival would be the one great remedy
for unemployment and would counter
balance, in a way, a long, hard winter.
Such a winter in the present state of
industry and the unemployment at
tendant upon that state of industry
would mean privation and suffering
for large numbers Of people. If wishes
and hopes count for anything those
wishes and hopes will bring a genial
autumn and q not unfriendly winter.
And a reduction Of unemployment by
trade revival.

The Age of Marriage.

The New York Sun has gathered
statistics for New York which show
that In that city the average age Of
marriage for both men and women
is the same as in 1911. The average
man, the statistics show, married at
twenty-eight, and the average wom-
an at twenty-four.
Out of a representative group of
fifty couples in 1911 three women
were older than their husbands. four
women were of the same age as their
husbands, and the. other. forty three
women were younger thans their
mates. Three of the group were ten
or more years younger than their
husbands. OF fifty couples of 1921.
six women were Older than the men
they married and five were the same
age.
italians marry youngest. according
to the figures. while Jews marry at
the most advanced age. Various
southern European races in New
York show tendencies toward mar
riage at an early age, while most
native-born, Americans marry at the
average age.
The tendency among the less fore
handed peoples is, of course, to marry
young without regard for ability to
support a wife. There is among other
peoples tendency to wait to, marry
until the husband is :. approaching
financial independence Of until he has
a business or q position which will
enable him to-. afford comforts and
luxuries.-Des Moines Register un-

Home Letter Boxes.

Five thousand residents have al
ready put in mail slots and mail boxes,
and mail deliveries are facilitated by
that much. More than 5000 residents
have arranged to have the front door
provided with a receptacle for mail
and many more are planning to do it.
A good many will perhaps delay until
the front door letter slot has become
the fashion and the customary adjunct
to the well ordered home, and then
they will come into line. The good
work is growing. and gradually, let US
hope rapidly, all the homes in the
District will cooperate to save the

Our Export Trade.

DIR. Julius Klein, director of the bu-
reau Of foreign commerce Of the De-
partment of Commerce. differs sharp
ly with those who take q pessfinistic
view of American export trade. He
sees no collapse, and characterizes as
absurd stories to that effect. In an
address delivered in Boston the other
day he went into the subject at length,
and spoke in terms. Of confidence and
encouragement.
This is taken from the Boston ad-
