FORD AND THE SENATE

One is told how Senator Town
send and his friends Lave been
given pause in Michigan by the re-
ported intention Of Henry Ford TO
run for the Senate on the Demo
cratic ticket. Such 4 move on the
part OF Mr.. Ford would cause dis
tress in Republican circles, not
only in Michigan, but a good many
other states. In such eyentu-
atty the ghost OF Newberrylsm
would refuse to down.
When, d few days ago, Senator
Townsend was renominated for
the Senate. the Republican press
of the country drew much comfort
from the supposed fact that New
berryism a. 4 campaign issue had
Eeen put behind the parts. The
country. they fancied, would have
time to forget in the weeks that
must clapse before the election.
Bue any such political activity as
that proposed would put new lie
into the issue. The press of the
country iecls obliged to print what
Mr.. Ford has to say on any stub
icct. any time he cares to say ii.
Money talks and some are now
figuring that MIR. Ford is blessed
with this worlds goods beyond
any man on earth. \ man as
rich as that would have no trouble
at all floating a campaign Issue,
and in seeing to it that it found
lodgnent in the public mind
This is especially true when
some millions OF Mr.. Ford'S cotm-
trymcn will share the conviction
that is an issue that ought to be
raised
More strength to his elbow,
many Will say.

MANY Uses FOR BIRCH

A writer ir the Boston Herald
states that in the long-ago, life with
out the yellow birch would have been
uncomfortable in the back woods Of
Maine. From the cradle, which was
often woven from yellow birch
sprouts, to the coffin, which was at
times equipped with yellow birch
beckets for lowering into the graves
and all the way between, birch was
in use Birch was used as withes for
many purposes. 1t was used to bind
pressed hay, and was found handy Iii
supporting wagon stakes, and for
hay racks harrows, baskets, barrels,
sleds, sleights, ladders, lopsided doors
and gates, tottering weu-sweepS, and
almost every stationary on movable
article about the premises cOulC utl-
lie a birch withe. Withes were uset
to tie cattle in their stalls, to make
huddles for sheep, crates for poultry.
goads for oxen, and as washers TO
take up extra spaces cn the bows OF
the yokes below the bow pins. When
iron anchors were unavailable birch
withes made a mesh TO hold large
stones. And whatever wa7 needed in
house building or in the making OF
snarcs or nets, was supplied BY birch
Nowadays, birch is much used for
cart hubs. One Maine factory turns
out $4,000 pairs of such hubs every
year. In West Virginia the noun
taineers distill the twigs Of the vel

IS FIRE WEEK
President PrOclaims Week
For Prevention of
Fires
NV InifeA preas1

Washington Sept. 22.-Presideni
Harding, in a proclamation issued
yesterday, called upon the country to
set aside Monday, October 9, as Fire
Prevention Day, and to observe it in
such manner as to impress upon the
people the Importance of precaution-
airy measures for the avoidance OF
fires"
at has long been a reproach to our
country" the President said in the
proclamation" that by reason of
poor construction, inadequate facili-
ties for fire prevention, and an all
too general carelessness about pos
sible causes of conflagration, our fire
waste reaches figures year after
year which are not approached in any
other country in the world
The President estimated that Anne
rican fire loss has approximately
seven billion dollars in the last 40
years, in letter read to the Nation
al Convention of Fire CHIEFS at their
recent convention in San Francisco
and made public at the White House
today.
The proclamation follows:
at has become a nationwide custom
to observe October 8, anniversary Of
the great Chicago fire of 1871, IS IA
tional Fire Prevention day; and in
recognition of this excellent preeed-
ent, | am herewith directing the at
tention of all citizens, especially
those in authority in the states and
cities, to the desirability Of continu-
ing the observance this year and
making it as impressive as possible.
at has long been a reproach to
our country that by reason of poor
construction, inadequate facilities for
fire prevention, and all too gen
eral carelessness about possible
causes of conflagration, our fire
waste reaches figures year after year
which are not approached in any other
country in the world. Mindful of the
fire waste which is expressed in fig
ures so huge rs to be appalling, 1t
may be emphasized that in time
when all communities need to con-
serve resources in hand and to pro-
mote production in every possible
way, there ought to be especial eff
fort to minimize such losses. To this
end.
Therefore, 1, Warren G. Harding,
President Of the United States, APP
peal to the public authorities of the
country, by such measures as to them
may seem most effective, and to citi-
zens generally, to take steps for the
observance of Monday, October 9, as
Fire Prevention Day. l suggest the
special desirability Of impressing up
on the teachers and pupils in the
schools, and all workers in industrial
establishments, the Importance of pre-
stationary measures for avoidance Of
fires. by such measures, earnestly un-
dertaken and vigorously enforced, we
shall contribute to a vast economy of
the national resources and of the
product OF humal. effort; as well as
to a saving of many hundreds of hui
man lives now needlessly sacrificed"
WARREN C. HARDING.

ON BRAZIL EXPOSITION
By U. G. KEENER


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
RIO De JANEIRO BY Mail to
United Press. There have been vol
umes written that the United States
exporters are fas, losing the posi-
ton they obtained in South Amerii-
ca during the war, but these vol
umes seemingly fail to relate the
fact that the "Made in U. S. A"
/ trademark is stamped deep on the
massive works of construction I'M
derway in the Brazilian capital at
present.
A visit to the international ex-
position to commemorate Brazlls
independence centennial will impress
persons with the lasting utility OF
made in L. S. A. products in Brazil.
The Avenue of Nations, on either
size Of which are being completed
the pavillions of the various coun-
tries to participate officially in Bra

and roadway construction OF the
United States, and one Of the three
architects whose plans for the con-
strucrion Of the Welcome Arch at the
entrance of the exposition grounds
were accepted by the government,

gineering ever undertaken IN Brazil

ing rushed through under contract
By a prominent firm of New York
City. Huge granite rocks are being
washed into Rio Bay, along with tons
of red clay, by hydraulic guns that
beat into the entrals of the great
hill with a pressure of 25O pounds
per square inch, breaking the rocks
as though they were Humpty Dump
tvs egg shell. These giant hydrau-
lie guns bear the Made in u. S.
A." stamp.
Another part of the big hill is
being blasted, the dirt and rocks are
being dug away, placed in automatic
dumping cars and hauled and de-
posted in Rio Bay. Dynamite for
the blasting is being furnished by a
prominent Delaware concern, steam
shovels for digging the RED earth
from the hill and placing it into the

PEOPLES AND GOVERNMENTS

Time was when the head OF the
clan. or the tribe, ordered men III
to battle, or ordered them out OF
the fighting, if there happened to
be any survivors. Time passed,
but custom did rot materially
change. The heads OF the head
hunters were not SO numerous,
but the kings and the nabobs came
uponthe earthly scene. The kings
told their more or less noble ioI-
lowers to tell their rctaInerS
when to fight.
1t is in line with modern PrGc-
tice for governments, and a SIN
ister secret diplomacy, TO decree
wars. Some maintain therefore
that the people OF the world have
really made no very great pro
greSs in the last two thousand
years in the direction OF higher
and noblcr civilization For one
thing some think the modern
European diplomat will order men
to their deathsWith the same free
dom and abandon as did the head
hunters Of an earlier age, and that
about the only difference is that
modern science has been employed
in dcvisiug new horror, in the way
OF dealing death, especially to
civil populations.
