Bootlegging IS being driven lower
and lower in the ranks Of criminality.
The closing. one after another OF the
French restaurants" in San Francisco,
is a symptom. These institutions were
never able to live on the food they
sold If they cannot supplement their
revenues with liquor sales now, it
means that bootlegging has fled to
more secluded places and is conducted
BY more outright criminal characters.
Which Is a long step forward law en-
forcement. even in San Francisco,
whore VIGOROUSLY it is weaker than
anywhere else.
When Bookkeeping is conducted only
in places where other crimes are har-
bored and only be people who also
commit other crimes, it is approaching
extinction. It becomes too expensive
for the poor man and too dangerous
for the rich man to patronize. This
is the only crime which can not flour
ish without the connivance OF tie res

FIRE RECORD OF FIVE YEARS.

During the five years, 1916 to 1920,
Americans have been burning up prop
erty at the rate of s334.544,535 a year.
according TO the National Board of
Fire Underwriters which has been
making a study of more than 100000
fires occurring within that time. The
total loss. for the period, of s1,672s722,-
err would, according to engineering
authorities. be sufficient to build 334,-
600 dwellings at $4,000 each, enough
housing to care for 100000 persons.
This is equivalent to the combined
population of Connecticut, Neveda and
Wyoming.
The figures show that the value OF
property destroyed by fire commune
Gated through the roof was 10000
600. Study of these and similar fig
ures are leading to drastic changes in
fire regulations in many cities Of the
country. Roof fires are among those
considered easily preventable and steps
are being taken with that end in view
Fire department records in many cities
show that about forty per cent of all
conflagrations have resulted from
sparks and flaming embers carried by
high winds TO the roofs OF nearby
buildings II is declared that If proper
care had been exercised and fire-resis-
tant roofing materials used when these
buildings were erected most Of the
losses would have been averted.

SERVICE THE BASIS OF 5usI'
NESS.

Rotary is the spirit Of unselfish ser
vice applied to the practical affairs OF
every day life in personal business
professional and community develop
opment.
Recognizing the commercial basis
of modern life as a necessary ineldent
in human evolution, the Rotary CiuO
is organized to express that proper re-
lation between private interests anu
the fusion of private interests which
constitute society.
To accomplish this purpose more
effectively the principle of limited ana
representative membership has oeen
adopted, the Rotary Club, consisting OF
one representative from each distinct
line OF business of profession. Each
member is benefited by contact with
representative men engaged in differ
ent occupations and is enabled there
bv to meet more intelligently the re-
sponsibilities of civic and business
life
The basis Of club membership in
sures the representation Of all inter-
ests and the domination of none in the
consideration Of public questions re-
lating to business. On account OF It's
membership the Rotary Club does not
constitute itself the voice of the entire
community on questions of general i'm
portance, but it's action on such ques-
lions is of great influence in advanc-
ing the civic and business welfare OF
the community.
The Rotary Club demands fair deal
ings, honest methods and high stand
ards in business. No obligation actual
or implied, to influence business exists
in Rotary Election to membership
therein is an expression of confidence
OF the club in the member elected, and
Of it's good viii towards him. As his
business is an expression Of himself,
he is expected to represent it.
Membership in the Rotary Club is a
privilege and an opportunity and its
responsibility demands honest and ef-
ficient service and thoughtfulness for
ones fellows.
Service is the basis of all business

effectually did he conceal me. Indeed,
I imagine that to the casual glance the
telephone booth appeared to be empty.
I discovered something else, also.

he must have pushed it open again
