Whatever kind of box, pail, or basket

Quently cleansed and scalded, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. This is necessary to keep it
clean and sweet and to kill bacteria
that collect, especially in the seams
and crevices of a container and cause
foods to spoil or deteriorate in flavor.
In fact, there should be no part Of any
food container that cannot be cleaned.
For this reason the simplest boxes and
baskets are often better than the more
elaborate ones with compartments in
which to Keep dishes, knives, forks, and
spoons.
Metal Easiest Cleaned.
Metal boxes and pals are perhaps
easiest to keep clean, and some Of the
boxes have the further advantage that
they can be folded when empty and
strapped with the schoolbookS. Bas-
kets are ventilated and therefore suit
able for carrying moist foods that are
likely to spoil, though there is no rea-
son why small holes should not be
punched in metal boxes or pals to let

In automobile travel, there have come
on the market well-constructed boxes
and baskets with compartments for
keeping food hot or cold and for hold
ing liquids. These are, of course, suit
able only for children who ride back
and forth, and especially where several
lunches are put up in one household.
E In many families the paper bags in
which groceries are delivered are
saved and used to pack the children's
lunches in. The children usually like
to carry lunch in paper bag because
it is light, and may be thrown away
entirely if it is no longer wanted.
Paper bags can be bought quite cheap

garment the sleeve treatment is ex-

Fashion this year dictates that the
coat for evening wear must be long.
For day or street wear there is con-
siderably more latitude since three

is in such favor as the close-ftting

ton is generally simple in cut, very
often beltless and extraya gant-circular
effect is very much used in these suits,
although there are goodly number
of straight-line tailleurs as well, with
out a suggestion of ruffle or godet.
Coats have changed as, much as
frocks, and the coats we wore last
spring have a different appearance
that marks in tell-tale manner their
age. Coats have no waistline, except
in minority of cases, and the coats
that tied on one side are to be seen
no more. The flares are everywhere,
and very frequently coats show faring
fur bands around the bottom.

How Astoria Came Back

The rehabilitation of one of the ports
of the Pacific coast, where the business
district and water frontage was COM
pletely destroyed by disastrous fire is
of general interest all over the United
States.
This city was established by John
Jacob Astor and the American Fur Co.
of New York, and has developed in
modern time ito great numbering,
milling, warehousing, salmon-canning,
and general industrial center.
The fire. losses extended into many
millions of dollars, but in one year the
the city has practically been rebuilt,
and we now behold prosperous Astoria
with bank deposits of $4,000, 600.
All this was accomplished without
state or national aid, the principal re-
lance having been prompt payment OF
insurance losses.
There was time when such fire
would have wrecked and crippled insur-
ance companies, but, like banking, in
surance financing has grown so strong
that its ability to meet conf1agr atlons
like Astoria and Berkeley are no longer

Saving County Roads

Supplementing the state highways
which are being built as trunk roads by
various western states, many individ-
ual counties have adopted a definite
program OF hard surfacing the side
roads leading into these main traffic
thoroughfairs.
For years many county roads have
been surfaced with gravel or crushed
rock. AS result a fine hard road
base has been created.
Modern automobile traffic tears these
roads to pieces causing constant re-
pairs and more rock. To eliminate this
heavy maintenance bill, many counties
have been surfacing these roads which
already have substantial base, with
an asphaltic concrete pavement, thus
eliminating the costly practice of dis
tribuiting new gravel or crushed rock
every few months.
One fact has been clearly demon
strated and that is that a substantial
road base such. as these old roads,
mean more to the life of the pavement
than increased thickness in the pave
ment itself if placed on poor base.
Thus is the grading and base of the old
road utilized at a great saving to the
taxpayer and at minimum of expense

Why Not Make It Chronic

Fire Prevention Week-October 7-l3
was more widely observed this year
than ever before. Chambers of com
merce, schools, theatres, Rotary clubs.
women's clubs, Red Cross chapters,
Boy and Girl Scouts and many other in
-terests in all parts of the country com.
bined to further this great educational
move to reduce the waste of life and
property by fire.
This is excellent cooperation in the
interest of conservation of human and
national wealth but the great lesson
should be that fire prevention is year
round proposition and not a matter for
attention simply during this week. If
the cultivation of carefulness with fire
hazards became habit among the resi-
dent of the United States, then the
National property destruction would be
materially reduced. Its present pro-
portions are enormous, the records
showing an annual toll of Is, 600 lives
and an ash-heap of building and COM
modities once valued at $52l, $50, 600.

The old idea of education was
composed between the boundries
of "reedin, ritin' and 'rithmatic."
The modern idea is that educa-
ton should prepare for life. as
we'll as for the utilization of print
pen and figures.
The progress made toward a
rational educational system is we'll
shown il statistics quoted by S.
H. Beach Of Rome, N. Y, presi-
dent Of the Savings Bank Divis.
ion of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION. He said:
million studentsi in schools
now are participating in school
banking systems. This is a 81
percent increase over last year. "
The banking habit is the foun-
dalton of industrial wealth. A
people which will not save can
not prosper. Few men easily
learn to save after they are grown.
Habits of thrift learned iTchild-
hood persist through adult life.
Habits of spending, formed in
boys and girls, make irresponsi-
BILE men and women, too often
liabilities rather than assets to
society.
Two million children learning
to save pennies in public school
banking systems are a sound
guarantee for a saving manhood
and womanhood in the coming
generation. Nor does the fact
that the average bank account of
the school child amounts to only
$3.50 mean anything. That four
eighty is the sum of many five
and ten cent deposits, sums which
bear the same relation to the in
come of. the child. as the depos-
it's made by his elders have in
relation to the elders income.
Twenty-six million Americans
have savings accounts totaling
$17, 300, 600. 600 or $685. each. The
two million school boys and girls
who today have their little saw
ings accounts and thus learn that
the labor ofstoday must be con-
served to some extent for the ex-
penditure of tomorrow are the
country's guarantee that in the
next ten years the increase in
our savings accounts will more
than equal the increase in the
last ten years. which was 100
percent.

Friday, October Il, 1923.

Very ew.people take.any great
notice of the world about them.
When they step out in the morn
ing if the weather..happens to be
fine they may think enough to
remark about it. Can you tell
the popular. direction Of the wind
for the week, or the kinds of birds
we have with us yet, or the num-
Der of clear nights this week. :?
In Washington this is the time
of falling leaves, red sunsets and
fine days. The winds play a.
mong the branches and whispers
of the days of winter, of the
snowy days and....the bowling
winds, Of frosty mornings and of
all that is the browning glory of
the short days and long nights.
People see but do not read the
signs of the year. They rush by
with eyes that do not see thru a
paridise of beauty to try satisfy
vague desires and longings that
cannot be satisfied. In the little
common touches of nature about
you, can be found as many pleas
ant things right here, as you can
find anywhere. Do the fishes in
the ocean ever stop to appreci
ate the wonderful thing called
water in which they live? Per.
haps not, but fishes are not very
appreciative. People living in
such splendid world as ours can
surely find time to give the med
ium in which we live a few
thoughts now and then. Take a
full breath once in awhile, g
glance at the sky, a thought TO
the Maker and go on your way
rejoicing.
