A Doubling Thomas says, care
fire prevention activities producing
desirable results?" The fact is cit
ed that fire losses in dollars and
cents are increasing year by year
regardless of the efforts of insur-
apce companies and fire prevention
organizations to curtail the loss.
1t would be a severe indictment
OF the intelligence of the American
people if it could be said that they
had paid no attention to all the
effort exerted in their behalf to
secure their cooperation in reduc-
ing fire losses.
But such is not the case. Even
though it is true that in dollars and
cents, aggregate fire loss increases
year by year, it is also true that
value of burnable property is in
ereasing proportionately much fast
Ell than increase in fire losses.
That people are beginning to APP
preciate and head campaigns in in
terest of fire prevention is evidenced
by modern building laws which re-
auire slow burning, or so-called
freproof construction. For some
time there will remain the menace

OUCH!

Here is good one going the
rounds, of the un-kep+ press as
a message from the seat of in
formatiolj in the East. We
were always under the impress
sion that Education Week was
named in order to give parents
and others a closer insight into
the workings of the schools.
The Doubtinl Thomas thinks
that the week was designed and
named to take slap at his in
dividual pay check as director
of the League. The message
to the faithful says:
"a deliberate attempt to
stamp minority ideas as treason
able and to arouse irrational
fears" is one of the effects of
American Education Week, ac-
cording to Norman Thomas,
director of the League for In
dustrial Democracy. Consider
the falsity of the notion that
illiteracy makes men tools of
radicals" says Thomas. "Act-
ual in our most illiterate sec
tions it makes them tools of the
bosses or of the Ku Klux Khan"

In Seattle, the city owns the
street railway system and the people
pay ten cents for a single ride and,
in addition, dig up some 100000
year taxes which the private COM
pany formerly paid. -t. ,~
In Portland, the street railway is
owned privately, gives better SER
vice than the Seattle system and
car riders pay eight cents for a
single ride. The city collects an
Rually some hundreds of thousands
Of dollars taxes from the private
company, thus relieving all Portland
property of corresponding amount
Of taxation. =.
Cleveland, Ohio, the star per-
former in municipal ownership, is
going into an eclipse. Figures
show that the private electric COM
pany in that city which completes
with the municipal electric plant,
has gained 1S4 per cent in custom
ers over given period as against
III per cent for the municipal
plant during the same period.
The gross revenues per kilowatt-
hour for all electricity supplied by
municipal and private plants in
Cleveland is approximately the same
but If taxes are deducted from pri-
waite company rates, private service
would be considerably cheaper.

The Miner hopes that r. W
Hitchcock of Hibbing lands in the
speakers chair at the state capitol
this winter and for which place he
is so emminently fitted. He was re-
elected at the last election for the
fourth consecutive time by the
largest vote ever given him and il
is conceded by all that the voters
made no mistake either time. Rep
resentative Hitchcock has a record
as legislator second to none in
the state and to his efforts largely
ic due the rural school and good
roads legislation besides several
other measures of more than ordin-
airy Importance. He has all the
qualifications required in speaker
and is particularly we'll endowed
with ability and training. His ed
horial work has fitted him for any
office he desires to hold and if
named speaker by his colleagues in
the house, will be a fitting successor
to BILLY" Nolan and an aid to
the: newly-elected Governor, "Ted''
Christensen. The new honors may
also lead farther for the range

WILL IMPROVE HABITS
OF CHILD AT TABLE

What can we expect of children
at the table? Perhaps Johnny bolts
his food, and runs away to play
with never an "excuse me-" Or
Mary plays with food and does not
eat it. And so we think these
things must be, because Johnny and
Mary are only children. Somehow
we expect the child will outgrow
these faults, never realizing that a
few suggestions at the right time
can prevent the formation of un-
desirable habits. Let me illustrate.
Three year old Jimmy was in the
habit of drinking milk noisily. His
aunt said one day, Jimmy, how
quietly can you drink your MILK"
Jimmy decided to show her he could
drink it very quietly indeed. 1t
was new accomplishment, so
Jimmy practiced it to show others,
and soon he had overcome the bad
habit.
How many a mother has been en-
barrassed because her child started
eating before the guests at the table
wre served. She might have been
spared that embarrassment if each
day her child waited with the rest
of the family until all were served.
Many children have a habit of
leaving a good share of their food
on their plates. Just as we adults
learned to leave clean plates during
the war, so little children can form
the habit and be quite proud to
show you their clean dishes. Not
only will this early training make
the mother happier, but the child
himself as he grows up will not
have the disagreeable struggle of
trying to overcome poor table man

JUDGE GARY COMMENTS ON

In the resume of Judge Ebert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation, 'the election of
Mr.. Coolidge to the presidency of
the United States of America, by
an unusually large majority, has
furnished reason for a worldwide
feeling of gratitude to a wise and
merciful Providence that rules the
destinies of humankind" Judge
Gary looks for "great future bust
ness prosperity" and says ''if it
does not appear it will not be for
the lack of conditions and oppor-
tunity." Judge Gary also has the
following to say:
"Since the end of the most ter
rible and destructive of all wars,
there has been an abnormalized con-
dition of mind which has threat

LONDON, February 29.-The House
of Commons today passed the second
reading of the bill extending the

Under the present law, limiting the
franchise to women Of thirty or over,

en-. 1t is figured that 100000 will be
added by the adoption Of the bill,
making 100000 voters of each sex.
The laborites favor the measure. as
do a great number of liberals, whose
election manifestos declared in favor
of treating women on equality with
mon. Ex-Premier Asquith, liberal
ing opponent of woman suffrage in
any form, but who changed his views
during the war, has pronounced in
favor OF the present proposal. The

have assured It's supporters that it
will not treat the bill as a ministerial
measure, but will give 1t its blessing
and leave 1t to the free decision of
the house.
The woman members Of parliament
are divided on the bill. Miss Doro-
