AN AWFUL CATASTROPHE.

The accident at Hobart, Oklahoma, when what meant for Christmas celebration turned into terrible holocaust in the twnkling of an eye, shows that people learn very slowly from the expe- rience of others. T'::c c,a custom of mixing light ed candles and cotton ornaments Christmas tree has survived in many part of the Union despite the dozens of lives lost from the custom. The child ren know no better, but their elders should know, and knowing should be held responsible for acci- dents resulting there from. Many of us resemble the aftermath of deaths from the old style celebra tion of July Fourth, and many persons complained when laws enacted banning the daedy fire cracker and the cap pistol. The scarcity of deaths nowadays has proven the wiseness of the law, and for Christmas tree ornaments many precious lives if could be passed banning the sale of candles would be When thinks of the anguish today in the little Oklahoma settlement one can- not censure too strongly the pernicous custom of lighting up Christmas trees with nflamabe sub- stances.

THE FDATERNAL SPIRIT

In spite of the frailties of manknd-the hypo- cricy, meanness and greed held before our eyes by the daily press-the greatest majority of humanity are striving for better things.
 Especially marked is the growth of the fraternal spirit as exemplifed by lodges, busi- ness mens clubs women s societies. the Boy Scouts, and an endless number of worthy and helpful organ izatons.
 This spirit of fellowship is beautifully des- cribed by Henry Van Dyke in the following words:
 If l can feel sympathy-feel it within and wlthout-then the dew falls and the desert begins to blossom. By sympathy I do not mean merely fellowship in sorrow, but also, and less truly, fellowship in joy. To be glad when your broth CT men prosperous and happy, to rejoice in their success, to cheer for their victores to be compass sonate and pitiful when your brother men are dis tressed and miserable, to grieve over their failures to help them in their troubles-this is the fraternal spirit which blesses him who exercises it, and those toward whom it is excercised.'

GAS DANGER IN GARAGE

We read frequently in press dispatches of some one meeting death from carbon monoxide gas from the exhaust of his automobile, usually in closed garage
 Warnings concerning this danger have been is sued by the Public Health Service. Especially in the colder sections of the country these accidents likely to happen, where drivers sometimes let the engine for time to warm up, before driving out of the garage.
 The smallest engine will give off enough car bon monoxide gas in two or three minutes to make the air of an ordinary garage dangerous, while larger engines will naturally contaminae the air in less time.
 This gas is almost odorless and by peculiar effect on the red corpuscles of the blood it causes death by paralysis of the respiratory organs. While the victim loses consciousness gradually he may be parayzed to such an extent that he is unable to es cape, by the time he becomes aware of his danger
 The only safe plan is to avoid running an auto mobile engine at all in any place not we'll ventilated

And now France is getting it's dose of soviet in- gratitude It is not surprising. In fact, in the light of soviet history it to be logical experi- ence. No sooner does another nation strike hands with the bloody bosheviks than they institute pro- gram aimed in fulfillment of their dreams of a worldwide revolution of the proletariat'
 England had its bitter experience. When the labor government striving for power it demand ed recognition of soviet Russia. It won some of it's strength at the polls by it's adherence to a radical program which had support from the com munistic element. No sooner had the Macdonald ministry come into power than the agitation for i'm mediate recognition began. Macdonald, though mild socialist, swept along the pro-com- munistlc tide faster than he hoped to be. The Moscow regime recognized, trade agreement signed and progress toward negotiating a loan had been made when the crash came that tum- bled down the labor -communisic house of cards It disclosed that the soviet government, after win ming concessions from the British ministry, launch ed secret movement to overthrow the government of Great Britain by revolutionary methods
 That the reward the British received for acts of friendship toward Moscow So stunned angered were the British people that they swept the labor regime out of power and restored the party that stood for everything the labortes did not stand for.
 The Herriot ministry of France, in spite of this plain lesson, also extended recognition to soviet Russia. Though not socialist Herriot is rad ical. He has received the support of the socialists and is under political obligations to them. He fol- lowed in the steps of Macdonald, and history is re- beating itself. Abusing French hospitality, the communists have tried to undermine the govern ment. Their agents work practically in the open. A French admiral who sold out French battleship to the Russian reds in the Mediterranean during the and whose comrades serving terms in the filthy soviet prisons today because of his treason returned to France few days ago and was arrested by the French authorities for high crimes against the state. The communists demanding his release In other ways they have flouted the French goveln ment to such extent that the Paris police opened the reds and Premier Herriot was forced to issue declaration in the chamber of deputies pledg ing his government to combat communistic violence.
 It is no secret that Russia has not abandoned it's program of world revolution. Any seeming reservations to the contrary only strategic Lc- nine, when he compelled by circumstances to throw off communism in Russia, declared that he did so only as an expedient to consolidate the soviet position, and added that the world struggle would be resumed opportunity.
 The United States is the only great power that has seen through the soviet mask It has not been hoodwinked by soviet pretensons or deluded by so- vet lies. Great Britain after foolishly burning its fingers, has returned to the American policy. France will have to do so in time.
