The District Commissioners today
directed Corporation Counsel Stephens
to draft bill to provide for tho fire.

valids or children are housed.
In bringing the question to the at

Chief Watson recommended that

within FIVE years.
The Commissioners did not pass on
the merits Of this specific recon-

raised by the fire chief, namely, of
making all such institutions safe
against fire risk.
1t is the belief of the Commission
ers that action by Congress is neces-

the city heads will then pass on its
merits.
The recommendations of the fire
chief also covered the question Of fire

HORDE OF ANGLERS READY
FOR TOMORROW
First Sunday of Season VIII See
Many on Streams; a Few Were
Lucky on the Opening Day.

With the opening of the trout
fishing season Thursday a number
of local fishermen tried their luck.
Others who would have liked to
have wet their lines on the initial
day of the season could not get away.
And still others being aware that the
water in most of the trout streams
is at high stage, and feeling that 1t
would only be a waste of effort and
time, showed no desire to get out on
the opening day.
Reports of small catches on the
opening day have come in, these
being the fellows who fished the
small streams. One fisherman is
credited with having caught seven
teen of the speckled beauties.
However, no reports have been re-
ceived of anyone reaching the limit
of twenty-five trout.
Tomorrow Sunday will be the
big day of the season. All those
who could not lift the lid on the first
day and many others will HE them
selves 70 the streams tomorrow. 1t
is quite probable that there will be
more fishermen than fish. Every
stream in the county will have more
than its quota of fishermen. 1t
will be that way for two or three
Sundays or until the mosquitoes get
their singers thawed out and work
ing good. After that the amateurs
viii pack their outfits and the
dyed-in-the-wool trout artists will
be the only ones on the job.
Road conditions in the county have
improved considerably the past few
days and those who have been over
the roads are surprised at the way
they have dried up. Most of the
roads are passable, although the
going in many places is rough.
Patrolmen are on the job and every
effort is being made to smooth out
the rough places and with favorable
weather big improvements will be
noted in the next few days.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

1t is gratifying to note that or
ganiZed official action is being taken
to eliminate what is perhaps the
greatest source of waste in American
life, namely, lack of simphfied
practice in industry This waste is
officially computed at 100000
eco annually or enough to pay all
federal, state and municipal taxes
with a large margin left over. The
figure mentioned was arrived at
after engineers of national and in
ternational reputation spent SIX
months in making surveys. Their
findings revealed an average of acc
waste in six of our greatest in
dustries.
The basis of this waste lies largely
with the individual consumer, who
thoughtlessly, in most eases, creates
a demand for endless varieties, styles
and grades
The industries in which an average
Of acc, waste was found, were ac-
cording to Mr.. William A. Durgin,
chief Of the division of simplified
practice in the Department of Com
merce, metal trades, boots and shoes,
textiles, printing, building, and
mems clothing. Perhaps there are
other industries where the percent
age of waste is just as great, but the
ones mentioned have particularly
been surveyed.
As an example of what can be
done toward eliminating waste in
industry, it is pointed out that a
large producer of mems shoes
recently eliminated 9S.7 per cent of
his former line. A manufacturer Of
food products has, through simpE-
fled practice, decreased the variety
of his output 1920 with a decrease
Of 1870 in cost of sales force, a 1880
saving in advertising and an 500
saving in overhead, with an increased
sales volume of COZ.
An almost endless list of instances
of this kind may be found in the
records of the division of simplified
practice.
1t is a splendid phase Of thrift
work in which each individual can
prove of helpful cooperation. 1t
also emphasizes the fact that there
are perhaps few businesses that
cannot by intensive study of this
phase of their activities introduce
methods that will very greatly CON
tribute to their more profitable
operation.
