eye view Of the tortuous progress OF a
ire engine responding to an alarm
will soon convince the most skeptical
that few motorists possess the slight
est conception of the regulations or
the actions which assure personal
safety.
Fire engines are heavy. awkward
vehicles. They are allowed by law to
proceed at speeds in excess, Of those
laid down for passenger automobiles
and trucks. They are given exclusive
right of way.
Careless. Indifferent motorists who
clog the streets and delay progress OF
fire apparatus are guilty OF "a serious
offense. besides placing their lives and
the lives of the firemen in jeopardy.
Immediately on hearing a siren
which. incidentally, is audible for sew
eral blocks-a motorist should pull to
the curb and stop. He should not
wait to ascertain the direction OF the
engines. That can be done after he is
safely off the middle of the street.
Then. when he is sure that all appa-
ratus has gone past, he may proceed
on his way.
Fire engine drivers are skilled in.
their tasks. They are able TO avoid
collisions with only the smallest
amount of cooperation from the mo-
torist, but II they find themselves be

The Spirit of Locarno." p"

Ratification by the British House
of Commons of the Locarno treaty
has been effected with a vote so near
ly unanimous as to evidence an over
whelminG sentiment ON the part OF
the British people for this form of in
SurauCe against conflict. The vote
was $40 To I3. The opposition was
pcrfunctory. Dispatches regarding
the scene in the House Of Commons
say that the session was imbued with
"the spirit OF Locarno."
That the Locarno treaty will be
ratified by all the sisnatory powers Is
assumed There is no doubt that a
feeling Of intense relief has been eN-
perienced throughout Europe in conse-
quence of the agreement reached in
Switzerland to establish guarantees
against war by effecting "A combina
tion of major powers pledged to resist
any aggreSsor. Had such Il combina =
ton existed in 1914 it is doubtful
whether Germany would have under
taken the onset against France
through Belgium. The German Aus
trian campaign was predicated upon
the assumption that Belgium would
not resist and that Great Britain
would not unite forces with France.
The invasion of Belgium was vio-
lation of treaty, tearing of the
scrap of paper Is Won Bethmann
Hollweg admitted Under the treaty
of Locarno such d move would be
automatically an enrolment of all the
forces OF England, France and Bel
gium against invasion. In 1914 Berlin
believed that London would hold
aloof. Today Berlin would know that
London would become a party TO any
war started by an act of German
aggression, with other nations pledged
to unite forces against the aggresSor
This is an insurance much more
effective than League of Nations in
fluence for settlement. The Locarno
treaty springs out of the Versailles
treaty in one sense. But it is more
than supplement. 1t is the fruition
that the league does not specifically
guarantee peace, and that only by
direct and explicit pledges and treaty
bonds can peace, coalition be estab-
lished.
The treaty of Locarno can. of
course, be treated like d scrap of
paper" if the will should prevail to
violate it or ignore it. No treaty is
stronger than the good faith of the
sgnatory powers. But d breach of
good faith against this treaty is less
likely to menace Europe because of
the guarantee of self-interest binding
a sufficient combination of defensive
forces into an effective unit Of re-
sistance.

Christmas Savings and Thrift.

Fifteen years ago a plan was in
ausurated in 4 few banks in this
country whereby people might make
periodical deposits throughout the
year for the purpose of accommodating
savings for Christmas expenditures.
These christmas clubs grew in num-
her steadily. The plan appealed to
tho thrifty spirit. 1t was an advan-
tage TO the savers. to the banks that
cared for their money, and to the
business world So far has the Christ
mas savings club system spread that
this year it is estimated the distribu-
ton of money to members in the
United States will be s314.154.S00, ac-
cumulated by approximately 1000. 900
people. More than $500 banks have
been the repositories for this fund.
Tho total amount is $4,000, 900, or
about 25 per cent, in excess of the saw
ings in the Christmas club plan last
year, and the membership is an in
crease of II per cent over 1924. The
average amount saved through the
plan by each member this year is
SASS, as against an average of S40.60
a year age.
Not all of this money thus accumu-
lated in the Christmas savings funds
and disbursed by the banks to the
members is spent on Christmas pres
ents. The originator of the plan, who
has followed its development closely,
now estimates that of the 1914, 800
saved less than half, or about $141,-
$50 $50, will be spent on gifts. About
SIS, 900 900, he says, will be deposited
in savings and thrift accounts, s37,-
100000 will go for insurance premiums
and mortgage interests, $34, 100000 for
taxes and $12, 500, 900 for fixed charges
maturing in the holiday season. In
short. these estimates show that the
Christmas savings plan is business

holiday buying, but veritable means
