.PARADES TO FEATURE
PREVENTION WEEK

Two parades of the San Antonio
Fire Department Friday and an
illuminated drill Friday night will
feature activities in connection with
Fire Prevention Week. One parade
will begin at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing, the other at > 80 o'clock in the
afternoon. The. drill which Chief
Sarran declares will be the most
spectacular ever staged in San An
tonic. Will be at s o'clock at night
at the central fire station.
Throughout the week pupils in San
Antonio schools arc being instructed
through practical demonstrations, how
to operate n fire alarm box or turn
in fire alarm as we'll as proven
ton measures. These demonstrations
and lectures are by Fire Chief Sarran
and Fire Marshall Russi and will
cover all schools. TheT are accom-
panied By active firemen who assist
them.
Another angle of the prevention
campaign is the appearance of speak
ers before various civic organizations.
Fire prevention pays financial divi-
dends, according TO Chief Sarran. If
business men and home owners will
keep their premises Clean" he said,
use care in storing and handling in
flammables, and give the proper care
to their flucs and electric wiring, they
will find this interest on their part
will pay dividends by making a lower

WIVES OF AMERICA
EARN Il BILLION

CHICAGO. Oct. S.-CP)-The wives
of America would be paid $4,000
100000 a year for their services if
they were put on salary, W. A. John
son. of Galveston. president of the
Laundry Owners National Association,
told members. .---
Weekly payroll of the 22.00O.0OO
wives and home managers of the Unit
cd States would be $330,00O,OJ0 at
SIS week each," he said. Halt
the. sum would be sufficient to pay
all expenses of running the govern
ment of the United States. 1t is. ap-
proximately % per cent of the total
national income. and certainly would
seem to be a fair return for the in
dispensable services of almost half the
working population.
"The reason women don't receive pay
as home managers is that as an aver
age they are lacking in business sense.
Women don't demand business basis
because they are used to a sentimental
basis.
IF home managers we're put on a
salary in accordance with the means
Of the family. nearly all budget econo.
mists arc convinced. it would be an
economical move. Budget system for
the family would be facilitated and
saving would be systematic"

INSURANCE BUSINESS GROWS
Companies Doing 81 Per cent of Bust

16.5 Per Cent During February

Writings of new life insurance during
February were los per cent greater than
during February, 1924, according to re-
port compiled by the Associated Life In
surance Presidents. This statement, the
office explained, covers the business of IS
member companies, having in force 81
per cent of the total business outstanding
in United States legal reserve life insur-
ance companies The new paid-for bust
ness exclusive of revivals, increases and
dividend additions, amounts to $773, 49,
600 for the month"; against $663 10000
during the same month of last year, rep
resenting a gain of $100,412,000 The
largest percentage gain by classi6cations
was in group insurance which in Febru-
airy last totaled $36,728,O0O, or 81, 306,-
600 over February of 1924
Prohibition has been the means of aid
ing many people in obtaining life insur-
ance who could not have it if the saloons
were doing business as in the old days.
Many men now are taking part of the
money they formerly spent over the bar
to buy insurance. 1t is also true that
many persons are able to obtain insur-
ance today who would have been re-
jected as undesirable risks had they not
ceased drinking as result of the closing
of the saloons.

LABOR TEMPLES-LABOR BANKS
Orchard P. Jones, District Director
of the United States Employment
Service at Minneapolis

There has been a remarkable growth
of labor temples since prohibition be-
came a law. Prior to 1920 labor temples
fourished largely in the southern states,
states that were dry.
Numerous instances could be pointed
out where labor unions in northern states
tried to get together on a labor temple
project, but the sinister influence of the
saloon always stood in the way. You
see the unions were meeting where rent
was free" But when the saloons were
closed the labor temple movement started.
Local unions in St Paul, one of the
wettest cities i'll the country, assessed each
member of a union a days wages and
building was bought and paid for in cash.
Minneapolis unions will break ground
for a 100000 labor temple in the spring
Duluth has already started
Denver unions tried to get together on
a labor temple project for many years but
they didn't succeed until the state of Col
orado went dry. Now the unions of
Denver have building of their own.
Detroit, Mich, has had the same expe-
rience.
The growth of labor temples is the
direct result of prohibition, the elimination
of the saloon influence from labor circles.
Labor banks were unknown in this
country prior to 1920. Now there are
some sixteen large banks and more COM
ing. In fact, the labor bank movement
is developing so rapidly that at the last
convention of the American Federation of
Labor at FL Paso, Texas, it was thought
wise to caution national and international
labor organizations to go slower. Labor
made no attempt to obtain credit facilities
until after prohibition went into effect.
The treasures of the national and inter-
national unions were never in such splen-
did shape as now. The rank and file of
labor men were against any modification
of the prohibition laws because they fear
the return of the saloon. Most of them

CAN LAW BE ENFORCED?

(By Thomas Williamson, L. s.
District Attorney, Southern Dist.)
The prohibition law can be en-
forced it will be enforced. If
counties, or municipalities fail, or
refuse to function, there is REM
edy, and drastic one, as indicated
in the foregoing. 1t is ceretainly
better and more fitting that en-
forcement be conducted by the
county or municipality. Neither
can afford to have the stigma or
reputation of lack of respect for
law, or lack of ability to enforce
the law. Neither can any county
or municipality afford to have the
reputation of harboring or failing
to prosecute the bootlegger, or
proprietor of soft drink parlor and
roadhouse wherein the liquor law
is violated The existence of such
conditions develops the gangster,
the bank robber, the mail robber
and the murderer.
1t has been demonstrated that
the more serious crimes in this dis
trict have been originated and
planned in places where .intoxicat-
ing liquor was illegally possessed
and sold. The county that ef-
fectively suppresses liquor traffic,
will soon find a decreasing burden
of other crime.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1925-04-17

are convinced that any modification which
would permit the sale of beer and light
wines would mean the return of a Ii
censed drinking place, and finally the
saloon.
The licensed drinking place would re-
cruit from the labor temples and the labor
banks and have a serious effect on the
payment of union dues. But the labor
people are not going to be fooled
