FIRE PREVENTION
NOW

The anthracite coal famine brings
new fire hazards not realized by the
public, says w. e. Mallalieu, of
National Board of Fire Underwriters
"See that smoke pipes and ffues are
thoroughly cleaned. Soft coal pro-
duces more flame, gas and SCOT
which cause chimney fires. Radiat-
ed heat from smoke pipe leading to
chimney is also greater than with
anthracite. Shield woodwork near
furnaces, stoves, and smoke pipes
with asbestos and sheet metal. Soft
coal requires more air for proper
consumption. 1t is subject to spon
taneous ignition and should never be
piled near furnace nor against wall
of wooden bin.
"Oil burning equipments will be
installed by many householders and
should be safeguarded in accordance
with regulations issued by Nat1ona;
Board of Fire Underwriters. Grav-
ity fed systems involve greater
hazard than where fuel oil supply l.
delivered by suction to burner from
underground tank.
always fill portable oil stoves in
daylight and away from fires. Keep
oil stoves, electric and gas heaters
away from curtains, walls. furniture
and infiammable furnishings. The
portability of such devices increases
their danger. Weak spring catches
on oil stoves cause them to fall open
when carried, with consequent prob.
ability Of fire. Explosions are caus-
ed by defective wicks which do not
fill wick tube. Wick and burner
should occasionally be boiled in "a
strong solution of soda and care
fully dried, thus insuring better light
and saftey OF operation. When not
in use, electric heaters and cooking
utensils should be disconnected at
the socket.
Goal shortage is likely to result
in freezing of many sprinkling sys-
TENS in business establishments, and
consequently they should receive
special attention"
While foregoing warnings are sent
out particularly for anthracite dis
trict, the majority of them apply
with equal force to every home
Practice fire prevention now.

NEW INSTITUTE TO HELP THE
EASTERN FARMER

What the Rockefeller Foundation
stands for in the welfare and prog
ress of the world at large, the
LarroweS Institute of Animal Eco
Monies is undertaking in behalf of
the Eastern dairy and poultry far
mer, according to news story re-
ceived here today.
Funds to carry on the work have
been provided for building greater
larry industry in the East. EN-
phasizing diversification on the
average farm and more efficient
methods with. cows, hens and crops
10 feed them, covers the scope of the
newly established Institute. The
actual work is now in the hands of
staff of agricultural experts who
are intimately familiar with farming
conditions in the East and who have
themselves been practical farmers.
No phase of dairying and poultry
raising will be overlooked which
bears upon putting more dollars in
the farmers pockets. Since the in.
dividnal farmer cannot determine
the market, price himself, it is up to
him to increase his profit and to
lower his costs, and this is what the
Institute of Animal Economics will
work hand-in-glove with him to
accomplish.
"Dairying is, the logical industry
Of the Eastern farmer" says James
e. Larrowe, widely known engineer
md president Of the large manufac-
turing concern whose donations
made the Institute possible, in ex-
planning why the institute has
chosen this field for its activity
mot only are physical conditions
suited to it, but an over-increaslng
market is furnished in the rapidly
growing population centers nearby
No other farm effort will pay him so
we'll as efficient dairying with
poultry raising as companion
enterprise. The Institute will keep
the farmer informed on ways to in
crease his cow and hen efficiency
through research and Interpretation
of the great work OF the various
agricultural colleges.
1t will do this in several ways
For one thing, careful survey will
be made Of representative localities
throughout the East to give the In.
stitute working knowledge of farm
conditions today and what problems
most relentlessly confront the far
mer. An experimental farm will be-
operated under average farm condi-
tions and the results of this will be
made known New methods of feed
ing and caring for cows and chick
ems, for increasing milk and egg
production will be closely watched
and tried out before recommen-.
dation. A bureau of inquiry will be
established, giving personal service
on any questions sent in.
In creating the institute and pro-
viding largely for it's maintenance
Mr.. Larrowe is giving substance to
what has long been dream of his

THE GOLDEN RULE WAY OF
HELPING ORPHANS

1t is well worth while to set aside
each year Golden Rule Sunday on
which the people Of all nations shall
direct their thought to the power of
love and its expression in brother
hood and service.
This year Golden Rule Sunday
has been fixed on December 8 by the
Near East Relief. Harold f. Pelle-
grin, Maryland Director, says it
offers simple way to help $4,000
orphans under its care by having
a simple dinner on December and
giving the difference between it and
the regular Sunday dinner, or as
much more as may be desired, to
help these little ones.

Excellence

l often heard of Hiram Horn,
throughout the Middle West; of all
men skilled in shucking corn, twas
said he was the best. Great champions
from distant farms encountered him at
times, and Hiram proved them false
alarms, and won their wagered dimes.
And they went home, distraught, for
lorn, to spread the winners fame;
there was no man like Hiram Horn,
and none could buck his game. l saw
him in the old home town, upon an
Autumn day; he was alive to his re-
nown, he had the right of way. oh, he
was honored and esteemed. and
handed warm regards: he was a bigger
man, 1t seemed, than congressman or
bards. why do the people thus ac-
claim and boost this triflinE guy" a
stranger asked; his dinky fame will
shortly wilt and die. What boosts it If
a man can shuck more corn than
other gents? Such triumphs are not
worth a buck, or eightey seven cents
This Hiram breaks the damsels' hearts,
they love his rustic fame; but in the
city's crowded marts no man has
heard his name" Men love the fell
low who excels," said in language
blunt; I'VE love to see him wearing
bells, whatever be his stunt. If any
man can pull trick at which his
neighbors fail, we do exalt him pretty
quick, and hand him wreaths and kale
striving every day to do a good and
useful chore in some new, better way"

Though Dutch-Belgian relations are

In opposing the treaty, Dutch trade

holland would have to pay highly for

Will Determine if Unemployment
Relief Kills Desire or

BY HAL O'FLAHERTY.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News

LONDON, November 11.-Twelve
men of the highest standing have
been chosen by the Department of
Labor to inaugurate an exhaustive
inquiry into the present system of
unemployment insurance, commonly
known as ''the DOLE" and to report
it's effect upon the morale Of the
working classes.
The committee will be able to make
a most thorough survey of the sub
ject, which has proved a nightmare
to successive governments, including
the Labor regime of Ramsay Mac
donald. Existing acts which au-
thorize unemployed workmen to re-
ceive state aid expire next June,
but 1t is hoped the committees report
will be ready long before the date
of expiration.
The inquiry will extend to every in
dustrial community, with special at
tention to methods of administration,
which in many districts is so poorly
arranged that. workmen need never
seek work, but live with compare
tive ease on taxpayers funds.
The Conservative government de-
sires to establish, once for all, the
soundness of unemployment relief, in
theory and in practice. If it has
failed in its object, or if its effects
upon the community as a whole have
proved demoralizing. then the plan
may be scrapped or included in a
general insurance scheme as a per
manent feature of the social system
