 The coal output for 1924 wat 26S,416,0o0 tons, against 27S.501 .00C in 1928, and prices are much lower
 A decline was again reported in the December production of pig iror at 5So.7o0 tons. and steel ingots and castings at 551.000 tons. with si, fewer last furnaces operating.

MAKE 1T YOUR JOB

TNHE Pacific Coast Association of Fire
i Chiefs meets in annual convention
here Monday. Six hundred fire chiefs
will gather in Seattle to discuss the QueS-
ton of fire prevention.
It's mighty big question, too, When
one considers that in Seattle alone the fire
losses last year were more than 100000,
while in the nation they reached the stag
gering total Of S5iS,000,000, it is readily
seen that there is plenty Of room for cut
ting down this enormous waStage.
And it is wastage. For the most seri-
Gus thing about our fire loss is the fact
that 90 per cent or more of il could be
prevented if proper caution were used.
Next week, while the fire chiefs are
assembled here in an effort to solve that
problem for us, would be an excellent OPP
portunity for every Seattleite TO dedicate
himself TO the job of fire prevention,

DRINKING ABROAD

TWO complaints of American drinking
i habits come from Europe One is
that American tourists drink too much.
the other is that they drink too little In
the hectic resorts. they storm the bar and
make nuisances of themselves. In Ger
man restaurants. they order lemonade
and pass up even the light wines and
beer of the country.
Doubtless most of these lemonade
drinkers in Germany belong TO that vast
majority of Americans who either were
never in the habit of drinking or have got
out of the way of it since prohibition, and
who now find themselves more comfort
able without it even in country where
there is no legal or social objection, and
where the beverages are mild. But doubt
less also some of them are the identical
individuals who made such franctic spec
tacles of themselves when they first
landed.
There are certain groups in America
who have had the drink complex They
did not particularly want a drink, but
they did want the privilege of taking it.
So. long brooding on the idea they leap
to the chance when they reach free"
country-and they find they don't like it.
They feel happier in their right minds.
SO, by the time they reach Germany,
they quit in disgust, and drink lemonade.
