MAKE "FIRE PREVENTION"
NATIONAL SLOGAN

THE United States destroys more
than five times as much prop
erty by five as do European coun-
tries, to say nothing of the thou
sands of lives snuffed out annually
European countries have laws dat
ing back to the Code Napoleon max
ing the tenant or owner of build
ing liable for fires caused by negli-
gence.
w. E. Mallalieu, general manager
of the National Board of Fire Un-
derwriters, who has recently re-
, turned from an extensive study of
fire insurance problems in Europe,
observes:
Perhaps in order to reduce
losses on this continent to a less
reprehensible figure, it may become
necessary to supplement the ex
tensive fire prevention work of fire
insurance companies, cooperating
with many civic bodies, by the
widespread enactment and enforce
ment of personal liability acts,
such as already exist in some of
our cities If the man who caused
fire by his carelessness or negli
gence were looked upon, not as an
unfortunate, but as one guilty of
misdemeanor and subjected to
fine, as he is under the Napoleonic
law, doubtless 4 weAwould all be
more heedful."
Fire Prevention week will be OBJ
served nationally from October 7
to 10. 1t is safe to predict that
there will be fewer fires during this
week than normally. Instead of
dropping back into our old habit
of fire carelessness," at the end
of the week, why not continue fire
prevention as a national habit?

the table at the dining halls in
our educational institutions. 1t is
sign of the good American spirit
that prevails in most schools, that
no discredit or loss of dignity
seems to attach to these young
people who are thus earning their
way. Some snobbish students may
be less inclined to take such ones
into their circles, but as rule
sentiment seems to respect those
who are fighting their own way.
Students who have these duties to
perform may not find time for all
the social activities that the rest
enjoy. But the willingness to work
indicates that a young person is
eager for education, and his
chances in the world would seem
quite as good as the one to whom
everything is handed free. Also
you admire those who take up
some practical task that needs to
be done, rather than trying to sell
things to people that they do not

LITTLE THINGS

IT'S THE little things that count.
Many spendthrifts scoff at the
close buyer, the one who gives
thought and energy to the saving
of few cents. To these spend
thrifts, what is a matter of three
cents?
Yet the three-cent tax on gaso-
line netted the state during the
month of August nearly $4,000.
1t isn't the first three cents that
counts, nor the second nor the
third, but the summing up of hun
dreds and thousands and millions
of them. This is what the close
buyer knows, and he knows too
that advertisers aid him to make
his savings.
The man who advertises in his
home paper does three-fold SER
vice. He increases his own busi-
ness so that his establishment be-
comes an asset to the town; he
enables people to buy at saving
by letting them know of his bar
gains; and he, through his adver-
tising, supports an institution. that
is devoted to the backing of every
civic enterprise. More advertising
makes better paper, capable of
working for better community in
tereSts.
what is good for the hive is
good for the bee." Whether the
motive is altruistic or selfish, the
person who trades with the man
who advertises his goods, is bene-
fitted,. first because he helps to
make his community grow, and Sec
ond because he is able to make
money by saving it, and the spend
thrift should not scoff.
Those who would have dollars,
should bear in mind of what those
dollars are made-CENTS. In the
same way, it is being mindful of
the little things that benefit a COM
munity that bring the big things
to it. Trading with the merchant
who worked for a better and big
ger town, may seem in the light
OF doing a public service like a
matter of three cents. But with
everyone doing it, it is surprising
how fast those three cents can
multiply.

TAX-EXEMPT BONDS BEAT
GOVERNMENT

HOW tax-free bonds increase the
burden of taxpayers is set forth
in a striking way by Julius H.
Barnes, former Federal Grain Ad-
ministrator. He puts it thus:
ga man worth over $50,000,000
died last year. 1t developed he
had paid no federal income taxes
since 1916, and legally so. Instead,
he bought tax-exempt bonds of his
state and city, yielding Az per
cent. But for this he would have
contributed over $85O,O0O toward
the expense of his federal govern
ment.
Federal expenses were not one
dollar less because he did not pay.
"Who did pay the $850,000?"

PERILS OF THE STREET

IHE narrow escape which Presi-
dent Coolidge had some days ago
from being hit by an automobile,
suggests that from the highest in
the land, to the littlest kidlet that
toddles across the street, we are
all in danger from this modern
peril
The hazard is not confined to
crowded cities like Washington.
Drivers often run SO rapidly
through the centers of small towns,
that such former resorts of safe
seclusion now share the risks of
the great city.
Every new advance in civilization
brings new dangers. Conditions
were much safer in the days before
railroads, when about the only
known peril of transportation was
the risk of runaway horses. In
those quiet old times, there could
have been but very little to scare
a horse of ordinary mental COM
petence No pieces of newspaper
blowing around in the breeze tC
make them kick up their heels and
climb the fence.
Electricity brought a new set O1
hazards. But when automobile;
came, the quiet and peaceful coun
{ try road, in which amiable nag.
used to jog along while their driv
ers went to sleep in peaceful secur
ity, has now become a race track
in which the speeders care littl,
for their own safety or anyone
else'S. The city and town stree
has become a kind of modified rail
road track. In many locations
is not much safer crossing tn
street than it would be to use tn
path of the express trains as
sidewalk.
This peril will always exist. TIL
people of Winslow must learn t
meet it. They will be likely t
conclude that the people who us
the streets for the operation O
these powerful machines, must b
subject to rather searching tests
and must expect to lose this priv
.ilege if they manifest lack of re
gard for the rights of the public
