A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

Fires in the United States last
year caused the destruction of
property valued at $548,81O,639
These figures, compiled from reports
made to the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters and just made public
by that organization, show that last
year was the most disastrous one in
the history of the country in point of
fire loss.
What is the connection between
fire prevention and thrift?
About IS per cent of all fires in
this country, we are told by experts,
result from preventable causes.
Carelessness and incendiarism are
responsible for the loss Of property
considerably in excess of $500, 000,-
600 year. Perhaps more vigorous
prosecution of those who wilfully set
fire to buildings would help con-
siderably.
But the greatest need is for
popular education against care
lessness.
People, particularly those of the
younger generations, are being
taught how to prevent disease and
accident. They are learning the
value of physical care for themselves
and for others, but not enough public
attention is given to the question of
fire prevention.
Last year we destroyed by fire
10 per cent of the amount spent for
new buildings. This is too much Of
an economic drain on the country.
1t places heavy burden on each Of
us 1t must not continue
In the stress and excitment of life,
not enough attention is paid to this
problem particularly in the schools
where lessons may be taught that
will be carried to the home by them,
thus spreading the propaganda of
greater care in fire prevention.
This is work in which all may
take part and in the benefits of
which all may share.

Two Side. OfL;fe

There are two sides TO everything
even life, and they are often so far
apart that it is impossible to recon
Gle them.
One man says: Times are good
and they viii be better. The condi-
ton of the farmer is improving and
crop prospects are splendid. The
financial pages Of the newspapers
show business is better and am
going to help in my small way to
make il better"
Another man says: Chimes are
awful. It's a constant struggle to
keep the wolf from the door. Every
thing is topsy-turvey and don't
know what this world is coming TO Z"
Two opposite opinions on the
same subject One man is enjoying
life. He recognizes the handicaps,
but instead of complaining about
them, is endeavoring to bring about
some improvement. He belongs to
the class that leads the way to better
things.
The other, his vision obscured by
the darkness cast by his own shad-
ow, sees only darkness when the sun
is really shining Nothing satisfies
him because he expects miracles
when the age Of miracles has
passed, Nothing pleases him be-
cause he is not able to please him
self. He is just here. can't help it,
and wouldn't if he could.
Each Of us is one or the other or
in between and don't know which
way to turn Think well before you

Putting An End To War.

Twenty-siX prominent peace adj
vocates have united upon a propos-
al to be submitted to the senate in
December, which calls for the i'm
mediate entrance Of the United
States into the Permanent Court Of
International Justice on the basis Of
the Harding Hughes-Coolidge re-
serVations.
The proposal includes the under
standing that If the nations of Eur
ope, within a specified time, do not
call an international conference for
the purpose Of negotiating general
treaty outlawinR war as a crime I'M
der the law Of nations, the United
States may in its discretion with
draw its adherence to the court.
What attitude the senate will take
towards the proposal, it is not now
possible to forecast, but it is not
reasonable TO except that anything
concrete viii come out Of the sug-
gestion, no matter how practical it
may seem
Every sensible person realizes
that disputes between nations
should be ajudicated just as misun-
derstandines among individuals in
court are settled. There is no more
reason for nations slaughtering
each other than there is for men to
fight duel to death to settle an
argument.
On the one hand. the individual
who fails to 30 10 court to settle
his dispute but takes the law into
his own hands" is punished for the
crime. Nations, however, may 90 to
war and cause endless suffering and
misery and still go scot free.
They deserve punishment just as
do men who violate the law There
Is international law, but no means

AS they do for individual con
