WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. g.
The consumer now is paying more for
his meat, both the fresh and smoked
variety, than he paid year ago, ac-
cording to an investigation of retail
prices made by the United States
Department of Labor. The biggest
price gains have been in pork pro-
ducts but cuts of beef also have adj
vanced.
The Department of Labor obtained
from retail stores in representative
cities the prices charged for meats
and struck an average of these fig
ures, which represents the average
price level for the country.
Last year at this time the retail
price of ham was 66 per cent above

Make Fire Prevention. A Slogan.

The United States destroys more
than five times as much property
by fire as do European countries,
to say nothing of the thousands of
lives snuffed out annually. Eu-
ropean countries have laws dating
back to the Code Napoleon making
the tenant or owner Of a building
liable for fires caused by negligence.
w. E. Mallalieu, General Mana
ger Of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters, who has recently re-
turned from an extensive study of
fire insurance problems in Europe,
observes:
Perhaps in order to reduce the
losses on this continent to less re-
prehensible figure, it may become
necessary to supplement the extern
sive fire prevention work of fire in
surance 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 negll-
gence were looked upon, not as an
unfortunate, but as one guilty of
misdemeanor and subjected to a
fine, as he is under the Napoleonic
aw, doubtless we would 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?

PLAYING Politics With Coal.

The Portland Oregonian, in COM
menting on the present coal strike
says:
Anthracite and bituminous coal
are sod in distinct markets, but
the United Mine Workers, whose
members mine both fuels, have or
dered a strike in the anthracite
field and hold in reserve the threat
of a strike in the bituminous field
for the purpose of forcing federal
Intervention between miners and
operators in both fields.
"One incident Of the miners
strikes might induce the President
to intervene with vigor. That is
the riots and even murders that
have accompanied others. When
he was governor Of Massachusetts
he refused to intervene with the
Boston police strike until the city
confessed it's impotence and called
for state aid, he then used the en-
tire armed force of the state and
quickly crushed the strike. That
precedent does not auger well fol
any men who attempt a repetition
of the massacre that has made Will
hanson County, Illinois a by-word
for mob rule. He has authority to
rnoel instruction without awaiting
a request from state for aid he
will use it if state proves unwill-
ing or unequal to the task. He
would not interfere with the right
TO strike, but he would make it
we'll understood that this does not
include the right to riot and muir
der.

What Is a Trust Company?
That Many Business Men Are Unaware of the Service

Talk of Senator Roseberry.

agent to handle investments and prop
erty not employed in his regular bust
ness enterprise.
Most of these services are per
formed under highly confidential
terms. In some states even the exist
ence of private trusts is not known
excepting to the persons who create
them and execute them. This is the
law in q number of states where trust
companies are forbidden to divulge the
existence and terms of these trusts to
others than the respective trustors, the
beneficiaries and the particular Off
GERS and employees whose services are
needed in their execution. This fea-
ture in itself is often attractive. Many
persons desire that their property
holdings and many of their business
dealings shall, for one reason or an
other, remain confidential. There is
no other source where equal secrecy
can be secured in such matters"
These companies are the safest
known repository of property. Indeed,
statistics show they are safe to the
point of absolute assurance. From
their inception they come and continue
under strict organization and periodi-
cal inspection laws and are always
subject to careful and constant control
and supervision by public authorities.
They must be differed and operated
by skilled and experienced men, backed
BY substantial capital, which is usual
ly deposited with some state officer
for the faithful performance of their
trusts, and they have thrown around
their operations and the property in
trusted to them every legal safeguard
which our legislature can devise and
our courts can sustain, and these safe
guards have in fact proven safe.
A recent survey of the public rec.
ords of the several states disclosed
that with but one small exception
there was not single recorded case
in America where the beneficiary of
a trust administered by an American
trust company suffered the loss of a
single dollar through any action for
which the trust company was legally
liable. This is remarkable record
and one that can not be duplicated
by any other business institution or
agency in the country.
Just how the trust company can
best serve your interests can be read

trust companies operating in this city

What is q trust company and what
does it do? This is a question in the
minds of many persons. Let me tel
you the answer in the words Of vice
president of trust and savings bank
as / heard him explain it to a group
of business men recently:
"a trust company is a corporation
organized under special laws to accept
and administer property for Others
and TO act rs a trustee under many
forms of contracts and for many types
of business transactions. The pos
sibilities and variations of trusts are
almost endless.
There is no public officer, no pri-
yate individual nor corporation mol
other entity nor instrumentality which
is in the same business as trust COM
pany. Although individuals perform
the same functions they do it seldom
and never as a business. By nc
means, however, do trust companies
enjoy a monopoly, for there still per.
sists the old-fashioned sentimental
practice of naming ones relatives,
friends or business associates as exec
utor of ones will, guardian for ones
children, or trustee of some of their
property. This practice, however
after generations of unfortunate ex-
periences and misplaced confidence, is
diminishing and more and more the
trust company is enveloping this field
of business.
"Their activities are confined solely
to handling property for others. Most
of their business is confidential, and
made so by law, which in measure
may explain why there is such limited
public information about them and
their varied trust services.
"These companies are essentially
public serving corporations, in fact
that is all they do. They transact abb
solutely no business for themselves, ex-
cepting what is required to operate.
1t is all rendered to members OF the
public.
"They are equipped through their
large capital and resources and a
carefully built-up expert organization
TO render a reliable and what is now
considered to be an absolutely essen
tial service to the people in caring for
property of the aged. the sick. the
improvident, the young, the absent,
and the successful business man who
needs the services of a responsible

Divorces Show Big Increase
Compared to Marriages
in Bexar County.

Divorces are gaining is popularity
in Texas at greater rate than mar
riages.
In Bexar county divorces are in
creasing more than 100 year, while
decrease is shown in the number
of marriages.
The preliminary report of the De-
rartment of Commerce, just received
by County Clerk Jack q. Burke, is
authority for the statement that the
life of single blessedness" is becom-
ing increasingly popular in Texas
and Bexar county.
The report is based on accurate
statistics for the years 1923 and
1924, and on estimates for the first
10 months of 1925. The figures are
furnished the Department of Com
merce by the various county and dis
trict clerks.
DIVORCES INCREASE
There were 71,936 marriages in
Texas in 1924, against 69,243 for
the first 10 months of 1925. This
is an average of 1854 q month last
year, and 1924 a month this year.
Divorces in 1924 totaled 1870 in
Texas, against IA, 632 during the first
10 months of this year. That is an
average of 1850 a month last year,
against 1,463 a month this year.
The marriage increase in 1924 over
1923 was 2,743 or 4 per cent.
Last years divorce increase over
that of 1923 was 73S, of 5 per cent.
The figures for Bexar county are
even more startling than those for
the entire state.
LOSS IN MARRIAGES
An actual loss in the number of
marriages was shown in 1924 over
1923. The figures are 3,461 for last
year, against 3,499 the previous year.
On the other hand, distinct in
crease in the number of Bexar coun-
ty divorces was shown for the two
years.
In 1923 there were only 109S di-
vorees granted in this county. Last
year that number jumped to ia
Similar statistics by counties for 1873
are not available.
Atascosa and Guadalupe are the
only adjoining counties to parallel
Bexar's record for the last two years.
Both showed decreases in marriages
against increase III ulfOItcSs
In 1924 there were 153 marriages
in Atascosa county, against 161 in
1923. Conversely, there were only
eighteen divorces nthe county in 1923
against 10 last year.
OTHER COUNTIES.
Marriages in Guadalupe county fell
off but one, the figures being 80 in
1923 and 300 last year. Divorces,
however, increased from 43 to 81.
Similar statistics for other neighbor-
ing counties follow:
Bandcra: Marriages in 1923, II in
1924, 26. No divorces in 1928 against
two last year.
Comal: Marriages in 1923, 81,
against 1854 last year. Divorces in
