OIL TANKS ARE
F|REPROOF

CHICAGO, May IA. - Private
dwellings throughout the United
States are in greater danger of fire
than oil stored in steel tanks in
oil fields
Approximately two-thirds of per
cent of all dwellings in this country
burn each year. Only one-third of
/ per cent of steel storage tanks
for oil are destroyed by fire.
This is according to recent bull

Foundation which declared that
safety methods now in almost uni

possible a repetition of the recent

Because of heavy production in

includes Oklahoma and Texas, a
similar disaster would be an impos-

as profession may be highly re-
warded in heaven, but is poorly
paid on earth. That is the gist of
the annual report OF the National
Assembly of the Church of England.
The big staff of $1,000 clergy OF
all ranks in the Church of England
some Is years ago, has dropped to
5000 in England ana Is still dimin-
ishing.
Preaching doesn't pay, in many
instances, not even a living. Many
families can no longer afford to
train a son for the church.
The report is signed by Earl
Grey. It lays great stress on the
Importance OF pensions for the
clergy when, after many years of
patient work and sacrifice, they are
faced by penury.

 There is such thing as an ''irri- tational" strike. It is not a strike such as a labor union would employ in attempting to redress or settle a dispute. but one called merely to "irritate' the employer. It is a communistic invention, a sort of sabotage upon the status quo.

AN EAST RIVER CANAL

The plan to make canal out of the East river alongside New York, filling in enough of the present river to provide for 35,o00 city lots, will probably commend itself to many who have wondered why there is a supposed need for such a wide ex- panse as the East river on one side of Manhattan island, when It's port facilities are amply served by the Hudson. The value of 2,20o addition al acres attached to Manhattan island would more than pay for the cost. If the New Workers need in- struction on how to reclaim land they might send delegation to Hol- land, where that particular species of activity has been practiced with success for generations. The time undoubtedly will come when Man haitian will be separated from Long Island by a mere canal" which would amply serve the purposes of a waterway.
 Originally the lower tip of Man haitian island was far above the present Battery; miles of lowlands around the island were reclaimed generations ago, but no reclamation scheme on a large scale has been at- tempted.
 Other cities having less need of land, have been more progressive in this respect. The entire back bay district in Boston originally was a morass and was systematically filled in. The work took many years.
 New Britain also has had some filling in. Originally there were sev- eral creeks near the center of the city. with lowlands nearby which were swamps. They were filled in so long ago that no one remembers the time. We only read of it in the city's histories. ..". -
