NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS
ALL WORLDS A DIAMOND

It seems that all the worlds a diamond and all the men and women merely fans when the titanic struggle for the worlds baseball championship comes upon us every fall. To baseball followers in every part of the United States, the playing of the world series typifies all the superlatives of perfection in the great national pastime, and their interest in the series never wanes until the final de- cision is rendered.
 It matters not whether fans live in the cities whose teams are clashing for baseballdom's steller honors or whether they have their habitat in even the most isolated > of villages, the same keen interest is all-per- vading. Baseball truly can be termed the great American sport, and the number of par ticipants who engage in the playing of it some time or oth- CT during the season is far in excess of the number indulg- ing in any other form of athlet- ic diversion. It is a clean, wholesome sport, and no better finale could be given to the seasons windup than the play ing of the world series contests.

COMMON SENSE NEEDED

Agitation is started periodic ally for standardized code of signals for automobile drivers. The plan is to be recommend ed, surely. If anything needs standardization that has not already been reduced to that common plane, it is signals of automobile drivers. No two drivers have ever b cen known to employ the same signals.
 But such a code of signals, however practical and stand ardized, cannot take the place of common sense, which ev- cry driver was supposed to have been endowed with at the beginning of his earthly career. The supposed to have been" will be understood by every

DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE.

Protection against fire does not lie alone in highly-trained hosemen, shining chemical en- gine9 and inexhaustible water supplies. Safety against fire lies far back of that, in straight-out, hard thinking in precaution, the highest form of caution, in anticipat- ion, the highest form of cre- ative intelligence. In avoiding loss by fire, an ounce of gray matter is better than rivers of water.
 But the only thing that burns these facts home, it seems, is fire itself. That is why, in ap- pealing for preventative ef- forts during Fire Prevention week it is unacceptable that he who would catch the public ear must talk in terms of hol- ocausts. We can end fires, some day, if we plan right, build right, and utilize the proper agencies of government to safeguard us from new haz- ards.
 In the meantime the hum- blest of us can protect our shop, our office, our home by using the most elementary forms of precaution.
 We can be careful with matches. Matches and care less smokers were responsible for a loss of $9O,0OO,OOO in a recent Swear period, We can be careful with electricity, and avoid cheap fittings and inn proper connections. Electricity was responible for an S85,OOO- 900 loss in the same period. We cn be careful with stoves, furn- aces, chimneys and flues, which burned out $125,OOO,- 900 of wealth from 1915 to 1920. We can remember not to pile rubbish and litter in our cellars. Rubbish piles cost us three-quarters of a million dollars year. We can banish the open light. We pay a mil lion and a half every twelve months for the privilege of its treacherous inefficiency.

While the suburban developments
Of Washington are reaching farther

is growing by leaps and bounds, ac-

Department of Labor.

The situation in Washington in this

throughout the United States. accord

from official reports from 294 of the

of the District.
So far as the District alone is con.
cerned, however, the trend seems
definite.
Multi-family dwellings constructed
in Washington in 1921 provided for
but 539 families, or but 24.6 per cent
of the total of the new housing ac-
commoGations of that year. The next
year, however, housing for 1853 fam
lilies was provided in apartments. and
in 1928 the number dropped to l,91l,
only to rise again in 1924 to 1881. the
bureaus records show. During the
year 1925 the number of families ac-
commodated in new apartment build
ings here came to 1861 and during
the past year to 4.452.
On the other hand, the number of
families provided with the new one
family dwellings here last year fell
below the figure for the preceding
year, which was the high peak for
the past six years. Starting in 1921.
when 1856 families were provided for
in onefamily dwellings, the number
rose to 2,643 in 1922. dropped to 2,160
in 1928, climbed to 2,7S0 in 1924. and
in the following year showed its great
est gain. reaching a total of 1896.
during 1926 the figure declined to

Construction of new housing ac-
commodations of all types maintained
a high mark here during the year
1926. the report shows, though the
total was considerably less than the
high record of 1925.
The number of families provided
for here during the six years is re-
ported as follows: 2,195 during 1921,
5,266 during 1922. 4.203 during 1923,
$500 during 1924, S,4S6 during 1925

past year also declined from the high
totals for the year 1925, although
maintaining a comparative high level.
