gallons of gasoline had been provided
in five gallon tins Schlee handled all
of these himself, pouring the contents
into the tanks of the plane, while
Brock, aided by Fred Koehler, advance
representative of the flight, worked at
the engines.
AS soon as the pride of Detroit" had
been groomed, Brock and Schlee went
to hotel to have their first real meal
since leaving Maine in the early morn

had sufficed them during their flight
Then, after discussing plans for an

1 R PREVENTION

The institution of Fire Prevention Week" was a wise pro-
vision. 1t serves to remind US of the devastation done by this dread
demon, and to take thought of prevention to just as great an
extent as possible. During the life of the Nation, hundreds, yes
thousands of disastrous CONGREGATIONS have occurred that were
either the result of carelessness o could have been avoided by
preventative measures.
We are very apt to think at once of our vast timbered lands
when we mention fire prevention week" but although the pre-
vention of forest fires is one of the nations greatest problems
fire prevention" should start in the home, in the town in which
you live. Our town, our homes, our business buildings represent
our all to us. We should carefully consider what their destruc-
ton would mean to US, and take every precaution to prevent
their destruction by fire.
Now during the fall season, when furnaces are being fired
when heating plants are once more being placed in service
the fire hazard to the home and business structures of a COM
munity is great. We owe it to ourselves and to our neighbors
To exercise every precaution for the prevention of fire. Trash
should be gathered up, and burned or hauled away. Chimneys
should be inspected and made safe. Proper Insulation should
protect every building from fire hazards, both with regards to
furnaces and stoves, and as to electrical wiring.
There is never any better time to work ~fire prevention
than at the present time. Nt-

COMMON SENSE NEEDED

Agitation is started periodically for a standardized code of

surely. Il ANYTHING needs standardization that has not already
been reduced to that common plane, it is signals of automobile
drivers. No two drivers have ever been known to employ the
same signals.
But such a code of signals, however practical and standard
ized, cannot take the place of common sense, which every driver
was supposed to have been endowed with at the beginning of
his earthly career. The supposed to have beenr will be under
