WHAT GOES UP IN SMOKE

Every year in the United States
fire CONSUMES property valued over
half q billion dollars. 1t is an i'm
possibility for imagination to appre-
ciate adequately the magnitude OF
such waste A recent news item
adopts the excellent method OF dr1v-
ing home the lesson by practical ex-
ample.
With five hundred million dallars,
four hundred mile paved road
could be built at a cost of $4,000
per mile. and a $1,000 house, con-
tanning $4,000 worth OF furniture,
erected every 100 feet on both sides
Each house could have an operating
fund Of $4,000.
Further, it would build a $500
garage for each house and place a
$4,000 automobile in each garage.
And after all this was done, there
would still be several millions left
over that could be distributed among
the occupants for spending money.
The estimable value of practical
IRE prevention is well brought out
by this example. 1t is public and
personal duty. not to be avoided
Anything we may do to help abolish
FIRE waste will pay us large dividends
In both comfort and cash.

FRIDAY, JUNE is, 1928

All eyes this week have been turn
ed toward Kansas City, where the
Republican National Convention is
holding the stage for the purpose OF
placing in nomination G. 0. p. pres
idential and e-presidential candi-
dates, to be voted for at the general
election in November.
Pre-convention predictions and in
dieations seemed to point to Herbert
Hoover as the probable selection OF
the convention, with the vice-presi-
Dental possibility hardly mention.
Truth to tell there seems to be a
woeful lack of real interest on the
part of the public in general as to
the convention, nor is there any real
outstanding political leader in the
party, who has much following. in
fiuence or personal magnetism to
sway convention. Any one Of q
dozen men might be mentioned who
aspire to the leadership, not one OF
whom measure up to the require
ments.
In reality the disposition OF the
general public in present day poll
tics seems to be to let the other fel-
low run things. The public mind
nowadays runs more to automo-
biles, apparently, than any other
one thing.

PUBLIC HEALTH ASPECTS OF
THE DRUG STORE

Inspection Of retail drug stores
throughout the State, in connection
with the regular duties of the
Bureau Of Food and Drugs pf the
State Department of Health, disclos-
ed some violations of the State Phar-
macy Law, but the conditions re-
vealed were for the most part salts
factory, according to recent report
of DIR. Robert L. Swain, Deputy
Food and Drug Commissioner. The
inspections of the last two month";
have been made in Anne Arundel
Baltimore, Caroline, Dorchester.
Frederick, Hartford. Washington
counties, and in Baltimore City. In
connection with them, 227 establish
ments were visited.
In commenting on the findings
DR.. Swain said that the purpose Of
the inspections was stwofold. First
to see whether the provisions of the
Pure Food and Drug Law regarding
the quality and Standardization OF
the drugs dispensed, were carried
Iout; second, to see whether the pro-
visions OF the Pharmacy Law, which
requires the employment of register
| ed pharmaciststhat is, graduate
and duly licensed pharmacists in
the prescription departments Of all
drug stores, were being observed.
.In Maryland he continued
Pharmacy has gained recognition
as factor in public health. 1t is
recognized in the makeup of the
State Department of Health and the
enforcement of the pharmacy and
drug laws has been placed in the
hands of the profession. To the in
formed, such an arrangement is az
it should be; but it must be remem-
bered that it carries with it re-
sponsibility not only to those en-
trusted with the work, but to the
profession. The duty of perform
ing its work as effectively as possible
for the public good. is placed square
ly up to the pharmacists of the State.
They must measure up to their re-
sponsibilities as important health
agencies.
I'm the surveys and inspections of
retail drug stores, the detection and
prosecution of violations OF the law
was, and is. by no means their chief
purpose. Rather, it has been to as
sist in correcting those conditions
which might furnish basis for pub
lie criticism that pharmacists were
not meeting their responsibilities
under the law which recognizes their
work as important to the public well
fare.

PURE CARELESSNESS CAUSES
MOST ACCIDENTS

Ninety, per cent of all industrial,
home, street and highway accidents
are from trivial causes.
Major violations of the law and
spectular acts of criminal negligence
produce but a small fraction of the
total number of deaths and in5nries
that occur annually" declared Mar
Gus A. Dow, eminent safety engineer.
Boards left lying on factory
floors with nails sticking up in them
cause moro serious injuries than
boiler explosions. In private homes.
more people are killed and hurt by
falling down stairs than are killed
and injured in fires.
eThe majority OF street accidents
are caused by little acts OF thought
lessness, rather than by drunken
ness or other violations Of the law
in driving automobiles.
Al careful analysis or street and
highway accidents shows that about
IS per cent are caused by backing up
carelessly to get out Of parking
spaces. Failure to get under proper
control when approaching street in
tersections causes another Is per
cent. Following too close behind a
vehicle to allow proper braking dis
lance accounts for IL per cent OF &C
cidents. Improper signaling causes
10 per cent, and skidding eight per
cent. Miscellaneous small acts OF
neglect cause 80 per cent, while
drunkenness and other violations OF
the law cause only 10 per cent Of ac-
cidents.

LIEBER LASHES
AT BILLBOARDS
Chicago Advertising Agency
Refused Endorsement.

When E. L. Ballew of the Out
door Advertising Agency, 6 North
Michigan avenue, Chicago, sought
the opinion of Richard Lieber, head
of the state conservation depart
ment, regarding the use of bill
boards along streets and highways
he failed to secure an Endorsement
His company is engaged in cree
ton of standard billboards through
out the country.
In answer to Ballew'S inquiry,
Lieber sent three-page letter
roundly condemning billboards and
asserting that for the most part
they are unwanted. He even cited
authorities, such as municipal or
dinances and civic club action.
Briefly, Lieber's opinion regarding
billboards, is contained in the fol-
lowing paragraph from the letter:
"BillboardS along our highways
are not only a blot on nature-no
matter how skillfully eXecuted-but
they are highly confusing to the
driver, if not direct menace to his
safety and that of the other occu-
pants of the automobile.

Hamilton Predicts
Farm Majority for
!, Walter E. Maddox

Prediction that Is per cent of the
farmers vote will go to Governor
Walter Maddox was made here to-
day by Senator Dave Hamilton of
the 34th district.
Hamilton made a personal tour of
his district to determine how Mad
dock and Shafer compare and to de-
termine how the vote on the nation
al election would 60, he says.
He believes that about IS per cent
of the real" Nonpartisans of his
district will vote for the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate and that
Maddox will be elected by q good
margin.
The problem of getting out the
farm women vote is one that is per-
picking political leaders throughout
the state, he said, pointing out that
although the women living in the
cities usually 10 to the polls to cast
their votes, the farm women who
live some distance from the voting
headquarters are inclined sometimes
to neglect the matter.

States army has never visited Bis
marck. . =,
General Summerall will arrive in
Bismarck for the first time next
Monday and will spend the day max
ing the acquaintance Of Bismarck
people and inspecting Fort Lincoln
and its personnel.
The reopening Of Fort Lincoln aft
er it had been deserted by the regu-
lar army 20 years ago was part OF
General Summerall's policy of put
ting the regulars" in posts more fit
for habitation than the wooden bar
racks which were used for . mum.
Der Of years after the World War.
It is believed by local members OF
the reception committee that the
Generals visit will have q great deal
to do with the proposed stationing
Of a regiment here. At the present
time, only one battalion OF the fourth
infantry is stationed here.
Bismarck is honored by the visit
Of General Summerall," . member Of
the reception committee said today.
"He is the highest ranking officer in
the United States army and is su-
perseded in authority only by the
secretary Of war and the president
of the United States"
Arrangements were being perfect
ed today to handle the crowd which
is expected to greet General Sum-
neral on his arrival 1T the Northern
Pacific depot next Monday morning
at $3.50 o'clock.
