'FIRES HURT ALL BUSINESSES
I'm the present economic scheme
of things" says the Modern Fire
Chief, 1--WE live in very closely-knit
and interrelated world. Coopera-
ton is the basis Of our economic
order, which is affected and regulat7
ed by very intricate system OF ex-
change. Each Of us can enjoy sue
cess in the long run, only as long as
the whole system Of things prospers.
Because of this cooperative inter-
dependence any waste of labor or
capital affects each OF us.
KNOWING this to be true, why do
we Americans so complacently re-
gard our annual fire loss as a mat
ter of course-something that only
affects those who suffer fire?
What fallacy it is to believe that
the effects of fire are limited to the
factory or the building or the home
that is destroyed
'What happens when an indus
trial plant burns? Production ceas-
es, and when, work stops, men nat
urally are thrown out of Work.
When work ceases, salaries and
wages cease. Perhaps it soon be-
comes necessary to draw out OF saw
ing accounts and the like. Only the
absolute necessities of life are pur-
chased. The buying power OF the
people is lessened."
The public should realize that our
tremendous direct fire loss OF nearly
5000, 100000 is but small part OF
an inestimable total. The indirect
LOSS in wages, business, time and en-
ployment is great additional burd-
en- that must be borne by all OF us.
and which is not insured,

Prohibition and religion have been
ruled out as Republican campaign
issues, though Republican orators
will be free to use them, provided no
responsibility is attached to the can
didate. and the national headquart-
ers. This was revealed on Friday
by DR.. Hubert Work, chairman OF
the Republican National Committee
and, by virtue of that, office-man-
eyer of the Hoover-Curtis campaign
DR.. Work definitely placed the ban
on these much-discussed subjects
when he amplified a paragraph OF a
letter sent to all national committee
men and national committeewomen
advising them that one of the out
standing issues of the campaign
would be the tariff and the full din

no OBSERVE ARMIsTICE DAY

A committee is to be named soon
by the department of Massachusetts
of the American Legion for the pur-
pose Of devising ways and means OF
conducting a suitable celebration OF
Armistice Day in Massachusetts, this
year, according to Department Com
mander John w. Reth.
The day will be observed in the
state on it's tenth anniversary for the
first time as legal holiday, the
present sessions of the Massachusetts
legislature having approved the
Massachusetts Legion's Armistice
Day holiday petition. The petition
was backed by the names OF $4,000
registered voters. The vote in both
branches of the legislature was over
whelming in favor of the law, which
also was approved by the Governor.

WOMEN In SPORT

Commodore w. E. Longfellow of the

deep-sea monarch yesterday and gave
an amusing account of the history of
swimming, declaring that the sport was
first developed more than $4,000 years
ago when the cave men in their re-
treat from wild animals took to the
water. In their efforts to run under
water they developed the first SWIM
ming strokes.
Wine merchants. he declared, pro-
duced kicking strokes similar to those
used in the crawl and for treading
water. for while they supported their
kegs by their hands they propelled
with their feet.
Roman soldiers are credited with
developing the side stroke, according to
the commodore, while David Cavell in
vented the crawl without the use OF
the feet.
Rosedale girls demonstrated old and
new fashioned types of swimming
wearing some period" costumes of the
seaShore as feature of their demon
stration. Those taking part were Ger
trude Haigh, Rufina King. Hazel Mar
tin, Shirley Davidson, Helen Courtney,
