Carbon monoxide gas never strikes

1t is a great temptation, these cold
mornings, to tarry a few moments in
the closed garage and warm up the

this temptation is not resisted can be
told by the increasing number of

NOVEMBER has been character
lied by about two weeks of very
mild, even warm weather, following
a period in late September and the
early part of October of days so cold
that many people started furnace
fires, which were not needed when
: the temperature rose. There will
probably be other periods of day
or two at time during the autumn
when there will be the kind Of mild,
calm, hazy weather that is popular
ly referred to as "Indian summer"
There is an erroneous popular be-
lief that Indian summer is a definite
period occurring more or less regu-
larly every autumn. This idea is not
based on accurate meteorological OBJ
servations, according to the Weather
Bureau of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Indian sum-
mer is the name applied in this
country to a period of mild fall wea-
ther following a spell of unseasOn- |
ably cold weather known as "squaw
winter" such as has recently occur
red. AS a matter of fact, Indian
summer is not a fixed season in the
calendar, but varies in date and dur
alton. In many years it is intermit-
tent; that is, there may be several
Indian summers in one autumn
Strictly speaking, Indian summer is
not a season at all, but merely a
type of weather in contrast to the
usual weather for fall or early win
ter. Thoreau, in notes on weather
conditions, at Concord, Mass, from
1851 to 1860, records the occurrence
Of Indian summer on dates ranging
from September 27 to December 19.
In Europe as well as in this coun-
try it is popularity believed that a
Of mild weather occurs ev-
cry autumn, and the dates of its
occurrence are more def
litely fixed than is the case in Am d
'rica. The period is associated with =
he names Of various saints who y
AVE fixed dates in the ecclesiastical v
alendar. The mild period is ac- a
ordingly known in different parts Of "
Europe as "St. Martins summer" 81
t. Luke's summer" or "St. Mich N
ELS summer" and tradition fosters 81
le idea that it is always mild and ai

ers and publishers want the govern
ment to stop selling a commodity
commercial printing-which is avail
able in the local print shops without
5 placing orders with the Government
Post Office. That Mr.. Hoover recog-
nized the peril of these bureaucratic
tendencies in relation to the press is
. Enthusiastically shown in excerpts
! from his speech in New York City,
October %.
Every expansion of government
in business means that govern
ment in order to protect itself
from the political consequences of
its errors and wrongs is driven
irresistibly without peace to great
er and greater control of the ma
tiOn's press and platform. Every
step of bureaucratizing of the bus
mess of our country poisOns the
very roots of liberalism-that is,
political equality, free speech, free
assembly, free press and equality
of opportunity"
Equality of opportunity is all that
the press is asking for in the enact
ment of legislation-that is, we be-
lieve we should have equal oppor-
tunity of competing for the printing
of envelopes in each community. We
resent propaganda of government
bureaucrats in the Post Office De-
partment circulated among citizens
patronizing this government agency ]
selling printing. This paternalistic ]
deliberately misrepre- {
sents the printers of the country and t
terms them "profiteers" because they f
cannot compete with government s
prices. President-elect Hoover has g
this bureaucratic misrep- e
against the press of the i,
again in his New York t,
speech when he said: S
1.-THE government in commercial n
business does not tolerate amongst il
its customers the freedom of COM k
petitiVe reprisals to which private o.
business is subject. k
Bureaucracy does not tolerate
the spirit of independence; it tc
spreads the spirit of submission tv
into our daily life and penetrates te
the temper of our people not with v,
the habit of powerful resistance to h,
wrong but with the habit of timid tn
acceptance of irrestible might. M
Competition is closed by bur- be
eaucracy. W
Bureaucracy is over desirous W
of spreading its influence and pow Vi
er." he
1t should be borne in mind that al
/ instances where citizens of this fe
patronize the govern Al
tent and place their orders for
rinting with the Post Office De- ur
they are encouraging gov ad
,nment competition, which a ma
Drity of American voters have un- MI
condemned. The princi- tn
lie of unfair government competi- is
on with private enterprise is not de
l abstract proposition, but a real tn
'oblem which is brought to your ac
yn door step if you continue to buy tn,
