States Bureau Of Standards says in q
recent report. And this does not in
clude the fire damage where the cause
was only suspected to be cigarette smok-
ing, which In 1927 amounted to more
than 100000 nor does 1t include
the losses from grain fires started in
the harvest fields by cigarette smoking,
for which there are no accurate figures
available.
But in 1927 more than $4,000 fires are
estimated to, have been caused BY
smokers in the forests of the country.
The situation in this field Is SO serious
that the forest service has closed large
areas Of national forest land to smok-
ing during the hot dry season.
So the Bureau Of Standards has
asked the manufacturers to find out II

effective method of educating the pub
lie would be to put a warning on cigar
cite packages, or on advertising
matches. This, at least. would give an
immediate warning to millions OF
smokers to be careful.

There does not seem to be any let
I'D in the number of new labor-saving
machinery inventions. In fact, the
number Of patents being asked for Is
increasing in this field. Offhand, one
would say that with the installation Of
such machinery a great deal OF I'M
employment would naturally result.
A worker with new machine often
can produce five times as much in the
same length of time as formerly. It
looks as though this condition would
force more and more unemployment.
Yet It does not seem to work that
way. The amount of products con-
sumed in the world Is never constant.
It increases year by year. There Is no
reason why this percentage Of increase
should not 20 on indefinitely. At least
no one yet has been able to say just
when the increase will stop. Machinery
lowers production costs and thus slim
ulates the demand for more goods and
labor.
Science and invention in industry have
brought about other great changes.
With the advent of the telephone, the
telegraph owners were in CONSERVATION.
They feared it would supplant the tele-
graph completely. Nothing like 1t has
happened. Each today supplements the
other. kilograms by the thousands are
received and delivered by telephone in
their local cities.
In the early days gas and electricity
fought each other. Gas was then used
mainly for illumination. When cleo
tricity came along, the funeral process
sion started. But it did not last long.
Now neither worries about the other.
Why? Because gas is used largely in
industrial heating and cooking now.
Gas enthusiasts-and the number is
growing-predict that the use of gas
has Just begun. The oil companies are
spending more and more of their re-
search money in the field of gas. The

COTTON WORKERS RESUME
Laborers in Lancashire Return
i Pending Arbitration.

MANCHESTER, England, August 10
R.-.Lancashire went to work today
after three weeks of paralysis of the
cotton industry. The drone Of ma
chinery as 100000 mill hands resumed
their tasks, and smoke pouring from
tall chimneys all through the factory
towns proclaimed the end of the stop
page that cost workers and employers
many millions of pounds.
Only the card rooms, where workers
are to return tomorrow, were silent.
The wage dispute which caused the
stoppage Is in the hands of a board of
arbitration whose deliberations begin
Wednesday. /.
Meanwhile workers will be paid the
old scale Of wages until settlement is
reached. A proposed reduction of the
present scale by 1914 per cent caused
the cotton workers to quit three weeks
ago.

INCREASED TRAFFIC
PERSONNEL URGED
Senator Hastings Stresses
Need of More Policemen
and Bureau Men.

Believing that the actual working Out
of particular traffic problems should ot
left to the traffic officials, Senator Has
tings of Delaware, chairman OF the SEN
ate subcommittee which held hearings
on the subject recently, regards an IN
crease in the number of tratflc ponce
men and additional technical men III
the Traffic Bureau as the only recon-
mendations requiring action at Ills
time. -.
Senator Hastings said these were his
personal views, because he has not con-
ferred with the other members on the
subject since the hearings. He expects
to do this soon for the purpose OF de-
Gliding what report the subcommittee
should make to the Senate Dlstrlc'
committee.
Senator Hastings personal view OF
the situation is that TRAFFIC director
Harland is in a better position to de-
termine how particular questions should
be solved, but he believes there Is a
need for more policemept and for ade-
uuate personnel in the Traffic Bureau.
A considerable part of the hearings
was devoted to consideration of the
parking problem, following the sugges-
ton advanced by Senator Kean OF New
Jersey, who felt that there was need
for further restriction on longtime
parking on busy streets.
Senator Kean has been studying the
report submitted a few weeks ago by
Traffic Director Harland. Senator
Hastings plans to confer with Senator
Kean regarding the recommendations
to be made by the subcommittee.

Cost of Pilgrimages

The cost of pilgrimages of
widows and mothers to visit the
graves of World War veterans in
France was estimated at S.
$50, 900 in a communication sent
to Congress by Patrick j. Hurley,
Secretary of War.
Hurley wrote that II ,440 moth
ers and widows were entitled to
the trip, but that only 6,730 had
indicated desire to go. In this
number, 1923 of them have ex-
pressed wish to go during 1880
and the remainder in 1881.
Although strenuous efforts have
been made to locate all the
mothers and widows, Hurley said
replies to many letters have not

1HE new Ford is more than
new automobile. 1t is the expression of an
ideal-an ideal that looks to bringing the
benefits of modern transportation to all the
people.
Because of this purpose, the price is low
and great care has been taken to insure econ
omy of operation and up-keep. Few features
are of greater importance to millions of
motorists.
Conservative figures show that the new
Ford averages 20 miles per gallon of gaso-
line, with many Ford owners reporting greater
mileage on long trips Oil consumption is
also low per hundred miles. There is con.
siderable saving on tires due to the balance
of the car, ease of steering and perfected
wheel design.
All tires used on new Ford cars and recon-.
mended for replacement are specially built
by leading tire manufacturers according to
specifications laid down by the Ford Motor
Company. Mechanical up-keep is low be.
cause of simplicity Of design and the endur-
ing quality that has been built into every part.

BEAUMONT. Texas, Aug. 24-tP
Seeking two men who slugged
Mrs. Sadie Kinitment. robbed her Of
$40 and threw her from an automo-
bile, officers had only an ephemeral
clue based on telephone calls today.
The calls received by two ambu-
lance companies requesting that
they send machines to the place
where Mrs. Kinitment was found
unconscious were traced to q ga
rage. but from that point on the
g. II had been unproductive.
On her way home from a library
yesterday. Mrs. Kinitment accepted
an invitation Of the men that she
ride, but near her home they de-
clined to let her leave the automo-
bile, taking her instead about five
miles irt.o the country. There they
demanded her purse. Refusing. she
was struck. The woman said she
remembered nothing more Of the
attack.
