A FIRE CONSCIOUSNESS"
NEEDED

All the fire prevention work in the
world on the part of private organ
izations and public authorities can
not attain it's object until the public
learns the lessons Of safety and de-
velops a fire consciousness"
Fire menances every home, every
business, every life. 1t spreads an
unending red path of destruction and
waste across the nation.
The gospel of fire prevention must
be preached continually to the peo-
Pile. 1t is we'll known that old wir-
ing, inferior building construction,
carelessly handled matches ana
cigarettes, oil-soaked rags and such
obvious risks are responsible for a
vast part of our yearly fire loss. Yet
CONGREGATIONS resulting from these
causes persist and, in some local
tiles, increase.
The last two years have seen a
reduction in fire waste. 1t is too
soon to tell whether this is the re-
suit of better public understand
ing of the problem or not. At any
rate, we still have the unenviable
record of destroying more property
and lives by fame than any other
civilized nation. The solution is in
the hands of the people.

No Woman Without Some
Appeal to Masculinity

Almost every woman has something
about her which, carefully nurtured,
will make her seem desirable-not, of
course. to every man in her world.
but to one or two. The charm, which
may be anything from piquant con-
versation to good cooking. will find
appreciation somewhere If 1t be well
displayed.
Men are appealed to through their
vanity and vainglory even more easily
than women. which means that most
men would rather be seen about with
woman who patiently did credit to
their own powers of fascination than
with the worthiest creature in the
world if she had no means of making
the behOlders envy them.
There may be men who dislike mere
filtration, and coldly ignore woman
who attracts them, but you will have
to look for them in monasteries and
other retired places. They are not of
this world.
A man likes to look upon woman
as one who is subject to a hundred
weaknesses and fOliies. and yet re-
mains at heart a stanch friend.

A man falls In love with a woman
who helps him to appear at his best.

MOTORISTS CLASSIFIED

Connecticut's new automobile Ii
ability insurance law has just gone
into effect.
Under this law motorists are d.
vided into five classes. The first
two classes are those who pay the
regular rates of an insurance COM
pany, and those who, because of a
good record, are granted a reduc-
ton in rates. In addition, the state
provides three additional classes, A.,
e and C. In class A are the drivers
who have minor accidents and in
fractions of driving rules. Their in
surance rate is increased 10 per cent.
In class B the rate is increased rs
per cent and includes drivers having
more serious accidents. Glass G is
for drivers involved in highly seri-
GUS and fiagrantly avoidable. acct
dents and calls for SO per cent in
crease in the rate.
The law does not compel motor
list to take cut insurance, but the
state is empowered to revoke the Ii
censes of any who fail to meet judy
ments, do not provide financial re-
sponsibility or are deemed unsafe
drivers. A careful check is to be
kept on motor cars and the insur-
ance companies must file lists and
charge the scale of rates decided by
law.
This piece of legislation is of
course new and untried. However,
it avoids the main pitfalls of uncon-
ditional compulsory insurance, which
makes the careful pay for the reck-
less and has caused such legal havoc
in Massachusetts. High hopes are
held by experts for its success, both
in preventing accidents and in the
secondary duty of indemnifying the
injured.

Infant Identification

Identifying babies is so hard some
times that the authorities of the can

adopted the Bertilon system for new
born babies in order to avoid litigation
concerning the identity of the child In
later years. Babies must be measured.

FIGHT FOR SCENIC BEAUTY

Arrayed against the offending
rural billboards are many organi-
cations cooperating through the
National Committee for the Restric-
ton of Outdoor Advertising. The
General Federation of Women's
Clubs is one; the American Nature
Association is another. The list is
long but it includes every organiza-
ton, in spirit and fact, that has the
real interest of outdoor America at
heart, says Nature Magazine. Added
to this is the large body of morgan
lied and in articulate public opinion
with which no compromise is pos
sible.
However much public resentment
may be aroused and voice found
through organization, the solution
lies through it's translation into law
and ordinance. Much has been &C
complished in various localities, but,
as has been the case before in
Observation-Disclosures is the i'm
mediate battle-ground, says Nature
Magazine. In 1918 the people of
that state declared, by popular vote,
in support of an amendment to their
constitution, that the state should
have the right to legislate to control
billboards on private land. A state
law was enacted in 1920 and in 1924
the Department of Public Works
promulgated regulations and local
communities were permitted to es-
tablish bylaws if not inconsistent
with state regulation.
Another shot was fired in historic
Concord, which tried to enforce it's
local bylaw. The General Outdoor
Advertising Company turned to in
junction and threw the case into the
courts. There it is today, and, after
many delays, the expensive legal
talent Of the industry has completed

Tending the law before the State
Supreme Court. 1t needs the help
of everybody interested in outdoor
America because the fight it is wag-
ing concerns the future of billboard
regulation, on general effective
basis, in the United States.
If the decision of the court is adj
verse to the billboard industry, it is
assumed that appeal will be taken
to the Supreme Court of the United
States. It must be fight to the
finish and, again, no compromise is
possible.
