CHRISTMAS FIRE HAZARD

Despite all that has been written
and spoken on the subject Of exer-
cising special care i'm the matter Of
celebrating the festival of Christmas,
each recurring year records numer-
GUS instances of saddened homes
where fire, due to the ignition of the
tree or its decorations, destroyed =
home, not infrequently accompanied
by the sacrifice Of lives.
More than ordinary care should be
exercised in setting up the tree.
which should be firmly set in stand
provided for that purpose SO that it
cannot be easily toppled over. Under
no circumstances should it be placed
near stove nor in proximity to gas
lights. Only non-combustible ma
terial, such as metal tinsel, flake
asbestos and powdered mica( for
snow effects) should be used for
decorative purposes.
Attaching candles to the branches
of the tree for Illuminating purposes
has been responsible for many seri-
Gus fires. A much more common and
safer plan is to illuminate the tree
by means of small colored electric
lights, care being taken to see that
the wiring is properly installed.
From a decorative standpoint, q
colored spotlight focused on the
tree is very effective and is the safest
method of all.

TWO ROBOTS WILL COUNT
CARS ON STATE HIGHWAYS

The Minnesota Highway depart.
ment installed two automatic traffic
counters, one near the junction of T.
II. Nos. and Tat Owatonna and one
on T. H. No. 3 near Elk River. The
mechanism is set into the pavement
slab, and any vehicle passing this
point, summer or winter, day or
night, will be counted. The records
thus obtained will show how traffic
at various times of teh year COM
pares with the annual traffic counts
taken each summer. Daily readings
will be taken.
A few motorists, apparently fear
ing that the device records their
speed or that it would have some
harmful effect, have turned out and
therefore not been recorded. The
contraption is perfectly harmless and
motorists should go straight ahead
as if it were not there.

BUREAU ACCEPTS
TASK OF MAKING
DOLLAR "HONESTo'
National Farm Federation Says
Fair Tariff or None; Board
Control Demanded

Returned to office by the unanim
Gus vote of convention delegates, Ed.
ward A. O'Neal, of Alabama, will
serve as president Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation for the com.
ing year. A. J. Olson, of Renville
president of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau, remains a director of the ma.
tional federation. The convention
which closed in Chicago on December
10 was marked by the adoption of re-
solutions that chart the course of the
Farm Bureau for the coming year.
and point out ways in which leaders
and rank and file have to bring about
better conditions for their business
and social life.
The eyes of all leaders present
were focused on The agricultural
marketing act, which was thought to
need considerable improvement be-
fore it will give to agriculture the
service it was meant to furnish. In
sistence was made that the act be
strengthened by the adoption of the
equalization fee or some similar
means of handling farm surplusses.
Of particular significance was the
resolution that demanded of the
Farm Board that in the development
and administration of cooperative
marketing organizations, the general
farm organizations be properly re-
cognized. 1t was lack of such recog-
milton that caused the Minnesota CO.
operatives and the Minnesota Farm
Bureau to petition to President
Hoover and Minnesota Congressman
to change conditions that have arisen
because of the Farm Boards policy.
Want Honest Dollar"
Recognizing the need for establish
ing an ''honest dollar" in order that
rapid fluctuations in the values of
money may not occur again, the Farm
Bureau went on record for increasing
the circulation of money and for the
restoration and future stability of
price levels. Detailed plans, having to
do with federal reserve system regula-
lions, rediscount rates and eligibility
provisions were presented. 1t was
set forth that the federal reserve
board should be empowered and di-
rected to raise 70 lower reserve re-
quirements of Federal Reserve banks,
and to raise or lower the price of
gold, as conditions warrant.
The full force of the Farm Bur-
eau's tremendous power will be used
to obtain tax justice for farmers.
Tax reform will be urged through the
income tax system, which the feder-
alton has championed from the start. |

CAUTIOUS DRIVING
IN WINTER URGED

A warning to motorists to be on
the lookout for slippery roads during
the winter, was issued this week by
the Minnesota Highway department.
A great many accidents, some seri-
Gus, were reported after the sleet
storm which hit a large part Of the
state Thanksgiving week. Most of
these could be avoided with careful
driving.
Maintenance crews will sand or
cinder slippery places as far as poss-
ible, giving attention first to curves,
hills and intersections, and as much
more area as time permits. But u.s.
ually sleet and frost come so quickly
and cover so much territory that it
is physically impossible to sand or
cinder the entire distance. The only
remedy is careful driving.

Department. And finally the space
north of the Commerce Building has
been cleared of its theater and other
structures to become park.
All this has indeed kept the dirt n.y.
ing, and will keep it flying for weeks to
come. But there is to be more Of this
work, to complete the job OF clearing
away all the private constructions on
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue,
between the Capitol and the Treasury.
The truncated site Immediately west OF
the old Center Market space, where the
Coast Guard building is to rise, is to
be cleared. And the areas east OF that,
to the end of the triangle" will be
swept of their present occupants. The
square between Pennsylvania avenue
and Tenth, Eleventh and c streets will
also be cleared free of buildings at once,
though not required for the continua-
ton of the Internal Revenue structure
until the old Post Office, replaced by its
successor on the west, Is razed, per-
haps two years hence. These razing
works will be pressed as speedily
as the legal processes of acquiring title
and possession are effected. and the
entire space will thus be smoothed and
made ready for the builders or for park
treatment.
The decision thus to complete the
demolition work in the triangle, re-
gardless of the urgency Of the construc-
ton program, is prompted by desire
to get the unsightly relics CT the old
Washington out of view for the Bicen-
tennial year, when it is expected great
throng Of people will visit the Capital
Pennsylvania avenue will not be in its
finest form, for construction works will
be in progress, but the snags and
wrecks and shabby souvenirs Of the
past will have disappeared, and every
thing in sight will be trim and neat or
will present evidence. Of the great Cap

balances, hurrying in response to calls,
shrek for right Of way. The fire en-
gines and rescue squad apparatus bel
low and scream for room. Motor car
drivers toot and hoot with little cause.
From buses come screams Of warning.
There is not minute of calm or rest
for the ears and nerves during the
working day. Even in the residential
districts needless noise resounds con-
tinually, If not from the streets, then
from radio loud speakers turned on full
and left going Throughout the day.
This din is unnecessary. There is no
need Of all the bangs and cras hes and
screams and howls that arise to belabor
the ears and rasp the nervous system.
Much of this noise is just a matter OF
habit and Is largely a matter of indif-
ference to the feelings and sensitive
ness of others. The street car motor
man, of course, cannot control his
trucks or the rails over which he passes.
but he can lessen the banging of his
gong to the point of absolute need to
give warning to needless pedestrians.
The fire engine and ambulance drivers
can reduce their siren screams to the
point of requirement to announce ap-
proach to congested point. The pri-
vate motor drivers and bus drivers can
correspondingly subdue their demonstra-
tions Of speed.
1t is really relative, after all. If every
body is making a lot OF noise the
necessary blasts Of horn and scream
Of siren to tell the world that an
emergency vehicle is on the way must
be pitched at the loudest point and
made continuous. If there were less
noise in the streets fire engine or
an ambulance could get right of way
with much less demonstration.
Police vehicles are particularly OBJ
noxious noise makers. There is moth
ing more clamorous than a police car
in hurry through the downtown
streets. Even a motor cycle policeman
manages to make a din that puts him
for few seconds out in front in public
notice. In very few instances is there
any warrant for such tremendous speed
and such hideous noise.
Corrective attention to the running
gear of the street cars and to the
tracks and switches over which they
pass would certainly lessen the volume
of needless sound that now makes
Washington such terribly clamorous
city. Strict orders to policemen, fire.
men, ambulance drivers to keep their
boots down to actual necessity would
help everybody, themselves included.
Let there be action to this endl Let
there be peace in Washington!

To show emotions Is against their
tradition, too.
Hence the actor, who displays them
on the stage, and the writer, who puts
them into a book. are looked up to by
the great mass of the people.
It Is not alone for vicarious expert
ences that the huge number Of readers
OF fiction turn to the novel, What
, they desire there, even more. is the
expression OF inmost thoughts and ex-
periences.
Perhaps that is the reason that the
totally plotleSS story, as such things
go, can be quite as satisfactory, to
good reader, as the most charted, the
most intricately plotted, story in the
long history of novel writing.
Such works give readers, for the time
OF the reading, Q genuine sense of
being articulate, in the best senSe-that
is, of being able to say what should
be said, at the time when expression
is called for.
There are few persons, indeed, who
have not had the experience of think
ing the bright remark, the proper
words, some hours after the occasion.
Every one can do that. 1t is COM
mon knowledge, however, that one
them at all, If one is not able to think
up the bright reply at the very time
1t Is demanded.
What is the good, then, of knowing
what ought to be said, in any given
situation, II one lacks the courage of
statement?
There are many kinds of courages, in
the experiences of living; the courage
OF proper expression, at the time de-
manded, in the tone or spirit demanded,
Is one of them, and one which not all
OF us even begin to live up to.
+ 4
There is great good, however, in
knowing what ought to be said and
done, in any given situation, even If
one is not able to put it into words or
deeds.
1t is simply that such knowledge,
even If uneXpreSSed, enables the holder
to appreciate, not only the great works
OF art, including music and literature,
but to know righteousness and justice
and honesty and kindness.
This Is why. 1t is better to know, and
yet be inarticulate, than not to know,
Is 1T for man to know what to say,
and not say it, than to say the wrong
thing at the wrong time.
x X X
Another phase of inarticulateness Is
the physical inability of SO many vocal
chords to give sentences the proper
sound.
The great Stevenson, most un-Vic-
torian of all Victorian writer's, speaks
OF being able to read certain poems of
Walt Whitman so as to be able to bring
tears to the eyes of listeners.
The late Enrico Caruso, it was said,
possessed the ability to so read a bill
of fare that intense emotion was aroused
in the minds and hearts of his hearers.
The child is blessed who is born with
this gift; and his parents are extremely
sensible If they induce him to learn it,
| if he is not born with 1t. For some of
it can be learned, and every person
ought to possess the knowledge.
Contact with other human beings Is
the fate of all. and no one should be
handicapped by the common fear, seen
on every side, of speaking in public.
Every boy should be taught to talk as
easily on his feet before an audience as
he can at home with his family. Every
man should be completely articulate.

Making the Dirt Fly.

The phrase, making the dirt fly"
expressive Of vigorous enterprise in the
prosecution Of a public work, has lit
orally applied to the several steps OF
the great program of Government con-
struction in this city for number OF
months. Dirt has been flying in
volumes, physically, as old structures
have been razed to make room for the
new housings for the Federal service
units OF administration. Several sites
have been cleared. Two have been
built on, the structures for the Com
merce Department and the Internal
Revenue Bureau having been completed.
The site for the Archives Building has
been fully prepared and is ready for
the excavators. That for the Justice
Department Is nearing readiness, only
q few more of the old structures re-
manning for demolition. The Labor
Department site is in process OF prepa-
ration, and will shortly be available for
foundation work. The ground for the
extension Of that structure, which will
provide housing for the Interstate Com
merce Commission and also an audi
toriun for Government use, Is about
to be cleared, and a contract is soon
to be let for the clearing Of the north
eastern corner of the same section Of
the triangle where the new Post ONCE
Department will rise. In addition
clearance is soon to be made Of the
land lying behind the present District
Building and former Southern Railway
office, to become the grea: central plaza
