FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
COMES AGAIN

Within a few days-between Octo-
Der 9TH and 13th-Fire Prevention
Week will be observed again. The
week, which has become a national
custom, will be formally initiated by
proclamations by the President, gov
errors of states, mayors OF cities and
other prominent persons in public
and private life.
During the week every citizen will
have a splendid opportunity to learn
the fundamentals of fire prevention
and control. Through speeches,
newspaper and magazine articles, ex-
hibits and other means, an intensive
effort will be made to enlist the cit
liens interest. He can blame no
one but himself if he fails to learn.
Fire prevention is civic duty
every citizen owes to himself and to
every other person. We all pay for
fire-we pay for it in lost business,
destroyed jobs, higher taxes and in
surance rates. On the average, each
family contributes $500 year as a
tribute to Moloch-dollars which
are destroyed as surely as if we toss
ed them into to a stove. Worse still,
three people-two adults and a child
out of each $4,000 of our popula-
ton, are sacrificed to the pagan god
because we are ignorant and care
less when it comes to fire.
In the past, it has often been the
experience that fire losses dropped
during the week and for short per-
iod thereafter, only to rise again as
the public gradually forgot the in
formation cleaned This year we
should look forward to the week
and devote a little time during it to
really learning the fundamentals of
fire prevention, then remember and
practice them in the future.

SCHOOL AHEAD-SLOW DOWN

During the summer months those
warnings you see on country roads
and in city streets, School Ahead
Slow Down." or school Ahead
Watch Quit" mean little to you.
You know the buildings are closed
and the youngsters scattered to all
points of the compass, and you con-
tinue your speed without slackening.
Now, however, those signs have a
grave Significance. Throughout the
country, thirty million children have
again picked up their textbooks and
readers and are busy at their school
work. The signs are vital warn
ing to all motorists to watch out for
the youngsters.
In spite of the efforts of school
authorities and safety workers, au-
tomobile casualties still account for
more child fatalities than any other
accidental cause. Last year, 400
boys and girls of school age were
killed in such mishaps, and many
thousands more were injured, ac-
cording to figures supplied by the
National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters.
The evidence underlying the sta
tictics appears to place the blame
heavily ON motorists, for the young
sters have shown remarkable abil-
ity to watch out for themselves by
observing safety rules and principles.
In five years, for example, while
motor vehicle accidents involving
adults have increased "a per cent,
those involving children have de-
creased 20 per cent.
1t has been said that the achieve
ment in the schools is the brightest
spot in the entire safety movement.
Children can be taught to respect
and obey the rules of governing
their own conduct in traffic, but they
are helpless if careless motoristsr e.
fuse to cooperate.

FORD SAYS WHAT GOES On In
WASHINGTON OF NO GREAT
IMPORTANCE

Henry Ford in an article (for the
American Magazine) declared that
what "goes on in the capital is of no
great importance, one way or the
other" W lse 'eAS
"Some people say that the polltl-
clans in Washington are saving the
country" wrote the industrlallst.
"Others say they are running the
country. l don't agree with either
..My belief is that what goes on in
the capital is of no great importance.
Laws do not save country. we
are too strong and resourceful peo-
nile to be hampered much by legisla-
ton. Nothing can hurt the United
States"
And in these words Mr.. Ford, one
of the nations greatest mass-produc-
ers, dealt with SURPRISES and over
production:
"Most people think nowadays OF
the surplus as an evil. 1t is said to
break the market. 1t drives down
prices. Therefore, they say, the sur
plus should be destroyed, and the
future production of the commodity
strictly limited.
"This view, I think, is shortsignt-
ed and mistaken. The surplus is
really a blessing in disguise. 1t
places pressure on the ingenuity OF
man to discover new uses for the
commodity. Once those new uses
are discovered, the apparent surplus
adds to the wealth and comfort OF
human life."

DuPONTS FOUGHT ARMS
EMBARGO

Opposition to an arms embargo res
olution, proposed in the Senate by
Senator William E. Borah in 1882,
was led by the Dupont De Nemours
Co., of Wilmington, Del, evidence
presented before the Senate NUM-
tions investigators at Washington
revealed.
The committee was told the firm
had solicited support in opposing the
resolution, introduced by Borah at
the request of then President Her
bert Hoover, from high officials of
the War and Navy Departments. The
measure eventually was "filibustered
to death by Senator Bingham" &C
cording to Senator Bennett Champ
Clark, Democrat, .Iissouri.
The committee heard testimany to
the effect that the Dupont Company
was party to an agreement with
Imperial Chemicals Industries, a
British concern, which provided that
the world would be divided in two
sections, one for each firm, and pro-
fits on all business would be split.
Evidence that the Dupont Com
pany, which rolled up wartime
business totalling $1,245,000,00O,
had strongly protested Federal
munitions levy during one of its
most prosperous years was placed be-
fore Senate investigators.

Timely repairs and improvements
are essential to the modern farm.
They enhance it's efficiency, improve
its appearance and increase its mar
ket value
There are many improvements
that can be made this winter when
other farm work is not pressing, and
which may be paid for, if cash is
lacking, with the aid of the new
seasonal payment loan system Great
ed by the Federal Housing Admins
tration. If farm property is check
ed now many dollars in costly re-
pairs may be saved later on.

IN THE MARKET AGAIN

With the cooler weather on the
way, housekeepers who are looking
for something to tempt the family
appetite can breathe sigh of relief
now that oysters are in the market
again. Served raw, on the half
she'll in appetizing cocktails, or
teamed, stewed, broiled, fried,
sscalloped in deep baking dishes,
hidden away in crisp pie crust, or
looking forward a bit-holding
place of honor as filling for roast
turkey, they are sure of welcome
III their own, whether they grace
he festive board or the everyday
table.
In preparation for the oyster sea-
son, the proprietors of oyster-hand-
ling concerns throughout the State
were notified, during the summer,
by Mr. A. L. Sullivan, Chief of the
Bureau of Food and Drugs of the
State Department of Health, of the
requirements which must be met for
shucked and canned oysters in order
that the product may be accepted for
sale or shipment within or without
the State.
Certificates granted by the State
Department of Health to the con-
Germs by which these requirements
have been met, expire at the close OF
each season, and must be renewed as
The season opens. The certificates
are renewable and remain in effect
when inspections show that the oper-
ators have complied with Federal
and State regulations. A number
which is registered with the State
Department of Health is assigned
each certified concern and every can
or receptacle shipped out by that
concern has the registered number
stamped into the container.
In directing attention to the sani-
tary requirements, Mr.. Sullivan en-
phasized the Importance of thorough
cleanliness for each establishment,
and of specific regulations with re-
gard to sound flooring, proper light
ing and ventilation, an adequate
water supply and facilities for the
sterilization and care of equipment
and utensils; provision for adequate
toilet facilities, soap and towels for
the employees. The importance of
careful handwashing, personal clean
!iness and freedom from catching di-
seases on the part of employees was
stressed, and employers were notifi-
ed that medical examination of
shuckers should be made before they
are taken on, and that unless other
wise notified certificates would be ac-
cepted from physicians employed
last year.
Concerning the requirements, Mr..
Sullivan said: 1.-THE oyster industry
is one of the most important we
have in the State and every possible
effort is made by State, Interstate
and Federal authorities to protect
the sources of the supply, prevent
the pollution of streams in the neigh
borhood of the oyster beds and to
advance the interests of the industry
through the regulations now in eff
feet. Because of the severe winter
last years output was considerably
below normal. We are looking for
ward to more favorable season this
year"
Mr.. Sullivan strongly recommend
ed that consumers and retailers buy
from certified concerns.

3. True. 1t seems certain that the
rootstock has little or no direct in

stocks may be killed by low winter
temperatures, and the secondary death
of the scion follow, while other root
stocks may survive. Furthermore, some
rootstocks may favor more early ma
turing of the scion tissues in the fall
and thus oppose possible injury from
an early drop in temperature before

NO MANAGER

Residents of the Priest Rapids valley are proud
of their district they know the possibilities of a
splendid agricultural project here, and appreci-
ate any recognition afforded this district by
other community.
For that reason everyone in this was
pleased to the fine write-up given this valley
by the Wenatchee Daily World, and the Spokes-
man is glad to be able to make public acknowl-
edgement of the fact.
There was one inaccuracy, however, that we
cannot allow to pass unchallenged: The statement
that Marvin Chase is manager of the local irriga-
ton district. The reason for this naccuracy I'M
doubtedly, is that no one in the Wenatchee valley,
any other irrigated section of the state for that
matter, conceive Of an irrigation district with
out a manager.
At no time, however, has this district since be-
ing purchased by the landowners, had the services
of a manager. True, MIR. Chase spent number of
years here receiver of the project, being re-
tanned by the federal court, but the project, at
that time, was not owned by the landowners. Since
the irrigation district acquired the properties he
has acted as consulting engineer in the improve
ment OF the power plant, and later retained by
the state to supervise the installation of the new
turbine.
What is needed by the district is man who
can devote his entire attention and efforts to
building up the district; to developing the ditch
and laterals that farms of the district can
be irrigated from the ditch, and to reducing the
maintenance charge through economical distrbu-
ton OF the water.
TO accomplish this, man must be sought who
knows nothing Of the peculiarities Of this valley
There are several factions within the district, as
is only natural, and successful manager must
be able to map out a program with no regard to
the policies or desires Of amy particular group
This calls for a man who is unacquainted with the
district, but who has had sufficient experience
with other districts to full y understand the work
The Spokesman has no axe to grind in advo-
eating the employment of manager by the dis
t1ict. We know that manager will be able to
accomplish great deal in developing the district
to a point where the maintenance charge is low
cred to few dollars per acre. and we believe that
many OF the landowners agree with this theory.
AS to the personality Of the manager, however,
we have nothing to say beyond the fact that no
man who has been previously connected with the
district should be employed in that capacity.

HOW TO REMOVE PAINT
Washable Goods

Equal parts of turpentine and am
monia will take paint out of clothing,
no matter how hard or dry the paint
may be- Saturate the spot two or three
times, then wash out in soap suds.
Nom Washable Goods
Patient rubbing with chloroform will
remove paint from black silk or any
other goods, and will not hurt the
most delicate color or fabric.
To Remove Gum
Rub the gum out with pure mineral
oil, then remove the oil by placing a
blotter under the spot and sponging
with cleaning fluid. This will not harm
either the color or fabric.

MILLER IS SEEN
. c. D. P. CHOICE

With all other Statewide Re.
publican and Democratic primary
candidates apparently picked, l.
terest in the Maryland political
situation centered today on the
Republican senatorial contest,
since the winner in this race PROB
ably will have to be named at the
g. o. P. State convention next
week.
Governor Albert c. Ritchie was
strong winner over DR.. Charles
H. Conley, of Frederick, for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation. Harry W. Nice will face
him as the Republican choice for
governor, and George L. Radcliffe
finished stong as Democratic sen.
atorial selection.
The Republican senatorial pri-
mary returns, however, has turned
into an interesting battle, with
Joseph I. France drawing 23.053
popular votes and IS convention
votes; John Philip Hills, 20,46l
popular and A convention votes,
and c. Wilbur Miller, 1927 popu-
lar and IS convention votes.
This situation pointed to the
probability that Mr.. Miller will
be named the nominee when the
convention meets a
week from today since he will
have to find only 10 convention
votes to assure his nomination.
