WAR WITHOUT PROFIT WILL
ASSURE PEACE, LEGION
HEAD SAYS

Frank N Belgrano, Jr., national
commander of the American Legion,
forecast that the present Congress
would pass universal service law
to make war IAN improbable bust
Addressing district conference of
the Legion, he told members you
can count as won" the Legion's long
battle to have capital and industry
conscripted on the same basis as
manpower, with special preference
and profit for none"
when that law becomes effec-
tive," he declared, this nation will
have taken the longest step in the
direction of peace in it's history.
Let us hope that other nations will
follow our example.
when war ceases to return big
profits to sslec. few, war will
cease to exist. When the profiteers
realize that war will cut their divi-
dends instead of increase them,
there will be lot less talk about
war and more talk about peace"

WHY NOT TRY BEING FAIR?

The inconsistency of political at
sacks on the rate structures of cleo
trio power companies, is simply
astounding. These vicious attacks
are witnessed from California to New
York, and from Maine to Florida.
The enemies of the electric COM
panies are taking in lot of territory
when they try to lead the people to
believe that state regulation has
broken down and that. hundreds of
highly intelligent public service COM
missioners have all been unfit for
their positions of public trus..
AS matter O 49, state regula-
ton under publ : Service commits
sions has not broken down and is the
greatest safeguard the public has to
assure a square deal for both The
electric consumer and the investor.
Municipal electric plants and gov
ernment-owned power plants claim
the right to exemption from state
public service commission regulation.
For the protection of the taxpayer
and the ratepayer, publicly-owned
plants should be as strictly regulated
under the same formula as are
privately-owned plants. for it is yet
to be demonstrated thai political
appointees who operate publicly
owned plants, are any more honest
or efficient than the managers Of
private plants, or that there is any
less need for regulating them in the
interest of the public. than there is
of regulating private plants.-Indus-

Frozen Water Pipes
A Winter Fire Hazard

Many winter fires are caused by
ill-advised attempts TO thaw frozen
water pipes.
A burning match, torch or open
flame of any description should never
be employed for this purpose. To
wrap the pipe with oil-soaked rags
and set them on fire. is, in certain
surroundings, worse than folly.
Recommendation
Wrap the frozen section of the
pipe with cloth and pour hot water
upon it (even if the hot water must
be obtained from a neighbor) until
the ice in the pipe gives way. Cloths
on the floor at the base of or under
the pipe will absorb the waste water.
A portable electric heater may
sometimes be helpful in warming the
pipes and their surroundings.
If the freezing is too severe to
yield to this treatment send for a
plumber.

PUBLIC INDIFFERENT ABOUT
AUTO CASUALTIES

A few months ago a great passen-
ger liner burned at sea, with loss of
life totaling about 150 Recently
crack Canadian passenger train tore
onto a siding and telescoped a ''holi-
day special" A score of people
died.
Each of these tragic incidents was
headlined in newspapers throughout
the civilized world. Millions of peo-
pie were literally horror-stricken
Public and private bodies immediate
ly started inquiries in an effort to
fix the blame and punish those who
were guilty. The whole force of
public opinion. backed by the au-
thority of the law, determined that
everything be done 20 make certain
that there would be no more similar
accidents.
Yet those killings, horrible as they
were, were infinitesimal compared
with a form of accident which the
public accepts with complete indif-
ference-the automobile killings.
Last year, incompetent, reckless or
careless drivers, and pedestrians ac-
counted for killii Tevery is min
utes, and an injury every 81 seconds.
The year showed record killing in
the United States of $4,000 and an
injury total of 100000. What
would the public have done If the.
railroads and steamships had killed
36, 900 persons in one year?
Practically every accident, wheth-
er it results in. killings or only in
scratched tenders, is the result of
the human element. Ninety per
cent of automobile drivers are safe,
careful and competent. Ten per
cent are reckless, careless or incom-
pe.ent. And that ten per cent
menaces the lives. health and prop
erty of us all.
If one steamship accident or bad
railroad accident, killing compare
lively few people, causes revolu-
tionary legislation to protect the
public, what should be the safety
program resulting from $4,000 auto
mobile killings in one YEAR,

And the back lane, to place to stop,
Grandmother led the gladstone trip.
With little tot whose hand did grip.
Ger beaten paths, well trodden down
BY their return, the cousins Brown.
Aunt Sarah came the beaten way
To mothers home, was fond to stay
And cheer the aged one with gay
Account of what had passed the day.
Before she came, and back each day,
To fill the time she was away.
So did the joyous years pass on,
Till health and strength were almost
gone.
The cousin Browns our trips enjoyed,
A youthful playmate glad to see.
Their outgrown playthings well pre-
served
Again brought out in ecstasy.
From Cherry Grove to stay all night
A frequent trip to our delight;
When horse and rider, DER the floor,
Went back and forth to stable door
Shot paper birds from back of chair.
Get to your tasks" in accents rare,
Said Uncle Job with stern commands,
And grease your boots" with supple
hands.
Then apples ate in much content,
And off to bed unwilling went;
To kitchen attic boys retreat,
For capers rare and slumbers sweet.
And in the morning at the stair
Called Uncle Job with vigor rare
Boys, boys, boys!" yes o, the coldr"
The nest to leave took courage bold.
The buckwheat cakes done to a turn
Our fancy took, and soon did learn
Which butter plate was in reserve
For "Pappy's" use, none else did serve.
The old-time kitchen of the Browns,
Was like the early pioneers
Game bags and guns bedecked the
walls,
And horns of powder also there
The front door creaked, the iron latch
clanked;
At front of stove sat Uncle Job
To tend the fire on winter nights
And whittle at a splint of wood. q
The brick pond skating sport ran high,
And box-traps set, were watched near
by;
The rabbit hides all stretched and
dried,
The Christmas candy wants supplied.
The stone-walled graveyard over
grown
With briar- bush as time had flown.
To Grandpap Browns we went nearby
And looked for rabbits on the sly
Poor Grandpap Brown with groan 90
my!
In much discomfort to our eye.
Grandmother Brown in rugged health
From her forebears she had a wealth
From records old, which it appears,
Her grandmother lived a hundred
years.
The Browns were numerous of old,
And surnames added also told,
Which John was meant, also what
Jake,
Or sportive turn the joke would take.
At Townsend's there lived Corner"
Sam,
Nearby him Uncle Allen Sam.
Linen" Sam, named for summer wear,
And Red" Sam, called from shade of
John wv" Brown, the joker known,
And wood-pfle worker, Stove wood"
John,
And Grandfather Brown with honor
known,
Received the title Smoking" John.
The "Jakes" too numerous to name,
And James" one of the first in fame,
And how confused the names were in.
We call to mind the Candy" jim
o! joyful are the thoughts that come
OF visits with the cousins Brown,
And happy are to meet today
With all who do their honors pay
