WHAT S22O, ,oOO,O 900 COULD BUY

For the first nine months of this year. the nations es
mated fire loss amounted to about $22000O,000 This
marked 900 advance the loss sustained in
the period last year.
We have become accustomed to thinking in vast
figures these days, and say billion easily than
used say million But the fact remains that $220,
100000 lot of moneyas little analysis will prove
Suppose that instead of burning up that $22O 600 600,
had put to productive What could it have done?
We hear much of the housing shortage in this country
The the god of fire in nine months could
have built $4,000 homes at cost of 900 eachhomes
which would have comfortably housed 100000 to 100000
people. 1":
There millions of men in country who lack
steady jobs Had put that 1920 900 in productive
enterprise it would have given than 100000 men
work for solid year at the rate of $50 month.
Many parts of the country still in need of good
roads, If had put that 1920 900 into road consruc
ton, it would have built A. 900 miles of highway costing
$4,000 per me-a road long enough to go back and

Finally, to give idea of the magnitude of the sum

THE HIGH COST
OF OUR NATIONAL PARKS

Vacationers who have visited any one
Of the vests many national parks, such
as Bryce Canyon, return to their homes
still enthralled by the beauty of the
places-and appalled, by the cost of
accommodations. The house trailer man.
ufacturers have no better friends than
the private corporations which control
hotel and camp accommodations in the
national park areas, because many who
paid s. night for rooms will return
next year or the year after in trailers,
and thumb their nose at the high priced
so-caled lodges.
1t hardly seems fair.
The national parks were set aside for
the enjoyment of the public, because
they are places of beauty. The govern
ment collects 81 from persons entering
the parks, a sum anyone should be glad
to pay. It helps keep up the public
areas. Then comes the rub. The vaca-
tioner. if he has not brought camping
equipment or a trailer, is almost forced
to stop at one of the lodges, controlled
in almost every instance by large corp
orations The fees charged are out OF
sight In one instance, for example, the
minimum for cabin, hardly large
enough to turn around in, is So night.
Meals, if taken at the lodge, cost Sl.oO
a plate 1t is easy to see that the aver
age man with family cannot afford
to stop long. If he does, he certainly
cannot afford to prolong his vacation.
1t is hard to think of a reason justify
ing the high charges. Coupled with the
fact that the parks are set aside for en-
joyment of the public-are, in fact,
owned by the public-it is still harder
to understand.
The federal government, while pro-
ceeding with such projects as the migra-
tory workers camp planned for lmpe-
rial Valley, might we'll devote a portion
of its time to preparing adequate, low
cost camps in its national parks for
the benefit of the new forgotten man"
the average man.
The average citizen does not expect
something for nothing, but neither does
he want to pay lot for very little.

DEATH MAKES
A HOLIDAY

Fifteen thousand persons, munching
hot dogs and Joking over lemonade and
beer, cheered this week when they saw
Rainey Bethea, 22-year-old Negro, drop
through the trap of gallows to his
death in the city of Owensboro, KY. The
Negro paid with his life for an unspeak-
ably brutal crime, the assault and muir
der of a 70-year-old white widow. His
crime was undeniably bestial-but so
was the horrible spectacle of his death.
It is not likely that any of the 15,OOO
witnesses came away better for seeing
the man die.
When the law turns is duty into a
holiday, it presents the opponents OF
capital punishment with their most tell
ing arguments. No normal person can
consider the spectacle of the public
hanging in Owensboro without shud-
der of disgust. Human life is a sacred
thing. even though it be the life OF muir
derer. At its best, an execution IS not
a pretty thing. When it is made into
the excuse for a carnival of the morbid
lv curious, it becomes the most degrad-
ing spectacle modern civilization can
offer
There is the excuse of mob madness
for a lynching, if it can be called an
excuse. There is the justification of old
Biblical law for the taking of human
life in payment for another life, will
fully ended. But there can be no excuse,
there can be no justification, for the
horror of an execution turned into cir
Gus for morons.
Owensboro must have had little of the
appearance of civilization when $4,000
persons cheered the legal death of
Negro.

Organized Safety Council
When a patrolman, Roth was
selected to lecture on safety at the
University OF Toledo, in public
and parochial schools In the
schools, he organized a safety
council, then helped in designing
the national safety emblem.
AS a policeman, Roth started

to the traffic civision, later to
the record bureau, finally was
made a detective. AS a sergeant,
he headed the first radio patroi

now city manager, John N. Edy,
made him a lieutenant.

stern, face. His build is medium,

NEW APPROACH TO PEACE
salinas Morning POST

There is real hope in the statement of For
eign Minister Spaak of Belgium that his govern
ment intends to avoid war at all costs" This is
very different purpose from the one held gen.
orally up to now-to impose peace even at the
risk of war.
Imposing peace has been attempted by
treaties and regional agreements and nom
aggression pacts It has failed because it left
untouched the basic causes of war-distribution
of raw materials, trade, colonies, and SO on.
few governments actually shift the
emphasis, as the Belgian statesman suggests,
and begin to make the sacrifices implied, peace
and civilization will have new chance in the
world. 1t would mean, of course, surrender of
some privileges, power and authority. It would
require sweeping revision of the Versailles peace
treaty.
One wonders whether there are statesmen
big enough to tackle the job peoples intelligent
enough TO support them, and time enough in
the present world agony TO get the thing started
before the feared collapse.

HOLLYW WOOD, Aug. 10. (UP)-
Pandro Berman had to talk fast
to convince hoodoo- worshipper Lily
Pons the starting date of her new
picture could not be advanced a
week to Aug. 13.
A glance at the calendar BRAIN
waved the pint-sized opera singer,
and she rushed into the producers
office with what she thought was
a convincing array of facts proving
the picture couldn't possibly be
success unless it stepped off on her
favorite hoodoo number.
She was born on April 13, set
forth Pons. She started her first
picture, "I Dream Too Much" on
July 13, 1885. On her trip from
New York to Hollywood she packed
13 pieces of luggage, and when she
boarded the plane she found l3 in
the wing numeral.
AS clincher Pons recounted that
she sat in box No. 13 at recent
successful concert in the Hollywood
Bowl, and attendance numbered
26410, which adds up to 13.
Berman countered hastily that 1t
would cost too much to speed the
picture, what with story and cast
incomplete and sets unready, but
the actres couldn't see that mere
money mattered when the right
psychological moment was at stake,
and appeared all set to go into a
tantrum.
Genius Berman came through in
the pinch, however, and pacified
her with a promise that although
the picture would begin Aug. 81,
the camera would roll at l o'clock
in the afternoon, the 18th hour
of the day.
Maureen OSullivan let slip
highly feminine reason why she
won't marry Screen Writer John
Farrow until her current picture is
over.
"It won't be until can get back
into civilized clothes and shop
around for a trousseau," she said.
