When The Mercury
Drops. Firemen Sweat !

Strange as it may sound-the col
der it gets, the hotter the firemen
and insurance adjusters become!
That heat, of course, is not caused
by the weather; it is brought about
by more work.
Statistics compiled by The Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters
reveal that severe winter weather
causes an epidemic of fires. II is not
difficult to see why this is so. In an
effort to be comfortable, people
force their furnaces TO the limit and
also use makeshift heating agencies.
Under these conditions, it is natur-
al for more fires to break out and
this means more work for the fire
departments and more losses for the
insurance companies to adjust.
Hence there is an extra amount of
work for all who handle the reports
and other matters incident to the
claims.
II you don't want your house to
become so hot that you have to park
outside, you should exercise the ut
most care in operating your heating
plant-especially when the mercury
drops to low Temperatures. Far bet
ter to take more time for increasing
the heat in the house. than to suffer
a destructive fire from an overheated
stove Or chimney Forcing" a fur
mace is definitely dangerous.
A little time spent inspecting a
heating plant is a good step. too. If,
IoF anV reason Vou do nof feel that
absolute safety is assured, you will
do well to call in a heating expert
and follow his advice.

The test of any candidacy is
fitness-whether the candidate
by character, experience, inteIli-
genee and soundness of views de-
serves support
While we have had MANY ex-
eellent women candidates for Of
iiee we have had some who were
no better than undesirable men.
Why should their sex outweigh
their fitness.
Much more important than or
ganlzing the women 10 vote for
women candidates is 20 organize
them to support sound candidates
of either sex pledged to a con-
structive platform.
The Republican party, so far.
has been remiss in this condition.
1t has failed to see that it can
and should make a special ap-
peal TO the WOmen-that never
before have been issues which SO
closely affect the women of the
gance and reckless experimental
tiOn which the New Deal has
forced upon us.
The women Of the country are
the ones who understand most
keenly the evils latent in the
New Deal policy of price raising.
Every time the housewife buys a |
pound Of bacon or a dozen eggs,
she measures the effects of the |
New Deal ON her purse.
The increased taxes which the
New Deal IS heaping on an un-
suspecting people mean that the
American women will have less
TO spend for food, clothes and
other necessities. Taxes. in the
final analysis, come out of the
pockets of the consumers, and
the higher the taxes of all sorts.
the less the consumers can get
for their dollars because the lar

The women know in their
hearts that borrowing is no way
to achieve prosperity-that ex-
travagance- and waste will never
cure us of our economic ills.
They are by nature the con- ,
seFvors Of America. They know !
that it is better to build wisely
while living within ones means I
than TO spend what one has not n
earned and may never have.
To date the Republican organ q
ization has made a number Of ii
gestures to the women of the a
country. 1t has appointed COM a

to do and only scant encoufaee-
ment from The Republican or
ganizati0n.
Some Of them, formed info
such groups as the Women's ia.
tional Republican Club, are do-
ing valuable educational work.
Individual women throughout the
country are fighting Valiantly-
sometimes to the annoyance of
the regular Republican leaders
who fear that the women may
undermine their entrenched hold
on the organization.
But many thoughtful ana for
ward looking women feel such a
sense of encouragement that
they are putting their time and
strength into civic and non-par-
tisan organizations and not into
the framework of party politics.
This is largely due To the fact
they are not willing to form a
following because they have no
real voice when candidates are
being chosen and policies decid-
ed upon.
A vast task of mobilization re-
mains to be done. Never before
have the women OF the country
so strongly supported the ideals
for which the Republican party
stood in its earlier days.
Women are not FeactiOnaries,
but they are opposed to further
experiments.
They are not blind conserve
tives, but they are opposed to
waste, destruction, extrayagance,
taxes and the raising
of prices.
They are not rigidly against
any and all changes in the con-
but they object to the
subtle undermining of the Ameri-
can form Of government by the
New Dealers and they distrust
the semi-sOcialistic devices of
the Tugwells and other brain
If the Republican high com
mand is wise It will take special
steps to organize the women OF
he cOuntry-not as mere voters,
lut as active leaders and partici-
pants in the campaign. II the
for their part, are wise,
hey will gladly cOoperate-but
on condition that they
lave a large say in the naming
# candidates as well as in help
ng to select them.
In the past the women have
een expected to help deliver the
TOtes in their district. This is
seful and important work. But
ven more important at the mo-
nent is that they use their inlu-
nee to see that for Congress as
lell as for the Presidency the
party choose candi-
ates because of their special fit
ess.
Il is far more important that a
lndidate for Coneress-Or for
Ie Presidency - have courage
I'd character than that he have
record Of answering party re-
ID is Of greater mo-
ent that candidates be known
have intellectual independence
ian that they be known to be

Give the women larger say In
