SAVING LIVES AND DOLLARS

During Fire Prevention Week, which is observed from Oct.
ober 4 to 10 this year. every effort will be made to instruct the
public in the elimination of fire hazards. Newspapers and per-
iodicals will publicize the week. Insurance organizations are
giving every effort to make the week a success. Fire prevention
organizations are sending speakers about the country. Fire mar
shals and fire departments are cooperating.
But all of this work, no matter how aggressive and we'll
planned will fail unless the public does its part to cooperate.
Fire prevention, like accident prevention, is largely an in
dfvidual matter. 1t l. impossible to do away with the multiple
hazards found in the average home unless the owner takes an
interest and it is impossible DO eliminate industrial fire hazards
unless factory arrangements help to the extent of inspecting
their factories and enhsting the interest and aid ofworkmen.
During the Week, every person in this country should give
an hour or two learning the simple Lessons that, if remembered
and followed will prevent most fires. It will cost nothing-and it
may pay tremendous dividends in life and property. Some of
five minutes.
Every town government should carefully inspect its public
buildings, especially schools, during the Week. Cases have been
found where new and expensive school buildings presented a
large number of grave hazards. Fire in a school is the most hor-
the worst fires start from hazards that could be corrected in
rible of alas a long list of disasters that snuffed out thous-
ands of young lives witnesses.
Remember the dates-Oetober 4 to 10. 1t should be regard
ed as both a duty and a privilege to take advantage of the Week
and join in the war against fire.

NO MERCHANDISING MONOPOLY

Some observers, asked for their opinion on the chain store
question, have said that they believe the chain system is sound
and benefeial-but that it may in time breed monopoly, and
it may be necessary to regulate the chains in some manner
Fortunately past experience shows that there is very small
chance of any group, even though it wishes to, achieving a mon
opoly of the necessities of life. Today chain systems face the
stiffest kind of competition-not only from independents, but
from other chains. If any chain attempted to effect an unjusti-
fled increase in prices, it would see its customers disappear
overnight-the store next door or down the street would get the
business. Furthermore, when a retail business becomes too big
it loses efficiency. 1t develops more and more overhead costs. And
small retailers then find it easy to undersel the ''big fellow"
1t is possible that there are good arguments for regulating
chain systems. But it is a fact that regulation, necessarily ad-
ministered as it is by political groups, can defeat its own pur-
pose-proteetion of the public. 1t tends to become inelastic and
overly stringent. Thus, regulation of chains, instead of keeping
prices down might drive prices up, to the detriment Of the con-
sumner. N
Free competition is the best regulator of all. Proof of that
lies in the fact that the avrage chain grocery systems net pro-
fit is only three or four or five per cent. 1t must operate ON an
extremely small unit profit, and trust to big turnover to keep it
out of the red. In late years, Independents have grown in num-
bers and size, and they are giving the chains plenty of competi-
ton. There is no monopoly in merchandising, and there won't
be.
The Omaha guide., 1936-10-10
INDEPENDENT MERCHANTS IMPROVE
SERVICE

A recent national query asking the opinion Of rural editors
on the chain store question, brought forth a large percentage
of replies to the effect that chains are not a curse to the indepen-
dent grocer, but an aid. Reason: they have shown him how to
better his service to his customers, have forced him to get on
his toes" and adopt moder merchandising methods, and have
demonstrated to him the merits of mass buying.
Experience throughout the nation proves this. The growth
of the chain system has been paralleled by the growth of vol
untary buying organizations made up of Independent merchants.
These organizations can and do buy as cheaply as any other or
ganization. They cut costs all along the line. And they place
goods on the storekeeper's shelves at the lowest possible prices.
1t is a matter of fact that a hundred Illustrations could be
cited where independent merchants have run chains out of busl
offering lower prices, or by giving better service. And
imitless illustrations could be cited where chain and indepen-
dent stores exist side by side, each catering to it's trade and each
This kind of competition is sound. 1t keeps merchants-chan
and independently to date. 1t protects the interest of the con-
sumer-which, after all, is the most important matter at stake.
it gives the American people the highest standards of mer
service existing in the world.

TEACHERS HANG ON

Teachers hold on to the lie insurance they buy more than
any other occupational group, according to G. F. Cross, Second
Viee-president and Manager ofAgencies of the Lincoln National
Life Insurance Company of Indiana.
Teachers lapse their life insurance at only 30 per cent of
the normal rate. BY comparison, life insurance on professional
men is lapsed at 70 per cent of normal, ON business men at 10
per cent ofnormal, ON office employees at 112 per cent of nor
NAL, on farmers at 14 per cent of normal.
The splendid record made by teachers in holding to their
life insurance is doubtless due to various factors. For one thing,
income of the average teacher, while small, is relatively certain
and immune from wide annual deviations, making it possible for
him to figure his potential commitments with more than ordi-
nary accuracy. But, equally important, it is undoubtedly true
that the school teacher, concerned as he is with social and eco
monte trends and facts, has more than the ordinary realization
of the value of life insurance. He appreciates its worth as a
protection and as an investment for attaining self-earned so
cial security And when he buys a policy, he does everything in
his power to keep it intact.
The Omaha guide., 1936-10-10
FIRE LOSS G A RISING

The national fire loss, according to the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, is again on the rise. During the first five
months of this year, it was some $%20,O00,0O0 in excess of the loss
experienced in the same period of 1895.
1t is p%ossiblethat part of the increased loss is due to the fact
property values are somewhat higher than they were a year
ago, another part to increasd industrial activity, which nat
uraly increases fire hazards. Even so, Americas fire doss is no.
thing short of dsgraceful, and it is a black monument to human
earelessness, human ignorance, human Incidence.
Tt cannot be too often repeated that at least eighty percent
of all fires, minor and great, are preventable. The fire that con
sumed a splendid home could have been prevented had wiring
been checked and repaired-the fire that destroyed a church
could have been prevented had the heating plant been proper
erly inspected-the fire that destroyed a factory could have
been prevented had inflammable liquids been properly stor-
ed and handled. So it goes, down the whole gamut of fire. The
inevitable fire, that nothing could have prevented, is as rare
as hens teeth.
This summer, as usual, the country has undergone a num-
Der of serious forest fires. More viii come before the fall rains
set in. The great human causes of such fires are sparks from
faulty smokestacks, donkey engines, careless disposal of smok-
ing materials, and ignorance as to building and extnguihing

MILLER
WRITES
(For the Literary Service Bureau)

Make Miller: Please give me
your best advice. I am 43 and have
never been married. The man | love
is 45 and we both want to get
married, but this man says he
wants ito be a father and if I don't
have a baby for him he will have
to go outside and find one. I would
not want that and yet I am afraid
that [ am too old ito have a baby.
What would you advise in a case
of this kind?-Sylvia.
Sylvia: This is a serious pre-
dicament, but There must be a way
out. Better go to a reputable doctor
and present the ease to him. Wo-
men of your age have been mothers
and done well, but, it is a serious
risk. I think, if this man loves you
he will sympathize and marry you
without the povise. However, if the
doctor adversely, I think you had
better not take this man. Surely
you will find another who may not
be so exacting.-Maxie Miller.
