Warm weather will come again,
eliminating the heating plant haz-
ard for the time being-but that
doesn't mean that we are safe
from fire. Each season brings its
own hazards, and all are vitality
important. Dry weather bakes
out fields, setting the stage for
disastrous grass fires-and fires
of this character have, on many
tragic occasions, destroyed whole
communities. And dry shingles
are the perfect target for a fire
place or cooking stove spark that
can set a house aflame in an in
credibly short time.
Fire loss is rising, after a period
of years in which it was slowly but
steadily declining. That fact

the dam is shaping up so that the
innocent bystander can get ar
idea of what it is all about. The
gravel toe, which has been com
pleted for the time being, outlines
the northern edge of the dixie
while the core trench which is be-
ing excavated by a dragline ma
chine determines the centerline OF
the dixie. A levee will be thrown
up along the upper edge Of the
dixie parallel to the core trench
and a long trough-like basin will
be ready to receive the dredged
material pumped up from the
river. A small wooden spillway
for the effluent water is under
construction and a connecting
ditch is being dug down a coulee
to provide a drain for the water.
Core samples of the fill placed
in the main parts of the dam last
year have been taken recently
and show satisfactory compaction
so that the piling up Of additional
material can proceed at any time.
At the main spillway east Of
the dam, the Massman Construc-
ton company continues with
overhaul of trucks and shovels
and completion Of their new CEN
trail concrete mixing plant. They
have started to erect the housing
around the outside frame Of the
plant and it will soon be ready for
operation. A small boiler plant
to supply steam heat has been set
up nearby. The first two carloads

HEARST BONUS
AIDPRAISED
BY VETS
BY THE BONUS EDITOR

Among the hundreds Of letters
from World War veterans and
relatives being received by the
Bonus Editor of The Washington
Times are many commencing the
Hearst newspapers for their part
in the final passage of the bonus.
Dozens Of soldiers, sailors and
marines, many of them stationed
at distant points, have written to
declare their gratitude for the
long fight waged by Hearst news
papers throughout the country to
obtain justice for the veterans.
One marine, writing to ask q
question on the status Of his
bonus, ended his letter as follows:
"AfOre power to the Hearst
papers for their campaign. II
is more truth than poetry when
they say that If this country
has got to. spend billions Of dol
lars, why not pass . little Of It
toward the men who protected
the country when it needed pro-
lection" .r
A sailor commented:
"T served during the war, but
have been unemployed lately.
I have long wanted to start .
small chicken farm. because
knew the business and can make
. livelihood out Of il. But with
out the bonus I could probably
never get started.
"NGw that am going to get
about, $750, I can begin. I feel
much Of my good fortune b due
to the Hearst papers, especially
In Washington where the edi-
tOrials did some good"
While most Of the letters come
from veterans who desire informa-
tton, many are purely congratula-
tory, asking no questions.
ANY veteran or relative desiring
data on the bonus should write to
the Bonus Editor, The Washing.
ton Times. Questions should be
definite and specific, and q
stamped, Self-addreSSed envelope
should be enclosed to insure q
prompt reply.
