Wearing a rabbits foot for luck or a bag of asafetida to keep well are superstitions handed down long ago and have no more basis for be- lief than some of our more modern fallacies. Take food for example,: we hear food fads and fallacies ex- pressed on every hand and not in- frequently does a waiter in a restau- rant say, Pardon, but may I suggest that you not order milk if you are planning to eat fish" Silly, isn't it., when we eat fish chowders, made with milk, or crab, lobster or shrimp when served a la Newburg, but shudder if ice cream is served after any sea food. This fallacy Origin- ated perhaps in days before re- frigeration when people who became i'll from eating fish which was not strictly fresh chanced also to drink milk at the same meal.

 You will notice in all these recipes the absence of expensive ingredi- ents.
 One might sprinkle few chop ped nuts over either the souffle or the vanilla cream served with the hot coffee sauce. but that is op- tional. For goodness the desserts do not depend on this finishing touch.

A MIRACLE OF COORDINATION

1t Is strange that there should be an impression abroad
hat railroads are somehow lacking in the ability to work to
gether for a common end of service and economy, - said }. j. Pei
ley, President of The Association of American Railroads, recently
;" Perhaps it is because we live in the midst of a daily miracle of
railroad coordination that We take it for granted and do not no
tee II.
Consider the fact that any shipper anywhere on this con
tinent may today load a car of freight, whether on a team trek,
at a station, or on his own privatesiding; that more than a hun
dred thousand cars will be loaded each day at nearly that many
different locations, and consigned to nearly one hundred thous-
and different destinations that these ears will be marshalled
in long trains and tonight will be hauled over all this CONT
nent, for delivery to their hundred thousand eonsignees; that
all this is done without further thought on the part of the ship
per, that the coordination between railroads is so nearly per
fct that each Of these cars moves under constant supervision and
control from origin to destination, moving freely and inter
changeabIy in any train, pulled by any engine, or if necessary,
repaired enroute with standard parts at standard costs.
A moments consideration of that free flow of continent
wide commerce demonstrats that it is a daily and hourly miracle
t effective coordination, not planned out all at once in any grand
general scheme, but worked out, bit by bit, by practical rail
road men in the carrying out Of their daily task
The possibility that further railroad coordination may be
desirable should not blind us to the amazing progress the rail
roads have already made. Wonders cannot be accomplished by
some sudden grand general scheme Experience is as nee
as theory. Railroad arrangements can be trusted to take
every conceivable step to improve service.

The National Human Barbecue

In the last p months, approximately 10000 persons have
been burned To death. 0nethird of them were children.
Twothirds Of all the victims persisted in residence and apart
ment fires.
Read that over again. If anything can awaken the American
people to the gravity of the fire problem, that brief statement
should. If you have a strong stomach, think of those 10000
roasted bodies. And then realize that at least eighty per cent OF
fires, big and little fires alike, could easily have been prevented
1t is a human frailty to read such a statement as this, re
fleet for a moment on the horror of it, and then forget 1t with
the mentally made observation that "Well, my home is safe.
Perhaps your home is. But there is better than an even chance
it contains hazards that you don't know about.
An up-to date house is not necessarily a safe house, from
the standpoint Of fire, many a $4,000 mansion has gone up in
flames. Expensive furniture will burn as easily as cheap ftrni-
ture. And the finest interior fabrics and woodwork will burn as
easily as a piece Of cotton cloth and a pine board.
Whether you live in a fourroom bungalow OF a fifty-room
country palace, inspect your property regularly or have 1t in
speeted by someone who understands fire hazards and their pre-
vention. Get the necessary information from your fire depart
ment or a similar institution. Once hazards are found, do away
with them and make sure they do not reappear.
Help reduce the national human varbecue.

AMERICA LIGHTS THE WAY

To read the statements of promoters of political electric
power projects, one might easily believe that the United States
lags far behind other countries in the quality of electric service.
1t is therefore interesting to read an opinion from such a disin-
terested observer as Dean Eric V. Allen of the University of
Oregon School of journalism. He has been travelling in Europe,
especially Germany. In a recent letter appearing in the Oregon
he has this to say:
q am sitting here in not too good a light alternately gaz-
on the other bank~~~~I never realized until this year what an
abundant flood of wonderful electric light every American lives
in. Here we find the little bulbs that save the current and they
are usually hung too close to the ceiling.
ut is not because the hotel rates are low; the Kaiser's pal
ace just across the street are the same way~~~~~~It would take
an awful lot of crystal in the chandeliers to make up for low
candlepower."
This is not peculiar to Germany. In most European countries
electric development has either been carried on by the gov
eminent, or by private groups under hamstringing government
control that took all the initiative out of them-that was not
interested in extending use of electricity. In this country. cleo
tric development has been almost entirely carried ON by private
utilities that had to sell current to exist and grow.
is it possible that some of our politicians are wrong in their
desire to Europeanize the electric industry of the United States ?
Is 1t possible that private enterprise, reasonably regulated by
the states, gives better and cheaper service than a group of bu-
reaucrats interested in hanging onto their jobs and advancing
their own political fortmes2
Maybe after all there is something to the old American theo-
ry of government that encouraging private initiative, enterprise
and ambition is superior to the dead hand of offieialism when it
come to guaranteeing a people a pleasant life, liberty, conven-
fences and happiness. Maybe we had better stick to our time
tested theories instead of going backwards by copying Europ-
can ideas.

100000 MORE ELECTRIFIED FARMS

According to Charles w. Kellogg, President of the Edison
Electric Institute, the miles of rural lines being built by the cleo.
trio light and power companies this year are almost twice the
number built in 1896.
Nearly 100000 rural customers are expected to take cleo
tricity from these new lines. The average cost OF the lines, m
Guiding meters, transformers, etc, is about 1850 per mile.
This should take some of the wind out of the sails of those
who claim that the private electric industry isn't interested in
advancing farm Identification. The truth of the matter IS that
the industry is as interested as he farmers themselves, or the
critical politicians, to bring the blessings Of electric power to a
larger part of the nations farmers. But there are drffleultles
involved that cannot be worked out in a minute.
For instance, the principal cost factor is charges on invest
ment. This years figures show that the combined investment
Of utility and customer averages $476 to get power to a farmer
whose average bill for current consumed, in areas not dominated
by irrigation pumping, is about "a per month. 1t is obvious that
in many parts Of the country economic conditions make it i'm
possible to rapidly extend lines under these circumstances.
Yet the power industry is working constantly on the prob
lem. and it is gong the limit in building new rural lines. 1t Is
cooperating to the fullest extent with the farmer. And the re
suit is that we are gradually attaining rural electrhieation on
a sound basis-on the basis of self-supportng private invest
ments, not government subsidies, charged to taxpayers.

Oyer-cOnfidence-The Motorists Sin

If a 1925 model ear and a recent model were to start out ON
The public is everlastingly indebted to the men who have given
in an ACCIDENT
Probably you will answer, "The old car, with out-moded
brakes, relatively inefficient steering and general inferiority
You are wrong. According to the National Safety Council,
24.79 per cent of the ears now in service were built from 1928
to 1928, inclusive, and they are involved in less than II per cent
of all accidents reported.
Only Is per cent of the ears in service were built in 1885
yet these cars figured in almost "a per cent of the accidents.
This apparent anomaly has an obvious explanation. Drlv
es of the new ears are over-confident. They over-rate the SAT
ETY. factor of better brakes, bodies, steering, lights, etc. Because
a car is in Al mechanical shape, and is more or less new, they
take chances-untl the tragic day of reckoning arrives.
This is not a boost for old cars-many of which should be
barred from the highways, because of mechanical dangers eaus-
ed by obsolescense and neglect-but it is a plea for a different
attitude on the part of owners Of our modern gasoline ehariots.
1t is a sad commentary on these drivers that better cars mean
a higher accident record
Regard your car, new or old, as a potential lethal machine.
It can spread death and destruction when mismanaged. Don't
commit the great driving sin of over-confidence-it end is like
~ to be the cemetery.
