Puerto Rico is very proud of its

alarming setback which he at
tributed to the war.

A BLOW AT WAR

When officials of over 300 biz in
surance companies gathered in Lon
don recently and resolved that
henceforth no loses will be paid on
property damaged through war, up
rlslngs or revolutions, it was the
hardest blow ever struck at war.
They assert that If big business re-
Allies it is not going to have its
properties and munitions stocks and
war supplies protected, then there
isn't going to be enough profit in
war to warrant the gamble. And
that IS the way lot of citizens
around Kennewick have long felt
about it. Take the profits out of
war and the chance of starting one
will be greatly lessened. When war
begins to flatten instead of fatten
pocketbooks, there will be a more
general demand for peace. The in
surance men have hit the old God of
War an awful rap, and humanity
owes them a debt Of gratitude for
doing so.

MORE MACHINES

A news report out of Chicago is to
the effect that every completing
machine that was on the market
was sold this year and that the
manufacturers say they could have
sold ten times as many If they had
produced them. OF course, there
was a bumper corn crop to be han
died. Then, too, there was a scarcity
OF farm labor-let it be said to the
shame Of a country with such q
vast army Of unemployed. The new
device that gathers the ears, husk
them and then loads them onto q
truck may be the means of solving
the farm labor shortage in the fu-
ture. Many Kennewick citizens,
however, probably will take more
pessimistic view Of it. They will
wonder if this newest labor-saving
device will not, on the other hand,
create a still greater army Of UNI
employment for the taxpayers Of
the county to take care Of. II 50,
then the corn-picker will turn out to
be q burden instead of q blessing.

WHY JUNK TT?

WI OO4N1A IL
This day in time when it's stylish
to be thrifty and the practice of
economy is among our greatest vir-
tues it's hard to understand why
so many are wasting when there is
no occasion for it. For instance,
take the housewife who hauls out
perfectly good furniture, a stove or
other pieces of household goods
that are still serviceable and stacks
the same away in cellar, attic, gar
age or barn when someone in the
community would be glad to have it
at reasonable price. Or the farm
er who does the same thing when he
replaces old implements with new.
Is that economy? There are folks
right around here who would be
glad to get such things If you would
tell them about it. And it would cost
but few cents to tell them-and
sell them-through the columns of
this paper. You would not only be
doing q real service to someone who
could not afford to buy the articles
new that you are practically throw
ing away but it would net you a few
dollars at the same time. It Ger
tainly will beat junking the things
that are still serviceable to some
one.

KEEP THIS IN MIND

Every newspaper in the country
feels it would be remiss in its duty
to its readers if it neglected along
about this time each year to sound
a warning against that deadly
enemy of the motoring world car
bon monoxide gas. The warning is
now timely even though it may be
sounded in words with which Ken
newick motorists are familiar.
To those ignorant Of the deadly
menace it may be said that carbon
monoxide Is nothing more than the
exhaust from an auto engine. In
summer when temperatures are
high the gas passes into the air un-
noticed and with no damaging eff
feet. During fall and winter months,
however, when temperatures are
low, the gas hangs in the air and
its fumes, breathed into the
lungs, has deadly effect. # your
engine is running out in the open
air, then there is no material dam
ger. But If you start your motor il
a closed garage, or permit it to run
in garage whose windows and
doors are closed, then your chance
OF escaping death is reduced to q
mighty narrow margin.
Carbon monoxide is the most
deadly Of all known gases and the
annual toll Of death directly due to
it in this country runs into the
thousands every year. But one pos
tive and absolute protection from
it EXISTS. Never start your motor
during the fall or winter In a closed
garage. Be sure the doors or win
dows are open before you step on
the starter and then do not per-
NIT the motor to continue running
indoors any longer than necessary.
Back the car into the open. You
are taking your life in your hands
when you follow any other course.

WILD OR MILD?

WILD OR MILD?
The returns now seem to be in
and it looks like q tie. About hall
Of the country's amateur weather
prophets are forecasting another
long, hard winter like the nation
shivered through two years ago,
while the other half contends that
time-tried and long-tested signs
all indicate it Is going to be both
short and balmy.
One half says the squirrels are
storing more nuts than usual, and
that means a hard winter; the other
half contends wild duck and geese
did not start south as early this fall,
and that means mild, open sea-
son. Some of them contend husks
on the nations bumper corn crop
are thicker than they normally are,
which indicates plenty of snow and
ice ahead; others assert that moss
Is almost absent from the north
sides Of forest trees, and that mild
winters invariably follow this con-
dition.
And so they go, these amateur
prophets of joy and gloom, about
evenly divided in their forecasts Of
what kind of winter lies ahead. AS
long as they are evenly divided there
is always the chance, Of course, that
half OF them are bound to be right.
But the average citizen around Ken

predictions. He IS putting his house

full. If it is a severe one he is
