CONvENIENCES BRING
FIRE HAZARDS

New inventions and developments
designed to make domestic and COM
| rnerciaI life more efficient and COM
fortable often bring with them spe-
ciai hazards. The employment of
knowledge and care TO eliminate
these hazards may be the means OF
saving lives and dollars.
The National Board of Fire TN
derwriters has just issued highly
Important bulletins dealing with two
modern fire and explosion hazards
that can be corrected with relative
ease-odorless gas, and .air-condi-
tionirg systems.
Most commercial gas has dis
tincfive odor and quickly makes its
presence known in case of a leak
However, a few commercial gases
are odorless, and natural gas is all
most completely without odor. When
these gases are used for any purpose
they should be odorized-a simple
and inexpensive process Had the
gas used in the New London, Texas,
school been odorized. il is possible
that the explosion would never have
occurred-the presence of gas would
have been noticed before dangerous
quantities had escaped.
Improperly designed or construct
ed air-conditioning systems, can, if
fire occurs, rapidly fan the flames
until the blaze gets out of control.
This recently happened in an Illi-
nois theatre, where small fire
starting ON the stage was famed to
great intensity by the air-condition-
ing unit, and was quickly transmit
ted to other portions of the building.
The National Boards new bulletin,
which may be obtained by writing to
IS John St.. New York, describes the
best way of eliminating this hazard.
Thus mans most useful mechani-
cal servants can endanger him and
his property. Take no chances with
them-a few dollars spent now may
save thousands, and few minutes
time invested in protecting your
home and place of business may save
lives.

BLOW THE CLOUDS AWAY

H
II. Hobart Porter. utility execu-
tive, recently remarked that the
/ public utility industry is sound and
occupies a position in our economic
structure second to none in impor-
tance. This Is a two-fold statement
of fact that should be- thoroughly
recognized by politicians, big add
little, throughout the nation.
Any housewife will testify TO the
fact that electricity is about the
smallest item in the household bud
get. She, as well as the rest of her
family, will also testify to the fact
that electricity, in the space of a
few short years, has grown from a
luxury to a necessity, and needless
to say, failure of electric current
has become practically unknown.
This would not have been possible
II the industry had not been oper-
ated ON a sound and efficient basis.
The electric utility industry is a
twelve billion dollar Institution Its
securities are held by banks, insur-
ance companies, trust funds, educa-
tional endowments, research foun-
dations, and a thousand and one
other institutions essential to cul-
tured society. Impairment of their
value by political harassment, ex-
cessive taxation, or confiscatory leg
islation and regulation, would be
staggering blow to the entire ma
tion.
Government needs the taxes de-
rived from a healthy and prosper
Gus utility industry. Now as never
before. with governmental overhead !
soaring to new highs, our national
legislators should adopt policy Of |
encouragement toward all Industry, |
for IL is largely from industry that |
must come to run the gov
el fment
The utilities are operating at the
present time under a cloud OF radi-
cal legislation and continuous po-
litical harassment. Until such a de-
structive governmental attitude is
corrected the industry cannot move
ahead normally to new fields of pro-
gressive development.

RehObOth-Ocean City Road

1t Will be a fine thing fol
the Delmarva Peninsula wher
the coast resorts on the At.
lantic Ocean from Bethany
Beach southwark, including
Fenwick Island, are joined by
a shore boulevard to Ocean
City, Md, and possibly be,
yond that point, says the
Morning News:
"The first step naturally
will be to link Rehoboth
Beach, Bethany Beach, and
Ocean City, Nd, by way of
Fenwick Island That the
project is being taken serious
ly by the two states is shown
by two outstanding facts. One
is that months ago the Mary
land State Roads Commission
erected sand fences along GER
tain questionable sections of
the route for experimental
purposes. That fence, serving
as a windbreak, has built up
a long stretch of sand dunes
along the line where such pro-
lection is needed between the
ocean and the route of the
proposed seashore road.
"The other outstanding fact
is that Delaware officials have
assured the Worcester County
officials, the Marylanders say,
that when Maryland builds
the road from Ocean City up
to the Delaware line, Della
ware will extend the highway
between Bethany Beach and
Fenwick Island. From Ocean
City to the Delaware line at
Fenwick Island the distance is
seven and one-half miles.
ut is to be hoped, for the
benefit of both states, that
the joint project will be car
ried out as quickly as possible.

Farm Work For JObless

Idle men who really want to
work, even though they may
be unskilled, may be interest
ed to know that there is a de-
mand for far mlabor through
out the state. The harvest
has started. AS the crop out
look is exceptionally good, op-
portunities for farm work are
better than usual.
Some of the unemployed
men in Delaware may have
had no farm experience. This,
however, need not be a SER
ious drawback for men whose
physical conditions are nor
NAL. Industrious novices can
help with the harvest, even
though they may never have
seen the work being done.
Men desiring farm work
have an excellent chance of
finding it by making their
wishes known to the Della
ware State Employment Ser
vice. Application may be
made at any of the offices, in
Wilmington, Dover, or George
town.

The first obstacle in the road to

Roosevelt's appointment of VIM.
H. HASTE to be Federal judge is
the reported opposition being or
ganized by one Daniel L. H. West
of Minneapolis. No details of Vests
reasons could be learned here. The
Senate judiciary committee will
take up the matter today.
A wire was received Monday
from Washington requesting this
newspaper to furnish Vests record
in Minneapolis. The query was re-
ferred to the Minneapolis police de-
partment. West has a long prison
and police record in Minnesota and
left Minneapolis while detectives
were seeking him for questioning
regarding the disappearance of a
Minneapolis woman's jewelry.
Before his appearance in the
news this week, the last heard of
West was that he was impersonat-
ing as member of the Minnesota
legislature at a Father Divine
meeting and banquet in New York.
West had a checkered career in
Minneapolis where he came after
serving a term at st. Cloud Re-
formatory.
Between serving terms in the
Minneapolis workhouse, West was
constantly filing and running for
political office.

Italy Stung by
World Criticism of
Ethiopian War
ITALY STUNG BY WORLD
CRITICISM OF ETHIOPIAN
SLAUGHTER

Rome = co. Arnaldo Cortesi,
writing to the New York Times,
says Italy has been stung to the
quick by the worldwide criticism
caused by her mass executions in
Adds Ababa, Ethiopia, following
an attempt on Marshal Graziani's
life. At first claiming there was
no serious trouble, and that the
country was well under control,
Italy now says big uprising had
been fomented by Ras Desta, and
that the figures quoted of the num-
Der of Philippians shot were incor-
rect. =
1t is now clear that nobody knows
how many Philippians have been
put to death, as Italy fatty refuses
to say. An official statement from
the Italian government says: "The
figures on the natives shot are no
body's business but our own and it
may be said officially that all those
published so far are completely in
correct and may be regarded as
pure speculation"

chemical Quackery" is the sub
ject which DR.. VIM. Tomsicek has
chosen for discussion at the Halle
@. Brown Forum on Sunday, March
IA. This is a subject about which
we should be interested in learn
ing as much as possible since some
phases of it concern US all. This
topic will do much to dispel our
ignorance about certain "so-called"
patented medicines, etc., which we
are prone to buy quite regularly,
and will show us that advertise
ments about different products on
the market are actually harmful;
and that for other products we are
paying for the container rather
than the product.
DIR. Tomsicek is a professor in
the Chemistry Department. of St.
Thomas College, st. Paul.
Among the products to be dis
cussed at the meeting are: Cold
tablets and headache tablets, re-
ducing preparations, cosmetics, hair
remedies and soaps, hair removers,
soaps and deodorants, tonics, etc.
