troys hopes, ambitions. opporluni-

smoking ruin as grim as if bombs
had been the instruments of 6estruc-
tion. 1t strikes when we least eX-

This year, as in every year for two
decades, a detinite date has been set
for declaring war against fire. The
mobilization days are October s to

Week.
During that period every citizen
in the land will be given an unrival-
ed opportunity to learn about fire,
and how it may lie prevented and
controlled. This is no dry-as-dust
subject. 1t will be taught to you vi
wildly and dramatically. Approach it

DESTROYER OF JOBS

Fire is a great and ruthless de-
stroyer of jobs.
AS Safeguarding America Against
Fire, observes, Crowds watching
fire roar through a huge midwest
ern factory were thrilled by the
spectacular play of the flames as
they engulfed the building, and the
stubborn battle of the firemen. &.
The employees of the plant who
came to the scene on the following
day were not thrilled by the smoul-
dering ruins. They now saw what
had actually taken place. They re-
allied that their jobs had burned
up!"
The loss of job is a major ira
gedy to the Individual involved.
And it is a community tragedy as
well. Everyone is directly or indi-
rectly affected When men are
thrown out of work. their purchas-
ing power stops or is vastly reduc-
ed. That means less business for the
corner grocery, for doctor, lawyer
and candleStick maker. 1t means
that bills cannot be collected, and
that rent goes unpaid. In many cas-
es where men cannot find new job
they must apply for relief, and be-
come burden to the taxpayers.

National Defense

National defense requires a bal
anced Federal budget. This is as
evident at the present time a. the
need for an adequate army and navy.
Our grossly unbalanced budget
coupled with an unparalleled nation
al debt of nearly $45 900. 100000 is
an open invitation to trouble. 1t is a
critical weakness in our first line of
defense which the best military stra-
tegist caunot overcome. 1t is up to
the people-and the politicians they
elect-to either raise more money
through broadening the tax base, or
economic by trimming non-essen-
tial government services.
And again it must be emphasized
that economy in government starts
at home. Local business men, civic
organizations, men Of affairs in
small communities who bear modest
responsibilities. will have to lead the
way. Projects (tinancsd with Fed
eral money, of courst) TO build
parks, bOulevards, auditoriums, pa
latial schools, swimming pools, sew
er5, etc, etc, all of which should be
paid for by the loca! community en-
ioying them, will have to be fore
gone in favor of national solvency-
and national defense.

THE BANKS ARE SAFE

The banks of America are safe
and they are managed with remark
able efficiency and economy. That
is the substance of recent statisti-
cal study of the experience of state
chartered banks last year.
The income Of these banks was
lower than during the year before,
which was to be expected in the
light of the decline in general bust
ness activity. However, the institu-
tons net income were relatively
stable in relation to gross income.
In only one small state was a net
loss for the year shown.
1t is also significant that dividends
paid were less than half of those
paid in the United States. It is diff
ficult to think of any conceivable
protection for the depositor that has
rot been in effect for many years.
During the depression we heard a
great deal about bank failures.
What few of us understood was the
fact that in the overwhelming per-
centage of, instances the depositors
ultimately got their money, 100
cents on the dollar with interest.
The number of bank failures in
which loss to depositors did occur
is so small as to be significant. In
every banking activity. the welfare
of the depositor is given first con-
sideration.

Right Colors for Curtains and sIipcovers.

"DEAR MRS. SPEARS: I have

rections for slipcovers are so clear
in the sketches that I have de-
cided to cover my living room fur
niture which consists of a daven-
port, a club chair and a wing
chair. l would like to have your
suggestions for colors for these
and for curtains.
With this letter there was a de-
tailed description of the rug in the
room. There have been a good
many letters of this type lately, so
I am showing you here how to
analyze the colors in figured
rug and use them as guide in

1t is not important that the rug
color scheme be followed exactly,
but do make a little chart of the
rug colors as shown here at the
left. If you do not wish to repeat
the background color for your
walls, use a pale tone of one of
the other colors. A stronger tone
of any color in the rug may be-
come your accent color.

Hot Weather Hint.-Take adj
vantage of the cool night air to
stay the heat the next day. Leave
all windows open in your house
at night except those closed for
safety. Early in the morning close
all doors and windows and keep
this cool air in, and the hot air
out.
Fruit Stains. - Rub powdered
borax on fruit stains; then pour
boiling water through the fabric
before washing and boiling it.
Turnip Sauce.-Here is splen-
did substitute for horseradish
sauce. Scrape a white turnip very
finely. Make some mustard with
vinegar. Mix the two and add a
little salt and pepper.
Coffee Hint.-Should coffee not
be freshly ground, place the re-
quired quantity in a pan and shake
over a low heat for a moment be-
fore infusing. The flavor will equal
that of newly bought coffee.

ed out that black bass do not spawn
until water conditions are suitable,
and that the male bass guards the
nest until the spawn hatch. While
the nest is guarded, the male fish is
in poor condition, is easily caught,
and his capture means the destruc-

until the spawn is Matched is highly

But she finally solved the prob
lem very cleverly we thought. She
had the entire room, fireplace and
all, painted white, which with one
brave gesture put the cobblestones
in their place, making them recede
nicely into the background. Then
Ethel could go ahead with the room.
She made bright yellow curtains of
theatrical gauze, got soft blue tex

furniture. Furniture coverings in
homespun yellow cottons and striped
