PROTECT SUMMER HOMES AND
CAMPS FROM FIRE

The pleasure and profit to be
gained from summer homes and
camps can be trans Or m d
easily into tragedy and loss by fire.
These temporary homes, by their
very nature, call for greater vigil
ance during weekend and vocation
occupancy.
The use Of kerosene for lamps and
stoves is a common source OF fire.
But if a few simple rules are OBJ
served, the danger can be greatly
reduced. Fill lamps and stoves in
the daylight so you can see what
you are doing. Store kerosene and
all other fammable liquids outside
the house. Use tank or drum that
has a drip-proof faucet and keep a
drip pan under the faucet. Never
start or hasten a fire with kerosene
or any other fiammable liquid. II
portable kerosene heater is to be
used, make sure it is one listed by
the Underwriters Laboratories.
Don't m e improper altera-
lions or extensions of electric wiz
ing. Guard against over-heating OF
stoves which are near wood work;
the usual sheet of metal attached to
the woodwork is of little value in
protecting against ignition. Smoke
pipes should not pass through walls
or partitions of wood or with wood
lath.
Burns accumulations of rubbish
and litter in metal incinerator.
When fires are started outdoors
never leave them unattended.
Because summer homes and camps
usually are remote from fire depart
ments, and since water is not al
ways readily available, keep fire
pals and pump tanks or fire ex-
tinguishers on hand and know how
to use them. If there is an ex-
tinguisher in your car, that too al
fords valuable fire protection to the
summer home as well as on the road
or in the garage.
Throwing lighted cigarettes and
cigars out of the windows of your
car as you pass along, may cause
loss of life and property. Use the
ashtrays provided by the car manu-
facturer for disposing Of stubs and
ashes. And be sure you have plenty
of ashtrays around that summer
camp or cottage.
Do your part to protect your life,
your property, and the great out
doors against fire.

Seven in Japan Attain a
Yearly Income of Million

TOKYO.-Seven persons in Japan
have incomes of more than a million
dollars year.
The exact income of the seven
was not given in the finance depart
ment statistics, which showed that
the largest tax-paying group was in
the bracket earning about $500 a
year.
The seven persons in the $1,000,-
100000 bracket are from three fam
lilies, not listed by name, but pre-
sumably the Mitsuis, Mitsubishis
and Sumitomos.
Eight families are included in the
Is individuals earning between $780,
900 and 81 ,000, 900 annually.
Thirty-five families cover the 48
individuals in the bracket between
$275,000 and $3.50, 1000.
The group earning between 1925
and $500 a year is composed Of
34O,872 persons from 1888 families.
Income taxes reach into the low
incomes in Japan and a person earn
ing $27S annually is subject to a
levy of 10 per cent. There are 49,

Long recognized as pioneers in the
development Of lead covered telephone
cable, engineers Of the Bell System
have made another historic advance
with the ma.iuiacture of cable con-
tanning 4,242 separately insulated cop
per wires. Heretofore, the maximum
contained in one cable was 1886 wires.
Despite the increase in the number
of wires, the new cable is no larger
around than it's predecessor, it's diam
eter being exactly the same-2%
inches.
Since the diameter Of each wire in
the new cable is also the same as be-
fore, the feat of placing 606 more
within the same girth was made pos
sible by an improved technique of wire
insulation invented by the Western
Electric Company, a method which
reduced the thickness Of the Insulation
surrounding each strand. There was
thus produced covered wire with
diameter Of $4,000 of an inch, COM
pared to the former diameter of
34/1000. The decrease in each case
was only $4,000 Of an inch but this
tiny saving, repeated 1885 times, re-
suited in total saving Of space suffi-
cient to afford room for the additional
wires.
The use Of a cable core composed
Of wires SO closely packed together

On the Beautiful Blue
Danube Popular Waltz

Probably the most popular piece
of dance music ever composed
known and loved around the world
is Johann Strauss Jr.'s group Of
waltzes called ION the Beautiful
Blue Danube"
One says "waltzes" even in speak
ing of a single composition because
all the Strauss waltzes are really a
series of waltzes in varying keys
and moods. Usually there is an
elaborate introduction, that no doubt
summoned the dancers to attention,
observes a writer in the Detroit
News.
The waltz is the heart and soul Of
old Vienna. There was something
in the very air that swept down
from the surrounding hills and
woods that made the people gay,
child-like and courteous. Lovely vi
emma!
Johann Strauss senior was the
first waltz composer, and then his
three sons, Joseph, Edward, and Jo-
ham Jr. It was Johann Jr. who
earned the title, "The Waltz King
of the World"
He wrote waltzes, waltzes, waltzes
five or six hundred of them. And
he played them all the way from
the brilliant courts of Franz Joseph
(and even of Napoleon in Paris) to
the public parks where the people of
his native Vienna loved to dine and
dance. Naturally each was given a
name-any name, like "Vienna
Blood or ''Tales from Vienna
Woods" "The Blue Danube" has
made that river eternally blue,
though in reality it is blue only if
the sky is in very good humor.
The people have placed "denk-
maP' (think often) of Johann
Strauss Jr. in the city park. Beauti-
full rhythmic figures in stone float
around him, where he seems still
to stand and play his violin.

was in turn made possible by refine
ments in the science of transmission
and In the telephone instrument ITSELF
achievements Of Bell Telephone Lab
oratories.
The first installation of the new
cable took place when $4,000 feet of it,
manufactured at the Kearny, New Jer-
sey works of the Western Electric
Company, were installed by the New
Jersey Bell Telephone Company in the
Jersey City area.
The method of insulating the wires
is in itself a revolutionary develop
ment of the last decade. Previous to
the invention of this process, wires in
tended for cable had been insulated by
wrapping paper ribbon spirally around
them. Then it was discovered that
paper pulp could be formed around the
wire, and now giant machines literally
manufacture thin coating of paper
right on the wire, 60 strands at once,
as they pass through a bath of pulp.
The cable core Of 4,242 conductors is
built up from these individual strands
by first twisting two wires into pair,
then binding 101 of these pairs into
unit. Finally 81 of these units are
twisted together, and the core, after
being dried out in vacuum ovens, is
sheathed with lead that is. forced
through dies under great pressure.

LABOR TROUBLES

A continuous row goes on in
Washington over proposed legisla-
ton to improve the labor laws. Laws
are made for the purpose of furn-
ishing an equal amount of protec-
ton: first-to the public; second
to the workers; and lastly to the
employers. This is easy enough. But
the fact is that the AFofL and the
CLIO are at daggers-p point, and that
one Of them tells Congress to lido
this" The other side says don't
you dare do that" -.
Politicians are the same in the
National Capital as those in city
halls and on town boards. They all
are afraid of the labor vote-and
frankly admit it. That explains why
labor legislation is tied in double
bow knots.

ONE TERM, THREE TERMS.

The candidacy of Senator Van
denberg for the Republican Presi-
idential nomination is announced,
accompanied with a proviso that the
nominee should be 'pre-pledged"
to a single term.
What Roosevelt attitude toward
a third term may be has not been
disclosed. But the question of the
length of the tenure of Office of a
President is likely to be discussed
a great. deal in the coming months.
There is an established precedent
aginst any President remaining in
Office more than two terms. The
nomination of a popular President
for second term is also a thorough
ly entrenched system. If Mr.. Vanden-
berg should win he might find him
self in exactly the same position with
Woodrow Wilson, who was elected
in 1912 on a platform favoring
a single presidential term. He served
eight years and his biographers
made it fairly clear that he would
not have been adverse to a bird
term if his health had not failed.
President rarely find that they
have completed their tasks, re-
gardless of how long they have been
in Office.
