FIRES TOLL OF LIFE

{ New figures released by the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters
show conclusively that fire takes it's
greatest toll among children of ten
der age. This fact was produced in
the course of study of the latest
vital statistics available.
Under FIVE is the dangerous age
by ratio of almost three to one
over any other similar age period.
Fire fatalities are lowest between
the ages of 10 and IA, and are not
greatly higher at any later age. In
an average year, fire takes the lives
of 1878 children under five, which
amounts to 25 per cent of all acct
dental fatalities in this age group.
Continuing with it's study of fire
deaths, the National Board estimates
that in an average week, 148 peo-
pie will be fatally burned, and many
more will die as result of asphyx-
iation, electrical shock and lightn-
ing. The annual total of death from
| fire in one form or another is in ex-
cess of 10000 lives. In the years
since the World War, fre has killed
more than 100000 Americans. By
comparison, only $4,000 American
soldiers lost their lives in battle
during that conflict.
| The National Board states that
modernized building codes and ade-
quate fire prevention ordinances in
the cities, towns and villages OF
America would save a high proper
ton Of the 10000 lives that are
needlessly sacrificed each year. Here
is job for every community--a job
which should be done at once.

"sAFE. SPEED" SIGNS BEING
ERECTED

Motorists are urged by the Key
stone Automobile Club, in the in
terest of highway safety, to observe
with scrupulous care the safe
speed" signs now being erected on
many of the principal highways of
Maryland.
These signs, said George e.
Keneipp, Manager of the Club, ARE
veritable life savers. They fill need
long recognized by safety engineers
In giving definite visual indication
of the speed which may safely be
followed on curves.
Heretofore, it has been case of
every man for himself" in judging
proper speeds on curving roads.
While the State Roads Commission
has done a splendid job in indicat-
ing the approach to curves by re-
fiectorized signs, up to this time
there never has been any means of
conveying to drivers the exact ma
ture of the curve in its relation to
speed.
Because of this lack, the trial
and error system has resulted in
many deaths and injuries by reason
of cars taking curves at too great a
speed. With proper observance of
the new signs, there is no reason
why the casualty list ON Maryland
highways should not be appreciably
reduced.
The "safe speed signs are plac-
ed on poles underneath the curve
signs. The figures denoting the speed
found to be safe in negotiating the
curves are reflected. Determination
of the "safe speed" was made by en-
gineers operating automobiles equip
ped with blank indicators, which
show exactly the speed which can
be maintained without the car leav-
ing its own side of the road.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS MORE
PRACTICAL MEN IN OFFICE

Specialists and professional men
are taking an increasing and import
ant part in the workings of our
government today, men who are
smart, honest, and anxious to do
their best for the United States, but
who are totally lacking in practical
experience.
Professional men, college profess
sors and specialists are respected
by all as men, and as classes of men,
but it is becoming more apparent, as
the defense program fails to gather
expected momentum, that the ma
tion's rule-makers have relied too
much upon the knowledge Of theor-
lists.
Many officials high in government
circles won their present posts be-
cause they were good lawyers, good
teachers, good engineers, or good
doctors, not because they could plan
a production program or write a
workable tax bill. Few economists
know the daily struggle Of business
men to keep things going. Few law
yers know how to manage an air.
plane factory. Few experts in high
finance know the everyday problems
of labor and industry.
Professional men are often able
and even brilliant i'm their special
lines, but they will never solve the
problems that are preventing q
greater Roadway in the defense pro
gram. They have not had the prac-
teal experience which can only be
gathered by coming to grips with the
daily problems of business.
The governments professional
advisors are constantly being car
ried away with humanitarian ideals
This has been so marked that i
will now take about $500 fol
every man, woman and child to wip'
out the public debt. The employee
has had little to say about SOLVING
his own unemployment problems
yet the present relief system was de
vised by men who never in thei
lives were employers.
Professional men are not the bes
talent to cope with the imponder
ables of human nature. They fin
the answers to their questions onl
in textbooks written by still othe
men who never have had practice
experience.
Washington truly needs more me
with practical experience, men VIII
are competent because they hav
had to fight for their living.

LUMP-SUM DEATH PAYMENTS
UNDER SOCIAL SECURITY

Lump-sum payments made under
the Social Security Act in cases
where am insured worker died leav-
ing no family member entitled to
monthly survivors insurance bene-
fits went to 1,085 persons in Mary
land during the first six months of
1941, according to H. Norman Mil
burn, Jr., manager of the social Sc
curity Office at 80 South Street,
Baltimore, Maryland. These pay
ments totaled $117,331, he said,
adding that the number of persons
receiving payments is greater than
the number of deceased wage earn
ers, with respect to whose wages
payments were made, since on the
death of some insured workers more
than one person may be entitled to
share in the lump-sum payments.
The size of the lump-sum pay
ment is six times the workers "pri-
mary benefit, which is an amount
figured ON the basis of his, past
wages i'm exactly the same way as
monthly retirement benefits. Such
payments are made to the widow or
widower, a child or children, or to a
parent of the deceased worker--in
the order named. If no such rela-
tive exists, other persons who as
sumo responsibility for burial ex-
penses may be reimbursed up to an
amount equal to six times the pri-
mary benefit.

'sOIL SHORTAGE" BACKFIREs

The so-called "oil shortage" scare
ON the Eastern seaboard, promoted
for reasons hard to understand, has
vanished like a morning mist. Ac-
cording to a congressional commit
tee investigation, there is no SER
ious shortage in the foreseeable
future.
The productive capacity of the
American oil industry is more than
adequate to meet today's enormous
military demand, as well as the
normal civilian demand. A transpor-
tation problem was created by the
transfer Of tankers to Great Brit
ian. That problem is now being met
by moving oil by rail, even though
the cost to the industry is higher;
by the construction of additional
and, in many cases, by
using coal instead of oil in indus
trial operations.
This country produces moae than
60 per cent of all the oil in the
world. 1t produces oils of quality
elsewhere. That is what
private enterprise has done--and all
the politically-inspired rumors of
grave shortages" can't hide it.
cooperation with industry
as dislocation problems arise, due
to defense needs, will do more to
solve them than autocratic, punitive
action.
