n uequdte private as we'll as
public fire prevention for plants at
work or on war orders, is of pri-
mary Importance if repetition Of
fires as such as have destroyed
great quantities of essential ma
terials is to be avoided. This warn
ing was recently issued in a Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers' bulletin: Processes of pro-
duction in this chemical and ma
chine age have introduced many
hazards of explosions and fires.
Coupled with these normal con-
ditions is the speed-up of war
work, with many concerns turn
ing to processes with which they
are not familiar, and the use of
equipment not originally designed
for. the purpose
The bulletin then lists the three
principal causes of large fire loss
es: First, failure to discover the
fire in its early stages; second.
insufficient private fire fighting
equipment which could be used
to extinguish or at least control
the fire third, inadequate public
fire service. To these must be
added the fourth factor of error
in human Judgment. AS an exam
pie of that, the recent Massachu-
sets fire which destroyed thou
sands of tons of irreplaceable
rubber might never have gone
beyond control had the sprinkler
system not been shut off shortly
after the blaze was first noticed.
Even very small communities
can build up efficient volunteer
fire fighting services and ade-
stately equip them at small cost.
Every plant, no matter how little
it is, should purchase fire fighting
equipment and train all workers
in its use. Almost every fire is a
small fire at the beginning. And
the majority OF great fires could
have been stopped with little
damage-if adequate preparation
had been made.
Fire defense is an essential
phase of the war effort. Commune
ties which fail in it are Sinking
their duty to the entire nation.

Gasoline Rationins System Brings :
Many Complaints, EXPANSIONS
By conaressmon Frunees P. Bolton

000, 900 a year would be added to
the additional $500. 900 900 annually
under the S42 proposal and this
would be increased proportionately
the Army grows. Seventy per
cent of the increase would go to en-
listed men in the lower grades.
A measure to increase the number
"A OF Cadets at the Y. S. Military
Academy was passed by the House.
Under this bill, each member of the
House and each Senator would be
given one additional appointment
immediately. practically all Of whom
already will have qualified as alter
mates.
EORMATION OF IN Army Spe-
L cialist Corps is getting underway.
This is not a part OF the Army but
is intended to place men in positions
for which they are best fitted and
where they can release strictly mill
tary men for more active duties.
Under the surface there appears
- to be a great deal of naneuver-
ing in connection with the antici-
pated appointment of the person 10
preside over all publicity matters
for the government.
Enormous powers will be exer-
cised by this person. 1t will be his
duty and his function to guide the
thinking of all the American peo-
pie down the path to whatever the
goal in mind.

very serious thought to the problem.
Out of conflicting and confusing
statements by various government
oficials-hrst that there is a gaso-
line shortage, then that rationing
vas made necessary not because Of
the shortage but to eliminate nom
essential use OF automobiles-natur-
ally come runlors and attacks.
Certainly the Office of Price Adj
ministration has no excuse for criti-
Ching those who accept rationing
cards which are issued under rules
it sets up. Here in Washington no
official government vehicles are ra-
toned.
No system has been set up where
by dispensers of gasoline can be
checked. 1t is left up to the public.
and ! am sure that the great ma
jority will do their best to comply
with the purpose and spirit OF the
program.
BECAUSE of heavy demands of
- government, both military and
civilian travel by rail is getting
more and more difficult. We shall
undoubtedly find rationing applied
to railroads just as it has been to
rubber and gasoline.

- for Army privates from S42 to
$s0 per month, an increase of $780,

with the clothing experience OF
Willard Eisler. who Is the manager
Of Dixie Shops, Inc.
Mr.. Eisler knows mems clothing
from A to z and comes by II natur-
ally. His father and grandfather
were formerly connected with mems
clothes and since it's good enough
for my grandfather, and good
enough for my father. It's certainly
good enough for me-" says Mr..
Eisler.
In his present capacity at the
Dixie Shops, Mr.. Eisler does the
buying as we'll as helps In selling.
The reason | like to stay on the
floor and help with the selling is
because 1t gives me an opportunity
to see what the men like and there
fore l am In a better position to
buy the right type of merchandise,
and offer our customers selections
that will make II easier for them to
pick out their clothing" says Mr..
