WE WILL PAY FOR
CARELESSNESS

Laconically, the National Board OF
Fire Underwriters reports that esti-
mated fire losses in the United States
in October, 1914, are UP 30 over
September, 1914, and $2,500,000, or
8 per cent over October, 1943. This
is the highest October loss since Oc-
tober, 1881.
Losses in the twelve months ended
with October 81, 1914, are estimated
at more than $42O, 100000 as COM
pared with $361,485, 900 for the year
ended October, 1943.
Not only is the total fire loss ris-
ing, butt the rate of fire losses has
reversed it's long downward trend,
with the result, as reported in Busi-
ness Week, that some fire insurance
companies now report that their
combined losses and expenses are
running around $1.05 for each pre-
MUM dollar they are collecting.
If TIE present adevrse trend in fire
losses throughout the country is not
brought to halt by greater public
consciousness of fire, people must
eventually pay more for the protec-
tion of fire insurance. They will un-
avoidably be assessed for gross care
lessness.

Open House on
New Year 5 Day

It was customary for the Dutch
settlers of New York to hold "open
house" on New Years day and to
provide light refreshments, usually
centerirg around large bowl of
punch, for friends calling to pay the
compliments of the season.
During the latter part of the 18th
century the custom of making short
calls on New Years day was in full
swing throughout America. Metro
politan newspapers carried columns
of at home" notices which, includ-
ing names of social prominence and
those making no such pretense, an
nounced hours during which visi-
tors would be received: having duly
received, hosts and hostesses closed
their receptions to join the process
sion of callers at other "open
houses
A succession of "open houses and
punch bowls minimized the courtesy
accorded hostesses-in many cases
and even resulted in receptions
being crashed" by bibulous young
men; these abuses led to the aban-
donment of the "open house" Gus
tom, New Years calls now being
exchanged only by intimates and
without any public announcement of
intention to receive.

COMMONPLACE TOMORROW,

Artists like to draw fanciful con-
ceptions of the future. From time to
immemorial they have imagined man
flying. Contemporary artists can now
go to any metropolitan airport and
see how woefully their predecessors
underestimated mans flying ability
y A major airline recently received
travellers who were asked what they
would demand of commercial avia-
tion after the war. On the basis of
these answers, this airline has drawn
plans indicating that the postwar
airliner, which will carry more than
SO passengers from New York to
London in less than IL hours for a
fare of $235, will contain many of
the advantages of a modern home,
including comfortable seats, uniform
heating, efficient reading lights and
electrical cooking devices.
A passenger request which is re-
ceiving serious consideration is an
illuminated trip program panel to
keep the air traveller informed as to
what cities he is flying over. But
leading the list is the pressurized
cabin to eliminate the effects of air.
pressure changes when the plane is
ascending or descending, and to per-
NIT fight in higher attitudes above
the weather"
In addition, the air will be heated
or cooled to keep the inside of the
cabin at comfortable temperature,
even though the temperature out
side may range from SO degrees be-
low to 100 degrees above zero.
All of this may sound like the raw
ing of an artist gone crazy. But it
isn't. 1t sa preview of commonplace
tomorrow.

TEAMWORK

The statement is often made that
this country can look to the future
with confidence because of its aDun-
dant natural resources That is only
half the story. It's resources are not
only abundant but have been diseov-
cred and developed in history MAX
ing manner.
Tke story of one of our most valu-
ed resources, coal, is typical. Coal has
helped to provide our military forces
and large numbers of those of our
Allies-with the finest offensive and
defensive weapons the world has
seen. 1t is the base for 85 per cecnt
of all war plastics, while the high
explosives-TNT, picric acid and
tetrol-are made from coal, in whole
or in part. 1t requires ton OF coal
to produce TIE steel for a 2,OOO
spound bomb, rs tons for 3-inch
anti-aircraft gun, SO tons for medl-
um tank, and $4,000 tons for a super
dreadnaught. The uses for coal in
peacetime will be even broader in the
future than in the past. Coal derlva-
tiyes have literally revolutionized hui
man existence.
In this country, coal is nearly as
ubiquitous in its occurrence as In Its
applications. Found in 81 states, it
is mined commercially in % of them.
The vaule of the coal produced an
nually in the United States is greater
tkan that of all metals combined
and is " times that of all gold, 22
times that of all silver, times that
of all copper and Z times that OF all
iron.
Fortunately, coal exists in practi-
cally unlimited quantities-known
reserves in this country are estimated
at 5000 to 1000 years at present
rates of consumption.
These figures give an inkling OF
what is meant when we speak of our
natural resources, but it should not
be forgotten that without the team
work of vast scientific research, plus
tke ingenuity of American coal pro-
ducers, the figures would still be
buried in the ground along with the
coal.

1945 GARDENS NEEDED AS in
1914

A call to all Victory Gardeners to
keep up their good work in 1945 has
gone out from Washington. The War
Food Administration says that gar
dens will be just as necessary in 1945
as they were in 1914.
A few months ago VIXEN the Allied
armies were sweeping across France
at a rapid rate, many assumed that
the war would be over by Christmas.
At that time there was some doubt
about the need for a full scale Vic
tory Garden program in 1945. This
gave rise to rumors that the Govern
ment had lost interest in Victory
Gardens. Any doubt about the need
for gardens has been cleared up by
the events of TIE last three months.
A survey by the Department of
Agriculture estimates that there were
1917 million gardens grown in 1914.
About million of these were on
farms and the others were in towns
and in cities and tEeir suburbs. The
survey showed that 8S percent of all
farm home shad gardens, and A per
cent of urban homes had gardens.
Victory Garden headquarters in
Washington says gardeners must not
let up as long as soldiers are fighting.

NEW FUEL OIL COUPONS VALID
Period two fuel oil coupons were
validated on December IS at ten gal
Ions per unit, OPA has announced.
Because of unusually heavy mill
tary demands coupled with transpor-
tation uncertainties, civilian oil
supplies are not sufficient to permit
an increase in unit values for the
new heating period, and if supplies
are to stretch over the remaining
months of the heating season, OPA
officials emphasized that fuel oil US
ers must carefully observe all mea-
sures to stay within their ration al
lotments.
Period one coupons continue to be
good, since this years fuel oil cou-
pons may be used throughout the
1944-45 heating season. In addition
to the period" coupons to which
gallonage values are regularly assign
ed according to supplies available
when the new heating periods begin,
also have definite val
ue coupons-witk the gallon 9
printed on the coupons-which are
valid throughout the year.

FARMERS URGED TO SELL
SURPLUS CLOVER SEED

In view of the demand for legume
and grass seeds throughout the coun-
try and for shipment under lend-lease
to allied countries, Maryland farmers
are urged to sell to dealers or pro-
cessors any red clover seed in excess
If needs while prices are at favorable
levels. This year Congress made
funds available for additional seed
payments under the 1914 Agricultur-
al Conservation Program, as a means
of stimulating red clover seed pro-
dnIction.
Maximum or ceiling prices Mary
land farmers can receive for red clo-
ver seed have been reported as fol-
lows: SIS bushel as uncleaned,
thresher-run, or $19.S6 a busLel for
seed that has been cleaned. A dealer
may purchase seed from a producer,
have the seed cleaned, and then sell
it at q maximum of $22.17 bushel.

APPROVED BY GOVERNOR

Governor Herbert r. O'COnor las
made known his approval of a pro-
gram of medical care for INDECENT
residents of the counties of the State,
as we'll as for those others in the
counties, who, though self-support-
ing, are not financially able to bear
the cost of medical treatment in
leased at the Executive Offices, the
Cliief Executive declared:
Il herewith announce the plan of
the State Administration to carry
forward the program for medical care
in the interest of the INDECENT and
medically-indigent people of our
State
"It is our aim, in Maryland, tc
make provision for the treatment o.
patients who are unable to pay for
medical, hospital and nursing care.
Particularly timely is it to further
this program now because our Ad-
ministration will push forward in re-
gard to TIE construction of chronic
disease hospitals, following the plan
already announced The sponsorship
of the program for medical care will
make possible, it Is hoped, adequate
provisions for additional patients
who would otherwise be deprived of
medical and nursing attention in var
ious parts of Maryland.

the proven competence of the medical

sions to be made by the State for this

pointed jointly by me and by the
Maryland State Planning Commission
several years ago. This program, ap-
proved by the Medical. and Chirurgi-
cal Faculty of Maryland, has evoked

GOALS FOR FARMERS
Ry 4 II. ,DOneS

Washington, d. c., December 26-
Before the white men settled in our
country the American Indians pro-
duced more than 100000 busL els
of ear-corn year. They raised beans,
squashes, pumpkins, sunfiowers, to-
bacco and gourds-in all about 25
crops; they enriched their lands with
fish and other convenient fertilizers.
Wild animals, and food from the salt
and fresh waters were standard ar
ticles with which they met their
goals. When the white men settled
among them, and frightened their
belts for lack of food, the redskins
usually showed up with food in time
to prevent general starvation. Mean
while farming slowly developed as
tl.e most important American indus
try
Forty-five years ago tie United
States established the Department
of Agriculture and the Secretary of
hat Department became member
of the Presidents cabinet.
Inc importance VI OuI OWN VIZ
tory Gardens cannot be minimiZed in
he face of the records of this year
hat show 1S,5OO,O00 were cultivated
and that more than two-tkirds of the
housewives of the nation did home
canning and other forms of food pre-
servation. The Agricultural Depart
ment has officially congratulated the
gardeners and preservers (maybe
chat includes you) and asks the vol
lnteers and the regular farmers to
reach the goals for farmers next
year "to equal the marvellous produc-
ion record of 1914" The War Food
Administrator commented on the eco
nomy, the quality of products, and
the pleasures of gardening, in these
words: "The Victory Garden Pro
gram is one of the finest illustrations
we have had in this war of job
hat civilians at home can do to back
Dip the boys who are fighting"
After all is said, and suggested,
arming is today the most important
of all American industries-and that
is why it is being streamlined by
&c, 100000 honest-to-goodness regu-
ar and genuine farmers.
