FIRE FACTS

The Jap attack on Pearl Harbor was a military disaster for

" hundred planes and comparatively few ships. If Pearl

This country has been ~prodigany careless with fire. Too

Of flame. Spontaneous ignition is a phenomenon that occurs
in oily cloths, mops or waste and paint-stained rags or clothing.
.hemicaI reaction causes the material to heat up until actual
fire bursts forth. Common household dusts, both from waste
material and food, may explode with terrific force. When
either flour or dust from vacuum cleaners is thrown loosely
into an incinerator or furnace, so that a cloud forms, a violent
explosion may take place as soon as the dust cloud reaches fire.
Another prime cause Of fire is the ordinary match. Smok-
ers strike 5000 matches every second. Too many toss them
away carelessly, not realizing that fire kills more persons in the
United States each year than our country lost killed in action"
during the first year of the war. The annual death toll from
fire approXimates 10000 lives annually.
These are a few of the facts about fire that everyone
should know.

Employment Dips 200, 900
In Month; Idle Decline

WASHINGTON. - Total employ
ment in this country declined by
200, 900 during February to 50,2OO,-
900, the lowest level recorded in the
last two years, the census bureau
reported. The decrease from Janu-
airy, the bureau said, took place en-
tirely among women.
Total wartime employment
reached a peak of Sd, 800 900 in Au-
gust, 1912, dropped to 1,700, 900 in
January and February, 1943, climbed
to 81, 600, 900 last July, and has been
falling slowly ever since.
Employment of women reached a
wartime peak of 1890, 900 last July
and has been declining since.
Despite the February decline, I'M
employment also decreased, drop
ping from 1,100,00 0 in January to
900, 900, the wartime low which was
maintained from October, 1943, to
January.
That was explained, the bureau
said, by the fact that the number
of neutrality-suspicious. not seeking
jobs-increased by 100000 during
January to AZ, 400, 900 in February,
the highest total in this category
since March, 1943.

Judge HARDWOOD Seeks
denomination in JuIv

Judge Ben HARDWOOD Wednes-
day filed his petition with the
secretary of state for renomina-
ton as one of the two district
judges for the Thirteenth judicial
district which embraces the coun-
ties of Big Horn, Carbon, Still
water, Treasure and Yellowstone.
In announcing his candidacy,
Judge HARDWOOD said: '"The office
of judge is of vital concern in the
daily life and the affairs of u
people. To our courts are en-
trusted many of the most import
ant interests of the individual and
the community. To merit that
trust by giving full and fair con-
Sideration to all matters coming
before the court has always been
and will continue to be my high
est concern"
The justices of the Supreme
Court and the judges of the dis
trict courts r nominated and
elected on a nonpartisan basis.
Candidates for the two district
~judgeships in this district will be
nominated at the primary cleo
ton or July 19, with two of the
nominees to be elected in Novem-
Der.
Judge HARDWOOD was elected in
1886 and 1910 as one of the two
judges of the Thirteenth judicial
district. He previously had been
elected from Yellowstone county
as a member of the legislature in
1884 and as county attorney in
1928. He was born in Montana in
1891, the son of former Justice
of the Supreme Court E. N. Har-
wood, who settled in Billings in
1882. Judge Ben HARDWOOD re-
ceived his public schooling in
Montana and later graduated from
Yale university and Harvard law
school.
During World War 1 he served
in the Air Corps on the western
front, was wounded at Chateau
Thierry and was awarded the
American Distinguished Service
Cross and the French Croix de
Guerre. Active in local affairs,
he has been identified with the
establishment and the growth of
the Billings municipal airport and
is one of the members of the pres
ent airport commission. He is a
past commander of Yellowstone
Post No. 4, American Legion, and
is a member of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and several frater-
nal organizations.
Judge HARDWOOD is married and
the father of two children, a son
serving with the Navy somewhere
in the Pacific, and a daughter
now employed in Billings where
she resides with her parents.

Bacterial Growth

Bacteria, molds and yeasts, the
chief causes of most food spoilage,
grow rapidly at temperatures
around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and
slowly between SO degrees and 40
degrees. Some grow very slowly at
temperatures between Is and 20 de-
grees but there appears to be no
microbial action at temperatures be-
low Is degrees. Fresh foods should
be chilled promptly and kept cold
until properly frozen.

FOR HI RECORD

Some information has just been released by the American
Petroleum institute which is almost beyond conception. Our
average fighting man overseas requires his weight in oil every
three days to get him there, keep him going and protect him
overhead.
1t takes an average of three tons of 100-octane gasoline
to deliver and drop one ton of bombs. Think this over when
you read of 1000 tons of bombs being dropped on one Ger
man objective. Then think of the thousands of tons of bombs
that are being dropped day after day on German and Japanese
detectives.

Play Saved
ByAe+ing
NEW YORK. Dec. %.

NEW YORK. Dec. D.
YIIE work of Fredric March
Il in "A Bell for Adano" does
much more for the play than Il
docs for him. Without his sin
cere and warm playing OF the
role OF Maj. Victor Joppolo
there would be some so per
cent less TO the attraction at
the Cort Theater than there Is
now. With March present a
visit is recommended.
"A Bell for Adano," adapted
by playwright Paul Osborn
from John Hersey's best-selling
novel OF the same name, has a
first act full of promise and
considerable movement. The
second act is one of the most
interminable things 1 ever sat
through. The last act is short.
Considerable of the flavor OF
the novel has been lost, or per-
haps IL might be fairer to say
that il was almost impossible to
get much of it onto the stage.
