The Detroit Tigers recon-
mended themselves In the Amer

impressive recommendation 1t Is,
too-because they have what
looks to be the best and deepest
pitching staff in baseball.
Steve O'Neill, who pilots the
Tigers, admits it. So does Eddie
Dyer of the Cardinals, who man
ages a pretty good staff himself,
and so do nearly all other pilots.

The Byrd Expedition

The present Navy-sponsored expedi-
ton to Antarctica, under the command of
Read Admiral Byrd, who pioneered scien-
tific research in that vast region, is signi-
ficant illustration of the enormous changes
that are taking place in the world. 1t is a
distinct possibility that, if another war
comes it may be fought in part in the
artic and antarctic The current expedi-
ton, therefore, is designed to test men and
machines under simulated combat condi-
tions in extremely unfavOrable weather
and terrain. And it is further designed to
carry on metallurgical meteorological and
other explorations which may prove to
have great economic as we'll as military
Importance.
Some discoveries of moment have been
made. 1t has been found, for instance, that
the combat efficiency of a man declines
about per cent for every degree of tenn
perature below zero. At so below, there
fore, his efficiency is reduced to nothing
all his mental and physical processes must
be devoted to the basic job of keeping
alive.
1t has also been found that weapons
reacted differently in the antarctic under
extreme cold than they reacted under
artificial test conditions at the same tenn
peratures. Apparently there is a different
chemical reaction when cold is prolonged
as against when it is Of only brief duration.
The expedition is a distinct contribu-
ton to hemisphere defense-and the facts
produced will help make possible the long
range planning which is the principal duty
of our military establishments in time of
peace.

Fair Prices

High prices" and "low prices" are
loosely used terms To compare for in
stance, the price structure of 1885, when
the national debt was small and when
wages and the national income were rela-
lively low, with the price structure Of
1947, $3.50, O,000000,000 debt, record wages,
and an enormous national income, just
doesn't make sense. Prices are sensitive
to all the economic influences of the time
The sensible thing to talk about is a
'fair price, That, to define it briefly, is
the lowest price at which any given COM
modify may be sold in the light of today's
wages, debt, taxes, rents, material costs
and everything else. And that kind of
price is rapidly being established in all
fields.
Increased production in manufacturing
has injected new blood into the American
competitive spirit-and that always helps
to hold prices down as we'll as to force
quality up. Consumer resistance against
been another salutory factor. Finally on
the retail level the American distribution
machine is again proving its metal.
No merchant who wants to stay in busi-
ness will deliberately exploit the consum-
er. Let the buyer beware" is the exact
reverse of American retailing principles.
Let the buyer have confidence" is, in
essence, the motto of modern retailers
and that goes for the small independent
as we'll as the big chain or department
store. The merchants principal asset is
consumer friendship and faith-and he
stocks his shelves and prices his goods
accordingly.

subject which will meet in Washington
early this May. Communities, horror
struck by the hotel fires of last year and
the explosions this year, are examining
and undermining building and safety codes.
All of this work and effort, invaluable
as it is, must fail unless it is given public
support-and the public means you.
No town, and no organization, can
watch every home and place Of business
and make sure that fire dangers are cor
rected 1t is impossible to "police" electric
wiring heating appliances, the use and
storage of inflammable liquids-which are
main causes of home fires Only the indivi-
dual concerned can do that job. The fire
prevention experts can describe the easy,
simple precautions necessary-then it is
up to us all to follow them.
You should need no explanation of the
stake you have in this campaign against
a great destroyer. Last year, close to $780,
100000 worth of property was burned.
Worse yet, 10000 people were cremated.
And this takes no account of the enormous
indirect loss caused by fire in lost jobs
industrial production, and business. That
loss is inmeasurable.
When you fight fire, you fight for your
own property-and your own life.

Change In Industry

One Of the great strengths Of free en-
terprise lies in its ability to adapt itself
to change-and to meet new, unexpected
and heavy demands for what it produces.
The oil industry is now providing an
example of that During the war, in which
petroleum was one of the most vital
''weapons," it produced and delivered an
unprecedented amount Of oil products to
this country and our allies. And the an
ticipated "breathing spell" which many
thought would follow the war, once mill
tary demand Stacked off, did not occur.
Instead, demand continues to rise, and
record output continues. Even though
much needed construction by the industry
has been delayed by lack of materials, it
is filling the need.
New kinds Of petroleum products are
constantly being developed and marketed
Detergents, known as "soapless soaps are
an example. The industry's great research
laboratories, no less than it's drilling and
refining capacity, operate at an accelerat-
ing pace.
Lastly, oil has proven itself capable
of dealing efficiently with very signi-
ficant change in demand Diesel fuels,

from the point of view of volume, are NOV
ing to the front, and in time may over
shadow gasoline.

Economists here profess to see
in present high food and clothing
prices the last sharp raise before
prices start on a decline of per-
haps twenty percent or more.
And that means, these experts
say, a drop in farm prices of a
like amount. The reason is, they
say, that prices cannot 60 higher
now without corresponding wage
increases. For instance farm pro-
ducts, at wholesale, are up l59
percent over 1899; food is up l29
percent for the same period;
building materials, 81 percent:
textile products at wholesale, "a
