How Poor We Feel

Think of it-for the eighteenth
time in the last 20 years the Fed
eral Government in Washington
has spent more than it collected

cast only two months ago.
In the history of America from
the beginning the Federal spending

BETTER BUILDING CODES

The National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers reports that substantial improvement in
American municipal building codes was made
last year. In that period, it helped prepare
new codes or revise OutmOded ones for 232
cities and towns throughout the country
more than double the number which asked
such assistance the year before. The organ
izatiOn's National Building Code has been
revised six times since it was originally pub
lished in 1905. It also has an Abbreviated
Edition for towns which do not feel the need
for the more detailed Code. This is an en-
cOuraging development. A sound building
code is one of the most effective and funda-
mental weapons in the war against destruc-
tive fire-and that goes for the small towns
no less than the great cities. Firetraps, sub
standard commercial buildings, inadequate
and improper exits, excessively flammable
materials-these and other kindred dang
ers have been responsible for a huge amount
of property loss and for a CHASTITY number
OF deaths and maimings. Fire is always wait
ing for its chance to strickland poorly built
and maintained structures are just what it is
looking for. The war against fire must be
fought on all fronts, in all salients. Sound
building codes are one, as are adequate fire
fighting facilities and public which is
alert to hazards and knows how to correct
them. Our gigantic fire waste is something
for which we can have no excuse.

Our Ships Are Scarce

On September /, 1889, our ships
were in the hands of the ship own
ers, and there was a total number
of 1888 ships in the merchant
fleet on that date.
The United States Maritime Com
mission took over most of them an

The merchant fleet as of Decem-

Now, the United States Maritime
Commission is master of the United

tween the Federal Government and
the shipOwners are not very clear.

A parent writes to ask what a
child should expect from his
home. That should not be diff
cult to answer. He should expect
his home to be a place of refuge
for his body and soul; a place
where he is loved, wanted, re-
spected: place where he can feel
that he is among friends and so
be himself.
No two homes have the same
atmosphere because the people
who maintain them are never
alike. Home is the expression of
the two people who build it. Their
children are strangers to it and to
their parents as well, and they
must learn how to fit into the
scheme comfortably. Learning al
ways has two participants, the
teacher and the learner, and in
this situation the parents must do
the teaching.
Once children come to the
home. room must be made for
them not only in the house but in
the minds and hearts and acts of
the parents. Children need love
first. Then care. Then training.
This course Of study will fit them
to go out into the world of chill
dren and live acceptably there.
They have the right to expect that
this teaching will do just that and
so afford them the strength, the
feeling of security that goes with
the knowledge that behind them
is the twofold strength of an un-
derstanding mother and father.

Meaning Of Home

That takes about five years of
devoted service.
Boys and girls need to feel the
strength of their parents lives un-
derlying their own. That means
that they know what their par
ents are likely to say and do un-
der certain situations. They can
depend upon them. They feel that
their parents will not fail them,
even though they have made mis-
takes.
Children have the right to ex-
pect that room will be made for
them in the home. First. space
for living, for their belongings,
for their personalities. This means
that they feel free to bring their
friends home. to follow their hob
bies within reason, to share with
the family and their own friends
the home that was prepared for
them.
Once children have arrived at
the stage of understanding the
fundamental principles of living
that govern the home they have
the right to expect to be taken
into partnership with the family
firm. told the truth about its plans
for them. for the older people. the
facts about the financial standing
of the family and their share,
their duty. their interests in it.
Friendship is the basic element
in a successful happy home for
children and all that goes on there
should be aimed at that relation
ship. Establish that and all else
will follow.

Automatic Defroster.
Recently a fully automatic de-
froster for household electric re-
frigeratorS has been marketed
This defroSter will automatically
prevent accumulation of frost on
the freezer and eliminates the de-
frosting chore of the housewife,
according to it's manufacturer.
The action is so fast that ice
cream and ice cubes do not soften
and safe temperatures are always
maintained in the freezer and
main food compartments.
Defrost water, too, Is disposed of
automatically so that the house
wife usually is not even aware
that the refrigerator is defrosting.
Ten years in the laboratory test
ing stage. the key to this defrost-
ing system was found in the fact
that the average household re-
frigerator door is opened so times
a day. A specially designed me-
chanical counter keeps tab and on
the 60th door opening gets the
automatic defrosting mechanism
to work.
