had proper e-extinguishing equip
ment available. Fire losses could
also be cut if we would learn how
to use more fully the various fire
proof building materials and home
and Office furnishings now on the

During the past winter, l have
been shocked at the losses of life
and properly which have occurred in
a series of fires in factory build
ings. The New York blaze, above
mentioned, snuffed out "a lives.
All of these lives could have been
saved if the factory had had a
sprinkler system" OF regular fire
drills are helpful; but factory
workers get panicky and forget
what the drills taught them. The
only answer is stricter fire laws
which would compel sprinklers
which would put out fires before
they could gain headway and be-
come unmanageable.
Sprinklers afford the only real
protection in factories employing
more than so people. They are not
costly to maintain once they are
installed. The installation invest
ment in sprinklers is also profitasle
financially because, to certain
extent, their cost is offset by lower
insurance rates. When you or one
of your family accepts a job, see
if he or she is protected by sprink-
lers. Small factories are the very
buildings which constitute the
greatest fire hazards, with corre-
spending loss of life and jobs. If
their owners will not act volun-
tarily to remove these unnecessary

fire risks, then we must have strict
er fire laws to make available to
every reader the protection that
only sprinklers can give.
Great Opportunities Fer Labor
Unions
Most of our newer buildings,
whether large or small, residential
or commercial, are equipped with
various fire-resiStant features. Fire
proof doors are now fairly COM
mon. these safeguards will cOnfine
a fire, but they will not eliminate
its destructive powers to life
through panic and soke. Now that
labor unions are being so severely
criticised, they should become more
interested in constructive measures
which will truly benefit their men,
bers. Surely one of these is that
every factory in which union labor
is employed should be protected by
sprinklers.
These unions could also urge that
more asbestos be used in the con-
struction of factories, stores, and
homes, as well as more extensive
fire-alarm systems and sprinklers
have in mind asbestos gloves to
be worn by those who are suddenly
called upon to put out small fires;
asbestos bed strips designed to help
prevent fires due to careless smck-
ing; asbestos desk portfolios in
which to keep important letters and
resistant draperies, rugs, and tex
tiles. l forecast that the day will

Most Fire Losses Can Be Avoided
The financial losses incurred
through fire are usually covered by
insurance. But insurance can never
fully compensate for loss of life,
loss of job, or loss of a success
full business. Often this also means
that the city will lose taxable prop
erty, because today after fire
the owners often use the insur-
ance money to relocate in some
other more suitable location.
Last year the dollar volume of
fire losses in the United States
climbed to a new high of $1,023,-
10000, up 3.4 per cent from 1948.
During the past ten years the an
nual dollar value of fire losses has
jumped 439 per cent. OF course, in
f1ation of building costs has been an
important factor in this increase.
Nevertheless, the sad fact is that
losses of life and of property from
fire are excessively and unnecessar-
lily high. And these losses will trend
higher unless something is done
soon.

my Dad presented to my children.
Last summer when we were in
Delaware, Dad kept a supply of
Fizzies in the kitchen for the girls
and when we returned to Kansas

and such a good idea for little ones.

TWO STATES AT A TIME

Something like the long battle over ad-
mitting Alaska and Hawaii to the Union has
generally taken place whenever the admission
of a new state was proposed. Vermont was
an exception. Lying between New York
and New Hampshire, it seemed to early Con-
greses logical candidate for statehood.
Kentucky came in soon as a counter
balance. This started the practice of admit
ting states in pairs, one Northern and one
Southern, so as not to disturb the equilibrium
between slave territory and free. The custom
was given up when the North began to pull
ahead in number of states and in population.
Dual admission was revived in 1912 when
the COP, thinking that New Mexico would
vote Republican, was willing to admit Demo-
cratic Arizona at the same time. As it turn
ed out, the states have been almost equally
Democratic
Partisan alignment is again factor to-
day. Alaska is thought to be mainly Demo-
cratic, Hawaii Republican. Political logic
would be to admit both together. That may
yet happen, though Alaska's chances ap-
pear better than Hawaiis at present.

Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.

In hoped an Easter Bunny,
That looked rather funny.
His coat was all weather beaten,
And so was he,
Although he looked full of glee.
He filled each basket
With Easter Eggs and joy
For each girl and boy.
