At the same time public service has not been curtailed and she city enjoys practically every improvement which the other town’s have.

BURNING ENERGY: Fire Prevention Week Is to be observed from October 6 to 12. And here Is a thought worth considering in the meantime: Friendly tire —fire under control -is one of man’s greatest boons. It keeps us warm, cooks our foods, motivates our industries, and serves us in countless other ways. Unfriendly fire —fire out of control—is one of man's greatest enemies. It destroys property — causing irreparable economic loss. It menaces life. It hampers progress. It threatens community development. and industrial activity and employment. A building for example, represents something beside money. It represents energy, achievement, labor. If it is a factory building, it represents creative, productive wealth. When fire destroys that building, insurance will give back part of the money it cost, but nothing can give back the energy that was wasted. Nothing can make up for the work lost, the jobs destroyed. the diminished purchasing power the fire caused. The indirect costs of fire—costs which cannot be put into a balance sheet — are the real measure of our national fire waste. Those indirect costs are many times the direct costs. Somewhere, as you read this, a I home is being burned to the ground. A factory building is a smoldering' ruin. A man is screaming in pain from a burn that will prove fatal. All this is the result of someone's oversight, someone’s carelessness. . ♦ r — < Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. ♦ 1. Washington. D. C. 2.

SOCIALISTS IN PARTY BATTLE Liberals And Conservatives Fight For Indiana Leadership

Indianapolis, Sept. 20. — <U.R) — Under the militant leadership of Powers Hapgood. Indianapolis, can didate for governor in 1932, liberals of the socialist party in Indiana today were in the midst of a factional and legal fight with the conservative wing. Legal action will center in a suit by the liberals asking a temporary restraining order and permanent Injunction against the socialist party of Indiana. Inc., using the party name. The factional fight will be climaxed Sept. 28 when the party headed by Hapgood will hold a convention at Marion to definitely alienate itself from the "old guard." Hapgood has been prominent In the fight against "military dictatorship" in Vigo county. He twice was jailed by military and civil authorities while in the area. The conservatives of the party are led by H. W. Daacke. state chairman. Mrs. Emma Henry, secretary of the Socialist Party of Indiana. Inc., and George J. Lehnert, three times Indianapolis mayorality candidate. The Hapgood forces now have an injunctive action pending in Marion superior court, but the suit will be supplanted by the new action planned by the liberals. A recent referendum of party members resulted in the call for a convention at Marion, and liberals plan to amend the rules of the party’s government. Platform declarations will be made with emphasis placed on "production for use" as the basis of state and national relief programs. » The party is expected to maintain its alliance with labor by objecting strenuously to use of national guard troops in strike zones. The state federation of labor last week adopted such a resolution. The sales tax and the possibility of a special session of the Indiana general assembly will be discussed. The conservative group is making a desperate effort to remain the accredited party within the state and to expel Hapgood. his
