Th.- list of fatalities was large doe perhaps to the (act that weather was perfect and we may eipect • cwntiuuation of the record until otto thing is done. For the past several years Indiana has not had a speed limit on the highways, except in marked sones. Perhaps If we could only drive six|y miles or less per ! hour any time, any pta<-e. it would help. Any way many who have studied the problem and 'ompar. d the Hoosier record to other states where they continue to have a limit. feel that way about It. ■ ■ 0 O The lease-lend measure passed just two months after it was Introduced by a two to one majority or practically so. The final vote was «0 to 31 with Be sat ora Vcu Nuys and Thomas favorable but not presdut. The next big battle will be oa a measure to provide a billion or more with which to operate the plans to provide aid to the detaocractM of the world. There wilt be continued opposition as is expected as loug at the present difficulties in every corner of the kiobe axis.. The bill as passed provides that each appropriation must be aotlwvised by congress and that the powers given the president way be withdrawn pt any time by a aMUorUy vote.

Many grown ups don't realise where tires start, for Instance, we all let rubbish collect in the attic, storeroom, or in an old »ned of some kind without thtukteg that such dry material can be set oft with just a small spark Then. too. there are defective wires that cause fires to start. When they ara crossed, they rub together and soon the Insulation is worn off, then it doesn't take very much for a building to catch fire from sui h defective wiring Fires of this sort can easily be prevented. They are oft<m called accidental, but. they are just plain carelessness or ignorance A few minutes time to clean up or a couple of dollars for uew wiring could prevent many of the tires in tbu country. Cans of explosives left lyrng around often cause explosions, thus setting building* on tire. Too many times explosives are kept In a warm place When this is done th* heat mak'-s the substance Inside become so warm that the gaseous fumes must escape somewhere, so It explodes Spontaneous <ombus tian fires net nine million dollars a year. We <an see that fire Is nut to be put off lightly. I Defective chimneys aiui flam, ma hie roofs are also to blame for j many of our fires Fire Imuran* *- ’ companies raise the Insurance on I Buildings wliß broken dpwn <* poorly constructed chltnuey* Bv-' ery chimney should begin at the | ground, not half way up the wall : the bricks should be laid on their I flat sides, not < nds up. Shingle roofs catch on fire very easily. | especially after they are a few ! i years old. Asbestos or slate roofs : are mOch more practical than { shingles They may cost a little I more In the beginning, but they last a life tune and reduce fire i i haxarda. thus the Insurance on ' them Is much lower. Poorly constructed buildings are another type of fire haaard. Walla should lie sealed with fire proof - material so there will be no draft Fires spread quickly from one > story to another If there Is an air I space between walls. Fire doors . should be placed at all opening ■ leading Io the basement of large ' buildings. Then. too. all doors leading to ballways should be kept rioeedso there will be no draft ’ going through the building. It is ' always better to he wise than sorry when one Is dealing with fire, for life Is far too dear and property for far too expensive to be destroyed tiec-anse of careless and indifferent attitude toward fire hasante. ■" "O— — I— HIS T TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY March 11—Now York brewers announce they will manufacture g% beer to tie used for mtcdicinal purposes. under new ruling.
