Fire Prevention Day
Fire Prevention Day is an inoculation which
a community gives itself once a year against fire. Vaccination prevents typhoid and smallpox. The sore arms of thousands of American boys in the training camps attests to the pain that accompanies the injection. Fire Prevention Day also causes pain. Arms become fatigued and backs hurt after husbands, wives and children have removed the combustible rubbish from attic and cellar. But the pain is only of short duration while the beneficent results of the clean-up are enduring. Vaccination is compulsory in the military training camps. It's too bad that fire prevention work cannot be made compulsory by legal statute. Educational campaigns, however, offset the handicap. The state fire marshal, the city's fire chief, the schools annually engage in a co-operative movement that destroys the rubbish inimical to the safety of a city.
Locate your nearest fire alarm box and learn how to turn in an alarm. See that your electric wiring Is standard and be care-' ful in the use of electrical devices. Have all smoke pipes and chimneys inspected and repaired by a competent person before starting fires for the winter. Keep gasoline in safety cans and. in a safe place. Keep water barrels and palls filled and extinguishers charged. Use only safe floor oils and sweeping compounds. Feel your personal responsibility for possible loss of life and property by lire and act accordingly. Things Not to do to Prevent Fires Don't put ashes in other than metal receptacles, and don't dump them where thejt will come in contact with combustible materials. Don't hang electric light cords on nails. Don't use wooden lockers. s Don't permit oily rags to lie ground. Don't let the fact that you are insured make you care-
Don't use an open light when looking for escaping gas
or in tne presence or inflammable liquids.
Dont use sawdust in spittoons or to absorb oils.
Don't throw away lighted matches, cigars or cigar
ettes, i
Don't use Insecticides or liquid polishes in the vicinity
of open flame lights. Many such compounds contain vol
atile inrlammaDle oils.
Don't use kerosene, benzine or naptha in lighting fires or to quicken a slow fire it may result in death. Don't use gasoline or benzine to cleanse clothing near an open flame, light or fire. Don't make bonfires of rubbish where the wind can scatter it. Burn it in a container.
The fire waste of the United States is appalling. Other nations stand aghast at the ruthless destruction of property which we Americans permit because of our carelessness and sloth. Fires can be prevented. If every family will destroy the waste paper, old rags, old boxes, old
accumulations of combustible matter that collect, safety will be assured for thousands of
homes. . It's a case of personal responsibility. If you individually and personally believe that you must be an active agent in preventing fires, the work will be done. If you say, "George will do it," the chances are that George will overlook it and will pass his duty on to the next man. So
believe that you are the person who is directly re
sponsible for the work.
The state fire marshal has issued the appended suggestions to safeguard your property : Things to do to Prevent Fires
Keep waste paper, packing material and rubbish
cleaned up, and remove from building at least daily.
Make frequent personal inspections from a fire stand
point.
Instruct ana drill employes on wnat to do m case
of fire. Be careful about the use of matches.
Put up "No Smoking" signs, especially in hazardous
sections. '
Wake Up and Win the War!
State
(By Albert Sahm, Secretary and Treasury of the
Life Insurance Company of Indianapolis) Come now, and let us reason together. We must win this war! The doubting time is past. To win is our salvation. To win is to keep Old Glory flying. If she goes down, time will push the dial back to midnight and our country goes in mourning. Nor dare we procrastinate. "Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Prov. 27:1. In other words, get busy. For upwards of two and a half years this country has reaped commercial success through the patronage of the warring foreign nations. But conditions have changed; we are at war ourselves now. The country's best blood is being garnered from mill and market. Men are being called to colors from desk and plow, from warehouse and workshop, from every nook and corner where float the stars and stripes. The call to arms is for universal freedom and our country's honor. We are going to place an invincible army into the field. We must feed and clothe it. We must pay it. All of which will require money and lots of it. All must contribute toward this, each as he is able. But this alone will not suffice. We must let the boys now proudly, courageously marching forward, willing if necessary for their country's honor to part with life I say we must instill into these noble hearts a feeling that the sympathy and support of the nation is behind them and thus help them win the war. We must stand by the President to a man. We must endorse his stand that we have entered upon this war not only for self-defense, but for humanity as -well. To thus stand by the President implies that each perform his part, "do his best," if you please. The brave boys called to colors will fight in battle; others will do their part on the farm, while' still others will feel charged with the duty of remaining in the mills and workshops doing more work and better. ,The nation is strong; the people should be. and I believe they are, welded together with but a single purpose, to win the war. By cheerful giving, by the utmost production by "thinking victory" as we go, we can do our part to win the conflict. With the beautiful lines of Amelia L. Burr as our slogan, let us all "fall in": Not in the flush of a barren thrill Do we Come to our deed at last; We have weighed our will, we must do our fill, For the doubting time is past. We have faced our soul in the sleeping night And what shall we fear, but sin? Not for the love of the fight, but for love of the right, In the name of God, "Fall in."

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON
A Way Opened I spent a dreary forenoon washing the dishes and putting the apartment to rights. I dreaded the . discussion with Dicky at luncheon. I had insisted before my marriage that I must fither do most of the housework, or keep up some of my old work to add to our income. To have a maid, while I did nothing to justify my existence save keep myself pretty and entertain Dicky, savored too much to me of the harem favorite. A mother of small children, a woman with a large house, one who had old people to care for, or whose health was not good, was justified in having help. But for me, well, strong, with a tiny apartment, and just Dicky, to employ a maid without myself earning at least enough to pay for the extra expense of having her it was simply impossible. I had been independent too long. The situation was galling. The postman's ring interrupted my thoughts. I went to the door, receiving a number of advertisements, a let
ter or two for Dicky, and one
I had specialized in it. and had been counted one of the most successful Instructors in that branch in the city. Woman's club work was new to me, but the husband of one of my friends had once conducted such a coarse, and I knew I could get all the information I needed from him.

dressed in an unfamiliar handwriting, to myself. I opened it and read it wonderingly. "My dear Mrs. Graham," it began. "Onr club is planning a course in history for the coming year. We need an experienced conductor for the class, which will meet once a week. Your name has been suggested to us as that of one who might be willing to take up the work. The compensation will not be as large as that given by the larger clubs for lectures, as we are a small organization, but I do not think you will have to devote much of your time to the work outside of the weekly meeting. "Will you kindly let me know when I can meet you and talk this over with you, if you decide to consider it? ' Yours verv trulv. "HELEX BRAIXERD SMITH, "Secretary Lotus Study Club. "215 West Washington Avenue." Had the solution to my problem come! Armed with this I could talk to Dicky at luncueon without any fears. The receipt of the letter put me in a royal good humor. I did not care how little the compensation was, although I knew that it would be far more than enough to pay the extra exexpense of having a maid, an expense which I was determined to defray. . Teaching or lecturing upon historical subjects was child's play to me.

WASHINGTON If you have never seen how gracefully wooden Dutch shoes can be worn you should see June Caprice as the little Hollander in William Fox's "Every's Girl's Dream," which opened at the Washington theatre today for a two days run.

fusing to make change without a plaus
ible reason. There has been a regular market for coppers at the Place Gambetta where subway employes and other collectors bring sous and double sous m rolls and dispose of them at a bonus, of 10 percent. The buyers get back the premium they pay for this small change and make an additional, profit of 15 percent, through illicit exportation to Switzerland. Though French paper and silver money is at a discount there, copper money, curiously enough, passes at par, which has provoked th systematic traffic that the police propose to stop.
