Fire Prevention Week The necessity of guarding against fire, which entails a heavy financial loss annually, will be emphasized all over the United States next week. Fortunately Richmond showed one of the lowest per capita fire losses in the state last
year, but this is no reason why vigilance should be relaxed or negligence be permitted to invite a conflagration. Most of the fires in the United States are attributable to negligence. Home owners permit combusibles to accumulate in places where the careless dropping of a match or a lighted cigar will set the house on fire. Many owners of business houses and factories do not urge their employes to exercise care in preventing the formation of fire traps, or are not vigilant in removing material that ignites easily.
Underwriters recently have asked mothers to be careful about the use of electrical appliances.
Many a housewife will leave the kitchen with an
electric current entering an iron that is standing
on a piece of cloth. It doesn't take long before
Musings for the Evening By Roy K. Moulton WHERE ARE THE OLD SONGS? What has become of "that barber
the heat has set fire to the garment and to ths house. Another frequent cause of fires, underwriters say, is the habit of housewives in leaving articles to dry on a gas oven in which the fire is burning. They seem to forget that the heat will soon ignite the cloth. Men and boys are warned not to throw matches away in a haphazard manner, but to make sure that they are out. Lighted cigars and cigarettes are the causes of many costly blazes. Fire prevention, after all, is a personal matter. If millions of individuals will watch carefully against this hazard and consider themselves personally responsible for keeping down the number of fires that might originate through their carelessness, destruction of homes
and industrial plants by fire will cease.
The insurance which an owner collects after
the destruction of a piece of property is only a
partial indemnity of society for the loss. The
material that has been consumed by the flames
can never be restored. It i3 a part of the wealth
of the world that is gone forever.
European countries are amazed at our annual fire losses. We lead the world in this respect,
but our pre-eminence is a cause for shame rather than for boasting, because the greater part of
this destruction is preventible.
Fire prevention week seeks to educate us to the plane where we will look upon a fire as a reflection on our watchfulness. The excellent
record of Richmond last year should be im proved in the forthcoming one. If our fire de
partment is not called on to extinguish a blaze, :l Ml -1.M1 1- - ' - J. 1 ,

wonderful duty for several centuries: "Swe-e-e-e-et Adoline, For you I pine. Will y o u be mine, Swe-e-e-e-e-e-t Adoline?" And. in the old days, did anybody ever pass along Main street in the small hours without hearing: "For it's alwa-a-a-a-a-y-s Fair weather When g-o-o-o-o-o-d fellows get together, With a stein on the ta-a-a-a-a-ble. And a go-o-o-o-o-o-o-d song ringing clear." For generations this old classic held the boards and any man who could not sing at midnight was a piker.

are the songs of yesterday? Something has happened to them. Are they gone and forgotten? Let us hope so.
SMILE! little irritation over the brainless admonition am immediately uplifted at tho suggestion
I must confess a just to smile. But I
Grin and bear it! You see, to smile has its place. A very prominent actor was called into the bankruptcy court the other day, a3 I noticed in my newspaper. But this was his significant remark: "A man isn't poor, if he can laugh." Carnegie once ss.id that "millionaires seldom laugh." And come to think of it, you rarely do see their pictures in the papers with broad grins on their faces. I once took a young man into my business because I liked his smile. He "got" me and I argued to myself that he would plant that smile into other people as he had planted it in me. And I was not mistaken. He is making good with the smile. The man or woman who knows how to use their smile is an artist. Sometimes it covers up a deep and lingering sorrow. Sometimes it completely buries a disappointment that has worked a great hole in one's soul. But if it is genuine, you may put that man or woman down as one of the heroes of their time. Selfishness kills off more smiles than anything else. Interest in one's own affairs, a desire to get ahead of the other fellow, and an abiding conceit that God has no place in the life of the successful, is what does away with the smiles. If I were a Doctor, the first thing I would do on entering a sick room would be to smile. How very hungry the world is for smiles! Smiles that tell, that enter that MEAN something. How often have I seen a Mother smile at her baby when it began to cry because of fear or some trivial hurt and seen the smile duplicated on the face of the child. Smile-It-Out is a good habit to form.

roamed the woodland ways; and thus I always thought of James, the hero of my younger days. And now he's bent and weak and ill, his voice a cackle, shrill and drear, and when he has to climb a hill he always shifts to second gear. I showed amazement as I stood and watched him creaking to my door; was this the hero who withstood the greensward champions of yore? "Great Scott," he cried, "can this be you, who once was pleasing to the sight? And now your girth obstructs the view, your piebald whiskers are a sight." We waked old memories that slept, and dragged them forth at bitter cost; and as we talkel we sighed and wept, each found the other such a frost.

and the sleepy brigade arrived at the scene of action to find the burning building a mass of smoke. No flames were visible from the outside. The captain made a careful survey. Then he lit his plre and started to smoke. "We'd better leave it alone an' let it burn up a bit," he said. "Their we'll be able to see what we are doing."

What was claimed to be tee most complete multiple drill in the country was exhibited at the plant of the National Automatic,Tool company. Quite a large crowd attended. The machine was formerly made for a few years in Dayton, but recently it was being manufactured at the Beallview plant. This was the first chance Richmond
people had had to see the device in operation.
There were 66 drills embodied m the single piece of mechanism, and each one of them was designed for a distinctive purpose. The device drilled two pieces of metal at the same time, thus doubling its efficiency. The drills were placed to strike the metal from seven different angles. The operator of the machine asserted that it produced two finished pieces, each containing 66 holes, every three minutes, and that the machinist had only to turn a single lever to set it in motion.

AUSTRALIANS VAINLY ! SEEKING OIL FIELDS (By Associated Press) SYDNEY. N. S. W Seekers of oil in Australia are beginning to regard their search as hopeless, it is said here. Although hundreds of thousands of
pounds have been spent by the federal government and private firms in seek
ing oil in the Commonwealth, nothing
worth while has been found.
Money rewards, as well as riches in
oil, await the successful. The Com-
monweaita government has offered a
reward of 25,000 pounds for oil in payable quantities.
Many of the searchers have centered
their activities in the neighboring terri
tory of Papua, where in some sections
oil is actually trickling from the earth at the rate of two or three gallons a
week. Despite this, government engi
neers have been unable to find the oit in commercial quantities.
Oil is a tremendously important
thing to this country of wide distances
for the motor, in car3 and in airplanes.
promises to solve many of Australia's
most acute communication problems if only a cheap fuel for the motor can be found.

OLD FRIENDS Old friends drop in from time to time, and to stale histories give tongue, and talk about the far-off clime wherein we dwelled when we were young. It always shocks me when I meet some friend I knew in days gone by, who used to walk on buoyant feet, and who was eager, strong and spry.
