Water users of Salem are warned 'to watch closely the water pipes in their hornet and places ot business until all flange of freezing has passed. Users are urged to use the fol lowing precautions: Find out definitely where the water can be shut off from the entire premises. - . . If pipes become frozen use , care -in thawing them and work back -from the fawcets in order to let any steam that may accumulate escape. Keep the fawcets open until the pipe ". is thawed. If the heating coils in tho furnace or stove, or any part of the hot water system freezes, shut the water off from the en tire premises Immediately and , call a plumber. If It Is absolutely necessary to keep a fire under or around the coils alter tne water is shut off, open the hot water fawcets.'. The principal - danger then is that the coils will burn out and allow the water in the cffils to escape in- to the stove or furna.ee. , To prevent ' freezing do not allow the water to run. Some parts of the city are already ; without water because of this form of wastage and unless the water pressure is kept up tha : city fire department will helpless in case of fire. . CUPPER TtttS i MIME (IF PHI Washington, Dec. 13. Senator Ar thur Capper ot Kansas, who declared war on black flag profiteers in a speech on the senate floor yesterday today outlined for the United Press the remedies which he believes should be ! applied to the high price evil. His pro. posed solution of the problem follows: By Senator Arthur Capper, (Written for the United Press.) Nothing would do as much to stop profiteering as to Jail the robbers who have made fortunes the last year or !two by gouging the publie on food- I stuffs, fuel and other necessities of life. T I Not less than 16,000 brand new mil (llonaires have been created in this ? country during the war and In the year 4.,at jMtirfn.. in a nlnae. It is not trou- b9 able to find profiteers of the rankest CLEAN THE STREETS. r - ' - - Salem faces the danger of extensive property damage and danger to pedestrians and others unless the snow is cleaned from the streets in the business section of the city before the temperature moderates and a thaw Bets in. :. A rapid tha under present conditions would do more damage than it is possible to estimate. With the gutters piled high with snow which is freezing tighter, every hour and most of the drains already frozen, or partly so,, the deluge of water which would result from a thaw would flood most of the base ments and backwater from the congested drains would make rivers of the sidewalk's and crossings. Under these conditions a drop in the temperature below the freezing point would make any sort of travel hazardous. Like other cities Salem must cope with this danger and get the snow off the streets in the business section . of . the city. Trucks are being used in many places for this purpose and in others the snow is being removed with graders and teams. "Whatever is done must be done at once. The thaw may come at any hour and when it comes it will work faster than , can the human hands in their efforts to check its damage. nil IP G10W1IT BY VILLA BMifi Although three days have elapsed sUice the snow began to fall in Salem iany citizens have made no effort to clear off the sidewalks abutting their property.
