"This indeed Is an age of great achievement and economic reforms, and foremost Is the Immense saving of property and life that can be ac complished by the prevention of fire. "Reforms come from a change of mind, and a change of mind can only come by constant mental effort. Therefore, think fire prevention, talk fire prevention and practice fire pre vention, not only on October 9. but on through the year until next fire pre vention day, and then start over again. Never relax your caution against the ever-present danger of fire on your own premises. In that way you will not only make It a habit with yourself, but will Influence oth ers. and we will all reap the benefit. "Make it a point on fire prevention day to critically examine four home. store, office, shop or factory.

I. m wilt he doing yourself a great favor, and then don't stoD keep it that way. "In America we destroy by fire five times as much per capita as do the people of Kurope. It should not be so.

Taking of evidence was begun in the circuit court here today in the case brought by James Sykes to recover damages In the sum of $5000 from Bert Macy. city recorder: Elmer Man gls and Marrls W. Welch. The case Involves the alleged ac tion of the defendants toward Sykes In a parade In which the employes of the Spauldlng Logging company par ticipated, when false news of the signing of the armistice last Novem ber was circulated, prematurely by the United Press. Remarks said to have been made by Sykes that he would not take part in the parade Inspired the defendants to assist in forcing Sykes to march in the parade nd afterwards to kiss the American j flag. Sykes complains that this action was entirely uncalled lor ana was accomplished by undue rough han dling of himself by the defendants and Intimidation by a mob which the plaintiff claims threatened among other things to throw him into the river. Sykes charges that because of the Indignities heaped upon him his health was greatly impaired. There are many witnesses to do examinea and the case may not reach the Jury before late next week.

Marlon county's apple crop this year will net the growers more than 1100, 000, according to Fruit Inspector Vantrump. who returned here today after an inspection tour of the orch ard districts. The better grades of these apples are bringing 1.7j a box In Portland, while that part of the crop used for Jellies anr other manu factured articles is selling at $16 ton. This season's crop Is believed to be the biggest in the history, of the V anfru LONDON. Oct. 4. (By the Asso ciated Press.) There was at least a slight rift In the strike storm clouds tonight. The country today had rec onciled Itself to the belief that there was an Irreconcilable break between the government and the unions in con sequence of the absolute failure of yesterday's conference between the cabinet and the trade-union concilia tlon 'committee in an effort to reach a basis whereby negotiations with the railway workers could be reopened. Two unheralded events tonight gave rise to a more optimistic feeling In government and labor circles regard ing the possibilities of a settlement. Briefly, the conciliation committee again unexpectedly visited Downing street, -and, after a conference with Andrew Bonar Law. repaired imme diately to the executive of the Na tional Union of Railwayman. I'oloa Men to See Premsyr. - At a late hour it was announced that James H. Thomas, secretary of the union, and railway delegates would see Premier Lloyd George to morrow, after having absented them selves from the mediation councils for several days. ' The visit of the conciliation com mittee to Downing street had - not teen looked for. The delegates were closeted with Bonar Law for more than an hour, at the end of which time It was announced that the interview had been adjourned until tomorrow. The nature of the conference was not divulged, but the newspapermen waiting outside the premier's resi dence noted that the members of the committee seemed more cheerful when they left. Apparently progress was made by Bonar Law and tha commit tee, as the visit of the railway dele gates tomorrow would seem to be de pendent upon some new angle which has arisen. Progress Reperted to Vnlon. After the meeting between the rail waymen'B executive and the concilia tion committee. Arthur Henderson ad mitted to the reporters that the com mittee had come from Downing street to report progress to the union. Pending the outcome of-Tuesday's meeting of all trade unions In Great Britain, the executive committee of the vehicle workers' federation will not call a strike of bus, tram and taxi drivers. In an article contributed to the Daily News today refuting an accusa tion that he Is animated by personal ambitions. James Henry Thomas, sec retary of the railway men's union, de clares that he thrice declined offers to become a member of the British cabinet. ... Mr. Thomas warns the country that If other trades unions join the strike it may result in a class struggle, which not all my counsels or moder ating influence- may avail to save the country from a violent and bloody revolution." the fact that she was Mies Ruth San- dldge and not the wife of Dr. w.
