I Fire Prevention Week r ;
ImHIS wppIc beincr fire Drevention week, we take the odea
X sion to suggest to the careful householder that he make
a thorough inspection of the fire possibilities of his own res
iidence, tdre or factory The common causes 01 iires are ae
fective flues or wiring, hazards about the furnace or stove,
alies of refuse, oily rags, etc.
How good are your flues?.
. How well do stove pipes fit into the flue3?
; Are paper or wood close to flues or to atove or furnace
Lloors? ' -. r' ' ' -j; : ,
' Is your basement clean? And your attic? ;
i Go over your place from roof to cellar and fix up your
Premises without fail agajnst the heavy firing season of win
ter. This applies equally to the country as to the city. More
w. because there the chance of putting out a fire which
areaks out 13 very slim as compared with towns where fire
departments give quick response.
In the literature which came to this desk urging the
f calling of public attention to the week, we find a story which
reminds us that Ben Franklin, long regarded as the patron
saint for" printers, is likewise "almost a patron saint for fire
fighters. Here is the account: I
I "Benjamin Franklin,! whose alert mind saw the necessity -,
of getting aid to home owners before the truck arrived, with
! (oar other friends formed the Union Fire company in 1736.
1 There were, thirty men In this mutual assistance company and
1 each one equipped himself with six leather buckets for water
; and two linen bags for salvaging household goods. The company
J met eight times a year at a dinner for which they paid three
! chlllings. This is believed to be the first service club. Whenever
"i a eonflaeraton started in a neighborhood. Union members in
the vicinity put a light in! their front window, and brother mem
1 ben so recognized the house which they were to protest. Later a
; "metal 'fire mark was put on each Union house. The Union lasted
years, and was the: basis for fire fighting units long after
j Franklin passed on. j
- 1 "Besides organizing fire fighting. Franklin also introduced
! naanjr-fire prevention laws for building, and, public use. He ad-,
i Tocated use of brick, stone and stucco; cleaning chimneys reg
! ularly; and building; deep nd fireproof hearths. In 1752. Frank
i lia organized the first fire insurance company, a company still
j doing business in Philadelphia."

v Sol Bloom and G. Washington
ntrRITING his 'Daily Mirror of Washington" for an east
f ? em daily Clinton W. Gilbert describes Sol Bloom, who
- associate director of the Washington Bicentennial com
nission is promoting the 1932 celebration of the 200th anni-
ersary of the birth of the Father of the country. His descnp
ion amply corroborates the opinion which has been formed
of the energetic Mr. Bloom by those of us who have been on
- he receiving end of his publicity clip-sheets. y rites Mr. Gil:
jert " ' i
."A resident of Washington being presented the other day
to the Honorable Sol Bloom remarked, pleasantly, of course, "I
know Mr. Bloom. But who Is that guy George Washington?
What is he hooked up with?" Well, when Mr. Bloom gets through
the country will know George Washington as well as it knows
Representative Sol Bloom. For the benefit of the uninformed It .
honld be said that Mr. Bloom, besides being a democratic mem- .
ber of the House of Representatives trom the nineteenth con
gress district In New York City, is associate director of the
George Washington Bicentennial commission, which Is In charge
of tha celebration of the) 200th anniversary of the birth of
Geerge Washington, not merely on February 22, 1932, but all
through the year 1932.
"The ex-offlclo chairman of the commission Is Herbert Hoo
ver, president of the United States. And the vice chairman is
Simeon D. Fees, senator from Ohio, and the chairman of the .
Republican National committee. But Mr. Bloom Is the works.
. There was to be another associate director, a Republican, and
indeed, there once was one, Colonel Ulysses ft. Grant, U. S. A.,
grandson of the Civil War general of the name, but Colonel
Grant resigned his peat and now the associate directorate con
aists of, according te the Congressional Directory. "Vacancy" and
Sol Bloom. According to the letterhead of the commission, it
consists of Soi Bloom and Vacancy. Deeply as politics abhors a
vacuum, this vacuum In the associate directorate has long ex
isted end is not likely to be filled. j j
And -Quite appropriately, the tremendous energy of Sol
Bloom fills the field. There IsnoTeason for another associate
directer. Not since that first of book agents. Parson Weems, who
wrote books and then sold them. Invented the story of the cherry
tree, has any one done so much to put over George Washington
as Mr, Bloom has. A floor full of press agents turns out dally
coipy about George Washington. Every heuse in which George
Washington once slept and you know how many that was Is
Hated. PlcUres of them all maj be had a application. So thor
ough Is Mr. Bloom in finding out all that may be known about
George Washington." - -1 - ' - . !
Two men came hvto this office last week, local m erf, who had
been working in a nut orchard near Salem. After working a week or
two they called for their wages and were promptly fired because they
asked for their pay. They felt sore; because while they had earned
only about a dollar a day they didn't want to lose the work. Such
treatment even if based only on a misunderstanding" is unfair to the
worker. If the employer doesn't want to pay nntil the end of the
job the terms should be made clear when the men are taken on. Labor
i taking the rough end of the business depression; but abuse of labor
only breeds discontent, and discontent born of real injustice is social
dynamite. ; . i s : . ? I ? - s ;
Ia former years the man was rated a success who made two
blades of grasa grow where only one-did before. Nowadays lunch
counters seem to multiply like blades of grass, enly that doesn't seem
to be much proof of a man's success. --

Pennla differ in body! type as
much as do the thoroughbred
racer and the draught horse. Some
people are normally, tall and alen-
rinr and others are snort ana
heavy without being at au obese
it must be clearly unaerstooa mat
the weights given in a weight-
heiaht table are leverage weights
mi) tint ideal weights. The obser
vations of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company indicate that
after the age of 3 5- the most de-
airahlft weizht in relation to
lenerth of life is considerably on
der the average figures given la a
height-weight table. But any con
siderable ; excess over these
welehts. unless caused by unusu
ally large bones and muscles, may
be termed obesity, especially when
the waist measure exceeds that of
the chest. I
Glands May be Cause
There are a number of causes
of obesity. Food consumed in ex
cess of the body requirements Is
stored aa fat, and the more tat
la laid on. the less energy is ex
pended, and less foad Is. needed.
Therefore, after fat has once been
deposited, it is laid on with in
creasing rapidity, although there
be no increase in the diet. Obes
ity can therefore be said to be
caused by habitual pleating due J
either to ienorance or to an undue I
condness for eating. In some cases
excessive amounts are not eaten.
but the diet contains an (unusual
proportion of highly fattening
foods.
Overeating is by far the com
monest cause of obesity. In a few
cases there is a disturbance in the
internal secretions, particularly of
the thyroid, as a result of which
the basal metabolism Is i greatly
lowered, and tat will be; laid on
even on a very mch reduced
diet. Dlstur" ances In the pituitary
gland may also be a factor in in
ducing obesity. For these j reasons
any one contemplating reducing
will do welt to consult a physician
and have a" careful physical ex
amination ! Including a study of
his basal metabolism before going
on a reduced diet. But such cases
are the exception and not the
rule. The great majority of fat
people have no disturbance of
metabolism.

upper house of congress during
the I armed conflict from '61 to

Jesse Applegate himself wrote
to his brother. Lisbon, that he
could give no good reason for his
decision upon his proposed Jour

it was perhaps "destiny," ana
thus unwittingly uttered a proph

have leadership la piloting the
first large wagon train clear

of the two men, himself and Dr.
John McLoughlln, whose conclu

war I with Great Britain; to take
a leading part in forming a con

Martin near the edge of the
bank, had stepped back Involun -
tartly with a scared start, lost
his footing on the sloping, slip-

leapt out from covers to make a
dash to where now one figure
