ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS o u r OUR WAY
Jacob Bier, who runs a little butcher shop in
Hoboken, N. J., is cheerful on the occasion of tho
one hundred seventh anniversary of his birth. He
says:
“ A hundred years and yet a. hundred more
added to my life would not be enough, because the
longer I live the better the world becomes, and the
easier it becomes to liv e .”
•
And, of course, like all persons who get through
the first hundred years, he has a formula fpr longe­
vity.

Here it is:
“ Go to bed at seven and rise at six ,’’ he advises.
“ Raise a large fam ily. Hat any kind of meat at least
once a day. Smoke and drink when you pleiase. D is­
regard all negative suggestions giveu by friends
and relatives. D on’t stop working. And ig, after
keeping all-these rules, you can still enjoy all the
modern vices, do so .” *
We have alw ays been told it is the first hun­
dred years that are the hardest; but, if like Bier,
we can get through them by m aking no more
sacrifices than he made, we sliqll be very happy that
we have lived that time and w ill prescribe to his
statement that this is a pretty, good world after all.
Sound Statement on Timber
In discussing the subject of our. future timber
supply, Prank G. Wisner, president of the National
Lumber Manufacturers’ association, in a recent
article in the N ation’s Business, says that the for­
ests, nature’s timber factories, are the greatest
production organisation in the world, and that with
care and propagation our timber supply w ill be in-
exhaustible and adequate for all proper uses.
Mr. Wisner says that as legitim ate substitutes
for wood are found, they will be generally adopted,
but that npw uses for wood w ill arise just as in the
case of building with concrete which replaces Wood­
en structures.
“ So protean is the suitablity o f wood for hu­
man uses that despite all the synthetic materials,
its uses have increased from 2000 in numbr ten
years ago to 4500 today. Rot and fire are the chief
enemies of wood. Preservative chemical processes
have already multiplied the lives of ties, posts and
poles by three or more. Incombustible paints and
impregnations have made a start in opposition to
fire, but a great field is here. This is something the
chemists can do today, now. To make wood slow-
burning and eliminate the fire hazard w ill confer a
social servioe of universal benefit.”
Labor Sanity Stabilizes Nation
During the boom times of 1920, an average of
8.4 per cent of all the factory employes of the
United States voluntarily quit their jobs. The year
before, 5.8 per cent of the workers threw up their
jobs. In the panic year 1921, only 2.225 per cent, or
one-quarter as large a percentage as in the boom
year, voluntarily gave up their places. The percent­
age increased in 1922 and 1923, to fall again to 2.68
l»er cent in 1924, and then up to 3.1 per cent in 1925.
Jn general, the factory turnover is in direct ratio
to the general prosperity. When factories are short
of help, so that any newcomer can pick up a job,
the percentage of voluntary quits instantly rises.
The increasing purchase of industrial securities
by employes is tending to cut down the turnover in
the lowest grades of unskilled labor. Stock bonuses
and rewards for continuing employment are making
it easier for men to settle into an effective partner­
ship in almost any industry. The better times appeal
to the itching feet of many low-grade workers; to a
liercentagc that nothing but starvation and misery
would reduce, tho never eliminate. Thgt this per­
centage can grow so slowly and to so negligible a
proportion of the nation’s workers, even when
prosperity is so marked as it is today, is splendid
proof that the nation is basically sound.
Teach Sanctity of Life
School children inspection of fire liaxRrds is
credited with saving Kansas City a million dollars
in needless fires, within the past five years. The
children are trained in the school« to note and to
eliminate fire risks; and they are encouraged to
make their city safe front fire by jtointing out or
abating these proven hazards.
i
Every needless fire is that much wanton dvstruo
'tion of the life work of those who built the prop­
erty, whatever it is. From this standpoint, every
fire is a public calamity, uven a crime. To teach
Jhe children to abate fires is to teach them the
«anctity of life.
