What would you say if some of the people persisted in doing things which kept you on the jump all the time to keep the place from burning up 7 suppose . you heard one of them say. when ask ed why he was not more careful about where he tossed his cigarette butt "Why should I care, it isn't my mill.' Frankly now, what would you say? After all, isn't that practically what we reply when we are persistently careless not only with hre but with other things, too? There are hundreds of ways in which we can prevent fires. We can be careful with matches and with cigarette butts. The largest single cause of fires in this country is cigar ettes. In 1926 fire losses of $30,160, 000 were caused by this one alone Before you throw away that match or cigarette be sure it is out. Before you throw away your lunch papers look for the rubbish can. Do unto others as you would like others' to do unto you. This is one of the best rules of life ever present ed to man. In your habits, it is too much to ask you to suppose it were yours ? From Safeguard ing America Against Fire. Thirteen outstanding Far Western boys, the pick of three thousand youthful residents of California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada who at tended this Summer's Citizens' Mili tary Training Camps will uphold the rii'le shooting supremacy of the Far West against crack shots from all parts of the United States at the National Rifle Matches to be held August 26 to September 16 at Camp Perry, Ohio. Major-General John L. Hines, commanding the Ninth Corps Area, U. S. Army, at the Presidio under whose supervision the C. M. T. Camps were held, selected the thirteen as the choice among the three thousand, it was said at Army headquarters, because of their "mark edly good character, sense of re sponsibility, and ability to become in structors in rifle practice." Besides forming the Ninth Corps Area C. M. T. C. Rifle Team which will meet C. M. T. C. teams from all over the country for the National rifle honors, the Far Western youths will toe the firing line with sharpshooters of the Regular Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and civilian shooting clubs, many of them marksmen of International fame. Despite their youth, thesa youngsters are likely prospects to score against adult and veteran marksmen in the numerous matches of National prominence. A youth who had not pussed his nineteenth birthday defeated grizzled Regular Army men and decorated heroes of the World War's fiercest engage ments, winning the individual rifle championship of the A. E. F. after the Armistice. In the National Matches a year ago, one of the most dangerous contenders in the classic President's Match proved to be sixteen-year-old Dave McDougal, a Boy Scout from Washington. Highways are an investment that pays real dividends and shows pro fits, according to Frank Page, Chair man of the North Carolina Highway Commission. In a recent speech, he showed what benefits have come to that state from its fine roads. As the first item, Mr. Page listed relief to towns and counties and sav ings to road users, through reducing wear and tear and losses. Second, educational opportunities. Third, the rapid, cheap and safe transportation of agricultural pro ducts. Fourth, factories avoid congested centers and labor needs no tenements in town. Fifth, increased accessibility of re sorts and places of scenic interest. Sixth, the appeal good highways make to potential residents. Seventh, social advantages, by do ing away with isolation. These arc highway "dividends" that are paid in every state and every locality. A community that neglects building good and adequate roads is condemning itself to mediocrity and retrogression.
