Metropolitan dailies of the United States have carried pages of publicity and illustrations of the Dempsey-Gibbon- s prize fight or boxing match at Shelby, Mont. Relays of airplanes rushed photographs to the Atlantic coast for publication and no amount in money was spared to picture the event through the press and the films. Dempsey has been given millions of dollars worth of advertising which will pave the way for his proposed fight with Luis Firpo, the recent victor over Willard. Contrast the publicity given to these events with the few lines that are sent out over the wires when a railroad places a $50,000,-J0- 0 order for. equipment or material which will give employment c o thousands of workmen for months; or when a to from of $25,000,000 $100,000,000, turns in 'lant, built at a cost he water that makes electric current for thousands of homes, farms tnd factories; or when a telephone cable is laid at- an expense of )35,000,000 from Chicago to New York for the better service of Such events may be given a paragraph over millions of people. he wires.

Since! it is difficult, or impossible, to teach an old dog new tricks, it has been recognized by educators that in order to sten the tide of destruction by fire, the younger generation must b brought to realize that the incineration of material wealth at th rate of $1,429,730 a day represents a national danger and b taught the rudiments of fire prevention so as to wage a successfu battle against the flames. There has consequently been a growing movement for fir prevention education in the schools and eleven states have already placed upon their statute books measures calling for such instruction Only fifteen minutes a week are devoted to the. subject, but it i: held that even in this space of time much good may be accomplish ed. In order to meet the demand for a standard work in instruc tion, the National Board of Fire Underwriters, with the assistance pf the U. S. Bureau of Education has published a manual knowi as Safeguarding the Home Against Fire, and this is the basis oi study in practically all of the states.

MISSTATEMENTS Since the general increase in building costs appeared to b reaching an alarming peak, there have been persistent efforts oi the part of uninformed statisticians, careless economic services anc deliberately untruthful representatives of substitute materials, ti hold up the lumber industry as principally responsible for this situa tion. In a recent letter to Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt, President ol the American Construction Council, Mr. Edward Hamilton, Presi dent of the New Jersey Lumbermens Association, said: The retail prices of lumber and lumber products which entei into construction of an ordinary frame dwelling are considerabl; lower than those of April and May, 1920.

A California law goes into effect August 31 requiring motor vehicles carrying passengers for hire, school busses or trucks carrying explosives or inflamables to come to a full stop before crossing steam railroad or interurban or suburban electric railways. The necessity for such a law in all states has been emphasized n Oregon where three different automobiles were driven on to the The reSouthern Pacific Co.s tracks in front of oncoming trains. In each instance sult has been two deaths and several injuries. the track was in clear view a mile or more in each direction. Not only should the California law be adopted in other states but it should be made more stringent and require that all automobiles, either commercial or private, must come to a stop before :rossing railroad tracks. The California law provides a fine of $500 or imprisonment not with the law exceeding six months, or both, fo license of A driver's vehicles. commercial fine. or by suspension vehicles. could to be applied or both priviate mon-complian- LESS GOVERNMENT, LESS TAXES Defenders of soaring tax rates usually attempt to justify thei: WHAT INDUSTRY DOES position by contending that the government is rendering a greatet Los Angeles residents have more money per person with which services and taxpayers should therefore be willing to pay for it. to purchase the necessities and luxuries of life than have the resident!

When the pullets are about twelve lo fourteen weeks old or after the blooming molt they have a new coat if feathers and it will be necessary to clip the flight feathers of the same wing again. These feathers vill not grow out again for about a year and by that time their habits tf like are pretty well fixed. They grow and develop with the idea that they cannot fly and they not not try when their wings grow out again. It will not be necessary to crop them again, as long as they are not moved from place to place.
