He went to the window and sniffed snif-fed again, and what he sniffed still pmelled like smoke. In pan ic, he scrambled down an outside! fire escape. When he got to the sidewalk, he sniffed once more and looked around. And there was the fire pile of tar paper scraps burning burn-ing in the street. To similar fire-jittery hotel patrons, pa-trons, the National Board of Fire Underwriters offers this bit of advice: In case of fire in a hotel, close the door to your bedroom, bed-room, then lean out the window win-dow to get sufficient fresh air to sustain you until the fire department extinguishes the flames or rescues you. The Underwriters, alarmed over ov-er the death toll in hotel fires recently in Chicago and Dubuque. Du-buque. Ia.. would like to stress the fact that panic is one of the biggest death causes in such tragedies. trag-edies. The Underwriters are not the only ones alarmed. The nation's na-tion's traveling salesmen, whose national council points out that some of its members spend as much as 200 nights a year in ho-i tcls. is strongly urging uniform national safety laws governing i hotels.

"Red meat, I call it" says Mrs. Louis Kirby. head of a children's bookshop in Richmond, Va. 'Tetcr Rabbit holding forth at a tea party or gamboling on a well-kept green bores the kids stiff." Mrs. Kirby holds.

"The children I run into would not give the Rover Boys the lime of the day. Too well-behaved. Mrs. Kirby, who disapproves of the books of torture and horror for children, calls parents and authors the stumbling-block in children's reading. "They lean too much on what the so-called authorities say.'' said. "Parents should be guided by their children in selecting children's books not, by educators. educa-tors.

Campbell also urged the senate small business surplus subcommittee subcom-mittee to support strong penalties for violation of the surplus property prop-erty act. 1 "Otherwise." he said, "We'll have racketeering and scandals which will make the racketeering iof prohibition days look like a Christian Endeavor meeting." Campbell said he believed too much emphasis has been placed on getting jobs for veterans and not enough on helping them start their own business through distribution dis-tribution of surpluses. He said the war assets administration admin-istration should sell the goods di rectly to veterans from storage depots and spend more money on advertising. If the agency can t ,get trained personnel, he said, it ishould establish a fair selling! commission and turn the job over! to private firms. Campbell, now army liaison officer of-ficer with the agriculture depart-iment depart-iment and UNRRA. said he visited all theaters of war at the request of the late President Roosevelt to survey postwar plans of servicemen. service-men.
