AN AHTI-ALCOHOL CAMPAIGN Mexico City President Ortiz Ru bio in a signed order Sunday sum moned the whole hearted support of his government for the anti-alcohol campaign started by former President Portes Gil. In a signed order the president directed the national anti alcohol committee, acting thru the department of the interior, to remind all state governments that it is the president's desire that the anti-alco hol campaign be continued and inten sified. "My government earnestly desires and requests the co-operation of all officials, with all the means possible, in the anti-alcohol campaign," the president's order said. Ortiz Rubio and the secretary of the interior, Portes Gil, also circu larized all state and territorial gov ernors ordering them to enforce strictly the religious laws, especially making sure that religion is not taught in private or public schools, as this is contrary to the law. The government recently ordered closing of several schools tor violation of the religious statutes. Instructions sent to governors al so commanded them to see that priests register as prescribed by the law and that the number of priests in each state does not exceed the number permitted by the state legis lature in accordance with the .con stitution. CURBING ACCIDENTS The automobile accident menace will not be curbed until "drivers "think safety." During the past ten years, through intensive safety work, the American railroads have reduced fatalities on their property, owing to conditions within their control, CI per cent. The accident record in almost all other industries has steadily de creased, due to untiring efforts that have impregnated a knowledge and a consciousness of safety in the minds of workers. Contrast this with the automo bile accident situation. La:-t year motor vehicles were responsible for the deaths of 31,300 persons a ne w high record. This represented a 13 per cent increase over the 192S rec ord, while automobile registrations gained but eight per cent. Motor vehicle accidents lead all other causes of accidental death by a wide margin. There is but one encouraging cir cumstance. Accidents to school chil dren are cn the decrease due to the fact that safety education is part of the curricula in modern and progres sive schools. Every reckless and irresponsible driver is a menace to all the rest of us. Persons who disregard safety should be prevented from using the public highways. uy your Eastern novelties, can dies and ereetine cards at the Bates Special Prices on Chicks!

ELMER C. WILD, Mgr. A GROWING MENACE In spite of the efforts of public and private organizations, fire waste is tremendous in America. It is the greatest enemy of social and indus trial progress. In 1913. the loss totaled $203. 763,550. By 1920, it had almost trebled, reaching a total of over ?5CO,000,000. In the next year an appreciable reduction was effected, the total being less than $473,000, 00, as a result of intensive cam paigns to promote carefulness, bet ter building construction and more adequate fire-fighting facilities. In 19 2S, only a small reduction was effected and the total exceeded $464,000,000. Loss since then has remained at approximately the same level. It is evident that a vast amount of educational work remains to be done. Americans fail to realize the eco nomic results of fire, t destroys part of our national wealth and causes unemployment and loss of wages. It (an check the growth of communi ties when men, thrown out of work by fire, must seek employment else where. Our fire losses can he cut in half at least, according to "Safeguarding America Against Fire," but this will not come about until the public, realizing the economic waste of fire, learns to build better and practice carefulness in the matter of fire hazards. Orsr yearly sacrifice of lives and property is inexcusable. AIR MAIL SERVICE VIA GRAF ZEPPELIN First Europe-Pan-American Round Trip Fight.
