In a very short space of time a large part of the country will be experiencing rainy days and cold nights. And not far a way are the months of snow and sleet and storm. Winter is something td get ready lor. That means buying new warm clothes, or repairing and cleaning old ones. It means buying wood and coal and fuel oil. It means fixing that leaky spot in the roof that has been neglected during the dry summer. And finally, to the wise householder, it means tak ing special precautions against a des troyer that waits for winter—fire. Have your furnace inspected — and have that inspection done by some bo<ty who knows what to look for. It’s no work for an amateur. Have needed repairs effected at once. See that chimneys and flues are properly clean ed. Hard pressed heating plants in bad order are one o|f the most prolific sources of home fires. It’s no fun to wake up in the middle of th^ night and suddenly realize that your house is burning away l>eneath you. Winter means that you’ll use lights oftener. Exposed electric wir ing should be checked. Pay special at tention to lamp cords under rugs and around baseboards—they fray in time, and when that happens a short circuit may occur. Electricity, mishandled, is one of fire’s potent allies. Go through your whole house and get rid of any arid all accumulations— old clothes, old papers and magazines, collections of rags, etc. They make a fine starting place for fire —and spon taneous ignition isn’t so rare a pheno menon as you may think. WELL EARNED PRAISED FOR RETAILING Just before the recently held “Na tional Retail Demonstration Week,” the President of the United States wrote a letter to the head of one of the leading retail associations. In that let ter, he said: “Your observance last year took place shortly after the out break of tragic hostilities in Europe. At that time I said it was essential, be cause of this new situation, to prevent any general rise in prices that would absorb purchasing power and block e^xparfpion of sales volume. All of us can look back with pride now on the nation’s retailers as well as other seg ments of our economic life in prevent ing a price boom. “The need to keep prices in check is as strong, if not stronger, than it was a year ago. Prevention of any run away rise in the cost o>f living is an im portant phase of total national defense. Because of the enlightened conduct of the nation’s retailers last year, I am confident they will discharge their re sponsibility as well this year.” The consumers of America know how well retail industry has earned such praise. Profiteering- would be a very simple matter fcr any organized group of retailers, and they could get awa,y with it for a considerable length of time. Yet not one major instance of profiteering has come to light. To the donftrary, the retailers of the country are working in the closest possible co operation with government bureaus in fighting unjustified price rises. They are helping show' the consumer how he may obtain better products for less money. They are featuring substitut es fol* articles in which there is a shor tage, due to national defense demands. All in all, both the chains and the pro gressive independents are pushing a well rounded program, designed to give every possible protection to the consuming public—<even as it is design ed to better the market for the produc er. Here is a public service of the very first importance. Ybu can thank American retailing for doing a fine job in helping maintain our American standard of living. WOMEN AND LIFE INSURANCE Women, according to well subtan tiated legend, know a good thing when they see it. And that seems to be true when it comes to building up savings, no less than in buying clothes or decor atirig a home. More than 17,000,000 wdpnen are owners of life insurance. In a recent year about 20 per cent of all life insur ance purchases were made by the fair sex. That is a very high proportion when y|ou think that, even in these days of equal rights, the great major ity of wtage earners are still men. The ladies deserve praise for their foresight. For no one ever devised an ecoirnmic protection for the individual, male or female, one half so effective, safe and certain as life insurance. THE DANGER WE FACE “We have in this country, both in and out of government, a fairly large number of persons who have lost faith in the principles of private enterprise and democracy—If the American pub lic doesn’t soon recognize what is go ing on, it will find one of these days that our basic political and economic J safeguards have been hopelessly under mined.” THE LOW DOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE If jyou have ever been out west you have seen a hound-dog tearing up the landscape, chasin’ a jack rabbit. The whole performance, so far as I can re search it out, is just a dog’s idea of do ing something, useless. No dog would get any real enjoyment gnawin’ on a lean and tough jack rabbit, if he ever caught one—Which he usually don’t. But the human mind is half the time kinda single track too, like a hound?s. We tear ojit licketynsplit at the drop of the hat on most any jack rabbit political excursions that some body will talk up. We never like it where we are—we want to be else where. If som person tells us that the grass is greertest on his side, we don’t rest until we find out. And after we do find out and get our vest dusted off, we are a good prospect fo^ the next a gent. Maybe the next time, the pasture really will be greener—anyw ay it won’t be worse, this time. Yours with the low down, Jo Serra STUDENTS SAY NO LOGICAL ARGUMENT AGAINST 3rd TERM Washington—Students of Amer ican history and others interested j in political trends and the discus j sion on a third term for President Roosevelt agreed, after a confer ence here this week, that the much talked ‘3rd term’ had no place in this campaign, so far as colored voters are concerned. A few students from Howard University, who declined to permit the use of their names, issued a joint statement to newspapermen, in which jt was declared that Geo. Washington found it wise to avoid any commitment on the question of the number of terms a President should spend in office. From files in the Congressional Library, it was 'earned that Wash ington once said: “I can see vo propriety in precluding ourselves front the services of any man, who in some great emergency, shall ue deemed, universally, most capable of serving the public.” The diligent students also (tutt ed the late President Grant, who said: “It may happen in the fut ure history of the country that to change an Executive because he has been 8 years in office will prove unfortunate, if not disas trous.” The checkup by the students placed advocates of Wendell Will* kie behind “the 8-ball”, according to campaign workers for President Roosevelt. UTILITIES DISTRICT INSTALL NEW CASH IER CAGES Four new modern cashier cages that provide customers with better facilities for paying their service bills, and facilitate the work of the tellers, have been biult in the first floor sales room of the Metropol itan Utilities District. They were put into use Saturday morning, September 28. The cages have a wide tnaible ledge for convenience of custom ers on Which they may rest their bundles, handbags and purses and count change. Lighting of the cages and adjacent area has been improved by installing flourescent daylight units in the cages and large indirect units overhead. The hew lighting prevents eyestrain for both customers and the tellers. In each cage, the teller is also pro vided a modern postude chair giv ing greater comfort and helping to speed up the work of waiting on customers. Modem, electrically- powered cash registers record payments re ceived, issue receipts and furnish p, daily total. This also increases efficiency and speeds up customer service. The private office of A- C. An derson cashier, adjoins the teller’s cages makilhg him available prom ptly for consultation in regard to customers’ bills or to answer ques tions about services. J. I).
