SPROUL URGES OBSERVANCE
OF FIRE PREVENTION DAY
Proclamation Stresses Importance of
Instruction In Schools
Harrlsburg, Oct. C (By A. I)
People of Pennsylvania were today
called upon by Governer Sproul te ob ob
serve October 10 as fire prevention
day, the Governer laying emphasis upon
the Importance of systematic Instruction
in schools as a part of the observance.
In his proclamation the Governer says :
"The increasing nnd needless destruc
tion of our rountryVreseurccs by pre
ventable lire Is a challenge te our fu
ture prosperity. In snltc of our cestlv
L experiences of ruinous conflagrations
(Hiring tnc last unit century nnd our
present great need of conservation, the
burning up of our created wealth, with
attendant heavy less of life, gees en
apparently unchecked.
"Over $1,410,000,000 of our re
sources were destroyed by fire In the
five yenrs from 1015 te 1019, Inclusive.
Excepting for the year of the San Frnn Frnn
cisce catastrophe, 1020 witnessed the
greatest year's less we have ever huf
fered. with n total of $500,000,000.
But greater than this penalty li the
less of human lives. Approximately
15,000 persons, mostly women and chil
dren, arc burned te death in the United
Stntcs each year, nnd a still larger
number arc seriously Injured.
"The prevention of fills sinful waste
Is unquestionably one of the high du
ties of citizenship. It affects the wcl wcl
fare of each one of us and the future
greatness of America.
"Therefore, I, William Cameren
Sproul, Governer of the State of Penn
sylvania, by the -authority in me vested,
de designate and proclaim Monday, Oc
tober 10, 1021, as Fire Prevention Dny.
and I urge every citizen of this State
te take nn active part In mnklng this
day nnd period of practical value te that
end.

Babson Says Lines Will Be Re
habilitated When Operated
for Public Geed
BOSTON'S PLAN EXPLAINED
Atlantic City, Oct. B. "In the re-
adjustment of the Inst few years the
"freet railway but followed the history
bf all our ether modes of transporta
tion," declared Reger W. Babson, In
ternationally known flnnnclnl statis
tician, of Bosten, and prlnclpnl speaker
before the American KIrctrle Hallway
Association here this morning.
"The horse-drawn buggy, the roller
skatp, the bicycle, the automobile and
''p jitney each have had their day and
turn ns n fnd, followed by reaction.
The readjustment hns meant necessarily
the elimination of large amounts of
capital employed te sntlsfy a tempernrv
and freakish demand."
"The future of the street railway
dependfl en Its treatment from the
proper standpoint that of the public
utility. It has censed te be the pub
lic's plaything.
Service, Net rreflts
"The right read for the street rail
way Is the prodigal's reed back home.
As nn Investment It In beinir nnd will
be rehabilitated whenever It Is operated
as n lecnl community enterprise for-the
public geed for service nnd net for
promotion profits."
Servlce-nt-cest operation of the Bos Bes Bos
eon Elevated Railway In the Inst three
years has made possible public service,
that would net have been possible under
the ordinary State regulation plan.
Edward Dnnn, general manager of the
company, declared' today. Mr. Dana
believes, however, that this was largely
due te the high class beard which has
charge of the operation of the com-.
linn, nnu innt mc relative navamaccH
of scrvico-at-cest nnd Stnte regulation
operation In any Instance depend very
much en the Personnel of the public
uearus inveivcu.
I'eople Trust Management
"Servlce-nt-cest with n geed heard
permits a greater efficiency than can
be obtained under ether types of con
trol." he snid. "nnd the beard Is In
terested In obtaining such a result. Any
savings made by efficient management
In the long run benefit the public, cither
by direct Improvement .In service or ret
ditctlen In carfare. I believe that In
Bosten a great majority of the people
accept this view."
Operating under n servlce-nt-cest
plan, Mr. Dann declared, In simpler
than operating under a regulatory com
mission ns "less time Is wasted In un
necessary hearings en fantastic sug
gestions or Ill-founded complaints."
Mr. Dana told hew his company ence
faced possible advanced annual operat
ing costs of $.'1,000,000, but owing te
it net being necesnry te held public
hearings befere effecting ehnnges In
routings nnd ether economies, nctlen
was taken immediately which resulted
In the actual annual increase of only
$353,000.
Public, men nnd management worked
together; te solve Bosten's problem, Mr.
Dann said. Fares were raised by de
grees from five te ten cents, and great
economics effected without serious pub
lic objection becnuse the riders had i
faith In the control of the lines.

Thirsty Fibre Is
Distinctively Himself
leaving no basis for comparison between
ScetTissue and ordinary paper towels.
Drinking four times his weight in water and
making ScetTissue a towel that can't be
copied a towel uniformly white, soft,
satisfying and instantly absorbent.
Absorbency, and absorbency alone, deter
mines towel value cost per user is the only
basis for real economy. Thirsty .Fibre clearly
proves the wisdom of buying absorbency in
stead of paper and Thirsty Fibre is found
only in ScetTissue. One towel dries the face,
another the hands each ScetTissue Tewel
does the work which two less thirsty towels
may or may net accomplish.
Meet Thirsty Fibre face te face don't
merely take his drying power for granted.
An Unusual, Convincing Trial Test
The right way te test the economy and satisfaction
of ScetTissue Towels is te arrange te have a trial
test conducted in your wash-room in competition
with any towel you may be using. ScetTissue Towels
arc distributed through the jobbing channels and
any ScetTissue jobber is authorized and qualified te
make the trial test. ,
In addition we will gladly arrange te have a towel
efficiency expert discuss towel or toilet paper service
with anyone who is interested in improving service
and lowering annual costs, by addressing:
