MAKING BETTER FITS
In buying custom-made clothes, it seems to me that a man
should take {o his tailor all the valuables and junk that he or-
dinarily carries in his pockets. The procedure js to {it a suit
with the pockels empty and with the subject standing up-
right, shoulders squared, before a mirror.
Wiicir the suit is finished the wearer promptly fills the
pockets with handkerchiefs, cigarettes, cigars, billfold, foun-
tain pen, match-safe, and what not. Then he lets his should-
ers slump to their natural position, and the result is some-
thing dreadful.
It would also seem to be good sense that the tailor do some
+ fitting while the subject is slouching in a chair because he will
: be slouching during nine-tenths of the time that he wears the
2 suit.

A FIRE A MINUTE
Don’t leave small children alone at home!
Tragedy after tragedy has been recorded where an untend-
ed child has been either killed or disfigured for life by fire. A
recent case is cited. A boy of four and his brother of six
months were left in the house when the parents went visit-
ing. The boy pushed the baby buggy containing his brother
too ¢lose to the heating stove. A blanket caught fire, and the
. infant was fatally burned.
Other accounts tell of fires started by children playing with
matches. In still other incidents a stove door is opened or
lids lifted off’ by the child and fires are started. Fatal results
have often followed the pouring of kerosene on a fire by a
« child. All small children love to play with fire, and no pre-
= caution should be overlooked in restraining them.
= Parents should immediately take two steps. First, never
= leave your children alone at home. Second, do the simple
~and inexpensive things necessary to the elimination of com-
= mon fire hazards. All fireplaces should be screened. Clothes
# should be hung at a safe distance from pipes and stoves. All
= heating equipment and adjuncts should be periodically in-
= speeted and overhauled. Continuous care should be taken
«in handling and storing inflammable liquids. Waste of all
such as paper and rags, should be disposed of or stored
in metal containers. The wiring of electric appliances should
be checked occasionally—a frayed or twisted cord can cause
short circuits followed by fire,
Every minute a fire breaks out in America. Two-thirds of
all those fires occur in homes. Will your home be on that list

Butcher Bennett has installed a

“Fresh Air” children from New |
York. These children, selected |
from the tenement sections of New

country towns. The children are
the guests of friendly town people
who wish to be the hosts of these
little boys and girls. The children
range from four to fourteen years
of age.
A committee has been selected to
arrange for the reception of the
children. The committee carries!
on its local campaign, sends the
Fund its invitation list, receives the
Children when they arrive, and
collects them when the time comes
for their return. This is all a
“labor of love.” “Friendly Town-

they do what they do out of simple
kindness of heart.

Expert Tells
How to Avoia
House Hazards
Ignorance of Danger and
Careless Use of Modern
Equipment Is Cited
By WALTER JAMES STUBBS
Safety Engineer
The American home should be the
safest place on earth—but it isn't.
On the contrary, life in the
can home is perilous. Fire and acci-
dent make it so. And instead of de-
creasing, the nation’s peace-time
casualty list is increasing rapidly.
Adventurers go to Africa to shoot
big game; to the Alps to scale dizzy
mountain heights; to the polar re-
gions for exploration. But statistics
indicate that they may be safer than
if they had remained in their homes
in America. In 1935, according to the
National Safety Council, 31,500 per-
sons died as a result of accidents in
American homes. In 1936, the total
grew to 39,000 deaths. That is more
than double the number of fatalities
that occurred in private industry and
almost twice the number of deaths
resulting from motor accidents dur-
ing the same period.
The worker in his factory or en
route to and from home by motor is
safer than he is at home. He is care-
less at home. He is more careful at |
work or on the road.
Fire is a tremendous hazard in the
American home. According to the
National Fire Protection Association,
a home is attacked by fire every two
minutes throughout the year in this|
country. In 1935, there were 260,000
home fires and the loss totalled be-
tween $85,000,000 and $100,000,000.
Eight thousand deaths were caused
by burns, fires and conflagrations.
Eighty per cent of those deaths came
from fire in the home.
The use of combustible roofs, in-
stead of fire-retardant roofs such as
asphalt shingles and tiles; careless
habits in smoking and the use of
matches; defective chimneys and
flues and defective wiring are among
the major factors in the tremendous
annual fire loss.
Fire and accident can be virtually
eliminated in the home through care.
Make a survey of your home today.
Note the unsafe conditions in cellar,
on roof, wherever they exist. Inform
other members of your family of
these dangers immediately. Then set
about the task of making them safe.
Failure to recognize unsafe condi-
tions and failure to correct them
after they have been noted are the
fundamental reasons for America's

NEW YORK (Special).—“Good old
Douglas fir” from the Pacific North-
west will provide the foundations for
the most spectacular of wonders at
the New York World's Fair of 1939.
This was learned when the Fair
Corporation offices in the Empire
State building announced the pur-
chase of more than $100,000 worth
of fir pilings from the National Pole |
Treating Company. This particular
lot of fir sticks will be driven into the
ash fill of the 1216%-acre exposition
site to guarantee the support of the
two unique structures forming the
Theme Centre of the “Nation’s Fair.”
These are the 200-foot Perisphere, a
globe seemingly supported on the wa-
ters of fountains, and the Trylon, a
700-foot triangular needle or beacon
and broadcasting tower.
Shipments of the 1260 sticks, 95 to
99 feet in length, are taking place this |
month, after creosote treatment has |
been accorded them either at the Na-
tional Pole and Treating Company's
plant at Hillyard, Washington, or at
the Minneapolis yards.
This is the Fair's second purchase
of fir from Northwest sources. An
order for 770 sticks of similar length |
was filled early this year from Ore- |
gon cuttings. This earlier shipment of |
piling supports the Fair's $900,000 ;

HOT WEATHER CAUSES
SMALL EGGS
Farm flock owners have noticed
that smaller eggs are produced by
the laying flock during hot wea-
ther, report Penn State poultrymen.
This decrease in egg size may
amount to 15 to 20 per cent and
will effect the market value of the
product.
