Some years ago the Pulitzer Prize award for the best car- toon of the vear went to John T. McCutcheon. The cartoon showed a sad and shabby man seated upon a park bench. A squirrel playing in front of him asked: “Why didn’t you save vour money?” The derelict replied, “I did!” Thousands of men have saved their money al an age when their fortunes could not be rebuilt. ing is one thing, and security of principal is another. Unhap- pily, they don’t always go together. Every man should place a part of his savings in some plan, which guarantees the maximum of security. Only the spare dollars should be used for speculation—for ventures which, though they may return a great profit, may also result in 100 per cent loss of the principal employed. Before taking risks, -only to lose it For sav- ture. We believe in giving good sound advice and practicing, whenever possible, what we preach, but just now with a hun- lections and many other reasons, its mighty difficult to switch a dollar for a rainy day, particularly in our business. WHEN 111,000 AMERICANS DIED A generation has passed since the sinking of the Titanic, vet that great disaster is still well remembered. Fifteen hun- dred persons died. The Johnstown flood will never be forgotten—the world was aghast when the death total of 2,209 was tabulated. The World War was the most sanguinary conflict in his- tory. In it, 50,000 Americans lost their lives, and they are still mourned. The recent Texas school explosion, which killed 294 chil- dren, brought universal sympathy and horror. Yet last year 111,000 Americans met accidental death more than twice as many as were killed in the great war— and it eaused hardly a ripple in the flow of news. We read of some of those accidents in our paper—"John Jones, aged 45, died in emergency hospital after being struck by an auto- mobile” —turned the page, and forgot them. This astound- ing callousness—this attitude of “Accidents always happen to the other fellow, not to me or mine” death’s greatest alley. Among men, heart disease is the only thing which kills more men than accidents. Such plagues as cancer, tubercu- losis, pneumonia— plagues which are being fought by all the resources of science—are down the list. Recklessly driven automobiles, burns, falls, drownings, and so on—these are the great killers. Practically every accident is preventable and this is espee- ially true of the motor car, greatest of all the great killers. Care, competence, courtesy—these make up the accident pre- vention triumvirate. It's Op to you—to all of us. OPPORTUNITY I OR SMAL L. BUSINESS MAN In a reeent issue of Harper's Magazine, John Allen Murphy writes on “Can the Small Business Man Survive?” He covers : business and industry generally, and pays special attention to retailing, of which he says: “With scarcely an exception, re- tail establishments of the United States started humbly. In most cases the voung storekeeper was his own buyer, clerk, window washer, and janitor, at first. Most of the gigantic chains were founded with one store, and there were long, hard struggles before a second was launched. Chains start- ing with many units have rarely succeeded. It appears neces- sary for a business to establish itself slowly, laying one stone at a time. “The evidence is overwhelming that the man has a chance.” To say that opportunity no longer exists for the small re- tailer to grow and prosper, is to blind oneself to the facts. During the depression, many a little store founded on a shoe string managed to make both ends meet by serving the pub- lic honestly and well, and now is on the road to expansion. A chain system that now has many hundreds of outlets in the Western section of the country, was started by a young man with only a modicum of capital, who forsaw the public de- that would give the best possible service at the lowest possible cost. The old adage, “Great oaks from little acorns grow,” was never better exemplified than in re- small business © Today many a little retailer is working 18 hours a day, with ambitious plans in the back of his head for expansion of business and income—plans that will one day mature and be- come realities.

Better Rural Protection In reporting for the Fire Preven- tion committee, Earl F. Lefever stated a plan of fire protection for buildings is being worked out. He said on completion of the plan it will be submitted to the fire insurance underwriters with a view to securing better insurance rates for those meeting the require- ments of the plan. Timid Firemen It was stated that in all organizations the vast majority are too timid to express themselves in an open meeting. To overcome this the firemen adopted a suggestion system to provide an opportunity for the men to get their ideas be- fore the proper person without taking the floor. Individual awards will be made for those adopted, and an annual honor award will be made to the fire company scor- ing the highest number of points.
