IS THE BEST WAR MEMORIAL Town Hall or Library Serves Purpose Well and May Replace Monu ment* of the Past. The question of war memorials, of fitting tribute* to those who have met death through military service or whose deeds have been marked by sig nal lets of bravery, has been for a long time discussed In the foreign ar chitectural press. A plan proposed, and one that ha* met with general ap proval, has been the building In each town of a permanent memorial to mark appreciation of the heroic men who have gone forth In thl* war. This plan will undoubtedly be found to be as admirable In this country as It Is In Europe. No one, say* the American Archi tect, will criticise the patriotic Im pulse that prompted a grateful people to set up In our cities and towns the many soldiers' monuments that so often disfigure public squares and com mons and which as often cause a feel ing of deep regret to every artistic ob server. Now will be found an oppor tunity to take steps to avert In - the future a very serious artistic blunder, and no class of inen can exert a great er Influence In these matter* than ar chitect*. As the town center I* the logical place for tbcae memorials. It Is equally logical'to assume that when properly conceived they would exert u very de cided Influence on the future develop ment of the neighborhood. We need In this country a better development of community life, a more Intimate Inter mingling of the people, and there Is no greater or better method than the facilities offered by the town or village hall. A well-designed village hall or library will admirably serve the pur poses of a memorial and provide for all the people a constant reminder at the purposes of Its erection. Pood Handler* Examined. To deal with the "carrier" problem and many others along this aame line, the New York city department of health has passed sn ordinance that demands a certificate of health from every person who In any manner handles public food. The manufac turers and employees are fnJoined from hiring any person who has not such certificate, and they are made responsible for his compliance with the law. They are examined free of charge, and the public Institutions have been very generous In supplying them with free treatment when they are found not up to requirement.

Aeroplane* will win the war. It has been said by military experts that 25,000 American aeroplane* would win the war and force Germany to her knee* in a plea for peace.

The Nation * fire bill for one year would bul.d these hundred and flfty destroyers anJ equip them. Food will win the war. from May 1 to October 16 this year ienough food was destroyed by fire every minute to feed 130 soldiers. Dur ing the period under consideration sl2 - 274,050 In food alone was destroyed by America's worst enjmles—Fire and Carelessness. Money will win the war, The greatest financial scheme ever undertaken by the citizen* of a nation was the oversubscription to the First and Second Liberty loans of the Unit ed States Government. The interest on the two loans Is annual approxi mately $254,000,000. America's annua', fire bill will pay this Interest. Adequate hospitals will save count ies!! thousands of our soldiers. An Investment of 160,000 will equip a base hospital, capable of caring fir 400 nUk or wounded. The amount of waste In America for one year from those same enemies—Fire and Care lessness —would build and equip 2.600 stlch hospitals. This would approxi mate one to each half-mile on all European battle front*. Deitltute orphans In France must be saved. In deitltutlon In the bereaved homes Irt Ftance are multitude* of the chil dren of those who have given their lives on the battle fields. Appeals have been made to American benevo lence upon the basis of ten cents per day per child to provide for their Immediate necessities. Six million such little ones, or far more than the total number In need could be support ed for the cost of America's senseless destruction. The answer is up to you. Destruction of property by fire Is a matter of Individual responsibility. Each one must take It to himself as a personal matter. There are fifteen hundred fires each day in America, or more than one to the minute. What right has any one to assume that all of these will occur on the premises of "other people?" From whatever stand point It Is examined It must be realiz ed that every preventable fire, llttlo or big. Is to some degree "an aid and comfort to the enemy." Unless each citizen resolves this day that there shall be no such occurrence in prop erty controlled by him, and unless he makes this resolve effective by Imme diate inspection and correction of all fire" hazards, he cannot be considered a true patriot no matter what may be hi* confeealons. SOME OTHEfI CASUALTY LISTS Not All Are Result of Shell Fir* or Oa»—Home Existence Ha* Proven Uncertain. Not all the casualty lists printed la those day* of war are the result o( shell Are or poison gas on the battle front In France. The uncertainty of home existence la brought to mind In a recent report of a well known acci dent company showing clalma paid by the company. The following Item from the Kansls City Time* tells the story well: If tile soldldrs In the trences should read the recent report of a certain ac cident Insurance company they might have some such toolings aa the sailor whose ship was threshing about In a groat stortn at sea. "I pity the folks on shore tonight, with chimney pots falling, gutters blowing off the eavos of houses and trees falling." The report gives the record of acci dents to the company'a pollcy-holdera the last three months. K shows that a persoa doesn't have to go to war to be In danger. Nineteen men fell down italrs at home and were Injured; ten (lipped on floors and were hurt; aev enty-nlne sprained their anklea; three slipped In bath tubs and one died from that hurt; three were Injured getting oat of bed; seventy were hurt while at play; three wera fcurt while dressing, and thlrty-eeven were hurt while work ing about the houae.

Apple marketing plans should com prehend picking methods, grading and sizing methods, kind or kinds of pack ages to use, types of pock if box pack ages are contemplated, shipping meth ods and facilities, storage and methods of marketing the fruit to the best ad vantage. The time of picking apples varies considerably with the variety. In any case, however, fruit should be mature before any picking Is done. Time of picking should be determined In part, also, by the use to which the fruit is put. Grading and sizing may be done by machinery. Some form of grading is necessary to realize the highest profit. Fruit-Welghlng Apparatus. A, Shoulder harness; B, spring balance; a, scale for weighing a maximum ot CO pounds; b, scale calibrated to Indicate full box or parts ot box In tenths; e, pointer; d, d, ropes; and e, % steel hooks. Through proper grading one New York firm received two years ago n mini mum of $3.56 n barrel for Its fruit and as high as $6 a barrel for the best grades. One experiment in honest gra ding und packing Is usually sufficient to convince any grower of the policy of the practice. The advantages of the various types of storage and the type best suited to his conditions must be determined by the Individual. For the commercial grower Iced storage Is by far the best. For the average farmer or the man catering to a small market a different form of storage Is essential. The co-operative plan of marketing apples has been very successful In some sections. MORE MULCHING IN GARDENS Roots of All Planta That Lie Just Un der Burface Suffer From Freezing and Thawing. It would be greatly ttf 'our advan tage to do more mulching In our gar dens and about our shrubs and fruit trees. Boots of all plants that lie Just under the surface suffer from the al ternating freeze and thaw of our bro ken winters. The soil lifts as it thaws; consequently there la a misplacement of the roots. Their close contact with the soli Is broken and their delicate root connections are often strained apart. Even our hardier plants would make more steady growth for mulch ing. Careless mulching, however, may prove an Injury rather than a benefit. If applied before the ground has fro zen about bulbs and fleshy roots It offers shelter to the burrows of field mice and Invites them to a good feed supply as well. If applied after the ground freezes It Insures cold storage for the root system until time for a safe start In the spring, as it retards the thawing of the frozen soil. SET OUT ORCHARD IN FALL Generally Not So Much Preeaure and Hurry of Work—Rains Will Settle the Soil. In the fall there Is generally not so much pressure and hurry of work a* la the case in the spring, and this Is a good time to set out an orchard. The rains of fall and winter will set the earth among the roots so that growth can begin at the earliest moment In the spring.

THE CHRISMS DECORATIONS COMMISSIONER YOUNG WARN! AGAINST DECORATIONS WHICH FEED FIRES. * A Little Carelessness May Make the New Year a Sad One—Avoid Inflammable Decorations. "When you do your Christmarf decor ating this year Just remember there is a New Year coming and yon want it to be a Happy New Year," says Insur ance Commissioner Jamea R. Young in a statement warning against the feed ers for fire contained in many of tlw materials commonly used In Christmas decorations. "A little carelessness at this time, a little over enthusiasm to make things pretty and attractive about the home, without considering carefully whether the material used Is not likely to cause a fire, might make the New Year a sad one by the injury or death of a member of the family and the destruction of the home by Are. Just remember that the Intro duction about the premises of,_phriSt mas greens, harvest specimens and other Inflammable materials, such as cotton to represent snow and the use of motion picture machines, constitu te j an additional hazard not contem plated by underwriters in issuing poli cies of Indemnity covering the usaul fire hazard. It would be well to re member also that the standard fire in surance policy contains a clause which reads, 'Unless otherwise provided by agreement* In writing added hereto this company shall not be liable for loss or damage occurring while the hazard is increased by any means with in the control or knowledge of the In sured.' "Many disastrous fires have occur red not only in mercantile establish ments but in churches, clubs, public buildings, etc., caused by the Introduc tion of such decorations and exhibi tions and the danger to life and prop erty Is very great. The installation of electric wiring for dispia/ or advertising purposes of ten Introduces a serious fire hazard unless the work Is carefully done by men who are thoroughly competent and familiar with the necessary safe gards for this class of hazard. "A competent electrician should be called to do the work of adding to your wiring for Christmas decorations. If you use candles on a Christmas tree be very careful that children are. close ly watched while they are near the tree and that they do not light the candles. It is best to use electric lights on the trees when the wiring has been properly Installed. "Another safeguard against Christ mas fires is to be sure that decora tions are not allowed to stay up too long after use. Dry Christmas trees and evergreen decorations are very Inflammable and have been the cause of many fires, much loss of life and of property. , » "A little carelessness this year maf cause you to look with regret upon every future Christmas season." DIMS DECORATIONS Commissioner Young Warns Against Use of Inflammable Holiday Deco rations in Home and Btores. With the approach of the holiday season comes the dangers Incident to carelessness with which the holiday decorations are placed In stores, in homes, in churches and In halls where holiday festival occasions ore held. The following bulletin Issued by the State Fire Marshall of Kansas is time ly In any commonwealth: Within the next week or two the stores will have their Christmas goods on display and their windows decorat ed for the holidays. Christmas shop ping will begin and close on the heels of these things, will come the Christ mas tide Itself. Many lives and a vast amount of property have been destroyed by care lessness and thoughtlessness at Christ mas time. Merchants should exercise extreme care that their window deooratlons do not become a serious flr« hazard to their property and premises. Bad wiring and the placing of elec tric light bulbs too close to paper or other Inflammable decorations are com mon causes of window fires. Cotton and flimsy decorations that catch fire readily should be kept en tirely out of store windows. Candles or open lights of every sort should, of course, be avoided. Chrlktmaa trees at home should he decorated with metal tinsel and with asbestos fibre. Cotton paper and other inflammable material never ahould be placed on a Christmas tree anywhere and especially at this time cotton, so necessary In the manufacture of clothing and war munitions, should not be wasted In unnecessary decorations. Set the tree securely so that there may be no pes Utility of the children tipping It over. Avoid the use of candles on trees If you think you must have candles, se j that the children do not light them. Children and matches are a combina tion that frequently resulta In an un timely death. When Christmas 1s over clean up the trash and haul the tree away at once or burn it in some safe place. A dry Christmas tree Is tinder ready for the spark.

WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN Numbtr Four Military Training- Wacaaaary for Safety and Defense. "Say, Uncle Dan,"aald Blllle, "Jlm rale and I hare been looking up a boat war In the encyclopedia at school. We found that In the war between Ger many and France in 1870-71, Germany loet In killed and wounded 28,000 sol di era while France lost about all time* as many, and besides that, she lost every battle. We asked Profeasor Slo cum why this was. He said that the German army waa highly trained and ably commanded, while the French soldiers were poorly trained; and that their war department was honey combed with jealousy and politics; that the officers were not much good, and that's why France lost the war and so many men. What do you think about it. Uncle Dan?" "Well," said Uncle Dan, "Professor Slocum right By inefficiency France lost that together with two of her best provinces—Alsace and Lor raine—and bad to pay a billion dol lars Indemnity money.' France today learned her lesson by that sad expe rience, so she put in universal military training, and as a result, her soldiers now know how to fight and how to protect themselves. They are losing less men in the war than the Germans. France also put politics out of her war department, so that expert authority, Instead of bureaucratic stupidity, now directs the army. The result Is, France has one of the best and most efficient armies every assembled, and this shows what thorough training and good leadership means in warfare. This saved France in this crisis, as well as the liberties of the world." "As war Is now conducted, there is no place for an untrained man. A body of 10,000 well trained soldiers properly handled could defeat five times their number of raw recruits and do it every time with comparatively small loss to themselves. Proper train ing alone will reduce the death and casualty rate one-third of what it oth erwise would be, and right here Is an unanswerable argument for universal military training. "Our government has no moral right to force her men into war service without properly training them for it. To do so is simply murder, hence the frantic effort that is now being made to give her soldiers some training be fore they are sent to the front If we are to win this war, it will take trained men to do it, and it will take' trained men to win any other war that may come upon us in the future. If we must fight let us fight to win and not to lose." ' "That's the stuff," said Blllle. Continuing, Uncle Dan said: "Our government has expended about $300,- 000,000 to put up cantonments and training stations in order to train the men called by the selective draft When these men are trained the train ing stations should be immediately filled 'with younger men, say those in their nineteenth year, to receive six months of intensive military train ing along the lines of the Chamberlain bllL This will be of Immeasurable benefit to tbem individually. It will do them more good than any other two years of their whole life; it will make them strong, manly, self-reliant, quick to see and quick to act; It will equip them for a successful life. In short, it will rebuild American manhood and will also give the government a body of trained men to draw from in case it is necessary to defend our flag and country. We must settle this question of universal military training imme diately, otherwise these training camps may be demolished. The adoption of universal military training will be po tlce to the world that from then on we will be prepared to defend our selves promptly and efficiently, and this will do more to keep us out of war in the future than anything else we could do." "Do you think, brother," said Mrs. Graham, "that there will ever be an other war?" "I have no doubt about it" said Uncle Dan. "So long as men are selfish, so long as nations are ambi tious to acquire territory, so long as population presses and demands more room, so long as there remains a scramble for world trade—so long wars will be. When the time comes that we reach the high plane for which we hope and dream, when all will recog nize the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, then, and then only, will wars cease. When that day comes doors will need no locks, banks will need no vaults to protect their treasures, but that day is a long way off. "The only safe and sane plan is to be nble to defend ourselves at all times. Therefore, every citizen should insist that senators and congressmen shall provide for universal military training, so that never again shall the country be caught so completely un ready as this war found us. For tunately, in this case, our enemy has been held back, so we have had a few months in which to prepare. This ad vantage probably will never come again. It is however our salvation today.

N«W YOWK CITV, OMIT FIREWORKS { DURING HOLIDAYS UNPATRIOTIC AND ILL TIMEC BAYB COMMISSIONER JAS. I R. YOUNG. SHOULD BURN ND MUNEI Fireworks Made of Materials Most Needed In Prosecution of War— Should Enforce Laws. j The attention of the North Carolina Insurance Department has been called ito the fact that fireworks manufac turers are appealing to officials ol Southern cities and towns which hav« laws forbidding or limiting the use ol fireworks to lift the ban for the com ing holiday season under the plea that It will take the form of patriotic cele bration. Jt is sincerely to be hoped that no officials of North Carolina towns or cities will listen to this plea. At a time when every energy of State and Nation 1b directed toward the conservation of every resource for the prosecution of the war and the conduct of. the National defense it Is 111 timed, to say the least, to call for demonstration under the guise of pa triotiam which involves the burning of money Invested in fireworks, made of the material most needed for the prose cution of the war. This one fact Is enough to cause patriotic city officials to turn a deaf ear 'to the plea of the fireworks manu facturers. But when records of the past are brought up showing the mil lions of dollars of losses from fires in Uils country caused from careless handling of fireworks the plea presents the appearance of being out of all reason. To the man or woman -of partiotic Impulse there can be no doubt that the only place where Amer ican fireworks can have any place in the observance of Christmas in this year of 1917 is "over there." The only American official who should encour age allow or direct the handling of fireworks is General John J. Pershing "or his duly appointed agents." An insurance magazine of recent di-te discussing this plant has the fol lowing to say: "Of course these manufacturers have but one selfish purpose in view—that they themselves may wax rich from the sale of their unwelcome and un necessary goods. They are not really patriotic, and they have very foolish ideas indeed if they think that all that patriotism requires is for the public to shamefully spend their good money for fire crackers and explosives that may burn and cripple and maim peo ple. Patriotism is made of much sterner stuff. "In past years, business, social and civic organizations have urged 'saf« and sane' Christmases. Each year th« holiday haa become 'safer and saner and thousands of dollars worth o> property and many lives have been saved as a result Many cities and towns passed stringent laws against the wholesale and Indiscriminate dis charge of fireworks. The good accom plished has been apparent. "If safe celebrations of Christmas were desirous In peace times, how much more should this idea prevail BOW that oar country is at war. Fire works reqolrs material that Is used in making gunpowder for oar guns. Our allies need all the war monitions they can get.
