If a person is down, lift him up, and if he is up, let's keep him there and put others with him. Think of the other person some instead of ourselves always. ?oOo TRAGEDY PEEVENTION Two hundred capital stock tire insurance continues with resources of hundreds of millions of dollars, are engaged in the business of tragedy prevention. Through regional and national organizations, such as the Nation al Board of Fire Underwriters, they study many thous ands of tires throughout the country every year. They search for causes, work out ways to prevent repetitions. ! Tlieir recommendations are free to ever.Vcity and town, ! for the benefit of every individual. This is an interesting example of the manner in which ' a modern industry working under a policy of enlight ened self interest, has automatically become a vitai na tional asset. Of course tire insurance companies sell fire insurance. But tire insurance can never completely ameliorate the tragedy of fire. Loss of material wealth can be replaced; loss of jobs and wages and life as a re sult of fire, spell individual tragedy that alters the course of hundreds and thousands of lives annually. The prevention work of the fire insurance companies is in reality a mighty aid in solving the problem ot' so cial security. The avoidance of a single conflagration means the avoidance of scores, perhaps thousands, of lost jobs. Close cooperation with the forces of tragedy preven tion, should be regarded as the duty of every citizen. ooo SUICIDE AND MANSLAUGHTER Just why many seemingly intelligent drivers of auto iqpbilcs are continually attempting suicide and man slaughter, is beyond understanding. Their actions any place but iu an automobile would in most cases place them under mental observation' or in jail. W. Ai. Jeffers, President of the Union Pacific Rail road, announced on January 19, that from .January 1 to that date, there had been 13 cases where drivers had carelessly run into the side of trains at crossings, or stalled their cars on railroad tracks of the Union Pacific, at widely separated locations iii seven states. A stalled automobile on a public highway crossing derailed a fast mail and express train, killing the engineer and fireman. "Carelessness on the part of automobile drivers is to blame iii every instance of this sort," said Mr. Jeffers. "In all the cases since the first of the year, not a single one was trying to beat a train to a crossing. Every one was a case of utter failure to look both ways in approach ing the crossing, and stopping to make sure. "The public usually tries to blame the railroads for causing accidents, but the cases where any blame can be attached to the railroad are rare indeed. There is little excuse for ,a driver . . . who drives into the side of trains." . ., ,, Because of more dangerous conditions iu winter, driv ers should be extra cautious. Sanity says stop, look and listen at railroad crossings. The figures given by Mr. Jeffers are startling and a timely warning to police and highway patrol officers to be on the look-out for potential killers at railroad crossings. oOo THE HELPLESS MATCH Fire menaces the preservation of society's most cher ished things: property, jobs and family. When you hold a match in your fingers and the clear flame points toward the ceiling in silent beauty, it is hard to believe that with a little help from its allies around the room ? cigarettes, waste paper, curtains? jit could consume the house in which you are sitting. All these allies seem far from dangerous; but every day a match or cigarette is dropped into waste paper, or a bed, and loss, and perhaps death results. Every day a stove with a faulty flue is setting fire to a dwell ing. Every day an unscreened fire in the fireplace shoots a spark out into some inflammable object in the room and Bets fire to it ? maybe in the daytime, maybe at night when everyone has retired. Every day brings new evidence of liatf that peaceful little flame on the match works with its allies to wreak havoc on the whole community. So the next time you watch the tiny flame of a match and tip it down to give it another lease on life, remem ber that it is helpless only while you hold it in your fin gers or when its charred remains are cold. Respcct fire for the utility it has to offer, and respect fire also for the power it has to destroy. ? oOo Some believe there is many a German warrier who wonjd pall the whole thing off for a big helping of spare- j ribs and sauerkraut.
