To Outlaw Smoking In Hotel Bedrooms Smoking in bed, which has caused some of the nation's most disastrous hotel fires, may become illegal in hotel rooms, in the State of Florida as the result of a law now under consideration. Under the proposed bill, any hotel guest who violates ordinary safety precautions by "reckless smoking" and causes a fire in this manner may be penalized for committing a misdemeanor. Various hotels are also taking steps t</ protect the lives of their guests. The Feni more Hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey, posts the following "Instructions to Guests Preparing to Smoke in Bed" in all guest rooms: "1. Call the office and notify the man agement where you wish your remains dent, as it is a matter of record that a very high percentage of hotel fires are caused; by this careless practice. "2. Notify guests in adjoining rooms of your intention of endangering their lives, so that they may take necessary precau tions to protect themselves. "3. Go to the ^corridor and locate the nearest fire escape, so that if you are for tunate enough to escape your room, you may reach safety. "4. Now sit down and think how foolish It is for you to take this risk—you may enjoy your smoke while thinking it over. "Business may be good, but we do not ^ave guests to burn, so please Help US Protect YOU." Smoking in bed is equally dangerous at home. The smoker who falls asleep and whose bed catches fire from a cigarette has little chance of escaping with his life and without painful and permanent in jury. Apparently, the smoke has an anes thetic effect which keeps the sleeper a sleep until it is too late to escape. The danger to other occupants of the building is great because of the fact that they are usually asleep and are overcome with smoke before they know of the fire. o It helps a little to know that kids, keep out of more trouble than they get into. o To estimate the cost of living, take your income—whatever it may be—find add 25 per cent. An economic system is what provides a person with 10,000 places to save money and 10,000,000 ways to spend it. — THE EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. Have you developed a rhythm to your everyday living? This is most important, and necessary *to successful living. Nerv ous, neurotic, irritable people have never learned a rhythm of living. If we are physically well, we have that rhythm in the regular actions of breathing, and of the heart pumping blood throughout the system. This is part of our natural-physical endowment. x • But mental and spiritual rhythm has to be acquired. Most of this takes real ef fort and consistent and regular practice. Another illustration of this was brought to my mind the other day when I met a man by the name of Frick. The name im mediately brought back to my recollec tion a well known Corliss steam engine which carried that name, and which was v.ery popular in the cotton mills of the south a number of years ago before the majority of them turned to electric pow er. Steam engines have always interested me from boyhood, and I used to frequent ly prowl around factory engine rooms and railroad yards. During the era of tihe steam engines popularity there were two general types of engines. The first of these was the so called slide-valve" engine which was used in small plants and ran rapidly with con siderable vibration and was very wasteful of steam. The other was the Corliss engine which was largely operated with much slower motion and more regular rhythm. The needed speed was developed by us ing a very large flywheel to the engine, which was sometimes 15 or 20 feet in diameter.' I have often compared people to these two types of steam engines which were so common in my boyhood which I used to watch with admiration.. There are people who live much like the old wasteful slide valve engine. They are always in a hurry, work by fits and starts, waste much physical and nervous energy. The^ old slide-valve engine would slow down when you put a heavy load on it, because it wasted much of its power in vibration and in steam which went rapidly out of the exhaust pipe. There are others who have learned a rhythm of living, and operate much like the old Corliss engine. They have reserve pow.er which they do not waste in rapid erratic motions and in emotional upsets. When an extra load comes upon them, they have the power to carry it. The peace of God in our hearts furnish es the greatest known power reserve for everyday living. Those who have it can say with St. Paul, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me . . . 11 have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." References: Philippians 4.
