Educate Police Force. “Educate our police force to be- come efficient firemen so that their services can be used constructively in emergency cases of fire. Give them, furthermore, to understand that ‘“pest houses” of all kinds must be abolished. “Paper waste can be re-utilized. This is something that the Salvation Army should be requested to take hold of. Get them a paper baler and let them collect all such waste by employing someone to call regu- larly through the city and take up all waste. “Torn and rotting sacks are being burned up every day or throwninto garbage piles and yet burlap is worth 20 cents or more per yard.

Subscifbe for Tne Dally Piloneer ENCOURAGING HUME buiLuiva. To encourage the building of homes, -a federal system of home- loan banks is proposed by the de- partment of labor. The success of the federal farm loan system, estab- lished three years ago, inspired the new plan. Its operation does not contemplate the direct loan of gov- ernment funds to home builders, but the organization of a series of home loan banks, one for each of probably eleven districts, to act as clearing houses for local building and loan asssociations. The banks would is- sue bonds for up to 80 per cent of the mortgages deposited with them, the interest rate being not more, and probably less, than 5 per cent. Flies Imprisoned in Amber. The proverbial “fly in amber” is strikingly exemplified in a collection of red amber from Burma recently pre- sented to the British museum. The am- ber is unusually rich in insects, includ- ing, according to an English authority, who has examined the material, thir- ty-one new species, of which flve are types of new genera. Most of these are found In a block of amber rather larger than a man’s fist. This-has been cut into slices about half an inch thick, Nearly every large order of insect is represented with the exception of ants. — Bemidji Market Quotations Chicago, Nov. 13.—Potato receipts today, 65 cars.
