Compton, famous pl cist But this, the scientist observes, is as nothing peside what may come. “The Power Age indeed!" he exclaims. “Our best methods of consuming coal, oil and gas use but a fraction of their power. We have hardly started to harness the waterfalls of our mountains, the winds that blow over us, the tides of our seas, The enormous energy resources that we find in the atom suggest a future as incredible to us as the present would have been to the past.” But man’s ability to wrest these tremendous forces from nature is not an unmixed blessing, Dr. Compton adds. “If men of illwill seize upon it civilization may slip back into another Dark Age. If men of goodwill press it, civilization will advance. . . . Within the 50 years past our ways of living have been altered more than in the 20 centuries preceding, and with new energies at our finger tips even greater changes are in prospect, If they tend to drive us back to the ‘short, nasty, brutish’ life of our un- civilized progenitor, we shall be to blame.” Asserting that “technology is the servant of man—an enemy only when man makes it so,” Dr.| Compton holds that accept the blame for the war” even though of its products have become the implements of war.| .

Events are moving with such rapidity that >very American can only hope that the long deferred step for adequate naval defense does not come too late. Admiral Mahan is called the father of the mod- ern United States Navy. He cautioned that a set of circumstances might arise wherein the British Navy, guardian of the Atlantic, would be too much pre- occupied to assume its accustomed role of defender of the Western Hemisphere.

FIRE PREVENTION HINTS TIPPED OFF Clean Aflics,_CeHars—Sug- gestions by Fire Chief Mulvilhill Fire Prevention Week is a good time to remove rubbish and effect a genuine cleanup of all premises. Fires do not start in clean places.| Regular cleaning, particularly inj attics, cellars and under stairways| would prevent numerous fires which are constantly destroying Ameri- can homes. In the presence of rubbish, only a: chance spark or flame is required to court disaster. Every citizen in this community is urged to see that all refuse and other waste material is collected and destroyed. { The city’s Refuse Collection De- partment is going into high gear this week to aid home owners in getting rid of their rubbish, Some suggestions have been pre- pared by the Fire Chief, V. M. Mul- vihill, to eliminate hazardous con- ditions caused by rubbish. They are: “Combustible waste material should be removed periodically. If Empire Clussifieds Pay! ] be taken to see that no sparks or embers ignate nearby property. A safe practice is to provide an incinerator or metal basket for burning such material. “Rags and cloths which have been used for polishing furniture and oiling floors are subject to spontaneous ignition if left exposed to the air for a period of time. In order to overcome this hazard they should be kept in a tightly covered metal container, or else destroyed, “In the fall of the year lawns are likely to becovered with dry leaves. Serious fires are caused each year when piles of dry leaves catch on fire. Burying them will remove a bad source of fire and at the same time enrich the soil. “Ashes should not be kept in wooden containers. Keep them in metal cans free from all contact with combustible material.” —————— DOLPHINS HERE Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dolphin came in on the Aleutian last night.
