Time changes our outlook on a lot of things. Ten years ago this summer, the managing editor under whom this writer was working, passed his 40th birthday. We remember making a lot of cracks about slippers, a rockâ€" ing chair and a nice warm fire. Now, with our own 40th milestone just one year off, we can see no reason at all why a kid of 40 should even be thinking of retirement â€"or what he‘d live on, if he did. Of course, under present day conditions, you can get statistics to support almost any thesis, but Mr. Avery isn‘t holding his present position by virtue of being a bum guesser. * Mr. Avery‘s enemies have called him a number of things, but no one has gotten around to calling him a poor businessman. According to the Journal article, Mr. Avery isn‘t setting dates or fixing limits, but he is reâ€" gortcd to be taking measures to prepare the mail order ouse for a price decline which might reach five per cent a month for six months. Well, a little deflaxn right about now would be a good thing. The question is whether we can have "just a little." We have found out, the hard way, during the past two years, that we can‘t have "just a little" inflaâ€" tion. The real post war test of our economy will come when we try to keep "just a little" deflation, from becoming a depression. Sewell L. Avery, chairman of the board of direcâ€" tors of Montgomery Ward and Co. is, according to a recent article in The Chicago Journal of Commerce, readying his concern to meet a major price decline.

Sparks falling on vuinerable wood shingle roofs constituted the third greatest cause of fires a few years ago. More than 600 cities and towns responded to this problem by making roof fires "illegal"â€" that is, they adopted building codes which require fireâ€"retardant roofing, such as asphalt shingles. As a direct result, combustible roofing has dropped to seventh or eigth place in the list of fire Accustomed as we are to big numbers these days, those figures are impressive. They represent the cost of fire last year and give an approximation of what this year‘s toll will be. Even more significant than the appalling loss, however, is the statement, coming from the Nuational Fire Protection Associaâ€" tion, that fully 90 per cent of all fires could be prevented. Fire hazâ€" ards are simple to detect and easy to remove? human lethargy is the only obstacle to the removal of the hazards which lead to 9 of every 10 fires. causes.
