A NOVELTY IN WAY
OF EXPOSIONS
WASHINGTON, March 13.—The
Safety First Exposition, which was
held in Washington recently and
which depicted what the Federal
Government is doing in the saving
of life and property, may soon be
brought to the doorsteps of every
citizen in the United States
The exposition was of such far
reaching educational value and cre
ated so much public interest that
Secretary of the Interior Franklin
K. Lane conceived the idea that the
rest of the country ought, if possi
ble, to be given the opportunity of
seeing it. He accordingly wrote a
letter to Daniel Willard, President
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
requesting the free use of a com
plete train for that purpose. Presi
dent Willard responded immediate
ly and offered to furnish an all
steel train of any necessary number
of cars to transport the exhibits.
The railroad also agreed to haul
this train free of charge over the
entire length of its line, stopping
a -sufficient length of time in each
1 city or town to enable the people to
J inspect thoroughly the various ex
j hibits.
It has been tentatively agreed that
this train will be in Washington by
May 1, and that it will be equipped
as rapidly as possible and sent on
its way. An itinerary will be ar
ranged without delay. It is the
plan of Sec. Lane that upon the
completion of this itinerary the
other prominent railroads of the
country will be asked to extend simi
lar favors over their lines and in this
way he hopes that everyone in the
country sufficiently interested will
be able to see the exhibits.
The exposition held in Washington
originated with the Bureau of Mines
and through the encouragement of
Secretary Lane spread to all the
other departments until twenty-seven
pederal Bureaus were represented, as
well as the American Red Cross and
the police department of the District
of Columbia.
‘I am of the opinion that such a
moving exposition will be of great
educational advantage to the coun
try,” said Secretary Lane today.
“The exposition as I saw it was a
revelation as to the extent of the
Federal Government’s activities along
j the lines of life saving and prop
| erty saving. That it created great
popular interest was evidenced by
j the fact that in the very busy city
1 of Washington, having manifold
other interests, the exposition at
| tracted more than 35,000 persons
I during the week.
“Best of all, this moving exposi
tion will give the people of the in
terior towns and cities an oppor
tunity to see and understand what
the Federal Government is doing in
places remote. For instance, the
work of the Public Health Service,
Treasury Department, in guarding
the gateways of the Republic
against epidemics of diseases sent
us from foreign shores and the
stamping out of these diseases on
the threshold of the country; the
work of the Coast Guard Service,
Treasury Department, in saving life
at sea, making the ocean lanes safe
for travel; the Navigation Bureau,
Commerce Department, with its ex
tensive system of wireless which has
already saved thousands of lives on
ship' ricked vessels; the Forest Ser
j vice ., plan, Department of Agricul
! ture, of fighting forest fires and
I preserving millions of dollars of
i natural resources to the nation; the
methods used by the Bureau of
Mines, Interior Department, in res
cuing entombed miners from ter
rible death; and the safety methods
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which have so signally re
duced the deaths among trainmen.
“In addition there is the safety
first work of the Army and Navy
Departments, in sanitation and the
stamping out of the typhoid fever
in the Army and Navy.
“These are but a few of Lie
many interesting activities of the
federal Government that the peo
ple will be privileged to see and
iearn about. Altogether it will be
a rare opportunity for the average
citizen of the United States and
will give him a better and a clear
er idea of what a great and hu
manitarian country he lives in.”

ONE EFFECT OF THE
FISHERMEN STRIKE
After the Puget Sound fishermen
had despaired of a herring run this
year, these small but high priced
fish have shown up in enormous
quantities in the coast waters, says
a report from Seattle. Ill luck,
j however, is pursuing the herring
fishermen. Now that they have
the fish, they are unable to dispose
of their catches because of the hali
but fishermen’s strike who use most
of the herring.
As a result of the situation in the
i halibut fishing industry, the herring
fishermen have filled the cold stor
ae houses in Seattle to capacity
The late arrivals from the fishing
grounds find themselves with full
cargoes which they ave either unable
to sell or to place in cold storage
and as to throw them overboard
would be a violation of the law,
they have appealed to Fish Commis
! sioncr L. H. Darwin for permission
1 to sell them to the fertilizer plants.
