FIRE IS SABOTAGE
fFHE annual observance of Fire Prevention week has been s.'t
• for October 4-10, and, this year, for the first time, the
United States government is formally joining in sponsoring
the observance, through the Office of Civilian Defense, which
is charged with civil protection iu war time.
As >>au Antonio's Fire Chief C. A. llart points out, iu a
Release found elsewhere in Register, today, Fire Prevention
yveek has unusual significance this year.
"Today, fire is sabotage," says a release from the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. "Every fire that destroys a
single item of war machinery, makes it that much easier for
the enemies of freedom to kill and maim the fighting men of
our country, and of all the United Nations. Every fire that
keeps a skilled worker away from his job is a victory for the
enemy iu his race against time. This war will be won by
production, and not by ashes."
The war has created many grave new fire dangers. Due
to lack of new equipment, and war demands, it is often
necessary to use old and faulty equipment, not only in the
h"Uies, but in factories and industry. Millions of people are
.working harder and longer than they ever worked in their
lives, and that makes for fatigue and carelessness.
If the dwelling of an average citizen burns down, or is
damaged, few persons connect this incident with the wai
economy. Yet repair, or rebuilding draws from the nation's
resources that should be going all-out to prosecution of tiy
,var, to say nothing of the individual losses suffered bv the
citizen and his family. "Even such a small fire,'' a bulletin j
from the Office of Civilian Defense points out. "helps the' ,oca""1
enemy as much as if the cottage has been bombed—it is more
help, because the destruction is accomplished at no cost to the
Axi~."
Every home-owner should get into the habit of periodically
inspecting his home for dangers. It should be remembered
that cleanliness and orderliness are in themselves good defenses
against fire. The littered home or garage is all set for a
destructive blaze.
Chief Hart has enumerated the more common fire hazards,
and has made suggestions for eliminating them. Readers
should note carefully what he has to say.
We know, of course, that control of a menace that, last
jp;ir cost the nation $303,895,000, cannot be.effected through
tlie observance of a single week of Fire Prevention, but that
the effort does provide greater security is evidenced through
a reduction of fire losses of communities. According to a
survey, a reduction of 45.3 per cent, in fire losses, is shown
during Fire Prevention week, the week preceding, and the
week following. Folli^uii^tlie anuuaJ. f'JXPlfll observance, we
nr.'ist iffr1 rVI'ix. Tnr* n mfimenr. in nte crusade against fire.
There's a job for everyone in this fight against fire—and the
time to do that job is right now!

NORFOLK. Va.—If the shortage
of doctors, due to the large num-
Jier of physicians who are being
called to war. grows more serious,
it may be necessary to relocate
physicians, moving those who are
established in cities where there

where there .'ire not nearly
enough doctors to go around.

A relatively few Negro physicians

comforts, luxuries and dense pop-
ulations offer greater financial
advantages. In cities like Chi-
cago. for example, there are some
300 colored physicians.
If an order is issued for a draft
of medical men, doctors will be
j compelled to go wherever se.it.
j That would be a war time mease re
• and regimentation in the last de-
gree. It is probable such a move
i would he the definite introduction

I country, and if ever adopted it
j probably would be a permanent
. fixture.
The possibility exi.<rt« that white
, patients may yet have to depend

regarded as impossible, for many j
i northern cities, particularly in ;
areas iu which foreign born people j

' Lawless, the noted skin specialist,
probably the highest income color-
ed physician in the country, has a

Tlius far. the matter of deciding
which doctors shall be permitted
to go to war has been in the hands
of the Procurements and Assign-
in the whole- United State*.

savoring the taste.
He stretched out on the floor
and sighed. He was drowsy, but
r.*hen he was on the verge of sleep
he jerked abruptly to a dull weak
ne s. Finally, he slept, then sat
up, half-awake, following an un-
conscious prompting of fear. He
groaned and his hands flayed the
air to ward off an invisible danger.
Once he (ot up completely and
walked a few steps with out-
stretched hands and then lay down
In a spot almost ten feet from
where he had originally slept.
There were two Biggers: one was
determined to get rest and sleep at
any cost; and the other shrank from
linages charged with terror. There
came a long space of time In which
he did not move; he lay on his
back, his bands folded upon his
chest, his mouth and eyes open.
His chest rose and fell so slowly
and gentle that It seemed that dur-
ing the intervals when It did not
move he would never breathe a-
gain. A wan sun came onto his
face, making the black skin shine
tike dull metal; the sun left and
the quiet room filled with deep
shadows.
As he slept there stole Into his,
conciousness a disturbing, rhyth-
mic throbbing which he tried to fight
off to keep from waking up. His
mind, protecting him, wove the
throb into patterns of lnnoc nt im-
age's. He thought he was in the
Paris Grill listening to the auto-
matic phonograph playing; but that;
was not satisfying. Next, his mind
told him that he was It home In
bed and his Bother was singing
m.d slinking the maltress. wanting
hitu to get up. But this image, like
the others, tailed to quiet him. The
throb pulsed oa, insistent, and he
saw hundreds of blaek men nml
women beating drums with their
fingers. But that, too, did not
answer the question. He tossed
restlesslj on the floor, then sprang
to bis feet, Ills heart pounding, his
ears filled with the sound of sing-
ing and shouting.
He went to the window anil
looked out; in front of him, down
a few feet, through a window, was
a dim-lit church. In It a crowd of
black men and women stood be-
tween long rows of wooden
benches, singing, clapping hands,
and rolling their heads. Aw, them
folks go to church every day in
the week, he tl.ought. He licked
his lips and got another drinl: of
water. How near were the police?
What time was it? Re looked at
his watch and found it had
stopped running; be had forgotten
to wind it. The slnglug from the
church vibrated through him, suf-
fusing him with a mood of sensi-
tive sorrow. He tried not to listen,
but it seeped into his feelings,
whispering of another way of life
and death, coaxing him to itc
down and sleep and let them come
and get him, urging him to believe
that all life was a sorrow that had
to be accepted. He shook his
head, trying to rid himself of the
music. How long had he slept?
What were the papers saying now?
He had two cents left; that would
buy a Times. He picked up whut
remained of the toaf of bread and
the music sang of surrender, re-
signation. "Steal away, Steal awny
to Jesus." ... He stuffed the
bread Into his pockets; he would
eat it some time later. He made
sure that his gun was stilt intact,
hearing, "Steal away, Steal away
home, I ain't got long to stay
here." ... It was dangerous to
stay here, but it was also danger-
ous to go out. The singing filled
his ears; it was complete, self-con-
tained, and it mocked his fear and
loneliness, his deep yearning for a
sense of wholeness. Its fulness con-
trasted so sharply with his hunger,
its richness with his emptiness,
that he recoiled from it while an-
swerlng it. - Would it not have
lieen better for him had he livetl
in that world the music sung of?
It would have been easy to have
lived in it, for It was his mother's
world, humble, contrite, believing.
It bad a center, a core, an axis, a
heart which he needed but cjuld
never have unless he laid his liejd
upon a plilow and humanity and
gave up his hope of living in the
world. And he would nevjr do
that.
He heard a street car passing in
the street: they were runuing a-
gain. A wild thought surged
through him. Suppose the police
had already searched this neighbor-
hood and had overlooked him? But
sober judgement told him that that
was impossible. He patted his
pocket to make sure the gun wns
there, then climbed through the
window. Cold wind smote his
face. It must be below zero, he
thought. At both ends of the alley
the street lamps glowed through
the murky air, refracted into mam-
moth balls of light. The sky was
dark blue and far away. He walk-
ed to the end of the alley nnd turn-
ed onto the sidewalk, joining the
passing stream of people. He wait-
ed for someone to challenge his
right to walk there, but no one did.
At tbe end of the block he saw
a crowd of people and fear clutched
hard at his stomach. What were
they doing? He slowed and saw
that they were gathered about a
newsstand. They were blaek people
nnd they were buying papers to
rend about how the white folks
were trying to track him to earth.
He lowered his bead and went for-
ward and slipped into the crowd.
The people were talking excitedly,
cautiously, ho held out two cents In
bis cold fingers. When he wns
Commentary—
WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR?
By RUTH TAYLOR
W/'IIAT are we fighting fort Those who would subvert our
" thoughts as individuals and so defeat us as a nation, lay
great stress on every flaw in our democracy—in the failure
to sustain the Bill of Rights for all the people of our country,
in every evidence of discrimination, prejudice nnd lack of our
brotherhood. They sajr "Let us
first deninnd and fight for our
rights at home before we flglit for
the rights of others overseas."
This is a specious argument.. It
sounds well, but It Just doesn't
make sense—for this is not a
polite war. We are not fighting
In a superior, altruistic fashion to
save other people, setting forth on
a noble crusade with banners fly-
ing and the laws of war carefully
drawn up in tournament form.
We are fighting for our own
lives—whether we be black or
white, rich or poor, worker or em-
ployer, Protestant, Catholic, or
Jew. We are fighting In defense
of our homes and our families—no
matter whether those homes t>e
great estates or sharecroppers
cabins, trim city houses or walk-
up flats In Harlem.
If we lose this war, we won't
just have less. We'll have nothing
—nothing that we can call our
own. Our possessions, however
meager they may be, will be con-
fiscated. What money a lifetime
of scrimping may have enabled US'
to put aside, will he forfeited to
the state. If any of the "master"
race's underlings want our home.
we will have to leave it on a
minute's notice without removing
anything. Education tor our
children wlU be at an end. (Even
In occnpled Prance chlldre* are to
he apprenticed Instead of schooled,
the order stating thnt they will
henceforth have no need of educa-
tion, that only workers are want-
ed. ) Free observance of our re-
ligion will he forbidden. Onr own
lives will be lives of drudgery, hard-
ship, privation, with the only ray
of hope thnt of a speedy death.
What are we fighting for? We
are fighting for ourselves. For the
right to continue to say what we
think; to complain without fear of
secret police; to stand up for our
rights; to struggle on npward; to
see that our children get a better
chance than we, or our fathers
before as, had; to live more pros-
perously; to work to make onr
democracy a more vital force In
onr lives; to put Its principles In-
to action; to prove tlie worth of
freedom.
These are the things for which
we flglit. I^t no man mistake
It or attempt to mislead us. We
fight for ourselves, our famlles, out
homes—and Ol'R nation!
close enough, he saw the front
pnge; his picture was in the center
of it". He bent his he.-.d lower,
hoping that no one would see
him closely enough to see that it
was he who was pictured there.
"Times," he said.
ne tucked tbe paper under bis
arm, edged out of the crowd aud
walked southward, looking for art
empty flat. At the next corner he
saw a "For Rent" sign in a build-
ing which he knew was cut up Into
small kitchenette flats. This was
what be wanted. Ho went to the
door nnd rend the sign; there was
an empty flat on the fourth floor.
He walked to the alley and began
to mount the outside rear stairs,
his foct softly crunching In snow.
He heard a door open; he stopped,
got his gun nnd waited, kneeling in
the snow.
"Who's that?"
It was a woman's voice. Then a
man's voice sounded,
"What's tbe matter, Kllen?"
"I thought I heard someone out
here on the porch."
"Ab, jron're simply nervous.
Tou're scared of all this stuff
you've been rending in the papers."
"But I'm sure I heard some-
body."
"Aw, empty the gorbage and shut
Ihe door. It's cold."
Bigger flattened against the
building, In tbe dark. He saw n
woman come out of a door, pause,
look around; she went to tbe far
end of the porch and dumped
something into a garbage pall aud
went back inside. I would've h.nd
to kill 'em both If she saw me,
he thought. He tiptoed tip to tbe
fourth floor and found two
windows, both of them dark. He
tried to lift tbe screen In one of
them and found it frozen. Gently
he shook it to aud fro until it
loosened; then he lifted It out and
laid It on tbe porch in tbe snow. I
Inch by inch, he raised the window,
breathing so loud that he thought
surely people must hear him even
In the streets. He climbed through
into a dark room and struck a
match. An electric light was on
the other side of the room and
he went to it and pulled the chain.
He put his cap over the bulb so
that no light would seep through
to the outside, then opened the
paper, Yes, here was a large
picture of him. At the top of the
picture ran a tall line of black
type: 24-HOUR SEARCH FAILS
TO UNEARTH RAPIST. In nil
other column he saw: RAID 1,000
NEGROES HOMES. INCIPIENT
RIOT QUELLED AT 47th AND
IIALSTEAD. There was another
map of the South Side, This time
the sliuded area had deepened
from both tbe north and south,
leaving a small square of white in
the middle of the oblong Blnck
Belt. Ho stood looking at thnt
tiny square of white as though
gazing down into the barrel of a
gun. He was there on thnt map,
iu that white spot, standing in a
room waiting for tbem to come.
Dead set, his eyes stared above the
top of the paper. There was no-
thing left for htm but shoot It out.
He examined tbe map again; the
police had come from tbe t /rttt
ns far as Fortieth street; and they
had come from the south as far
north as Fiftieth street. Thnt
meant that he was somewhere In
between, and they were minutes
away. He read:
Today and lul night elshl thous-
and armed men comb«d tellaxa, old

Blgger's eyes went down the
page, snatching at what he thought
most Important: "word spread that
the slayer bad been captured, but
was Immediately denied," "before
night police and Tigllantes will
have covered the entire Black
Belt," "raiding numerous Com-
munist headquarters throughout tha
city," "the arrest of hundreds of
Reds failed, however, to uncover
any clues," "public warned by
mayor against 'boring from with-
in.'
A curious sidelight was revealed
today when It !>«>ram« known tha'
the apartment huildlr.g tn which Uia
Negro killer lived is owned and
managed by a sub-firm of the Dalton
lteal Kstate Company.
He lowered tbe paper: he could
rend no more. The one fact to re-
member was thnt eight thousand
men, white men, with guns and
gas, were out there In the night
looking fur him. According to this
paper, tliey were but a few blocks
away. Could be get to the roof of
this building? If so, maybe he
could crouch there until they pass-
ed. He thought of burying him-
self deep In tbe snow of the roof,
but he knew that that was Impos-
sible. He pulled tbe chain again
and plunged the room In darkness.
Using the flashlight, he went to
the door nnd opened it and looked
into the ball. It wns empty and
a dim light burned at the far end.
He put out the flashlight and tip-
toed, looking nt the celling, search-
ing for a trapdoor leading to the
roof. Finally, he saw a pair of
wooden steps lending upward. Sud-
denly, his muscles stiffened ns
though a wire strung through his
body bad jerked him. A siren
shriek entered tbe hnllwry. And
Immediately he beard voices, ex-
cited, low, tense.
Far somewhere down below a
