One OF the marvels of this century is
the knowledge of the average drum
mer. There are drummers who
know all about fires in general, and

ed, but. also, how it could have been
stopped after it began.
We have heard it suggested, and we
approve the suggestion, that salvage
corps should be organized In connec-
tion with the fire company. A we'll
organized company, divided into
squads and properly directed, could
save great deal of property in case
| of fire, that would otherwise be lost,
or that would be ruined by being reck-
| lessly thrown about.
