It is stated by fire insurance au- thorities that an average of 60 cents out of every $1 of premium received is used to pay insured fire loss. With these figures as a basis it will be pos sible, by reducing fire waste for the public, to save on an average at once all uninsured value now burned and in time 1 2-3 of all insured values now burned. Substantially all of these represent merely transferals of value; whereas, fire loss is an abso- lute destruction of wealth-the pro- duct of mans thought, toll and self denial, says a writer in American h. dustries. Who can doubt the pro- priety and wisdom of reducing as far as possible the approximately propor- tionate life loss which accompanies it? It may be asked at this point whether this waste is unreasonably
  A comparison with other countries of like civilization will supply a fair test In round figures the per capita fire loss in the United States during the past year has been s3 as against 33c in the principal European coun- tries, including England France, Germany and Italy, or nine times more fire wasta and interruption of business (which insurance cannot cover) in the United States than in western Europe. There are certain conditions in those countries that operate to effect lower fire loss than would reasonably be possible here, viz: the larger use of non-combusti- ble materials, due to the high cost of wood, and better building codes in letter and practice; the height and small areas employed in their city construction; and finally, the intan- gible influence of their older civili- zation, which makes these people more careful of small savings in all their affairs and generally more eau tious than we have yet become. Al lowing for these fundamental differ ences between the countries com- pared it is yet apparent that the niIe times larger fire loss in the United States than the principal western European countries suffer. is out rageously and criminally greater than it should be; and this condition must arise largely from the ignorance and carelessness of this eountry's peo- pie.

PARK CITY CHARITY BALL
Citizens Club in Charge of Affair,
Which Will Be Given
Fab 81

Park City is to have a charity ball
on the evening of Feb. q, in order to
raise money for the benefit of those
who are in temporary need because of
the mining conditions. The following
statement has been issued by the COM
mittee in charge:
"A prolonged closedown of our mines
since the first of the year, coming in
the wake of a protracted siege of labor
strikes antedating almost three months,
has brought many of our families to a
condition bordering upon distress. if not
quite approaching a state of necessity
and want.
Unless the mines reopen, and this
does not seem imminent, these condi-
tionS will gradually become worse and
dire privation and suffering will be the
probable outcome.
THE Park City Citizens club has
taken this problem up and in order to
raise a fund will give q charity ball,
the proceeds of which win be used by
the club to thwart the need and suffer-
ing of the helpless families OF the town.
1.-THE people of Park City have been
most liberal and open-hearted in fur
nishing a hail. music and other
requisites to make the charity ball the
success so worthy an object deserves.
1t will be held in Maple hall on the
evening of Thursday, Feb. q. Tickets
are 81, and can be had from any bust
ness house in Park City, or from the
secretary of the Park City Citizens
club.
