WANTS A SANE FOURTH
STATE FIRE MARSHAL PURTELL
ISSUES WARNING.
Cautions People in Use of Explosives
and Other Fire-Producing Devices
on National Holiday.

MADISON, Wis. June 21.-L Special
Fire Marshal purte!l, alive to the trend
of present discussion, mas issued his an
nual sane Fourth" warning.
With the approach of the date on
which we celebrate our national indie
pendence, | deem it advisable TO caution
the public in the use of explosives and
other tire-producing devices" says the
fire marshal. (which not only have re-
suited in larger property losses, but also
have caused the loss of many lives III the
past.
Last year was the first in which this
department made an effort to arouse
public sentiment to realization OF the
hangers on that day and to the eXer-
Else of caution which might result IN i
saving. This was done by issuing bulle-
tins direct to the fire chiefs and other
rity authorities and was very generally
supported throughout the state. Inc re
suits were most satisfactory, as the sma j
number of accidents, both to lives ana
property throughout the state, as com
pared with previous years, was com
mented on generally. In recent al
dress before the National Board OF IN
lerwriters. the following statement was
made. referring to the United States
The large fire loss in this country as
compared with other countries Is due 70
the difference in the idea of thrlit; II
the view of responsibility of nelghbors'
and in the perception of the real meah-
ing of fire loss or waste.
This leads to the conclusion that not
only should the local officers exercise
vigilance in the enforcement OF the sthie
law ana local ordinances regulating the
sale and handling of the ordinary joy
producers but also all careful citizens
should Join the vigilance committee. In
this way, by cleaning up alleys, rem0v-
ing rubbish prior to the Fourth and by
promptly reporting any violations OF the
legal regulations on that day, beheVe
still greater saving would result.
The public should be made to realize
that they are responsible not olliS 'el
their own property, but for that of their
neighbors, and that they are not to be
allowed to celebrate to the extent 81
menaciug surrounding property"
