MATCHES AND FIRE.
MUCH LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY
DUE 10 CARELEssNEss.

MUCH LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY
DUE 10 CARELEssNEss.
The average per capita property loss
by fire in central western and southern
Europe is SO cents; in the United States
the average is $3.02. The reason for
this astonishing difference is obvious
the conditions are scrutinized. While
this is being written continual show
or of imperfectly extinguished matches
is falling into waste baskets, rubbish
heaps, upon the rugs of clubs, hotels,
dwellings and offices, thrown by care
less smokers
In Massachusetts,, in 1907, there were
5, 1874 fires, 1920 Of which, entailing q
loss of $65s, 346, were caused by match
es. The first marshal Of Wisconsin
says that during a period of go days 25
fires in his state, involving a property
loss Of s106, 1877, were traceable directly
to the "parlor" match. In Ohio an
other of the few states giving attention
to needless fire waste, the fire marshal
declares that match fires constitute a
Continuous performance" at = cost Of
half million dollars per year. In one
year of 446 fires from matches in this
state, 122 were caused by children, 1873
by the carslessness Of adults, and 26 by
rats and mice-also through careless
ness of adults.
The number of persons burned to
death in the United States each year
by the parlor match is between 800 and
900, and the property loss more than
$2,OOO,O 900. The ''parlor" match is the
common variety, which can be ignited
upon any hard surface, as distinguish
ed from the safety match, which can
not ordinarily be ignited except upon
the box in which it Is sold. The origi-
nal "lucifer" match, which, when
ignited, gives off the choking fumes of
sulphur, is still used extensively, and
is safer match where handled care
lessly than the larger-headed parlor
type Denmark and Switzerland pro-
hibit their use, and other continental
countries impose restrictions. 1t is in
America only where cheap wooden
buildings abound, and whore, there
fore, restrictions are most vitality need
ed, that the parlor match is free to slay
and burn.
It costs no mere to make the safety
match than it does to make the other
variety, and it is ordinarily sold a
cheaply. Modern matchmaking ma
chinery can turn out from 1000, 900 to
1000, 1000 Of either kind in a day. 1t
rests, therefore, with the people them
selves, either to continue the present
careless snapping Of match heads upon
bed covers, curtains, carpets, clothing,
and other inflammable materials, for
which practice SO frightful y price is
paid in property and life, or to protect
the common interests of humanity and
the life of their households by thought
fully exercising care in ordering their
match supply. 1t is almost wholly
matter of Observation-Disclosures Of Ma
tional Fire Protection Association.

The completion of the Virginian Ry.
was celebrated last week at Norfolk,
the eastern terminal of this new line,
which reaches from Deepwater, on the
Kanawha River in West Virginia, to
Ham pton Roads, 442 miles. Construc-
ton of this important road was begun
in 1903 with the Deepwater Railway, a
line of only or 10 miles length, in
West Virginia, as nucleus, and it has
steadily progressed until its completion
a few weeks ago. 1t is particularly
notable that the work was financed by
one man, Mr.. Henry H. Rogers OF New
York, and his Identification as the
backer of the enterprise was unknown
until it had been under way for three
or four years. At first the road was
separately incorporated as the Deep
water Railway in West Virginia, and
the Tidewater Railway in Virginia,
but as the completion Of the weli-laid
plans approached, new corporation
was formed under the name Of the Vir-
ginian Railway, covering the entire
line in both States. The Norfolk cele-
bration was . notable one, many men
of prominence in the business world,
including Mr.. Rogers. being present.

number of students Of various col
leges home for the holidays had gath
cred and were telling tales out Of
school" one OF them told a story that
shows that some advertisers resent be-
ing imposed on.
A student of Pennsylvania school
had been buying a brand of socks, the
makers of whicn guarantee their
hosiery TO wear for six months before
they would wear through. The young
man would deliberately try TO wear
his out, wearing no shoes unless he
went out of the building in which he
roomed. lie would lend them TO other
students and by hard usage the hose
looked like Siwes in a very short time.
Then he would return them to the
manufacturers, reminding them of their
guarantee.
AT last he neglected 10 send a pair
20 the laundry before mailing them To
the firm. who then guessed what he
had been doing. They sent him a new
pair and with it sent the following
note:
Dear Sir:--We do not guarantee
our hose TO Wear six months IL used
instead of shoes. Better buy a pair
