New York, Dec. 14.-The work of
the National Fire Protection associa-
tion was described by w. H. Merrill,
of Chicago, president of the organiza-
tion, in an address delivered last night
before the National Association of Ce-
ment Users at it's seventh annual con-
vention in Madison Square Garden.
"The National Fire Protection associa-
tion," said Mr. Merrill, Stands for con-
serVation of the created resources of
America" He gave figures to show
the enormous annual fire losses in the
United States and told how the asso-
citation was educating the public to
prevent these losses.
"We believe that the fire waste is
of great Importance" he said "as af-
fecting the material welfare of the
nation as whole and is of direct obli-
gatory and pecuniary interest to each
one of us having families to protect
and property to preserve for our fam,
lily's use. Each loss by fire is a drain
upon the material resources of the
country, irrecoverable through the col
lection of insurance.
'The average annual loss by fire in
the United States in the past ten years
has been over two hundred million
dollars, and during the past five years
has averaged over two hundred and
fifty million dollars. An average loss
for the last five years of two hundred
and fifty millions means a loss of
about thirty thousand dollars for each
hour One thousand two hundred and
sixty million of dollars in the products
of human toll has been wiped out of
existence in the brief space of five
years. The values represented by the
fire waste would more than pay the
stock dividends of all railroads. 1t
exceeds the revenue of the national
postoffice; it is greater than the pro-
duction of gold or silver.
''The annual number of fires in
American cities averaged forty for
each two thousand of population, as
compared to eight of each ten thou
sand population in European cities.
The annual per capita loss in Aus
tralia, Denmark, France, Germany,
Italy and Switzerland varies from 12
cents in Italy to 40 cents in Germany,
with an average of 33 cents; in the
United States the average is $2.47.
Berlin has population of three mil
lion. Its average annual fire loss is
one hundred and seventy thousand
dollars. Chicago with its population of
two millions burns up annually nearly
five million dollars of values. We de-
stroy more property by fire than do
any four nations in Europe.
"The National Fire Protection asso-
citation has been steadily engaged in
an effort to reduce in some measure
this enormous and disproportionate
waste. Through our active member, |

been prepared and freely distributed |

OAKLAND, Nov. 5.-Mrs. Abigail b.

announcement of Napoleon's defeat at
Waterloo in 1915 and who had twice
seen Halleys comet, passed away this
afternoon at the age of 100 years at
her home, 420S Piedmont avenue. She
had seen the stagecoach give way to
the railroad. and could remember pollt-

elected.
Mrs. Hunt was born in New York,
