ENORMOUS FIRE LOSSES IN THIS
COUNTRY.

Ten years ago we were losing $780,
100000 a year by fire Now we are
losing 20 per cent more than that
sum, il Is true that we have more
property, but we also have better
buildings and more adequate protec~
ton, 1t seems apparent that we are
becoming more careless and eventual
ly We shall wipe out nearly all of the
intlammable structures.
Berlin is a city almost as large as
Chicago 1t loses $4,000 a year by
fire and thinks this is terrible waste.
Chicago is happy If it doesn't consume
s5.000,000 each year On continental
Europe the annual average loss per
capita is SO cents and Germany Is
worst of all with 49 cents gone up In
smoke. But we lose about 81 30 year
and seom TO think that 1t is all right
SC long as property is insured
Now this country cannot stand the
loss OF a billion dollars every four
years without feeling It. In the last
six years the total fire losses would
have paid all the bonded debt. wipel
out the greenbacks and little more.
The loss each year is moro than the
cost to run the postoffice, or almost
twice the cost of the pension fund
1t is waste that is not in any way
compensated. Insurance brings per
sonal relief to the loser. but 1t does
not restore property that is destroyed.
1t would be pleasant to note that
the construction OF steel and concrete
buildings has lossened our annual
loss. Ii is n fact that few buildings
OF this character suffer from fire In
any degree but what Is saved from
fire in these Is made up elsewhere. A
small part OF the loss Is not to 0e
warded off under any circumstances,
but most of 1t Is the result OF ignor-
ance, carelessness OF worse. The
sum eaten up by fire each year II

double the present efficiency of our
public school system.
The point of all this Is purely per.
sonal. Every man must guard his
own property as best he may and see
that his neighbor does the same 1t
Is unfortunate that people have to be
scolded about a matter which is TO
their own interest. that they some
times take offense when they are
