Minnesota's plan of setting aside a day

lie in methods of fire prevention is par
tlcuarly desirable in state of forest
fires, where at times whole communities
are menaced by flames. However. the
light-hearted way in which Americans
generally run unnecessary risks of fire.

justitieS the belief that the people OF
every state in the Union would be the
better for systematic instruction in ways

with fire is ii sort OF national vice. Min

the way for combating this evil through
formal proclamation by the governor,
and instruction solemnly driven home to
