"Must Az Burn for Money"

\ new point Of view was brought to
the attention Of Mr.. Klngsbury yester.
day in letter from man who de-
clared that I'VE must all burn for
money" He said that. fire insurance
companies depended on ic instead Of
statesmen. and continued:
Every fire appears on the front page
OF our daily newspapers. morning. noon
and night. Each front page costs 5000
an issue. Count the different papers In
the United states and sometimes abroad,
and you will find that the average fire
brings at least $1,000 worth of sales
manship The more lives lost the larger
the craftsmanship. SO we must all burn
for money? Can you see? If the fire
was not the salesman OF the company
the company would send out bills, the
came as other business people, itemzins
each risk. describing payment etc.
Every building has a different rate. The
rates arc made Of risks, which arc gath
cred by the underwriters"

sets the scales in motion regarding the

While naval experts concede that Great
Britain has the largest aggregate of

United States in a close race for second
place. it is equally conceded by these ex-
perts that the two new American dread

Have Big Displacement.

The American ships have a displace-
nal dreadnought Of 5000 tons. They
also take the lead over the Delaware and
North Dakota, 1900 tons each, which
heretofore have held the lead of big gun
ships in the American navy.
The new american dreadnoughts, be-
SIDES leading the ships of all the great
powers in point of size also bring Ger
many and the United States nearer to-
gether for second place among naval
powers. Among naval experts the orig
inal dreadnought has become the &C
cepted unit of fighting efficiency. Count
ing the dreadnought as unit of 100, the
American battleship Delaware and her
sister ship. North Dakota have a ratio
Of efficiency of 10 each, while the Flor
ida and Utah have a ratio of 12J each.
These ratios for American dreadnouglt
ships aggregate $40. as against an aggre-
gate of about 100 for Germany.
Thus Germany and the United States
are separated by only a few points for
the position of second place among the
naval powers. based on the dreadnought
a unit of fighting strength. However.
on ships below the dreadnought unit

as second in rank among the naval pow
