FIRE PREVENTION.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

According to the opinions of experts,
fully one-half of the fires In the United
States are either due to preventable
causes or could have been checked be-
fore any material damage had been done
II the proper means had been provided.
Consequently, fire prevention assumes a
more important place in the minds of
those who have given attention to the
subject than the means Of protection after
the fire has been allowed to make head
way If no fire Is started no protection
Is required. In many parts of the coun-
try fire prevention organizations are
springing up. A number have been or
ganized under the auspices OF state or
municipal governments The National
Fire Protective Association now has an
active committee devoted to the organ;-
zation OK State Fire Prevention Associa-
lions. Such orsanizat lions cooperate with
tho state fire marshal. with workshops
and factories and also with the state
board OF health. In securing interest IN
all measures calculated TO prevent the
starting Of fires.

IN sure YOU III all agree WIN nv
His stubbornness was mulish.
That his very last day had come Grand
father Frog was sure. He didn't have
the least doubt about IL. Here he was al
the mercy of Bowser the Hound out on
the Green Meadows far from the dear.
safe Smiling Pool. Every time ne moved
Bowser tipped him over on his back and
danced around him barking with JOY. II
was great fun for Bowser. Every minute
Grandfather Frog expected to feel Bow
ser's terrible teeth and he grew cold at
the thought When he found that he
couldn't get away he just lay still He
was too tired and frightened to do much
of anything else, anyway.
Now, when he lay still he spoiled
Bowser's fun, for II was seeing him jump
and kick his long legs that tickled Bowser
so. Bowser tossed him up In the air two
or three times. but Grandfather Frog
simply lay where he fell without moving
Bow. WOW, wow,' cried Bowser In his
great deep voice. Grandfather Frog didn't
so much as blink his great goggly eyes
Bowser shifted him all over.
81 guess I've frightened him to death.
said Bowser. talking to himself. Il didn't
mean to do that. / just wanted to have
some fun with him." With that Bowser
took one more sniff and then trotted of TO
try to find something more exciting You
see he hadn't had the least intention hi
the world of really hurting Grandfather
Frog.
Grandfather Frog kept perfectly still
until ne was sure that Bowser was mo-
where near. Then he gave a great sigh
of relief and crawled under a big mulleiii
leaf to rest and think things over
"Chugarum. that was terrible eS-
perience: IL was indeedr' said he TO him
self shivering at the very thought of what
ne had been through. Nothing like that
ever happened to me in the Smiling Poo.
I've always said that the Smiling Pool
is a better place i'm which to live than out
in the Great World and now ] know IL.
The question is. what had j best do
now?''
Now right down In his heart Grand
father Frog knew the answer. OF course
the best thing TO do was to go straight
back to the Smiling Pool as fast as he
could But Grandfather Frog Is stubborn.
Yes. sir. he certainly is stubborn.
And stubbornness is often just another
name for foolishness. He had told Jerry
Muskrat that he was going out TO see
the Great World. Now. If he went back
Jerry would laugh at him.
81 won't do it," said Grandfather Frog.
