farmers especially to get from place to

At h road congress there was a sharp
difference of opinion as to the proper
objective of the road movement. The
touring idea was represented by the
group who insist on a great cross

mobile travel for great distances easier
and more pleasant. The opposite idea
was represented by those who advo-

FIRES DUE TO cAREIEssNkss.

The greater part Of the annual fire
waste in the United States. amounting
to nearly $4,000 900 a year. is due
to carelessness. Much of this is per-
sonal. for which property owners are
directly responsible. and much is mu-
nicipal. through the liberation by the
authorities Of dangerously infalnmable
construction. laxity in the enforcement
of building ordinances and the resu-
lation of explosives and inAammabies,
failure TO insist upon rubblsh being
cleaned up. etc. The average citizen
should have Impressed upon him his
personal responsibility for his share of
the preventahle fire waste of the IL
try. which is draining the national
wealth. Every mar can at least see
thst paper. old boxes and rubbish are
not allowed to accumulate in danger

and can keep an eye on his lighting
and heating appliances. If these alone
are intended to properly nearly half
the fires could be prevented. In foreign
countries the owner OIL property Is
made responsible for fires originating
on his premises and d be held for
damages done the property Of his
neiehbors. American Independence
may not yet be ready for such a de-
gree of regulation, but its necessity
could be avoided if each citizen would
feel his personal responsibility without
waiting for a law to enforce it,.
