CHRISTMAS FIRE DANGER

Carelessness at Christmas time in
creases danger to life and property.
The rapidly approaching Christmas
season brings grave fire hazards with
it. The Aimsy materials used in store
decorations are Of highly inaam-
mable nature, usually in close prox-
unity to kerosene, gas, acetylene, elec.
rrie and other lights. Electric lights
properly safe~guarded are the ideal
light for decorative, purposes, but i'm
proper handling makes them a decided
FIRE menace. Electric bulbs should nev-
er be wrapped with tissue paper or
cloth for colored effects, as the heat
from light of small calibre will ignite
if kept in contact with the w1appings
for short time.

BY WINFIELD JONES.

Washington. D. c.. June 29.-The ia
nous old battleship Oregon is doomed
to be sunk by the guns of sister ships
in the navy. Need of practice against
heavily armored craft will soon cause
the Oregon, Indiana, and Massa chu-
setts, a few years ago the best of their
kind in the world, to be made the tar

sacrificed to the benefit of the modern
navy. of which these ships are not now
a proper part.
The Oregon. Indiana, and Massacbu-
setts are in the sarne class. The first
that will be chosen at a target seems
highly likely to be the Indiana. This
ship cost the government close of &c.
600, 900 to build and equip. Naval ex-
perts agree that the shooting up Of
the battleship Texas, which was used
several times as a, target, yielded i'm

One Tiny Piece of Comment
by Secretary McAdoo

in Race.
BY WINFIELD JONES.

Washington, d. c., June 26.-The
principal topic of discussion among
members of the Florida congressional
delegation and visitors to Washington
last week was-who would be the next
collector of customs for Florida
The four candidates, Crane, Frecker,
Angle and Crawford who came to
Washington Monday in response to
kilograms from the Florida senators
were still on the ground, and there had
department as to which one, if any, will
be the choice for the Office.
Members of the Florida delegation
called on Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo to discuss the matter with
him and advise him as to the respee-
tive merits of the candidates who have
called at the department, and also to
give McAdoo information as to j. ID.
Calhoun. and f. G. Bowyer, who did
not come here. The secretary listened
attentiVely but did not express an
opinion.
He dropped one tiny piece of COM
ment, however, in the general discus
sion, which proved to be of more than
passing significance. In going over
the names he interrupted one congress-
man abruptly with, We'll, isn't Judge
Griggs a good man"'
Judge Griggs had not up to that mo-
ment been mentioned for this position,
but it was supposed he had his eye on
the office of United States marshal for
the northern district, for which he was
an avowed candidate and to secure
which he had been in Washington
about two weeks. Secretary McAdoo's
remark indicated that he was consid-
ering Judge Griggs for the job and in
cidentally had a high opinion of him.
McAdoo did not mention the name of
J. D. Calhoun, although it is we'll
known that Secretary of State Bryan
had been very active in his behalf
1t was said in well informed circles
here that the administration itself felt
called upon to look out for Judge
Griggs and Calhoun. The same source
ventured the belief that Judge Griggs
would be appointed as collector and
Calhoun made deputy collector at
Tampa, his home.
Attorney General McReynolds is
known to favor the appointment of
Perkins, his first cousin, as United
States marshal, and if Griggs and
Calhoun were taken care of as sug-
gested, this would also leave a place
for Perkins, and practically fix the
matter up all around, Angle, Crane,
Frecker, Bowyer and Crawford of
course, being disappointed.
Jacksonville will be the headquarters
of the Florida district. While some
treasury officials believe Tampa should
be the heaquarters of the district be-
cause 1t Is said, the import business
of that port is far greater than that
