An inventor is pale, studious man
who spends his life thinking up some
hing which will save trouble and make
money for someone else.
inventors are responsible tor bricks,
lumber, nails, automobiles, electric
lights, coffee perColatOrs, shoe strings,
airshlps. street cars, hutton holes,
baby carriages, locomotives and
everything else. Even appendicitis
was known as indigestion until H.

which the human body could be IN

Statistics gathered BY tie State Are
marshars Office during the past three
years show about 40 per cent OF the
frest of this State are OF lncendtary,
suspicious or of unknowltoigin. The
bulletin for February just issued,
says:
Tie statistics gathered by this de.
partment for the past three years
show that about 40 per ceht Of West
Virginia's fire waste. which, for this
period has averaged between five and
six thousand dollars per LAY, comes
from fires Of incendiary, suspicious,
and unknown origin.
1t is the Intention OF the fire mar
shall Law that all these fires should be
thoroughly investigated and the cause
of the fire shown. This would mean
that three men would have 10 investi-
gate three fires each day. and estab-
fish facts surrounding their origin.
This should be done in the case OF
every fire, and from the facts we have
been able TO gather. We believe that
about e. per cent. OF this 40 per cent.
would prove 10 be cases where prop
erty is deliberately destroyed in order
TO derraud the insurtng public. Or in
other words about 30 per cent OF the
total fire waste Of this State is CT in
cendiafy origin. This means that
tabout $1,000 worth of this States re-
sources arc burned UP each day by in
ccndiaries.
AS long as this state Of affairs ex.
lists, our Insurance rates will neces-
sarily be high, for the honest insurers
must make up this waste.

month, that all insurance, general,
special and local agents, send us u

their nottce in this State during the
month OF February, giving. all the data
published In the tables of this bulletin,

forward promptly the required re.

ness of the newly-eIected Justices OF
the peace in sending in the fire re,
ports to this office. II there is any
point about law that any justice does
not understand. write us At once, and
if you are receiving Instructions

he will resign as whip at the next
Democratic caucus.
Senator Lewis confided his determi
nation to renonnce the honor to
friends today. There has been always
an Indefinite notion as to the duties
and limitations Of the whip" There
has been a vague idea that his bust
ness consisted mainly in keeping
Democratic senators In hailing dis
lance, but Senator Lewis said today
that he vras expected to adjust small
differences between senators. provide
for their personal comfort and an
swer daily multitude OF small in
Qufrtea
The senator explained today that
he was yielding physically under the
strain of the office. He remains up
late at night, sleeps In down town
hotels instead of going to his regu-
lar quarters at added expense that
may compel him to follow Secretary
Bryan and Vice President Marshall TO

Lewis said today that he was not go
ing to interfere in the choice Of his
successor, but If asked for sugges-
hon. as 20 the succession he would
tag Senator Hollis or Senator Walsh.

they did not enter within sixty days

II believe the banks will follow

to suppose that when faults are de-

that an adjustment of the law toward
improvement will be brought about.
