Sparks From The Fire Waste.

The fire waste of the country is
excessive, and is sapping it's pros
perity Reduction of the fire waste
is an important part of the cam
paign for the conservation of the
national resources.
Fire losses in the United States
and Canada in 1912 were $225,320-
900, most of them due to careless
ness.
Fire losses and the cost of pre-
vention in the United States amount
annually to 100000, or more
than the total American production
of gold, silver, copper and petrole-
UNI in, year. rte n
The cost of fires each year is one
half the cost of all the new build
ings erected in year.
The annual per capita fire waste
in the United States is $2.51, in
Europe, 80 cents. Cause: The latter
has better construction, less care
lessness, increased responsibility.
If buildings in the United States
were as fireproof as in Europe, the
annual cost of fire losses and pro-
lection would be only $9O,OOO,OOO.
New York city spends $1O,OOO,-
900 a year for fire extinguishment
and $4,000 year for fire proven
ton.
Of 4,676 known causes of fire in
Chicago last year, go were due to
the careless use of matches. Nearly
ten thousand matches are scratched
every second of the day in this
country, every one possible fire.
over five thousand are killed and
$4,000 are injured annually as a
result of fire.
The proportion of insurance cap
ital to insurance liabilities is very
much on the decrease. In the past
forty years the liabilities have al
most doubled, while only $3O,00O,-
900 more capital was invested in the
business in 1913 than in 1870.

keeping on good terms with all the
Democratic leaders, and in view of
his determination to be the greatest
possible value to the Administration
it is as awkward to recall what he
said, as it is to read extracts from
books written by Mr.. Wilson, which
the President upon one or two oc-
casions jokingly referred to as hav-

Panama Canal Tolls.
Representative Adamson, chair
man of the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign commerce,
will make a fight to suspend the
free tolls to American ships until
such time as the canal is self sus-
tanning and the dispute with Great
Britain has been satisfactorily set
tied There is a growing conviction
in Washington that while it may be
entirely just and proper that the
United States should claim special
privileges for it's vessels passing
through the canal, and exempt
them from tolls, that the provisions
of our treaty with Great Britain
rather clearly make such policy
an act of bad faith. 1t is known
that President Taft and former
President Roosevelt took this view
of the situation, and now 1t is
claimed that President Wilson, who
has a way to taking things up in
order, has about reached the same
conclusion.
