LESS FIRE LOSS.
Decrease OF y Million in Kansas in

Fire losses In Kansas in 1914 de-
creased about three-Quarters Of 4
million dollars, according to partial
records for both years kept by Harri-
son Parkman. state fire marshal, who
is now engaged in preparing his an
nual report.
The department was created in 1919
and kept records on nine months Of
that year, for which the full estimated
fire loss was $4,257.76S. Based on
the eleven months Of the present year
on which complete reports are avail
able. the 1914 total should reach
about $3,493.412. showing a big de-
crease.
In the eleven months Of 1914 now
complete the number Of fires in DWELL
ings reached 1886, with a loss total
OF $77s.S63. Other fire losses were:
IA In factories. totaling $235,S1O; 481

ton recently written by DIR. Sherman

cion now residing in Leavenworth.
DR.. AFFORD established an enviable
professional reputation for himself
among Kansas physicians familiar
with his work as penitentiary ply
stefan. He introduced a series OF

from surrounding cities came to
assist in a large number of opera
tons on inmates OF the prison, correct
ing defects which for the most part
had originated before their commit

ministration showed a total of but
deaths in the penitentiary while in the
present administration the prison medi-
cal department has been largely de-
voted to the study of mental peculiar
tiles of penitentiary inmates.
In his review of the Biennial report
DR.. AFFORD says:
II have received through the-United
States mails a booklet. On the title

reads like report of a wreck on the

whispered: isn't that General Fun
