FIRE PREVENTION DAY

The suggestion of "Fire Preven-
ton Day" for the District does not
simply imply another celebration or
holiday. Such a day, Charles F.
Nesbit, Insurance Superintendent,
told credit men at their luncheon
yesterday, would mean the first step
toward the popular education in re-
duction of fire waste.
Superintendent Nesbit dealt with
methods of regulation. He made ex-
cellent suggestions regarding rates,
regarding the possibility of making
a property owner who had failed to
comply with regulations bear the
cost of fighting fires in his establish
ment, and regarding the wisdom of
insuring property for less than its
value.
But the superintendent regards all
these as lesser precautions beside the
question of educating the public to-
ward realization of protective
measures against fire. Mr.. Nesbit
has started such work with per-
sonal offer Of prizes for the best es-
says written by high school pupils
on prevention of Fire Waste" He
has asked the school officials to in.
clude such instruction in their
courses, and has recommended a
"Fire Prevention Day" observance
to the Commissioners.
In the midst of the present agita.
tion about fire insurance rates in the
District it is well to remember that
the very best type of fire insurance
is common sense precaution.

TWo-MiIe Journey Through
Devious Winding Needed to

STRETCHERS ARE NOT USED
Trip to Infirmary Leads

Death Lurking Near.
BY PHIL RAIDER.

Copyright, 1915, by the United Press.)
LONDON, March 1.-Being wounded
in our trenches was gruesome business.
II wounded man dropped back to
safety he was extra lucky, for every
thing that was done for him at the
front during the first few hours only
tested his waning strength and was
likely to make his condition worse.
OFTEN a man would not know he was
wounded for some time. One chap
came limping up the trench one day
complaining that he had been shot in
the leg. He could hardly put his right
foot to the ground. We ripped open
mark. Then we discovered that he had
been shot through the forearm and that
the wound was hours old.
How 1t Feels To Be Hit.
To be hit feels like being punched,
SO many soldiers have told me. When
a man sank in our trenches. the fellows
who were not busy usually gathered
around him while some one ran two
miles through the trenches to get
Red Cross man. Within half an hour
the Red Cross man would come. II the
wound were not bad the doctor would
soak IL IN lO0lne, WHICH Duihs inc ~, q
and the man would remain in the
trenches.
II the wound were serious the doc
tor would do the best he could in the
way of dressing It, and then one OF us
or perhaps two. would be detailed to
take the unlucky man back to safety
He had to be carried through two miles
of trenches. 1t was impossible to use
a stretcher, owing to the sharp turn
ings. and, IL you carried a man on your
back. YOU had to be careful at many
places to keep his head below the
trench walls as well as your own. One
OF our fellows who had been wounded ir
the leg and was being carried on the

BEHRENS PARK SETTING
 FINE EXAMPLE TO CITY
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

sion will be charged and this will be used with the ice cream money to help defray expenses
 This playground association is demon strating what such an organization Is worth to a community. When the city looked after the playgrounds the asso- citation had little to do. now that the city Is not able the association takes up the work and comes into its own. Banded together for a real purpose, they decided that the children should be allowed to play as usual.
 Miss Sara Weakley has been engaged as the park supervisor and with her charm and energy the park will be a real delight to the kiddies.
 Mrs. M. S. Umberhauer. the play ground president, and Mrs. Preston are the moving spirits In the work of rais- ing funds. A subscription list will be circulated in the park neighborhood and mothers and fathers asked to contribute some small sum to aid the work. This Is an excellent plan and might be car rled out in many vicinities.
 If you have no children to go to the parks, you should have civic pride enough to still deside to see them kept up. Now or never is the time to keep Birmingham city beautiful, when the street cleaning department Is handi- capped, and the recreation department Is gone and the possibility of neglected parks and streets stares us in the face.
 Invite the little folks In the neigh borhood over to the parks and if you can't raise money for a supervisor get them to band together and keep their park clean. Where there are flowers water them and where there are equip ments see that they are not abused Each park association should put this responsibility on the shoulders of the little citizens. Children should be taught no matter how little they are that the city is their big home and they are responsible for it's upkee and cleanliness as well as they should be for their own front yard
 Show your appreciation to the city little boys and girls, by helping now to keep the play grounds neat and clean and the street in front of your house a l pride to the city
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-04

Through the efforts of the Behrens Park Playground association this lovely park will be kept up all the rest of the summer, in spite of the citys abandoning the recreation department
 Behrens park is undoubtedly an asset to the neighborhood in which It Is located Its lovely trees, foliage and flowers have been the pride and admiration of the chil- dren and mothers in Richmond place all summer and the playgrounds have been place of delight to hundreds of children daily.
 When the city fathers found it neces- sary to cut out the playgrounds from the budget of expense, this park association decided they would carry out the work without the city.
 It only takes three clements to make a project a real success, and this associa- tion had all the elements.
 Women, desire and concerted action can do anything. All these women were the best sort. being mostly mothers, the de- sire to continue the splendid playground work was real incentive, and the con- certed action of the mothers and fathers Ol liit HtiS noOu WdS the IuednS to the end.
 supervisor was necessary to carry on the playground work, a park man must be had to water the flowers and cut the grass and the money to do 1t with was not in sight. How to raise the money was the next question. Here Is where the park associa- ton got busy. They knew during this hot weather everybody would buy an Ice cream cone, so they started the Thursday afternoon and evening ice cream festivals, and nowhere In Birmingham can be found a happier sight

TO VOTE NEW CREDITS
 AT NEXT MEETING
Chief Business of German Richstag, Which Will Convene on
 August 19
By "HOp''

Berlin August 3.-(Via London 10.05 p. m.)-The chief business of the Reich stag, which assemblies August 19, will be to vote new war credits. While the details of the new bonds have not been. arranged, bankers assume that the amount, like that of the last loan, will be unlimited The rate will be per cent but the subscription price is eA-, pected to be above 99, compared with 9Sh for the March loan.
 The prospects for the success of the next loan are regarded as highly satis- factory. The great German banks say they have completely sold out their bonds of the two previous war loans and have unusually heavy deposits. These recently were swollen so abnor- mally that the Berlin banks a short time ago reduced the rate paid on cur rent deposits to the normal level

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should not more try to suppress it
than to stop a fire bell when it is
ringing, but should cure the disease
that causes the coughing. This can
nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial
results. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often fol-
lows a bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An
drews, Ind, writes: During the win
