FIRE PREVENTION DAY
Commissioner Young Expresses His
Thanks to all Who Took Part In
Making Day a Success.

The last legislature passed a Law
requiring that October 9th should be
observed in North Carolina as Fire
Prevention Day." and directing the
governor to issue a proclamation call
ing the attention Of the people to it's
observance. The insurance commits
Sioner was also directed to get out
programs and generally help in it's OBJ
servance. In accordance with this law
the governor issued a proclamation
and October 9th was observed as
Fire Prevention Day. generally
throughout North Carolina.
Insurance Commissioner Young says
that he is especially gratiied at the
name in which the day was OBJ
served, it was shown in it's observ-
ance by the authorities in the different
cites and towns, the fire departments
and the people generally. In some
cities and towns a whole week was de-
voted to cleaning VI and bringing
about some better conditions to pre-
vent fires. The insurance department
sent out representatives to many of
the cities and towns and generally di-
rected and aided in the work, the re-
suits Of which cannot be otherwise
than very helpful in the state.
The insurance commissioner wishes
to return his thanks not only to the
officers and people Of the state but
especially to the press Of the state for
the work that they did in bringing
about such desirable results.

WHERE STATE ms IT r
ANCE WOULD NOT
BE POPULAR.

The weekly UNDERWATER pub
fishes a list of fire losses by States
last rear which suggests that in those
particular States schemes of State in
would not now be popular If
they had been started a year or two
ago. Massachusetts reports a loss
ratio of 1873 per cent for 1914, the con-
f~agration at Salem being largely re-
sponsib1e for this The North Caro-
lima record is 125 per cent, Alabama
at least SO g cent, and in Iowa four
teen companies had a loss of over 100
per cent, the ratio for the state being
"a per cent, which leaves little or
nothing of profit when expenses and
confagration hazard are considered.

FIRST.

1t takes less time to avoid an acct
dent than it does to report it.
Remember that all the rules and
regulations that a be adopted, all
the safety devices that can be attach
ed to a machine, all the guards which
can be erected, all the warming signs
that can be posted, are useless unless
every man is careful to see that they
are maintained; unless every man is
careful to warn others of danger.
: Remember that at all times some
of h men in your plant are mex
perienced, and may not know where
danger exists. Warn any man when
danger Is hear. He may know all
about 1t. II SO, no harm is DONE. If
not, you may save his life.
Every man should read and know
the book of rules. II you do not have
a copy, get one from the safety depart
ment. Ii machinery, tools, or other
appliances with which you are work
ing are unsafe, do not use them. Call
the foreman.

WELL WORTH CONSIDER.
ING.

In the past we have at least been
fortunate in having the big c~onf1agra-
tions occur during mild weather, but
picture if you can the terrible suffer
ing and loss of life at such a time, In
any of our large cities, during the
dead of winter; the blind, sick, and
dying, the aged and the infants all
driven from their homes, grand or
humble as they may be, to face the
wintry blasts, in one Of fleeing
humanity. Let every man, woman
and child appoint themselves a COM
mittee of one to fight against such a
catastrophe. Start now to clean up
your home, the office, your place Of
business; discuss the subject with
your family. employees and business
associates; give just a fraction Of the
time given to the discussion OF the
war to fire prevention and watch the
results and effects.

PERSONAL
ITY.

In France If you have a fire and it
damages your neighbours property,
you pay his damages. In Germany if
you nave a fire, the first caller is a
policeman and he takes you to jail.
There you have to prove that you are
not responsible, through negligence,
on any act, otherwise you have to pay
the damages and the cost of the work
Of the fire department. That's the
reason the fire loss is SO per capita in
Europe as opposed to $33 per capita
here. We have begun a movement
for that kind of a law in this country.
With the help of such organizations
as the credit men and the public SEN
timent of all thoughtful persons we
expect to put them through in a num-
Der of the States.

OF FIRES
~EXTINGUISHED AND
CHECKED BY


In 1921 per cent Of the cases re-
ported in 1914-1915 automatic sprink-
lers entirely and practically extin-
guished the fires and checked 23.07
per cent of them. The proportions
for the previous year are. respective
ly, 1898 per cent and 37.40 per cent,
and for 18 years 63.76 per cent and
31.52 per cent. These figures show
that sprinklers for fire control are be-
coming mor efficient.
The wonderful efficiency of auto
matte sprinklers is shown in the
record for the cotton mill, clothing
and shirt factory classes of industries.
Automatic sprfnklers successfully
controlled 98.9 per cent of the fires
reported in cotton mills, which are the
most hazardous of industries.
Remember the Triangle Waist fac
tory and the Binghamton overall fac
tory holocausts and then consider this
fact: in 378 Of the 383 fires in the
clothing and shirt factory classes list
ed in the n. F.. P. A. tabulations, auto
matte eprinklers operated successful
ly. In the 5 cases where sprinklers
did not control the fires, the fault was
not thai of the ~sprinklers, but of those
intrusted with the care and mainten-
ance of the sprinkler systems-The
Diffuser.

THE HELPS.

The inventory is a record of stock
on hand at it's real value. Self-decep-
ton is practiced if any merchandise is
in~ventoried at more than the price at
which it could be replaced. Generally
speaking, the proper basis for taking
an inventory Is the cost; but should
the merchandise when the inventory Is
taken be less than the cost, the actual
value and not the cost should be the
inventory figure. If goods are shop
worm, out Of style, or for other reasons
not readily sa1ab1e, their real worth
and not their cost should be used in
making the inventory. On the other
hand, if the goods cannot be replaced
at their cost, that is, if they have ad-
vanced in value, then 1t is safe to have
this difference shown in the profit on
sales, not in the inventory.

HELP DEPARTMENT !
INVESTIGATE FIRES
Many People Refuse to Give
Information Regarding
Cause Of Fire.
SHOULD BE INTERESTED
Public Forgets Fact That Insurance
Companies Base Claims on Losses
And in the End 1t Is Paid by Hon
est insurers.

In the Investigation of fires and
their suspicious origin, this depart
ment is severely handicapped because
people who are able to throw some
light on the conditions before and
after the fire refuse to give informa-
ton. giving as their reasons that they
are not interested and do not wish to
be mixed up in the matter. The fire.
bug is one of the most dangerous of
criminals, and unless he is caught
red-handed in the act or ~confesses, it
is almost impossible to secure a con-
viction. The sympathy of the public
to a great extent Is with the man ac-
cused, as the people go ON the theory
that as the loss out of the in
surance companies nobody is damag-
ed, forgetting the fact that the insur-
ance companies base their premiums
upon losses, and that every crooked
fire loss is in the end paid by the
honest insurer.-F1re Marshall J. K.
