TWENTY ONE CHILDREN
BURNED TO DEATH

Like a sinister echo of the awful
tragedy which startled the whole
country when General Pershing's wife
and three children lost their lives by
fire on August 9th, comes the state
ment from physician of brooklyn.
New York, that in sixteen days he
attended twenty-one children who
were burned to death.
Reports received from all sections
of the country indicate that we are
even now suffering from an epi-
demic of fires fatal to children and
babies. It is a well-known fact that
the great majority of fires originate
in homes, and as children are the most
careless, and at the same time the
most helpless, the greatest losses are
to be found in the ranks of these lit
tie people who look to US for protec-
ton.
Fire Commissioner Adamson of New
York City has issued a book, "Fire
Prevention Lessons" for use in the
schools of that city. In other sec
tions of the country public school
children are being taught the dangers
of fire; but undoubtedly the greatest
concerted effort ever made in this
direction is in progress right now,
while teachers all over the country
are laying stress on the meaning and
purpose of Fire Prevention Week.
eve are going to do our best to
ico-operate with the school teachers
this week, declared Chief Overmyer,
when the matter was put up to him.
"Uuge all parents to make sure their
children have the best possible view
of Saturdays parade and that the
real service of our fire-fghting equip
ment be explained to them. Most
children consider fire department in
the same light they do circus; the
changing of bells and the dash up the
street always get cheer from them
A fire means a gay time for all the
kiddies who can get there except
some poor little chap who may have
caused the fire and pays the penalty
with his life"
Fire Prevention Week, as the
Chief suggests. should be used as
warning to the children as well as to
the grown-ups We all need the lesson
If presents. The narade Saturday af-
+nrnoon and The fire demonstration IN
the evening should he made so effec-
five that our ritv will feel its hele
Hoial results in reduction of lire
losses throughout the coming year.

CLEAN UP RUBBISH
TO AVOID DANCER
A Way To Reduce Insurance Prem
ums and Loss of Life-By Bert B.
Buckley State Fire Marshal

The Governor of Ohio has by proc.
lamation directed all citizens to clean
up their premises on Fire Proven
ton Day, Saturday, October 9.
The figures furnished by last years
fire statistics say "CLEAN UP!" in
capitals. Half a million dollars
would not make good the fire loss ir
Ohio from neglected rubbish during
the last year. True, only 199 fires
were caused by sparks from burning
up rubbish on the premises to get
rid of it, and only 27 are reported as
from rubbish igniting. But more
than half of the loss of $917,658 re.
ported as from flying sparks was
from sparks lighting rubbish, and
more than half the spontaneous COM
bustion fires started in rubbish.
Careless smokers burned up $685.
$50 worth, and most of these fires
were from throwing cigar stubs OF
pine ashes into rubbish. Children
playing with matches or fire cost
$141,864, and in a majority of cases
the blaze started in litter.
