 So staggering are the fg res on fire waste that one can han their meaning. Most peoa a- realize that they themseAe are standing their part of this enormous drain on the nations resources. But the $450,000000 tax is paid year after year. It comes out of the pockets of the people because there is no other place for it to come from. This "in- visible tax" comes out of the income of every family. It matters not whe- ther they have suffered a direct fire loss or not or whether or rot they

For instance. the San Francisco fire loss of S45O, 1000. .0O0 lin 1906 added to the country's usual ire loss made itself felt to every man woman and school child in the United States through the panic of 1907. The san Francisco fire was a direct con tributlng cause of that lanentable panic.
 This great fire loss is going to be cut down. One reason is because the people cannot stand the tax. As a result they will seek out the facts in the case and becoming aroused will remedy the situation. How? By preventing preventable fires, meaning most of the fires we now experience.

A five-passenger automobile for every family in Arkansas, with cleo tric self-starter and all the fxin's to make joy ride all the name signifies, could be purchased with the amount of money used to build the nations ash heap every year.

the birds were singing, and the young
mans fancy lightly turned to thoughts
of love. Sydney Fryer, a wealthy
young citizen Of London, called upon
his cousin, Anne Fryer, and asked her
ST she wouldn't like to take walk, and
she said she would. So they strolled
around the streets until they reached
the suburbs, where there were fields
and commons. Presently they heard
a cry for help, and Sydney said:
Some woman Is in distress! l must
go to her rescue"
Anne tried to persuade him to pay
no attention to the matter, but Sgd

pulp and cover the outside of the skins
with thick shellac. That will keep the
skin from shrivelling. Fill the skins
with fine, rich soil, and plant therein
a seed of whatever tree you wish to
raise-or rather two or three seeds,
to insure at least one good specimen.
Make stand of some kind so that
the growing tree can be kept in an
upright position and set the plants
where they Ljll get plenty of sun,
but do not keep them in room that
is likely to become overheated Water
them regularly, but not too profusely.
After time the roots will begin to
come through the orange peel. When
that happens, cut the roots off flush
with the outer surface of the orange
peel, but be careful not to injure the
film of shellac.
1t is the cutting of the roots that
stunts the plants. When the tree has
reached maturity you can transfer It
to more attractive holder. Conifers
such as cedars, pines and cryptomerias
can he readily stunted; so also can

years. Fruit trees, such as the orange

fruit.

SET A NEW SAFETY RECORD
Year 1915 Showed a Gratifying De.
crease of Accidents on the Coun-
try's Railroad Lines.

Nineteen hundred and fifteen set q
new record. The greatest improve
ment in safety of railroad operation
ever recorded for year is shown by
the annual accident bulletin of the i'll
terstate commerce commission. The
in excess OF $500, but of these only
222 were passengers, the others being
employees of the lines, including
freight as well as passenger service,
track workers and employees at Givi-
sional points, and trespassers on the
rights of way, including pedestrians
and passengers Of the genus hobo, rid
ing either on the trucks or in side
door Pullmans." The striking fact in
the figures is that of approximately
100000 passengers carried only
222 were killed. The number Of per-
sons injured was much greater, but
the cause of the decrease in the num-
Der OF passengers injured in any way
is to be found in the reduced number
OF the train accidents. The number
of such accidents in 1915 was 11,542,
as against 1906 the year before, a
decrease of 80 per cent. The number
of collisions fell more than 33 per
cent; showing, as we may suppose, q
much wider use of the block signal
system as well as higher grades OF
efficiency in many mechanical and dis
patching departments.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

The colonial type of house has re-
tanned its popularity for many years
and is still used to a large extent in
all parts of the country. Even the
bungalow is made so as to include GER
tain features that are colonial in ap-
pearance. There are certain impress
sions that are created by colonial
house that are hard to get with any
other form of construction.
The colonial house always has dig
nified appearance. 1t never seems
like the ordinary run of houses, but al
ways seems to stand by itself. Along
with this, however, there is a warmth
and an impression of comfort. The
idea of home is carried by the colo
NAL design along with it's dignity.
The accompanying illustration
shows a bungalow that is built in colo
NAL style, and it certainly has an at
tractive but dignified appearance. The
fact that the bungalow type can be
adapted to this style OF architecture
shows the adaptability of bungalows.
When you consider that many Of them
are made with all sorts of fancy trim
mings and are ali varieties and
shapes, it doesn't seem consistent
that they can be adapted to a style
such as is shown here. And yet there
Is nothing inconsistent about the plan
as shown.
There are no very elaborate finish
ings in the construction of this bunga-
low, so that the cost can be kept down
comparatively low. For this reason it
presents a good practical plan and
offers a distinctive home to the dis
eliminating home builder.
The combination of the gray stucco
walls and the white trim and columns
is in keeping with the dignity of this
colonial home. The projecting roof

DEATHS DUE TO TRESPASS
Fatalities on Railroad Lines, Caused
by GareIessness, Constantly Show
a Substantial Increase.

Fatalities in railroad accidents so
decreased in this country. Several of
the most important railroad lines in
their campaign for safety have teeB
able to announce that no deaths have
for periods ranging from one to five
years. Fatalities to trespassers, how
ever, have increased proportionally
seven times as much as have deaths
of passengers.
A recent report gives the number
Of trespassers killed last year as 5471,
and for the preceding 25 years as
113,4S0. This appalling figure repre-
sents SO per cent of all the railroad
fatalities in the United States. This
percentage is remarkably constant.
AS the Railway Age Gazette ex-
presses it:
"The more railroads there are and
the more trains there are run the
greater is the hazard that they will
kill persons who persist in walking
on the track, and apparently the more
people there are in the United States
the more trespassers there are"
The railroads have endeavored to
have the states act and have also at
tempted to deal with it themselves.
They have policed their tracks and
have arrested trespassers, but accord
ing to the court records these persons
went UNPUBLISHED because the judges
refused to convict them and local au-
thorities refused to stand the expense
of their Imprisonment.
At a meeting of the Association Of
Railroad Superintendent in San
Francisco e. w. Camp said that his
efforts to interest various state legis-
latures in a bill to make trespassing
a misdemeanor were in almost every
case futile. Where it received any
favor at all the bill was made almost
imperative by limitation. One in
stance that he mentioned was a pro-
viso that it Should not apply to pick

On June the gallows was epected

To retain the bungalow appearance
in the colder climates, it is necessary
to make several changes in both the
lot on which the bungalow stands and
also in the house itself.
Cellars are needed in the cooler eli
mates and these must be provided
without giving the appearance of rails
ing the house in any way. The bunga-
low looks best when it is close to the
ground, so the lot should be graded
toward the front so as to bring the
front entrance just little above the
ground. In the back of the house and
along the sides it is not necessary to
have the lot graded so high, and the
windows for lighting the basement
can be placed at these places. This is
the method most commonly used for
getting the bungalow effect in colder
climates.
The basement that is provided must
be of depth sufficient to accommo-
date a modern heating plant. A COM
plete hot-air heating plant will require
about 7 feet inches headroom in the
basement. In bungalow construction
this generally means rather deep
excavation, because the building is
never built very far above the ground.
Other types Of heating plants require
slightly less headroom than the hot-air
system.
In keeping with the tendency in
modern homes, the living room in this
design is made quite large and COM
Portable and fireplace of good size is
provided. The living room is connect
ed to the dining room and the back
hall by cased openings.
There are very few bungalows built
now that do not have a fireplace in
cluded in the plan. A big fireplace is
almost always the most striking fea-
ture of a living room and adds more to
the cozy appearance than anything
else. There 10 real home atmosphere
