building Inspections.
The inspection of buildings was start
ed by firB chief John w. Wray last fall
and is now thoroughly organized. All
buildings in the business section are
gradually being inspected and any vio-
lauonE Of the city ordinances or any
condition that is likely to cause fire or
inconvenience firemen In reaching fires
are reported to the owner or tenant of
, the property.
Residences Inspected.
Property is inspected as y condition
OF floors. chimneys. basement. elevator
SHAFT attics, stairways, heating appli-
ances, aisles, windows, areaways and
alley or yard in the rear. The manner
OF lighting is looked into, also whether
or not explosives or gasoline are being
kept on the premises. Where condi-
tions are found not to be in keeping
with safety from fire, a notice is sent
OUT, or property owners or tenants are
notified verbally.
Cooperation Found.
7 am glad to say that the people Of
FL Paso respond in good spirit to our
requests for changes" said chief Wray.
In nearly every instance we find that
bad conditions are due to lack Of knowl-
edge OF the regulations or thOughtless-
ness on the part Of employees or tenants.
We have met with very little resistance,
there seeming to be a general desire
10 mSet our requirements.
Frequent Inspections.
Frequent inspection Of fire risks is
undoubtedly the most effective way of
preventing fires, and in nearly all cities
now the fire departments conduct in
spections with this end in view. Since
We in9ugurated the Inspections here our
captains, who conduct the work, have
inspected large number of properties
in the business section.
Visit Every Building.
Tt Is the intention to visit every
building and make a report Of condi-
tions. and when this is done the work
will start over again. The inspections
are not made in the interest Of under
writer's. but for the purpose Of correct
ing bad conditions and familiarizing the
firemen with all properties subject to
fire. A fire can be much more effect
lively fought If the men have a knowl-
edge Of the premises.

People who have acid indigestion,

should drop digestive aids and get
from their druggist a Jew ounces of

OF water right after eating. This
would promptly neutralize the excess
acid, sweeten the stomach contents
and their food would digest properly

An Average Zeppelin Raid.

The reports of the latest Zeppelin
raid over England show as killed
three men, four women and five
children. OF the total number killed,
three-fourths were persons who could
not have taken arms against Germany
while this war can last, and most OF
them never could have taken arms.
Not one of them actually was a
soldier, and it is probable that even
the three men killed were incapacitat-
ed for military duty.
The result of that raid was about
the average result of Zeppelin raids.
The Zeppelin, as an implement of
war, can never justify itself on that
sort of showing. The nation that uses
the Zeppelin as an implement of war
can never justify itself in using it.
The killing of women and children
is the most brutal of savagery.-
