WHY is A FIRE MARSHAL?

Every state in the United States
should have fire marshal. About
$250,000,000 worth of property goes
up in smoke in the United States
every year. Most of this enormous
loss is preventable. Each state must
do its share through fire-marshal
department and kindred means to re-
duce this colossal waste. Here are
some of the things that a fire mar
shall can do:
% Educate the public as to the
seriousness and magnitude of the
fire waste. Before much can be done
to reduce this waste the public must
be brought to realize how heavy a
drain it is on the resources of the
country. They must have it brought
home to them that property once de-
stroyed is gone forever and that in
surance does not restore it, nor in
any measure overcome or nullify the
loss, but merely distributes the bur-
den among a large number of people
instead of leaving the individual to
bear it alone.
(2) Teach the public that most Of
this enormous fire waste is absolutely
preventable; that ordinary care and
Judgment in the construction of
buildings, proper attention to heat
ing apparatus, keeping premises rea-
,sonably neat and clean, and the use
of common sense in the handling Of
explosives and infammable gases and
liquids would eliminate probably one
half Of the waste, and that other pre-
cautions easily taken would reduce
the remaining half to possibly one
fourth of the present annual loss.
(3) Inspect buildings and promises
in the cities and towns Of the state
and compel those who of their own
free will and accord will not take
the needed precautions to do their
part along with those who join voiun-
tarily in the work Of fire prevention.
In order to do this work effectively
the fire marshal should have. power
to condemn and order removed any
fire trap that is constant menace to
property and lives in. the vicinity.
az Enforce laws requiring fire es-
capes and other provisions for the
safety of human life from fire in so
far as such enforcement is not pro-
vided for in the work of other state
departments.
(5) Investigate all fires of ques-
tionable origin, and where incendiar-
ism is found prosecute and if possible
convict the guilty parties.
The work here outlined is certain
1y important enough to demand earn
est attention. 1t is big work and
slow work in which 1t sometimes
takes many years to get pronounced
results. But 1t is q work that is vital
to the property and personal inter
ests Of every man, woman and child
in the United States.

NEW YORK MEETING STRONG
FOR BIRTH CONTROL
New York, March AT the birth
control mass meeting admission 10
cents, 25 cents and so cents-at Car
negie hall last night there were a
good many young girls il the audi
ence and they all listened eagerly to
what the speakers had to say.
One of the speakers, DR.. William J.
Robinson, went into so many details
that some of the audience in the gal
leries tried to cough him down, and
they did succeed in cutting his talk
shorter. DR.. Robinson talked as
freely as though he were addressing
a clinic of medical students in ma
ternity hospital
Before the meeting opened a large
man with a soft shirt, faring collar
and untrammelled hair, who was said
to be DR.. Ben Reitman, publicity
agent for Emma Goldman, stood in
one Of the aisles and shouted in stem
torian tones that books were on sale
and would be taken around among
the audience.

25 cents, Obscene Literature and
Constitutional Law for 25 cents,

Then girls with broad scarlet ribbons

opened the meeting in a speech in
which he assailed the late Anthony
Comstock, protested against laws

A Newspaper Poem that Has Been
Quoted Ten Thousand Times.

In the June American Magazine is an
account of Arthur Chapman. a Denver
newspaper man, whose poem, entitled
"Out Where the West Begins" appeared
in the Denver Tribune in 1910
Chapman has been reminded of his
poem ten thousand times since. For the
verses were just starting on the grand
tour that has made them the most pop
ular bit of fugitive verse since Riley was
in his prime. The New York sun. which
has always had an eve alert to the
merits OF Chapman's column, ran next
week Out Where the West Begins Since
then almost every paper OF consequence
in the country has reprinted the famous
little poem.
The verses have crossed the Pacific
to Austrian and Hongkong, and the At
lantic to England All over the West
you may find the poem pinned on walls
and pasted in scrsp-books. II hangs in
the Office OF the secretary of the inte-
rior at Washington. II has been quoted
several times on the floor of the House
OF Representatives and may be dug out
of the files of the Congressional Record
At least two gOvernors-Arthur Capper

Dalton, secretary OF the state board Of
health, announced last night that ar
rangements had been completed for hay-
ing the permanent headquarters of the
Vermont Association of tuberculosis at
the Office OF the state board of health in
Burlington. This arrangement will save
the association the expense of Office rent
and also make possible the closest CO.
operation with the state board. The sec
retary of the association will also be
an employe of the state board of health
and have charge OF the tuberculosis de-
partment The association will be, in
fact. but an increasing of the activities
of the board of health against this dis
ease by the addition of local chapters
in every town and the voluntary con
tributions of the people of the state.
The task of securing charter members
of the association who will pay mem
bership fee of one dollar is still going
on. Every mail brings in number OF
new members, although the total is still
far short OF the mark set for starting
the association. Next Friday afternoon
at o'clock at the health officers school
in the high school auditorium the plans
of the association will be presented to all
of the health officers of the state, and
they will be invited to help by securing
new members in their respective towns.

Great Crowd Is Expected

New York, July 1.-The surrender or
the 10th cavalry troopers taken by Car
rama soldiers in the Carrizal encounter
will not interrupt the movement of Ma
tional Guard troops to the border, Major
General Leonard Wood, commanding the
department of the East, was informed
yesterday by the war department.
General Wood received the order over,
the long distance telephone. He was in
structed to continue the dispatching Of
troops according to the order issued Juns
%, which states that units must be sent
to the border as quickly as they are pre-
pared.
General Wood also was ordered to in
stitute a rigid censorship concerning fu-
ture movements of all troops within his
jurisdiction. He was particularly in
structed to prohibit the publication OF
the ultimate destination of the soldiers.
1t was announced at the divisional
headquarters last night, however, that
the number of troops now on trains rae
ing to the border has increased to 5000.
The number was largely increased by the
reported departure of complete brigade
of infantry and other units from Penn
sylvania.
According TO the official reports there
are more than 10000 troops in mobliza-
tion camps in the department of ths
East. OF this number approximately So
600 have been mustered into the service
of the United States and are awaiting
marching orders. The remainder will not
be able to leave for perhaps two weeks
because of lack of training and equip
ment.
approximately 10 brigades OF infantry
and their complementary units are vet
to receive the approval of the United
States mastering officers. They includs
two Pennsylvania brigades, two New
York brigades. one District of Columbia
brigade, one Maryland brigade, one KEN

Tennessee regiments, and one regiment
each from Florida, Mississippi, Alabama
and New Hampshire.
