Des Moines, Sept. li.--State Fire
Marshal Ole O. Roe expects to send
letters to schools, mayors and city
clerks, fire department heads and other
officials i'm few days calling their at
tention to fire prevention day which
has been officially proclaimed by the
governor for Oct. 9. He will also urge
members of mothers clubs to advocate
a general clean up campaign before
the heavy fires Of winter are started.
The cleaning up Of leaves from
caves troughs and about the premises
generally will be urged on household
e,,s. Also the Kidding of the Easements
and alleys Of all refuse will be adVo-
Gated
Fire prevention day is now an an
nual event in Iowa. 1t has been found
that many fires occur soon after the
first cool weather Of the late fall
comes on when the people generally
start up their furnaces and stoves. II
proper precautions are taken in the
way Of cleaning UP, these can be pre-
vented, the state fire marshal says.
In his proclamation on fire preven-
ton day Governor Clarke says:
There were $3.50 fires reported to
the state fire marshal for 1915--morc
than ten fires every day causing a
daily loss Of $16,457 and involving
daily property worth S70.716. 1t clearly
appears that practically one-third OF
these fires were due to carelessness. II
is quite possible that many more ol
them were These, at least, should be
preventable.
There is no reason why large num-
bers of fires should be occasoned by
careless handling Of matches. candles,
lamps. oil, sasoiene, by bonfres, by
burning Of brush and leaves. by de-
fective fiues. stove pipes, wiring, by
smokers. by rags and clothing near
stove pipes, by ashes and many other
ways, destroying the property of those
negligent and often that Of others also.
Such negligence is a constant menace.
The only remedy is watchfulness, dill
gence and to the end that as many of the
millions Of dollars of annual fire loss
may be prevented as possible / do
hereby announce and proclaim
Monday. Oct. 9 fire prevention day

said date call the attention of the peo-
pie for the purpose. If possible. OF in

Request is made also that mayors
