IS A SPARK SPREADER
 LIABLE FOR DAMAGES?

Tn the older countries it is consid- orod a simple matter of justice to make a man by whose carelessness a fro is found to have started, pay dam aces to another whose property is destroyed by the fire. Sometimes fine and imprisonment is added. Whatever may be thought of this plan, judged bv American standards, it can't be danied it has cut down the fire loss wonderfully. The weeds of careless ness don't thrive in the garden culti- vated by sharp penalties. But it seems that the idea or making the man responsible for the fire pay the bill of damages has been transplanted to Arkansas, says the Southern Con- struction News. of Little Rock. Press reports tell of suit just filed against the owner of a mill on the grounds that the complainant's property was destroyed by fire through sparks from the mill smokestack. It is no 
 new thing to hear of suits against railroads on account of sparks, but suits against individuals or private firms on such ground are much rarer.
 The Southern Construction News professes to see in this incident a trend of thought or a change of atti- tude which given the foothold of actual damages collected in a few cases may spread (though not so fast as fre) to the ertent that the public will soon expect the man whose housa burns through carelessness of his own, to make good the loss of his neighbor whose house has been ig- nted from the others.

SAVING FOOD FOR
 SOLDIERS BY CARE

A nationwide campaign against fires in warehouses, elevators, cold storage plants are warehouses where food is stored or prepared has been undertaken and Arkansas will do her part, as usual, says J. S. Speed, Mgr. of the Arkansas Actuarial Bureau and fire prevention expert.
 "Of course precautions along this line are always in order and our fight for all classes of fire protection must not be abated but food simply must be preserved for the good of the na- tion," he says. If the enemy could cause fires to destroy our food re- sources it would be considered a great piece of good fortune for the enemies of our country. Let us not do by our own apathy or carelessness what the enemy would like to do but is unable to accomplish by force.
 "The registration and prospective draft is bringing the war closer home than we have hitherto realized. It will bring home to us also the neces- sty of protecting our food supplies and other resources against our enemy fire-under present conditions an effective ally of the Germans.

THE WHY OF IT.

Arthur Brisbane pointed out, at a dinner in New York, the many de- velopments that the metropolis owes to its Jewish citizens. Then he told a story.
 "A southerner," he began. "on a Yellowstone trip, leaned over the back of little old mans seat and said:
 You're a Jew, aren't you?'
 Yes, I'm a Jew,' said the little old can calmly.
 Wall, sir he said, in the village down south what l come from there ain't nary Jew. Nary a one.'
 "'That's why it's a village said the little old man."-Detroit Free Press.
