LOSS BY FOREST
FIRES IN
NORTH CAROLINA

What shall North Carolina do about
tie great loss by forest fires? This
is real live question and one on
whose answer much depends. During
the five year period from 1909 to 1913
the average number of fires reported
per year in North Carolina was 633.
These fires burned each year about
415,O00 acres at an average loss of
$65O,000 and two lives.
The cost each year to private indi-
vfduals of fighting these fires was
about $4,000 The losses and costs
should be stopped if possible or at least
greatly reduced. This can be done
by the exercise of ordinary care es-
pecially at this season of the year
when fires are so likely to get out and
spread
The Insurance Commissioner ap-
peals to all citizens not to start out
side fires on windy days or leave them
to be famed into flames or spread
by winds rising during the night.
| Fire is used too promiscuously and
carelessly for burning new lands be-
Ing opened as well as other lands
covered with vegetation. Hunters,
| teamsters and smokers must exercise
, more care with their fires and
matches
All cases of careless as we'll as in
territorial starting of fires that dam
age lands and forests should be re
ported to the Insurance Commissioned
so that they may be Investigated and
where the evidence justifies it, vigor
GUS prosecutions instituted.
The loss from these causes since
1913 has been even greater eact
year.
The Robesonian., 1917-05-07

Material reduction of the fire haz-
ard in the motion picture industry
is expected to result from the publl-
cation of bulletins under the direc-
tion of the Committee on Fire Pre-
yention Regulations and Insurance CT
the National Association of the NO
tion Picture Industry, Inc. Bulletin
Number /, which has just been issued,
points out that insurance rates on
films and buildings where film is used
are regulated by the losses and the
hazardous conditions now common to
the industry. It then sets forth, un'
der the attractive heading "Ten
Kinds of Fire Insurance That Won't
Cost a Cent of Premiums" the follow,
Ing suggestions for prevention:
1. Keep plenty of water handy
(a) In an automatic sprinkler system
suitable to your conditions; (b) In
convenient buckets; (c) In faucets
with an inch and quarter hose and
nozzle attached. (d) Have fire ex
tinguishers, which everybody is shown
how to use; (e) Keep sand pals han
dy. Sand will stop small film fire
quickly and will not damage the
stock.
2. Keep film in containers wher
not actually in use. The time loss in
replacing it is nothing. Naked filI1
is the one condition that guarantees
that a little fire will get beyond con
troll in a few seconds.
8. Throw film scraps into self
closing metal cans, never into oper
waste baskets.
4. Keep the cutting rooms, etc.
we'll swept. The tiny pieces of film
that fly about make the dust as dan
1erous as so much gunpowder.

MANY KINDS OF INSURANCE

Says the Dallas, Texas, News:
I'm these days you can insure al.
most anything. At the time Of the
roller skating boom one insurance
company issued a policy which, for
1915 year, provided $1,250 id case
of accidental death, with reduced
amounts for disablement
IAN enterprising firm Of hatters is
sued booklet to their customers in
suring them with every hat they pur-
chased, for $1,250. Perhaps one Of
the most useful policies is one granted
by well-known insurance corpora
ton which, in event of a firm going
bankrupt, insures the continuance of
the employees wages for a stipulated
period
| "A golfer can obtain a policy to be
relieved Of all financial responsibility
If he hits or Injuries his caddie. One
can not only insure against becoming
insane, but it is also possible to in
sure against an insane person regain
ing his mental capabilities.
Several companies will insure crops

you can also insure against increase
