in Street

The good ship U-Buy-a- Bond, for
merly the German submarine UC-6,
rested at her anchor in Central Park
last night after a perilous ee-day
voyage through the streets OF upper
Manhattan. Eight manholes -subma-
rines Of tho city streets collapsed
under the eighty-ton weight as the
third section Of the captured U-boat
was lowed TO its anchorage In the sheep
meadow yesterday afternoon. and a
great cash in the soft asphalt pave
ment of the West Drive marks the place
where the huge hulk'was almost scut-
tied before its time.
Great things are in store for the
U-Buy-a-Bond. All traces Of its career
as a destroyer are to be washed from
il on Thursday afternoon, when 1t will
receive a new baptism Of American wine
and oratory. It's new name will be
officially pronounced U-Buy-a-Bond'
BY Mrs. Guy Emerson, wife OF the pub

' Five thousand people waited all the

Straus Urges Poor
AS Well as the Rich
Toby War Bonds

Oscar S. Straus, chairman Of the
Public Service Commission, SAID yes-
tordoy of the second Liberty Loan:
This duty Of subscription rests
upon the poor man as well as upon
the wealthy man. It is the subscrip-
lions of the millions that will count.
They have just as much at stake and
lust as much interest in pushing this
war to a speedy and victorious con
clusion as the millionaires.
should like TO bring TO the atten-
ton of ell persons the duty that is
upon them to make this loan an over
whelming success. The effect Of it
upon our enemies cannot be overesti-
mated. The sooner this war can be
brought to a victorious termination
the more lives of those who are
nearest TO US will be spared.
The men ard women behind the
guns must do their patriotic duty.
The duty that is demanded Of them
now is to subscribe TO the Liberty
Loan. To do this is asking very
little, and they are getting the best
security in the world, which bears
higher rate of interest than is
paid by any of tho financial institu-
tions. The people in general, ! am
sure-not from any lack of patriot
ism, but because they are not in
formed of the need OF the situation
have TO be urged to come forward
and subscribe.
The country needs their help, and
asks that 1t be given in proportion
to their means. Put your name down
on the roll Of honor.

Cash Sales Favored

Tho cash sales idea took at once.
Many Of the banks have applied for
amounts to keep on hand and pass over
the counter against payment, and many
department stores and hotels have
done the same thing, SO that the indi-
vidusl who strolls about with $50 in
bills can secure bonds without serious
~ 'neonveniencing himself.

Lightning Loss
Can Be Prevented

A total of $4,69S,l25 loss due to
lightning proves that all fires are not
of human origin, but that the degree
of preventability ranges high is true,
nevertheless. Comparative statistics
between rodded and unrodded risks
show that only a trifie over 7 per
cent Of this large total damage was
suffered by buildings having light
ming rods. 1t is even more startling
to discover that the State of Okla
homa sustained 31.3 per cent of its
total fire damage from this single
cause, a fact which is doubtless ex-
planned by the frequency with which
large oil storage tanks are struck by
lightning. AS against this the states
of Arizona, Nevada, Washington and
the District of Columbia are rated
as 90 per cent, their losses having
been less than one-twentieth Of |
per cent.
Sparks from fires are another Of
the large items, with total Of S4,-
S46,123. The lesson for ireproof
construction is too obvious to require
comment. Under this heading the
worst showing is made by Mississ-
ippi, 1917 per cent; with Arkansas,
90 per cent, second; Florida, S.S per
cent, third, and Alabama, 81 per
cent, fourth. The Southern States
thus appear to have been the lead
ing sufferers. In Arizona the per-
centage falls to i per cent, the best
showing of any state.
The layman might hardly expect
to find total of S1,657,972 attrib-
uted 10 sparks from machinery, but
this has proved a serious item in
some localities, notably in Texas,
where it caused damage of S262,477
or AS per cent. North Dakota, with
5.4 per cent, records an even larger
percentage, although smaller in &C

The / oil
of Gas

Considering the universally with
which gas is used, the total Of $685.
TIA is hardly a large one, although
the best authorities consider that
under proper conditions it might all
be eliminated. The worst offender
from this cause is West Virginia,
with 8 per cent, and Utah, with but
SO loss for the entire year, makes
the most favorable showing. Most
Of the states show a loss of less
than / per cent, the largest figures
generally being found where natural
gas is a commodity. There are
fewer open gas flames to-day than
was the case in former years, and
popular education has progressed
somewhat, but there is still room for
Improvement to the extent of nearly
n million dollars.
Fires started from hot ashes and
Goals are PRINCIPALLY due 10 the care
lessness Of the householder. They
are generally the result Of putting
hot ashes containing live Goals into
wooden barrels or boxes. And even
the Southern states show some dam
age from this bad habit. Wyoming,
with its percentage loss of 10 per
cent, has the highest percentage
figure, although Minnesota, with
s52,345, shows the largest amount
of property consumed. By a strange
coincidence, Idaho, adjoining Wyo-
ming upon the north, has the most
favorable record, and shows but i
per cent Of damage.
