BAD ROOFING FIRE DANGER
Investigation Into Causes of Big At

on General Use of Shingles.

Following the Atlanta eonhagration
of May q. 1917. the committee on fire
prevention of the national board OF
five underwriters dispatched one Of its
most experienced engineers to the
stricken city IN order to make close
study of the characteristics of the fire,

the lessons which might be deduced
from 1t.
The report finds that the Atlanta
disaster was essentially "shingle-
roof conaagration Of the familiar
type; Il questions the utility Of the
dyuamitiug of buildings and records
the fact that some Of the hose sent
from nearby cities could not be used
through lack of standardized couplings.
The reports greatest emphasis. how

lions. which are summed up IN the
following statement:
This connagration together with two
of the other fires occurring at the
same time. emphasizes the ease with
which spreading fires may develop in
cities where wooden shingle roofs pre-
dominate, even when the fire depart
ment is mainly well equipped and
manned. It illustrates the startling
suddenncss with which such a fire may
grow into a conAagratlon under favor

TREES NEED PLENTY OF ROOM
Should Be Planted Far Enough Apart
For Them to Become Perfectly
Developed Specimens.

If you own your place the first thing
you wish TO do is to plant trees and
shrubs, because these take years IL
mature, and naturally you do not want
to lose year. They are the only
permanent elements In the garden and
they cost more in the first place than
seeds, bulbs or perennials. Therefore.
here is your great chance to make "a
success or to spoil the effect of your
place and waste a lot of money. Here
are some good rules:
Save money by planting your ave
nue. trees far enough apart for them
to become perfect specimens. Nearly
everybody plants too close. Measure
the spread of the best specimens in
town of the species you want. Try
TO get ali the people in your block To
plant the same kind of tree. Don't
plant silver naples. box elders or
Carolina poplars. Their beauty Isl
short lived. The elm is the quickest
growing of the long-liyed avenue
trees.
Save money by not planting use
less hedge across your front yard. A
hedge is never cheaper than u fence.
nor can YOU expect 1t to be as effective
in keeping out animals. A tall.
thorny hedge, like Usage orange, is IA
bad thing for suburban place.

school building in the city of York and
its suburbs. The folder contains sug-
gestions for talks, and gives list of
the business and professional men wha
have consented to cooperate in the

of this character was attempted in

Reducing Fire Hazard.

II is of the utmost consequence that
every individual in the United States
consider himself committee of one
to cooperate In the removal of all I'M
necessary fire hazards that may come
Within his knowledge. The urgency of
this cannot by any possibility be ex-
aggerated. says the Scientific Ameri-
can. The difference between adequate
attention to this warning by every res
ident of our country, and its complete
neglect by all concerned. might very
well be the difference between winning
the war and losing II. And while of
course this figure is an overdrawn one
in the sense that certainly everybody
will not ignore the warning any more
than everybody will heed 1t, this fact
does not in any degree diminish the
measure of individual responsibility.
Everyone of us can contribute some
thing TO the lessening of the fire loss
for the year to come.
