your part. you may do a great many
other things. Maybe you're outside the

Kansas fire losses went skyward in
October Independent of the Kansas
City stockyards' fire, the states loss
for the month was $515,250. A total
of 322 fires were reported.
1t is probable that the aggregate
state loss for October will reach close
to the million dollar mark and break
all records since the establishment of
the state fire marshal's department in
Kansas in 1913. Less than one per
cent of the reported loss was due to
incendiarism. A total of % incen-
diary fires with a loss of $4,730 is
reported.
Fires in % store buildings occa-
stoned losses totaling $162.599. while
134 fires n dwellings were response
BILE for a loss of $71,6O5. Strange as
it may seem the loss thru fires in IS
barn was far greater than the loss
in 134 residences. The barn loss for
the month was $97,17S. Fires in five
churches resulted in losses of $11, 525.
One hospital fire occasioned a loss of
$27,59O
Shortage of water and a low pres
sure in many towns may have been
responsible for heavy October losses.
In many towns the water supply is a
serious problem and the fire protec-
ton question is causing sleepless
nights.
Of the October fires, 10 were from
unknown causes. Electricity caused
six fires and a loss of $139,625.
