his usual charge in bringing the vio-

upon the jury the responsibility that
they had taken under their oath, it was
their duty to investigate every viola
ton and an indictment found against
such violators.
Touching the patriotic duty of every
citizen, Judge Hardin was verv i'm
pressive in calling attention Of the jury
to the words and acts Of those not in
sympathy with the war now being
waged against Germany. stating there
were only two classes OF people, those
who are for this country and those who
are against 1t. He earnestly urged the

June Copper Output.

Two copper companies. reporting June
production. showed smaller output than
the preceding month. the Anaconda Cop
per's June figures Of 25.SO0. 900 pounds
comparing with IS, 400, 900 In May. and
the Miamis output last month OF 1884,
5S4, comparing with b. 100. 900 pounds the
previous month. Doubtless the main rea-
son for the smaller production In June
was the shorter working days in that
month and steadily increasing output is
expected in the remaining six months OF
the current year. Anacondas ouput in the
first six months Of this year totaled
49,. IS+, 900 pounds. against 1872 $50, 900
pounds in the same period Of 1917. In
considering this difference II must be
remembered that three months OF this
year Witnessed the most distressing

the foregoing list of troubles will not

SO the careful driver must be on the
lookout for such symptoms and be
quick to correct them when they occur.
The best cure for trouble is preven-
ton. therefore one must give the water
pump the required attention and then
see that it is doing its work properly.
The first detail of care is lubricat ton
There should be a grease cup on the
pumpshaft bearing. since the shaft re-

considered that the water working into
the bearing will lubricate 1t sufficient

cause It stays in the bearing better.
Oil will run in with the water and he

THE FIRE HAZARD,
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE,
Copyright. 1881

We as people are highly efficient in
many ways. But there are some ways
in which we are woefully inefficient One
Of these Is the prevention of fires.
Every year. it is estimated, enough
buildings are burned in the United States
to line street from New York to Chi
cago. Judging from reports OF fires re-
Gently the street of burned buildings may
this year extend far beyond Chicago
German sympathizers have doubtless
been to blame for many Of the latest fires.
They will doubtless be to blame for moro
before 1918 ends.
1t will be necessary to attribute 9TH
ers to unavoidable accident. And others
may not unjustly be charged to plotters
for insurance money
Nevertheless. it is safe to predict that
the chief fire hazard of 1918, as of pre-
vious years. will be personal carelessness
People who ought to know better-who,
as matter Of fact. do know better-are
continually doing things that keep the
f1remen busy in every city In the land
There are men who habitually throw
lighted cigar or cigarette butts out of
selves what may happen If the butts
alight on infiammable material.
Other men toss burning matches into
any handy receptacle. preferably basket
full of waste paper. Or they throw them
on floors needless of the proximity of lace
curtains.
More than one disastrous hotel fire, with
heavy loss OF life. has resulted from the
combination of burning match, lace
curtain and a careless guest
The habit of smoking in bed, to fall
asleep with cigar. cigarette or pipe still
active. is another factor in running up the
annual fire bill.
So is the habit. by no means confined
n do nf ,ySin 10
sene to hurry a reluctant stove.
The housewife who recklessly puts into
commission inferior or defective oil heat
ers. who thinks oil lamps will be per
fectly safe without daily attention, is
another involuntary fire fend par excel
lence.
With her we must class the misguided
folk who explore for gas leaks with
lighted candles, Or use lamps as aids in
thawing frozen water pipes.
These are a few types. but only a few
of the people whose carelessness accounts
for the major part of the $3.50. .0O0, 900 year
~ fire loss in the United States.
Their excuse always is II did not think" I"
But when human life and other peoples
property may be at stake. it clearly is
their business to think.
And some day the courts are going to
hold them criminally blameworthy for
their failure to think.
Don't wait for that time, if you who
read this recognize that you belong to
one OF the types mentioned
Stop taking chances. Think of the dan
ger to which you may expose others
Think Of the damage you may inflict
on your community and your country.
Every fire is an economic loss. In war
days like the present every fire is more
than that 1t is a hindrance to success
full war making. 1t threatens the integ-
rity of the nation itself.
Appreciate this.
Become an active fire preventer, not a
potential fire producer. Conquer your
careleSSnesS for your country'S good
