Analysis Of a years fires IN New
York state brings out figures rath-
err uncomplimcntary to the owners
of the damaged property, says the
Scientific American Supplement.
Out of a total loss of some $780,
100000 no less than 21.7 per cent is
found to fall under causes wholly
preventable, while 46.5 per cent is
attributed to unknown causes.
Among the strictly pfeventable
causes we find all manner OF faults
which may be classified as bad con-
struction, bad installation and bad
practice.
Defective chimneys, improperly
exposed steam pipes, hot ashes or
Goals, are merely few of many ex-
amples which might be given OF
the items which constitute the cause
of an annual loss of 81, 358,61S.

goo SKILLED COOKS
 IN ARMY TRAINING
Have Been Trained for Overseas Duty and Will Go to Battle Fronts,

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 5 (By The Associated Press. )-Nine skilled cooks trained for overseas duty, have been graduated in classes of 300 from the government school for cooks and bak. CTS the largest school of it's kina m the country, which is being conducted at Camp Bowie here under command of Captain Fred M Morrell.
 Students graduation must reach the following standard: Practical work, 50 per cent; recitation and theory, 20 per cent, care of kitchen, 15 per cent; discipline, l5 per cent. The majority of those graduated have been takan from the course for second co ,ks, with first cooks next in number and mess sergeants third.
 The course includes lectures and instruction on rations, bills of fare, competent parts, field specifications preparation, sanitation, temperatures, mess management, stock sheets, field cooking, recipes and visits to the packing houses here. An urdersta ld- ing of food values most needed to suit conditions existing in various places is being drilled into the students Great attention also is given to food conservation. The army mus. TO. waste and cooks are taught to throw all particles of meat and bone into a 20-gallon pot where the mixture is boiled and the fat rendered. Inc i stock is then used for gravics and soups.
 /, Some companies here require tke men to weigh what is left on their 1 plates and the amount is deducted from the next meal, thus adjusting the i food needed to their appetites.
 The sanitarion course requires the ! mess officers to keep kitchen, mess hall, refrigerators, ovens and cooking utensils hygenically clean. This ap- plies to tables and floors. How to set the tables is an important part of the study.
 i Experiments are conducted to de- wise means of using substitutes for flour such as oatmeal, cornmeal, and rice flour. Use of sirup instead of sugar wherever possible is encourage ed.
 Food wastage," said Captain Mor- rell, "is not always the fault of the soldier at the mess table. The cook is often to blame. If he doesn't cook the food right, it will be distasteful to the men and thev will refuse to eat all set before them. The we'll cooked meal puts the men in good spirits as we'll as helping them physically.
 A record of food conversation was kept at the detention camp where the recruits are quartered and fed under the direction of Captain Morell. Of 72,179 pounds of flour allowed the camp in fourteen days only36,1 165 pounds were used and yet every man had all the bread he desired.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Ccicago, Sept. 5.-Falling off of mo- tices of country consignments more than counter balanced in the cora market today the fact that frost pre- dictions had failed.
 Altho unsettled the finish was Is to 314 cents net higher with Sept. 155 5-S and Octo. 157 1-3 to 157 1-2.
 Oats closed unchanged to 3-S low CT and provisions unchanged to de- cline of 75 cents.
 Bull;sh sentiment did not develop fully until the last half of the ses- sion.
 The fact that receipts here today were somewhat smaller and that the southwest was drawing supplies from central Iowa presumably, for feeding did a, good deal to- bring about an upward slant in values during the late transactions, despite the outlook for warmer weather.
 The Michigan state report show ing. a crop condition of n sagain st 30 a, month ago was also bull.sa factor.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La., Sept. 5.-Heavy selling pressed against the cotton market today driving prices down the best part of two cents pound.
 Offerings resulted from the an- nouncement from Washington that the war industries board would start an investigation looking toward the stab- ilization of prices.
 This news remained the dominating influence from the opening to the close.
 The market had little or no support until the middle of the day, when early sellers for short account com menced to take profits and fresh buy ing for long account came in.
 Gossip had it that large buying or ders from foreign interests were in the market at one time.
 Mixed with speculative selling was more or less hedge selling. Reco1 er- ies of about a cent pound came about nthe afternoon session.
 Last prices showed net losses for the day of 99 to 112 points.

Testing PIeurisy With Coins.

A novel method of diagnosing pleur. isy is described oy P. Lereboullet in the Paris Medical. The examiner ap- plies his ear to the patients chest, closing his other ear, while coins are clinked at the patients back. The sound of the coins coming through a healthy, normally aerated lung seems distant and dull, while through an af- fected lung, through solid or homo geneous tissue a clear, silvery, metal lic ring Is heard.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Sept. 1.-The announce ment that committee oi the War in- dustries board would be appointed to determine whether goervnment con- trol of distribution and stabi!izaton of prices We're necessary, caused great excitement and a severe break ill the cotton market today.
 October contracts sold off to 32.S0, making decline og 222 points from last nights closing figures and of 445 points from Tuesdays high levels.
 The general list closed barely points.
 Stop orders were uncovered and before the end of the morning active l,onths showed net losses of 220 to 235 points.
 The volume of selling then subsid- ed and prices worked higher on cov- ering and buying, which seemed to come partly from apanese sources. The bulges met further liquidation, but hedge selling wos much in evl- dence alter the early break.
 Reports of further rains in south west encouraged rather a more opti- mistic view of qrop estimates, but the main factor assife unsettling influ- ence of the proposed investigation by the war industries board which came at time when the technical position of the market had been weakened by a prolonged advance.
