ONLY ONE PERSON
IN FIVE IN OMAHA
OWNS WAR BOND

Only one family in FIVE in Omaha
has purchased Liberty bonds to date,
according to the estimates made by
some of the workers who are can
vassing the city with cards for in
formation as to the amount and
character of war work done by the
citizens of Omaha.
This is looked upon as evidenc. of
how large a field is yet untouched
for the sale of bonds. 1t was dis
covered, according to canvassers. that
some of Omaha's citizens who are
rated as wealthy have purchased only
one $l00 Liberty bond to date.
Many have expressed upon their
cards their intention of taking Liberty
bonds in large amounts when the next
Issue is made.
In answer to the question of ma
tionality, one man answered "Ameri-
can since 1920"
Omaha daily bee., 1918-03-10

A study of the economics of fire de-
struction leads more and more in
evitably to the conclusion that Amer
ican. carelessness is the chief, fire
cause. There never has been a year
when this fact was so condemnatory
as at present. Engaged in the might
lest struggle of all history. when nar
ional efficiency is called upon to an
unprecedented degree, the folly of
maintaining our traditional rate Of
unnecessary fire destruction becomes
almost tragic. Not to speak of the
several thousand fatalities which are
usually caused by fire each year, there
is a very real sense in which our fire
losses, if continued in 1918, may lead
indirectly to thousands of other
deaths. A great army of our cwn
young men is preparing to enter the
battle line in France, the huge forces
of our allies are becoming more and
more dependent upon our resources,
and the very populations of European
countries are threatened with starva-
tion unless we can send them food.
American fires destroy our supplies,
imperil our resources, and weaken
our energies to an appalling degree,
while back of American. fire losses
always stands that greatest contribut-
ing factor-American carelessness.
The subject, then, is no longer one of
mere economics-it concerns the fu-
ture of humanity itself.
Every American must cease to
think of the war as an occurrence g.
600 miles away. He must realize that
it includes his country, his commun-
ity, his place of business, and his
home. Failure to recognize this fact
can no longer be ascribed to ignor-
ance. Failure to apply prompt cor
rective to his oid-time habit of in
difference to fire hazard, to his con-
genital, ingrained American careless
ness, will discredit his claim longer
to be considered . patriotic citizen
of America.

Fire Loss Figures for 1916 Now Made
Public for the First Time-Their
Compilation and Analysis Has
Required Thirteen Months
of Steady Labor.

Many times daily, the postman
brings to the sixth floor of '76 Will
liam street, New York City, an arm
full OF mail of an unusual character.
Interesting things forthwith begin to
happen to this daily influx. 1t is
swiftly opened, examined and classi-
fed by trained inspectors. Then it
passes into the hands of an army of
typists and filing clerks, who reduce
its information to the form of card
record. From these, in turn, the
data is taken to other rooms, where
busy operatives, with strange ma
chimes, fill ruled cards with appar-
entity meaningless perforations.
Still later, these perforated cards
sare run at high speed through COM
@plicated mechanisms that throw them
into different compartments accord
ing to some mysterious principle of
classification, or that sends rows of
figures in indicators into rapidly
changing arrangement. Last of all,
the various cards produced in these
processes join millions of similar
cards in the extensive files which line
the rooms.
1t would be obvious to any visitor
that these rooms contained large or
ganization, working constantly at top
speed, with an almost incredible vol
ume of detail; but the nature of all
this activity would be far from obvi-
Gus.
Let US explain.
Fires in Forty-Eight States.
The fire bells are ringing in a
Minnesota town. The engines dash
up to a dwelling, from which come
smoke and flames. An overheated
furnace pipe, in last nights zero
weather, has caused the outbreak of
fire, and before it can be extinguished
several thousand dollars worth of
damage is done. Fortunately, the
residents are carrying fire insurance,
and one of their first actions is to
file claim with their company. The
adjuster soon arrives and arranges
settlement, and Immediately the COM
pany fills out a blank record of the
fire, giving name, location, amount of
loss, value of the property, insurance
carried, construction of building, and
many other details, and posts it to
the actuarial bureau of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters at 76
William street, New York City.
1t arrives in company with the re-
ports of fires caused by careless
smoker in San Diego, Cal; a defec-
tive chimney in Bangor, Me-; an cleo
trio smoothing iron in Philadelphia;
AN overturned lamp in Memphis;
vboiler explosion in Seattle, and so
many other different fire records,
from so many other causes, that one
might think the chief occupation of
Americans to be that of watching
fires. :

Great American Bonfire
Some Startling Figures Graphically Expressed

Suttlce 1t to say that
an average of $500 in
surance claim reports,
resulting from approxi-
mately l,S00 separate
fires, are daily received.
These Offices, therefore,
with their army of typ
lists and clerks, and
their battery of ma
chimes, constitute the
statistical center of fire
destruction - an obser-
vation point upon that
shocking piece OF ma
tional extravaganza =
"the great American
bonfire"
Detail, raised nearly
to the nth power-this
is the work of the act
uarial bureau. The fire
loss of 1916 stopped
necessarily upon mid
night of December 81
in that year; and yet it
was not until January,
1918, that the final an
alysis of the vast ac-
emulation of statis-
tics had been comH
pleted. Some phases of
this analysis are herein
presented, by means of
diagram and table, and
it is believed that they
will repay the most
careful study.
In the first place, it
must be admitted that
1916 was not a good
year. 1t showed a
change in the wrong di-
I rection. The per capita
| fire loss for the United
States was about $2.l0,
as against $l.7l for
lSl5. This difference
of SO cents per capita
means an aggregate of
more than $40,O00,Q 900
increase during the
| year and $4,000, 900
is a good deal of money
when it measures an
I%increase in unnecessary

Helpful Recipes To Be
