Prose.

In 1917 there were 1858 fires re.
ported to Ole r. Roe, the state fire
marshal, according to the latter's re-
port, just filed with the governor.
The loss resulting from these fires
amounted to $7,216,2 45. which was
over 81, 900, 600 more than the 1915
loss. OF this loss $5,00S, 81 was COW
cred by insurance. The average daily
fire loss in Iowa during 1917. amount
ed to $19,771, and the per capita loss
was $500.
Forty-two deaths were reported to
the fire marshars office as a direct
result of fire, in connection with
nineteen of which gasoline or coal
oil was involved.
Reference is made in the report to
the increase In fire hazards resulting
from the In order to afford bet

investigates 1856 Fires.
In this connection Roe urges that
more diligence in the safeguarding of
property should be. exercised,
especially by owners and managers
of elevators and other storage places
of grain and foodstuffs. The report
calls attention to the fact that during
troublous times like these there are
persons who become unduly excited
or unbalanced and are inclined to do
things, especially in the way of set
ting fires, that in normal times they
would not do.
Fires of a suspicious origin to the
number Of 166 were investigated by
the fire marshal in 1917, which re-
suited in sixteen arrests and prose-
cutions. Five people were sentenced
to the ~penitentiary or reformatory, one
was given a jail sentence, n was
sent to the industrial school for boys,
one was paroled by the court after
conviction, one was sent to the hos
pital for the insane, two have made
confessions, whose cases are still
pending, and n person is still under
indictment.
Defective Fiues Often Cause.
In discussing the various causes OF
fires, Roe's report calls attention to
the fact that in 1917 more fires re-
suited from defective f1ues than from
any other one cause, the number
being 1904, involving a loss Of $685.
GIG. All these fires, the report adds,
are absolutely preventable, and the
fire marshal urges that every house
owner should make it a point to In

ffues at least once a year, before the
advent Of cold weather.
In his recommendations as to
legislation having for it's object a
