wit is delighting Paris. At meet

there was question as to what time
they would resume in the afternoon.
Signor Tittoni did not want it too
early, because he liked to have his
siesta early in the afternoon. Mr..
Lansing did not want it too late, for
he wanted to have his drive in the
Bots, and then his siesta before din

up. ''The meeting will be at three"
he said. ''Signor Tittoni can sleep
before it, Mr.. Lansing can sleep
after it, and Mr.. Balfour and ]
can sleep during it. ''-Manchester

NATIONAL ANTHEM PICTURED.

Teaching the national anthem by
means of pictures supplementing the
words is the idea Of a Philadelphia
man, and the method is explained in
the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
He has caused to be printed a
pamphlet, on four pages of which
are the words Of "The Star-Spangled
Banner" one verse to each page. Be-
sides each line is picture visualiz-
ing the idea expressed by the words.
These pictures are printed in red
ink, which gives patriotic color
scheme, as the words are in blue
and the paper of the pamphlet is
white.

When the nurse arrived at the bed

thing to his leg, which was in . cast.

Staggering Fire Losses

n oSSES by Are in the United States and Canada
during the calendar year 1918 reached the
enormous sum Of k3l7. 0i4.8s5. The CONNER.
rinl and Financial World says this Il the largest
amount for any one year IN the history Of the
country. with the exception Of 1905, the San Fran
cisco conhagraiion year, when the total was sA59,
10000 The Ere losses for the year were approx
mately fifty million dollass IN excess OF those Of
the preceding year. While this increase u very
large. Il Is 10 a very great extent due TO the higher
valncs prevailing. and fire underwriters believe
when the complete details Of isis's record are
available u win be found that the actual destruction
Of property, aside from war munitiou works, was
less than in the preceding year.
The forceful campaign for the reduction Of the
c~ountry's Are wasie which has been carried ON
with unremiuing energy since the war began by
the national board Of fire mndcrwriters. with the
cooperation Of the engineers and field staff Of its
members, has undoubtedly largely reduced the fire
losses from what they otherwise would have been,
This Is clearly Indicated In the reports Of losses 10
the companies throughout the year. Many under
writers have remarked the decided reduction IN the
number Of claims and reports Of fire losses, but that
the individual claims are for larger amounts. the
latter feature being practically wholly due 10 the
excessive high values now prevailing.
The average annual fire waste IN the United
States aud Canada has been somewhat increased
by the 1915 record. The aggregate IRE losses for
the past forty years. from 1879 10 1915. inclusive,
reach the vast total Of 90, 49,, 966, 045, showing an
average annual destruction Of property 10 the value
of sl69.074l5i. The national board Of IRE under
writers recently compiled an analysis Of the causes
Of fires during 1916 aud 1917 IN twenty states, with
the result that IL was demonstrated that Of the
fires in these states during 1916 about 80 per cent
were from preventshle or partly preventahle causes.
while in 1917 the percentage had been reduced 60
II per cent. However, should even the latter be
taken ~ y guide 10 the prcventable fires Of the

rious reflection on the general enclosures of the
