SETS FIRE PREVENTION DAY
President Urges General Observance
by the Public on Saturday,
October 9.

ngton.-President Wilson, in a
proclamation, urged state governors to
set apart Saturday October 3, as fire
prevention day and to request a gen
eral observance by the public.
The need for bringing before the
people the serious and unhappy eff
fects of the present unnecessary fire
waste and the need Of their individual
and collective effort in conserving the
natural and created resources OF Amer
lea was said by the president in his
proclamation to be especially urgent
for the following reasons:
sThe destruction by fire in the
United States involves an annual loss
Of life of $4,000 men, wom2n and chill
dren and over $250,000,0 coo in buildings,
foodstuffs and other created resources.
"The need of the civilized world for
American products to replace the raw
ages of the great war is especially
great at this time.
"The present serious shortage OF
homes and business structures makes
the daily destruction of buildings by
fire an especially serious matter.
"a large percentage of the fires
causing the annual American fire
waste may be easily prevented by in
creased care and vigilance on the part
Of citizens"
