CARELESSVESS MUCH ID BLAME FOR FIRE
 LOSSES HERE. SAYS

That carelessness is responsible for 90 per cent of the fire losses in this city is the opinion expressed by Fire Chief William E. Simmons. Fire loss for the first three months of 1920 is S3,l15, and from July, 1919, to the fire in the St. Francis cafe April 27. the entire loss for the ten months was SS000. The loss at the St. Francis has not yet been ascertained officially, but
 is expected to be about s20.OOO.
 Causes for fires from July to Decem
 Der. which are typical of the average
 fire gwen by Chief Simmons. wero
 cigarettes, gas stove. incendiary oil stove, chimneys, lantern, gas and light
 eel matches. children with matches,
 hack fire, lime, wood stove, hot grease and other causes all more or less due
 to general carelessness.
 January went on record with ten
 fires, the loss amounting to S35, GOV
 cred by q total insurance of S5115,
 while February numbered 13 fires, with d loss of s2.2S0 and a total insurance of s1j5 6G0 March ended with ten fires during the month, the loss to property being $500, covered by an insurance of S22, 100.
 Twenty four false alarms were turned in for the first three months of the present year, and while seemingly great fun to the juvenile mind, proved expensive jokes for the taxpayers, as the cost in fuel for the operation or the fire engines each time the department is called out is very great Strenuous efforts have been made by the fire chief to discover the culprits in cases where the alarm is thought the work of some individual, boys being generally sus- pected. In order to detect such cases the Boy Scouts have been enrolled as inspectors, and from now on every nei shborhood will be watched for jokers rI,x iy, al al n fire engines turn out.
 In the work of building inspection by the firemen several cases have been found in ..loving picture theaters where the rear door or fire exit is kept closed to prevent the entry of small boys. The fire chief, in order to pitt end to this practice has called the matter to the n attcntion of the building department and submitted for approval an auto matic safety lock for fire exit doors which j. constructed so that while II cannot be opened from the outside yields to the slightest pressure from the inside and opens wide. This kind of lock has been installed in all modern school buildings in the United States and Canada, and il is expected that all movie houses in Phoenix will be re- quested to equip their exit doors with the locks, which arc safety devices Of the first hand and preventorS of loss of lives in cases of fire panics through being found either locked and no key obtainable. or opening after consider able time and trouble.

 CAVALRY IN PHOENIX

Steps toward the formation of a squadron of cavalry consisting of 2S0 men and 14 officers are being taken by Phoenix national guardsmen. a meet ing for the formation of Troop B being scheduled for tonight at the armory of Troop A.

Franklin K. Lane, formerly United States secretary of the interior. will have q foreward in the coming issue of Arizona Magazine. The foreword Is q prelude to the feature article on the League of the Southwest, and is a strong appeal to the southwest to rise and take what belongs to it.
 The foreword contains q prophecy of cities farms. mines, railroads, fac tories and economic development in Arizona and the southwest beyof 1 dreams. in so few years from now sat one appreciates 1t is pressing on our doors
 Milton Colvin. who is directing the Arizona Magazine, states: I con- slider Franklin K. Lane Americas greatest economist and her greatest man. Only the fact that he was born in Canada precludes him from the presidency. He was one of the first men in America to espouse the har- messing of the Colorado river and other Arizona and southwest projects now being talked of. It was because he thought he would be a greater power for these things out of the cabinet than in that is given as one reason for his resignation. His influence at present is one of the strongest forces behind the League of the Southwest !"

Esteemed Sir: l read your open letter in Fridays CameI's Back, in The Republican, in which you at tempt to criticize my method of featuring straw hats to our good citizens.
 First, let me say ! welcome your criticism and any constructive sUg- gestions, but from your comments fear you are not familiar with the haberdashery and clothing business, but [ will freely confess that you are some clever newspaper writer!
 Now there must be no misunder- standing between us-we should be good friends. Do you mean that when [ feature, for example, white canvas shoes, or white flannel trousers, or B. V. D.'s, you think that l should reproduce my picture in such particular line? Say, you must want to kep me busy.
 want you to know that l sppre- ciate the interest and time you have given in so freely giving me space in the valuable columns of CamePs Back, but my dear sir, l want to assure you that you are lonesome in your interpretation of my cut with that advertissmnt. As for my self. ! agree that it would be in- consistent if 1 were to run around personally with winter hat, while featuring straws, but of course ] do practice what ] preach.
 wish to reply and assure you of my desire to release the tension on your nerves-I have been using that self f-same cut in most all Of my reent reading ads. It is not intended, nor is if so interpreted by the average reader that this cut illustrates the argument given in each instance. That cut, as the pub- lie generally knows, IS to identify, or trademark, as 1t were, Hyder articles.
 Another point you raise, that | should boost and not knock. All will say is, that my past record speaks for itseIf-it stands on it's own merits-for that is one thing everyone knows | pride myself in. This is a duty of every citizen. It is not debatabIe, so it needs no further comment iron, me.
 NOW, assure you that 1t will be a pleasure for me to have you call at Hyder's, so | can personally present you a nifty tie, as token of my sppreciat on of the interest you display, and thus may 1 express to you my thanks and my gratitude for your friendly suggestion.
 will be willing to submit this argument, your letter and this re- ply to Hon. Billy Spear, editorial writer of The Arizona Republican, for his views as to who is riqht l or wrong, and FIi abide by his de- l eision.
 Tn closing let me say, This is a great old world" We are all hu- | man, and from an sdvertisina | standpoint it will be impossible for | me to be able to please all, but if | I can get all to read what I cay, at least accomplish what l am after.
 Yours truly,

Of the Phoenix White Sox in one of the most evenly contested baseball games ever staged in this city. Score. ' to 6.
 The locals were two runs to the bad when the last half of the goodnight frame started the visitors having piled up their advantage on good, clean hitting. Aided by rooters, the home boys staged q rally that netted them enough runs to win, punching hits with misplays by Phoenix infielders.
 The work of LyalI behind the plate and at bat was the outstanding fea- ture of the game. His home run drive with one on in the sixth gave the wis itors the lead and seemingly sewed the game up for the Phoenix team.
 Oviedo and Grassie were the oppos- ing moundsmen and both worked fir good fashion.

TOTAL ECLIPSE IF
 MOON |S SEEN BY
 PHOENIX RESIDENTS

Phoenix last night witnessed the first eclipse of the moon in the year 192O the last that will be seen here this year. The eclipse, which was total one, was one of two scheduled for this year, and the other one, next October, will not be visible in this country ex- cept possibly from parts of the Pacific coast.
 The early start of the eclipse yes- terday evening or rather late yester- day afternoon. was responsible TOT many Phoenicians missing it alto- gether. Others saw 1t without realiz- 7 ing it was an eclipse, and all in all, indications last night were that only a small proportion of the citys popu- lation took the gradual disappearance and reappearance of the moon for a genuine eclipse.
 Yesterdays eclipse began few minutes after o'clock, and it's start was invisible in the broad daylight. It ended at $40 o'clock last night. The total eclipse began at 6:15, when the moon was totally invisible behind the earth's shadow. which crossed directly across its face. By the time it became dark enough to see the moon and its obscuring shadow, however, the shadow had begun to lift, about 7:27. From that time until $40 the shadow gradually passed, and each minute saw the rim of the moon showing beneath it grow very slowly but steadily larger After o'clock the eclipse was more or less obscured by clouds.
 Yesterdays eclipse was visible to the United States, western Europe and Africa and eastren North and South America The second eclipse will take place October 27. but will be seen only from Australia and Asia. and the In dian and Pacific oceans. Two eclipses of the sun are also scheduled for this

SCHOOL SALARIES GIVEN INCREASE IN NEW SCHEDULE

Unless there is an unexpected high jump in the cost of living, the teach CTS of the Phoenix schools will be more prosperous at the end of the next school year than they are near the close of this one. The board of trus- tees lately arranged a salary schedule for the next year, containing an aver age increase of 30 per cent apove pres ent salaries. Provision is also made for further increases with length of service.
 Though the salary schedule does not contain as large figures as those which appear in the Bisbee schedule, the salaries are really better. The Bisbee schedule contained also the salaries of the high school teachers, while the Phoenix school district has nothing to do with the high school.
 Teachers are classified in employ ment as follows:
 Class l. Teachers of kindergartens
 Class 2. Teachers of first, second third, fourth and fifth grades.
 Class ,. Teachers of sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
 Class 1. Teachers of special subjects.
 Salaries of teachers will be paid in nine installments; salaries of princi- pals, in twelve.

PHOENIX DEPARTMENT IN CONTEST ID KEEP DOWN FIRE LOSSES

Strenuous efforts to keep down fire losses are being made by the Phoenix Fire department in an effort to win the Thomas H. Ince championship cup of fered under the auspices of the fire prevention bureau of the Pacific coast with headquarters in San Francisco The cup is offered for the municipality which in a given period will have the least number of fires and fire losses and every fireman in the Phoenix de- partment is pledged to do all in his power to bring the cup to Phoenix Fire chiefs in the cities of California Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Mon tana are after the cup, and it is ex- pected that with the firernen 50 deter mined to own the trophy that there will be decrease in fire losses.
 In the February report of fire losses in 1919 in 24 of the chief coast cities a total Of 1S.9S3 fire alarms is shown, said Fire Chief Simmons yesterday \ careful study of this report, said the chief, shows that an application Of the lessons it is designed to teach will go far towards the elimination of a large number of preventable fires
 It is to be noted. pointed out the Phoenix chief, that the report includes those fires only which called fire de- partments into service. Hundreds Of smaller fires occurred which were ex- tingu ished without turning in an alarm the aggregate property waste of which, however, reached considerable propor- tions
 The report says that it is a lament able fact that the number of false alarms is one of the prominent items Fire departments called out on false alarms are as fully in service as though responding to a true alarm, and to that extent are delayed in answering alarms where a real fire has started,

 It is shown that last year in the cities already mentioned 533 fires were caused by children with matches, and 250 by adults with matches. Unclean chimneys caused 1,435; defective chim- neys, 337; grass and brush, 3.279; sparks, 2,207: smokers, 939. All of this waste is unnecessary, said the chief. and can be eliminated.
