UnnecessaryFire LoSsesAre Huge
In the United States
By BILL PRICE.

The educational campaign being conducted this week
by District civic organizations and the Fire Department to
awaken the public to the facts of fire disasters due pure
careessness ought to have the active support of every
thinking citizen Of Washington. FIRE PREVENTION
DAY. October g. is to be observed throughout the nation
upon the proclamation of the President.
If the work to be done should result in decreasing
losses in the United States by half the next few years
the saving fire insurance rates will be millions of dollars
Ito policy holders Beyond any doubt the high rates of
insurance mainly due to the regrettabe fact that
fire losses in this country twothrds larger than in
most European countries where the laws punish careless
mess.
The huge losses wholly unnecessary, and the pub
c pays the BILL not only in loss of lives and destruction
lo homes but in high premiums Chief WATSON, of the
fire department says that 80 per cent of all fires could be
prevented if prevention methods regularly observed
lby American people Lives lost annually $4,000 to
I200O0 so per cent of them sacrificed to somebody's
lthoughtless neglect There fire every minute the
leverage, in the United States.
The unclean cellar is the danger point everywhere
Is first cousin is grease in the kitchen accummula
ton of inflammabe rubbish in garrets store
These with the handy match box do the job.
Special exercises being held in the public schools
today, and the boys and girls who will follow
and will be impressed with facts they thought
of before But adult and in the homes should
keep before their families all times the fire dangers due
to thoughtlessness and neglect Make the education

The "fellaha," the woman water

water carts growing popular
through the demands of sanitary

resignation of Gilmour Dobie, in
order to go to Cornell, by the
selection of Bob Folwell, who has
just been relieved of a similar
position at the University of
Pennsylvania. The executive
committee of the Naval Athletic
Association has decided to offer
Folwell a contract. AS it is in
line with the terms practically
agreed upon while Folwell was
in Annapolis this week, there is
little doubt that the agreement
will be closed.
While in Annapolis Folwell

TWO MORE DAYS TO

BIG RUSH ON

With only two days more In
which to pay the quarterly install

rush is on at the Custom-house.
aud the Collector of Internal
Revenue and his deputies for this
district have their hands full. The
receipts now exceed $4,000. eco,
and more than half the estimated
number of persons who must pay
have filed their reports Thus Il
is apparent that the heavy tax
payers. that Is. the individuals
who pay large amounts are going
to wait until the very. last min
ute before they settle. The
amount in hand is less than one
fourth of what persons living in
this district are expected TO pay.
The big rush is still on at the
headquarters of the local deputies
in the postoflice building. Many
persons have been utterly unable
to grapple with the multitude of
perplexing questions. Hence the
deputies have been hesieged by
persons seeking assistance, and
not infrequent have been the
cases where persons have been
completed to wait more than three
hours for their turn.
