1t was declared by the Excelsior that

mittee OF the lower house, appointed
by the Liberal Constitutionalist party,
which forms majority of the Cham
Der, has submitted to President
Obregon a project for the Immediate
settlement of oil problems The com
mittee has asked the Chief Executive
to cooperate with the lower house in
this work.
The project contains six Fundamental
points upon which legislation relative
to oil might be built The President
has expressed the opinion that they
might be reduced to three, one Of
which would state that Article 81 was
not retroactive in its effect.
More than $50 protests against the
application of Article 81 will be taken
up by the Supreme Court here next
week. These have been filed with the
court since 1913 by petroleum COM

LUMBER STATES ARE
BREATHING MUCH

For months past the weston lum-
Der industry has been facing one of
the most critical periods in its his
tory due to geneeaI falling off in

and shipping costs. Production has
ben running but little better than 60

The past month however, has
shown an Improvement and for the
week ending April 9th. 1l9 mills re-
porting to the West Coast Lumber

This general improvement is not

According to Mr.. De'Espard. the
haps weeks. set aside each year for
the purpose Of educating the public
in fire prevention is economically very
valuable for the reason that the
cause of fires. generally speaking. is
within the control of the public
Methods of Adjustment.
In outlining the methods of adjust
ing claims for reimbursements Of fire
losses, Mr.. De'Espard stated that COM
petent adjusters who devote their en-
tire time and study to this subject are
employed by the insurance companies.
These adjusters arrive at the sound
value of property destroyed by con-
sultation with authorities on con-
struction and replacement costs and
in some instances call in expert ap-
praisers. In the matter of settling a
claim for loss. it was stated that the
moral hazard was considered to a
very large extent. At the conclusion
Of Mr.. De'Espard's lecture a set of
forms used in the work of adjusting
fire losses was distributed to the class
and their use explained by the lee
turer.
At the next meeting of this class,
which will be held Tuesday night. De-
cember 20. Jesse H. Hedges, local

stated. the loss from fire annually
averages one-fourth the value of the
average annual production Of new
buildings. The gross loss in this
country is greater than all of Eu-
rope combined. These figures, it was
whole field for the reason that they
are gathered from insurance statis-
tics and it has been estimated that
property to the extent Of 100000
900. not covered by insurance. was
destroyed in the United States and
Canada during the year 1920 by fire.
Another startling feature of this
needless economic waste. according to
an estimate for 1920 prepared by a
committee of the Fire Marshals' Asso-
citation of North America, is the ter
rife loss of human lives due to fires
which, it was stated, averages $4,000
persons per year for the ten years
preceding 1920.
From a careful study and analysis
of statistics the National Board of
Fire Insurance Underwriters has is
sued a statement concerning the
proposition of fires that could proper
ly be classed as preventable.
Payments Made on Losses.
From figures classified for the five
year period 1915-1919 the insurance
fire losses that are classed as pre-
ventable in the following amounts:
Matches and smoking. s73.500.0o0: de-
fective chimneys and fiues, $56.700,-
600; stoves, furnaces, boilers and their
pipes, s55,10O.OOO: sparks on roofs.
