FIRE CHIEF WARNS
CARELESS PU BLIC
AB0U 7 SMOKING

Fire Chief Bailey issued compila-
tion of figures on matches, cigarets
and cigars Saturday which pointed
out the reasons why more precautions
should be taken in non-fireproof build
ings against smoking.
In the city Of Ardmore, it is estimat-
ed that 3s,2500OO matches are burned
every year; 6,36s, 400 cigarets smoked
every year; and approximately 1,1OO,-
900 cigars.
The fire department holds no griev.
lance against smokers. Chief Bailey ex-
plained. But a campaign should be
waged against careless smokers, he
said.
Careless throwing of lighted match
'es, and throwing Of lighted cigaret and
cigar stubs into rubbish piles have
caused more fires in the United States
fthan people realize" the chief said.
There is considerable loss OF life
as result Of fires caused in this man
.ner.
I'm one New York shirt waist fac
tory. 145 girls lost their lives as q
result OF cigaret being thrown into
'some cotton scraps on the floor"
The chief made tilt at the smoker
who snatches n smoke" in q place
of business where the same Is
prohibited. These men, when suddenly
confronted by one of the employers. US
ually throw the cigaret out the win
dow. or in the corner, or in fact any
where that the employer will not see
ut. Chief Bailey urged that employers
sec to 1t that their non-smoking rules
are enforced, or less make provisions
Tor smoking in q place where II Is not
dangerous.
1t was pointed out that the human
tnature part OF man will assert itself.
III he wants 10 smoke he will smoke.
j is wise TO make provisions for such
conditions.
In the compilation drawn up by
'Chief Bailey, it was shown that the
tnumber Of matches burned in the
United States in year aggregate 255,-
100000 900. while the number OF Gig.
'arets smoked On n year aggregate
"a? $4,000 900, and the cigars, 1911
t000 900.
w Ha't Httu Il HuHlOtr OF TRES IN
our own city from this cause" the
chief continued. "In fact, smokers
have been responsible for more fires
here than any other cause except i'm.
properly used electricity and electrical
appliances. 1t is n fact that the Amer
lean public is prone to take a chance.
II Is this trait that Is attributed for
the greater number of fires occurring
In this country than in any country
In Europe proportionate to population.
THE proper time to fight fire is
before II occurs. Fire Is community
proposition, and not a personal one.
The way to reduce the number Of fires
due to matches and lighted cigarets
and cigars is to make sure that they
are not disposed of in unsafe places"

Spirit Of RyoniS
lnSpiratiOnal; The
Members Plan MANY
Things For ArdmOre

THE spirit Of the RyOnis meeting
last Wednesday was marvellous to
me- said one who was present at
the meeting. 1T never dawned upon
me before just how useful a wO-
mans club can be-" continued the
speaker. 1T was truly revelation
when one woman rose and stated
that she had passed through the
fair grounds but had never stopped
her motor. that same woman this
year Is to be chairman of the wO-
mans activities. She will look after
rest room, also will strive to OBJ
tain many cOnveniences that the
women who attend the fair have
had to do without and when that
woman goes after things she gets
them"
The attendant at this meeting
was also impressed by what the
committee on shrubbery and flow
ers is doing. Ii will continue the
Rose Carnival as an institution OF
this city, it will appoint day when
shrubbery and flower seed will be
given away or exchanged In every
sentence of this member of the
RyOnis Club, she breathed a spirit
Of helpfulness to the women who
live outside Of Ardmore and every
effort Of the flower committee that
applies to Ardmore women applies
also in the same manner to women
outside Of ArdmOre and the flower
exchange will be used by all alike.
There were other reports made
by committees which show that the
women are thinking, that they are
planning and that they will have
everything in readiness for execu.
tiOn at the proper time and the
Chamber of Commerce and other
civic clubs Of this city will be as
proud Of Ryonis as Ryonis is proud
of them.

PROPOSE NORWICH FOR ONE
TROLLEY DIST. HEADQUARTERS

The trolley lines of Norwich and Vi
cinity it is expected will constitute CDe
of seven districts into which the Connac-
ticut Co.'S system in Connecticut s to
be divided in place of the dozen or so
divisions that have existed. This plan
has been submitted only tentatively ty
the public utilities commission 20 the
company, so has not been finally settled
vet. The proposed districts would cen
ter about Hartford. New Haven. Bridge
port Waterbury, Norwich, New London
and the isolated territory IN the Tor
rington- Winsted section.
According to Chairman Higgins Of the
! commission Il is planned that the com
munities surrounding the population
centers shall be included in the respec
tive districts. It Is the plan of the
commission to have separate accounts
kept in order that the commission may
be informed about the street railway
receipt
This plan Of the commission Is not IA
vored by the company as was declared
| by company's counsel at the hearing
in Bridgeport and by Judge Noyes,
speaking for the federal trustees, In his
letter to the commission when the com
mission when the commission suggested
| that the cent fare be tried in Bridge
port. Judge Noyes set forth the conten-
ton that the plan of the commission
would ruin che unity of the Connecticut
company's system.
The commission. according to Chair
man Higgins, believes that 1.-The maxi
mum 10 cent fare for short rides in pop
uIous centers is not at present the econ
onlic fare for such daily rides, and is
not producing as much revenue as a
lower fare with increased patronage
would produce"
That the income should be used fol-
the benefit of the districts and not fol
outside territory where the receipts are
low Is the belief Of the commission a.
expressed in its Bridgeport decision.
| Speculation relative to the divorcins
Of the Connecticut Co. from the contro
! Of the federal trustees as the reslrt o
the public utilities commissions decis
ion ordering a scent fare without trans
fers in Bridgeport beginning next Sun
day on the heels of similar order nov
in effect in Nor1 TX. came to the surface
this week. This speculation was furthe
heightened by the commissions decision
to break up the lines of the company in
to separate accounting units, as oppose
TO the policy of the trustees to maintai
the system as single unit.
: The trustees manage the Connectic,
2 company by virtue of an order of TIL
t federal court for the southern distric
of New York, which ordered them t.
