Totals $5,763,083 in Five
Years; Largely Pre-
ventable.

During the FIVE years ending with
1920, fire losses in Idaho caused the
destruction of property valued at the
astonishing total of $5,763,083, accord
ing to figures made public today by
the National Board of Fire Under
writers, which compiled the statistics
from its actuarial bureaus records.
These figures reveal in startling way,
the price being paid by the state for
public ignorance and carelessness in
handling fire hazards.
The causes are classified under
three headings, of which twelve are
designated as strictly preventable"
with total of $2,050,467 or $500 of
the whole; nine are designated as
partly preventable," the aggregate
being $l,8l8,049 or 3l51o of the COM
plete loss, and in addition there are
those listed in the unknown" col
umn, which total $l,S94,s67 or 32.9%.
The unknown" losses may be con-
sidered as largely preventable since,
if determined, they would have been
distributed among the other causes.
In analyzing the figures, it is found
that while Exposure" whichmeans
the effect of communicated fires, was
Irresponsible for the heaviest loss, $751;
sSl, the principal specific cause of
fire was stoves, furnaces, boilers and
their pipes" with toll of $540,503.
Next in Importance, as causes of fire,
were defective chimneys and flues,
$445, o29, then ''matches-smoking,"
$37l,3l0, and then electricity" $780,
$40.
Idaho stands forty-hrst among all
of the states in the amount of loss by
fire and the figure quoted should be
increased by about $3.50 to cover loss
es not reported to the national board
of underwriters.
: The states losses during the five
years from 1916 to 1920 inclusive av-
eraged $1,l52,6l6 per annum. If the
total of $S,763,0S3 could have been
used instead of wasted, it would have
: built l,lS2 houses at $4,000 apiece
Sufficient to furnish homes for S.
700 people, or nearly the population
of Lewiston), or it would have built
: $40 miles of good macadam roads al
: $4,000 mile.
A study of such figures indicates
the need of public education in fire
i prevention. 1t should be realized
e that property destroyed by fire repre-,
e sents an utter and irretrievable loss
r to the people as whole, while the
inexcusable toll in human life and
e suffering can hardly be computed.

Bright Future; Recent

That the livestock industry of Ida
no is rapidly coming out of the dol
drums is the belief of Dean E. ]. Id
dings of the University of Idaho col
lege of agriculture who addressed the
Caldwell Kiwanis club Thursday at
luncheon. Prices in the past month
have taken a decided upward trend
and everywhere from northern to
southeastern Idaho, stockmen hold
the opinion that the depression period
is rapidly righting itself, according to
Dean Iddings, who reached Caldwell
after a trip over practically all of Ida
no.
| That southwestern Idaho in par
ticular offers a wonderful field for
feeding livestock and that this indus
try will be rapidly developed in the
next few years are among Dean Id.

future of the livestock industry ir
Idaho. Ordinary Idaho livestock i.

be prepared to eliminate, Dean lid

spreads. Any woman who can sew can make herself such spread with little effort and small cost.
 For a spread like Miss Wilson's take two widths of Quaker tuscan net, two yards in length. Gut one width in half and join the selvage to the selVage of the uncut width that you will use for the cover of the bed. Finish the edges of the spread with three inch fringe. Run two ribbons down each side of the spread. The outside ribbon should come just to the edge of the bed Run two more ribbons across the foot and over the head of the spread and finish with roses made of silk or ribbon. The loose ends of the ribbon are finished with tassels. The ribbon may match your lining >or be of a contrasting color. Two tone or shaded ribbon gives charming effect. The pillows are covered with Quaker sampler lace and edged with shirred ribbon to match that used in the spread.
 A clever woman can easily make net curtains to match the spread and a bureau scarf and lamp shade of sampler lace to match the decorative I illows-

 "Yes," was the complacent reply.

in a nearby town have a good name,
too. Sometimes he helped me with
my dishes and afterward took my
little sister and me for = ride.
Not long ago he went to live with
his parents out of town and about
two months ago he came to say
eoodby because he fas going to
California with his brother. He
kissed me and said he would come
back in two years and he would
look us up. He went because his
brother was unhealthy.

Unless you have tried this plan |

fore freezing and let it stand on
the ice to ripen; then add the
! cream whipped solid and you will
have fine grained and more vel

in any other way. When making
sherbets and ices try adding two
tablespoonfuls of whipped cream
and the stiffly whipped white of
one egg to every quart. The ex-
Dense is very slight and the taste
and appearance are improved IS
per cent. A teaspoonful of granu-
lated gelatine is also a good addi-
ton to each quart of the liquid, and
be sure that the mixture is sweet
enough. If too little sugar is used
the cream becomes lumpy and icy
and is anything but pleasant eat
ing.
| When making a crust for pies
with a soft filling. have the pastry
thicker than usual, also use less
shortening. This will make the
pastry hold to the pan better and
prevent it becoming soggy. Brush
ing over the under crust with the
white of an egg gives the same re-
suit.
When juicy fruit filling is em=
i ployed always dust in little flour
with the sugar. This thickens the

licious syrup.
