dent and many governors, October
3. the Anniversary of the Chicag"
conflagration of 1871. was set aside
as Fire Prevention Day.
Civic organizations throughout the

States the lesson Of fire prevention,
The local fire prevention week COM
mittee is heaoed by Charles w.
Darr and includes representative
Of all the leading local organiza-
tions.
Today's suggestions from the COM
mittee are as follows:
Before starting the fires for the
winter il is important that careful
attention be given to the chimneys
and flues. for il they are regIec,ed
the entire home may be re4uced to
few charred embers merely be-
cause Of such lack Of care. During
the five yea:s ending 1920 property
valued in excess Of $4,000. 900 was
destroyed annually as the result of
defective chimneys and flues. The
larger part of this loss could have

been made. SCOT cleaned out and the
necessary repairs made before the
fire was built in the fall.
Warn Against Oils.
oils and gasoline take their an
nual toll of destruction because
someone uses them carelessly or
ignorantly. Kerosene or gasoline
is a dangerous assistant when start
ing fire in the stove or furnace
Oily mops or rags often cause fire
from spontaneous con brstion. They
should therefo-e always be kept N
metal containers.
Electric liLhtine anG boating ap-
naratus should Ie carefully in

Electricity alone caused an average
of 7.oo0.O .OoO loss annually during
the five year period ending 1920.

THE value OF Tanlac as a fam
i lily medicine is again very
forcib'y demonstrated in the home
of Mrs. Josephine Deckret. 1919
Bank St., Baltimore. After put
ting this splendid tonic TO the
test with herself and three chill
dren. Mrs Deckret says:
"Tanlac has been such a great
blessing to myself and three chill
dren that It has won my lifelong
praise. My health had been so
wretched for two or three months
that / was just dragging around.
/ could neither eat nor sleep to DO
much good and had a world of
trouble with indigestion. I have
just finished my third bottle Of
Tanlac and am almost a we'll
woman already.
John Frank. aged six. and
Carolina, who is four, both COM
planned of headaches, pains in the
stomach and were very restless at
night. They had no appetite,
were thin and pale. and took no
interest in play or anything else
And Joseph Paul. two years
old. was in just about the same fix.
could not get him to eat, he wa.
fretful day and night, and was
very thin and pale. They have
taken about two bottles of Tanlac
each now, and healthier, happier
children could not be found. Jonn

as fat as a butterball and playful
as a kitten. 1 certainly have good

HOLDS VERA CRUZ
OIL TAX ILLEGAL

An important decision bearing upon
the interests of American oil men in
Mexico has just been rendered by
Alessio Robes. secretary of industry,
commerce and labor in the cabinet of
President Obregon. according to off,
cial advices received here yesterday
from Mexico City.
The decision holds that the state
tax of per cent upon all productions
Of petroleum IN Vera Cruz. levied by
the state legislature is Illegal and the
state authorities have been notified
that It must not be collected.
This piece Of legislation had con-
siderably worried oil and other inter-
ests in Mexico. as the right of the
state to tax. it was feared might
easily be extended to such a degree
as to become confiscatory.

STOCKS BETTER
Active Issues Gain, Fol-
lowing News From
Abroad.

NEW YORK, Oct News that
the British and Turkish comman-
ders had agreed to an armistice
meeting to be held tomorrow, and
that troop movements in the so
called neutral zone had been sus-
pended meanwhile. had a distinctly
favorable effect on today's markets.
The feeling was that the agreement
removed the threat of an incident
for the time being at least and
that the prospects of the military
leaders coming to terms are good.
IL the arm!sttee can be arranged a
peace conference is expected to fol-
low in due course.
Since traders in stocks had inter-
preted Saturdays news as bear
ish. the change of front brought ac-
tive short covering. particularly at
the start. Active issues gained a
point or two or even more, ard all
though business fell of as the d'y
wore on these gains were main
tained to the close.
Size of short Interest.
There Is considerable difference
OF opinion as to the size of the
short interest at the present time
Some maintain that 1t has maerially
Increased as a result OF the opera
tions of the past weeks while
others are inclined to believe that
while operations for the decline
have been heavy they have been
conducted with extreme caution by
large operators who understand
their business thoroughly. and who
have covered the majority of their
commitments on the breaks which
were of almost daily occurrence
last week. However. an accurate
Judge of market conditions whose
opportunities for gaining an in
sight into the realities of the situa-
tion are good expressed the opinion
this morning that the short interest
had been increased by at least 80
per cent. The demand for stock IN
the loan crowd on Saturday and the
extreme buoyancy of the opening
this morning appeared to be evil
dence that his opinion was in the
main correct. But the dullness Of
the market after the early dema d
for stocks had been satisfied seemed
TO Indicate that IL there existed a
substantial short interest it's MEM
hers had not yet become apprehen-
sive over their position. The trend
Of the market during the morning
seemed to show nevertheless that it
is nearly bare of considerable
number of issues and that much
stock has passed since the first of
september into the hands of those
who are able and willing to held
them for higher prices than prevail
at this time

Prayer and Strange "Incense." "

Passing the cigar shop at Four
teenth and G. streets northwest last
everfng. on my way home from
work. | noticed a man standing on
the pavement I'm the attitude of
prayer. His mustache was of the
sandy type: his head was quite bald;
his age. about As years. His bowed
head and his moving lips caught my
attention, and | paused at a respect
full distance from the man In one
hand he held his hat: the other hand
held a smoking tabacco pipe. As
he prayed the smoke from the burn
ing tobacco passed across his face
