Dreamwold, its great house and

To Prevent Outbreak of Fire in Barre
Buildings.

In his fire prevention talk before
the pupils Of Spaulding high school,
yesterday, Chief John Heney OF the
Barre fire department emphasized the
necessity Of each family making a
check -upfof its home before the first
cold snap of the winter sets in and
the heating apparatus has TO be iraft-
ed into use. Chimneys are probably
full Of SCOT which should be removed
and perhaps the furnace pipe which
has been on duty for so long has some
dangerous holes in it, He asked that
the students take II upon themselves
to look over their cellars, sttics end
closets, clearing out the years accu-
mutation Of rubbish before fire
starts. and make report of any no
ticesble hazard to the fire department.
Speaking of the fire losses through
out the United States, Chief Heney
said: "The sum of fire loss has ia
creased eight-times since 1870 until to-
day Il amounts to s4s5. 200 .0oo. OF
which a great percentage IS due to
csreiessness. This Is an annual loss
of s4.47 per capita for every man.
"ofidu hffAl rAtlld IN Fut i1IHlll- Wutt-
in Europe the average loss Is only 25
cents per capita The reason fo- this
fact lies in the larger percentage of
wooden houses in the United States
and greater feeling Of thrift ON The
part Of the Europeans. Mr.. Heney
went on further 70 say that fire Laws
in this country win eventually fix the
personal responsibility for fires upon
the tenant as in France. where The
citizen Is made 70 pay for the fire de-
partment which saves his property
