VIGILANCE AGAINST
FIRE CAUSES URGED
Every Community Suffers
From Losses, Even Though
insurance Is Paid.

"How much have you done this
week to lessen the possibility of fire
In your homer"
Charles w. Darr, chairman Of the
Commissioner fre prevention COM
.mittee, put this question to every
householder In the District on this.
the closing day Of the Campaign
against preventabls fires.
The pensioned fire horses on Mon
day heralded the opening of the cam
paign, and again will parade through
the city today as a last reminder to
citizens that an ounce of prevention
Is better than gallon Of water from
the fire hose.
Inspections Urged.
Heads Of households. who were busy
this week reading about the world
late to inspect their cellars, attics
and closets for possible sources of
fire. Mr.. Darr said this morning.
I'm fact" said the chairman of the
committee, "the actual period of fire
prevention week should mean the be-
ginning of constant vigil on the
part OF every business man and fam
lily head to keep away that destruc-
tive element-fire."
Have you ever stood in front of
burning building and heard this re-
mark In the crowd: "Oh, let it burn;
the insurance company will pay for
The fire-prevention committee to-
day gave out a statement to show
that even when the owner of de-
stroyed building is covered by insur-
ance the community indirectly feels
the loss.
Extract From Statement.
The statement follows. in part:
"The institution of insurance enables
the owner to replace the property de-
stroyed by transferring the risk to an
insurance company. but it is Il fallacy
to consider that the company is the
ultimate loser. The insurance COM
pany is really a distributing agency
through which the losses of the un-
fortunate few are carried by many
policy holders. When the fire losses
of an insurance company increase it
is necessary that the premium income
of the company be increased proper
tionately to pay the losses. The gem
eral fire loss. therefore. has a direct
effect upon the premiums paid by in
diVidualS and individual business Or
ganizations. whether they actually
sustain the loss or not AS il is natu-
raj for manufacturing and other bust
ness organizations to consider insur-
ance charges as part of the cost of
production these charges are passed
on to the ultimate consumer This
places an added burden on the citi-
zens Of the country, and since it is
reflected in the cost of everything
purchased it may be likened to a tax.
Further, when fire OCCURS the re-
suits of productive energy are lost
forever. BY means of insurance .the
owner is supplied with a rebuilding
fund. but the nation as a whole has
suffered the loss of value represented
by raw material and labor utilized in
the construction of the property de-
stroyed."

PRESIDENT MAY URGE
PREPARATIONS DELEGATE
Likely to Ask Senate at Next Meet.
ing of Advisabilty of U. S.
Joining Farley.

According to reliable White House
authorities, the administration will
likely suggest to the Senate, when it
meets again, the advisability of an
American representative on the rep
arations commission.
Although President Harding has
indicated that he is not ready at this
time to make known his views upon
this important matter. he has in
timated that he is deeply interested
in the rejuvenation of Europe and
that he favors this nations cooper
ating in any proper plan for inter-
national betterment that could be
worked out.
The President. it was explained,
was without authority in the matter
of American participation in repara-
tonS discussion or in any proposed
adjustment of the foreign debt
American representation on the COM
mission, it was said. was purely a
matter for the Senate, while Con-
Eress retained its authority over the
method of disposing of the foreign
debt questions.
President Harding was represented
as being deeply impressed with the
deliberations of the American Bank
ers Association in New York, but to
feel that the suggestion advanced
there for the appointment of Secre-
tary Hoover to the reparations COM
mission was not ripe for considera-
tion so far ahead of the convening
of the Senate.

SKATING DANGERS
PUT UP T0PARENFS
Authorities Say Use Of
Streets by Children Should
Be Forbidden.

The Commissioners have reached
safeguarding skaters on the streets

All three members of the board
were unanimous today in voicing the
belief that the mothers and fathers
Of skaters can reduce accidents to
a minimum if they take a deter
mined stand and see to it that their
charges keep off crowded thorough
fares when skating
The city heads considered the sug-
gestion that certain streets be roped
off for skating and concluded that
this would be saddling an unfair an
noyance on the residents of streets

Drastic Action Not Contemplated.

the part of the Commissioners to

proved the stand taken by Inspector
Headley of the traffic bureau against
the roping off of certain streets for
skating.
Mr.. Oyster Voices Views.
Commissioner Oyster, who super-
vises the police department, voiced
his views as follows:
Il feel that the problem of safe
the skater from injury is
one for parents to deal with.
II each mother and father will stop
to realize the danger children face
when they skate in the middle of the
street they cannot help recognizing
the responsibility resting upon them
of keeping their boys and girls where
they will be safe from traffic
1t is difficult enough for a young
boy or girl to cross the street in
safety with the thousands of auto
mobiles now in use in Washington.
much less attempt to remain for hours
IN the path of traffic on roller skates.
Too Much for Police.
NO matter how anxious the police
may be to safeguard children in the
streets, they cannot do as much as
a parent.
Il am convinced, therefore. that if
every mother and father will take
this question of street skating to
heart they will he able to do more
than the city authorities ever could
hope to do in saving the youth of the
city from injury and death"

Urge Soft Coal Use.
This means that no householder may

of anthracite coal he used last year. TO
keep his heating system IN operation
he must use substitute fuel, either BIZ
luminous coal, coke or some form OF
briquettes.
"Great assistance can he given to
those whose homes are heated by Ia
trobes. in which it is impracticable to
burn soft coal, and by hot-air furnaces.
where the use of soft coal is somewhat
difficult. if those who have hot water
or steam heated houses would use soft
coal. Soft coal is plentiful in the To-
cal market. the supply is coming in
quite regularly and the price is rela-
lively low-it should not exceed s12 de-

lump coal, which are about 81 a ton

ONE-MAN MOTOR BUSES
ARE ALSO CONDEMNED
James Spear Claims They're More
Dangerous Than one-Man
Tro11eys.
TO the Bditor Of The star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In connection with the present agi-
tation against the use of the so-called
"one-man cars" would like to in
quire why it is that one-man motor
busses do not come in for the same
condemnation. All the objections
which I have seen raised to the cars
would seem to me to apply with equal
objection that the busses are liable
to catch fire from gas engine back
fire, etc, in which event the fire would
be adjacent to passenger exit, and the
bus operator has an added duty or
responsibility In guiding his vehicle:
whereas the street car runs on hxed
rails. As to the specific objection that
in case of accident and In the ensuing
excitement passengers might not
think to utilize the emergency release
for the rear door. this applies also to
the busses, with the added objection
that the rear seat Casually occupied
by a passenger) must be moved. and
there are no rear steps.
AS a matter Of fact. fail to ap-'
preciate the so-called danger of one
man street cars. The control of tho
street car needs no attention from the
motorman while the car is standing
still, which is the only period during
which passengers are entering or
leaving. Conversely, the passengers
require no attention while tho car is
moving, tho motorman having only to
regard the stop signal, which he must
likewise do on tho two-man cars.
do not recall having seen reports
Of any moro accidents in tho use Of
one-man cars than tho two. and
understand that in some other cities
one-man cars are in regular use and
giving good satisfaction during slack
hours.
In any event, it seems to mo that
in all consistency, II the one-man
street car is to be condemned, the ono
man bus should be included, and per-
sonally 1 would prefer q one-man
street car to tho use Of the bus, espe-
cially since seeing one of them over
turned as the result Of collision.
