lis vented by two small holes If the
blow on the tire is sudden, as would
be the case If it ran into a road rut or
hit stone, the air comes into play
also. The holes are of size to permit
the air to escape slowly, thus sustain

needed. AS the compressed section re-
gains its normal shape fresh air is
drawn in, and thus the tire is venti-
lated and cooled In warmest weather.
Of Great Advantage.
One section of the tire might be
damaged without throwing the remain

a great advantage in military vehicles,
fire apparatus, funeral cars. Mr.. Wat

years ago. Since that time he has
been at work with mechanical en-

facture perfecting the design of the

thickness Of the wall might be accu-
rately figured out. He has now COM

MICHIGAN HAS
BIC FIRE Loss
IN FIVE YEARS S53,102,397 IN
PROPERTY. HAS BEEN DE
STROYED IN STATE.

During the five years ending with
1926, fire losses in Michigan caused
the destruction Of property valued at
the astonishing total of $50, 1897,
according to figures made public to-
day by the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters, which compiled the sta
tistics from its Actuarial Bureaus
records. These figures reveal, in a
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 strictly preventable' with
whole; nine are designated as partly
preventable," the aggregate being
22,251,T 7G or 4l.9cc of the complete
loss, and in addition there are those
listed in the unknown" column, which
total l1,9S2,735 or 22.6ft. The "un-
known" losses may be considered as
largely preventable since, if deter
mined, they would have been distrib-
uted among the other causes.
In Analysing the figures, it is found
that while Exposure" which means
the effect of communicated fires, was
responsible for the heaviest loss So
071,O9l, the principle specific cause
was ELECTRICITY with a toll of
S5,165, 504. This indicates how the
safest form of power and light Is
abused in Michigan as a result OF
carelessness. Next in Importance, as
cause Of fire, were Stoves, Furnaces
Boilers and Their Pipes" S4,226,5OO
then Spontaneous Combustion" 3d.
364,311, and then Notwithstanding
$3,224,754."
The losses during the five year.
were as follows
- IL
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1922-02-16


Michigan stands ninth among all Of
the states in the amount of loss by
fire and the figures quoted should be
increased by about 25f, to cover
losses not reported to the National
Board of Fire Underwriters.
The states losses during the five
years from 1916 to 1920 inclusive av-
eraged S10,G20,479 per annum. If the
total of 53,102,397 could have been
used instead of wasted, it would have
built 10,620 houses at $4,000 apiece
Sufficient to furnish homes for $1,000
people, or more than the population of
Kalamazoo and Houghton) or it
would have built 5,310 miles Of good
macadam roads at $4,000 a mile.
A study of such figures indicates
the need of public education in fire
prevention. 1t should be realized that
property destroyed by fire represents
an utter and iIretrievable loss to the
people as a whole, while the ineXcus-
able toll in human life and suffering
can hardly be computed

CANADA TO BATTLE

Mounted Police Stationed at

LEANIINGTON. ONT, June ia
detachment OF royal Canadian
mounted police was stationed at the
national park at Point Pelee. seven
miles from bennington, today. pre-

hundred Indians who have laid
claim to the park and thousands OF
acres of the best farming land in
this part of Canada. under treaty

in 17i9. The Dominion government.
refusing to recognize the Indians
claims, instructed the mounted police
to prevent any encroachment upon
the lands and to arrest the tribes
men as trespassers.
Led by Tecumseh Descendant.
At the head of the Indian 'inva-
sion" was Archie Dodge, member

tribe were the original settlers of
the Canadian shores of Lake Erie

when they scattered ID various parts
OF Ontario
Several years ago a movement was
started to reclaim the land of their
forefathers. but they encountered
government opposition. Heads of the
wandering bands held a pow-wow at
Alvinson last March, however. and
decided on a trek to Point Pelee.
Dodge and a small band were the
first to arrive yesterday. About 800
others are reported en- route.
In addition to the lands, Dodge
told the police officers in disclosing
the plans of the Indians, the govern
ment still owes the various tribes
$500 900 in treaty money. Payment
of this sum is to be demanded, he
said.
So far as the officers could learn.
the Indians came with no intention of
taking the lands by force and such a
course was disclaimed by Dodge.
