A Serious Fire Hazard

Careless smokers, toresters point out,
fire hazards in the country, because they
fail to take proper precautions with burn.
ing tobacco and matches. The prevent
able fire waste of all kinds from these
causes avera aes more than $4,000, 900 a
year, according to figures published by
the National Board OF Fire Underwriters.
The "tailor-made" cigarette is the prin-
cipal offender in the woods, where a
glowing ''snipe" thoughtlessy thrown
down on the forest floor may cost the
public thousands of dollars for fire fight
ing, to say nothing of the value of timber
destroyed, the desolation of scenic beauty
spots, and the harm done to waterflow
and wild life.
Repeated efforts have been made by the
Forest Service, the National Board OF
Fire Underwriters, and other organIZa-
tiOnS to enlist the cooperation OF tobacco
manufacturers ard packers in educating
smokers to be careful with burning to-
bacco. Some of these organizations hold
that since the haz ard of fire is inseparable
from the use of smoking tobacco, moral
obligation rests on manufacturers or pack
ers of tobacco to enclose fire warning
slips with their products. Resolutions
embodying this sentiment have been
passed by the National Convention of
Insurance Commissioners, the Fire Mar
shals' Association of North America. the
International Association of Fire Engl
neers, and the Railway Fire Protection
Association.
In Canada, tobacco manufacturers are

slips featuring care with fire in the home

companies and in cartridge packages by a
number of the leading small arms and
ammunition manufacturers of the United
States.

government has built at government

boats were finished October 1S Cthe

the two embryos were towed by the
completed boats to St Louis where
the former will be finished and put In
commission by spring.
The four boats, named Iowa, Mis-

uniform length of 265 feet, will each
tow two barges, which will be used
of course, entirely for freight. The
boats themselves are merely and liter
