Berkeley ~Confagration

Fifty Of the finest residential
blocks in Berkeley were recently
wiped by ire. A forest Of chin
neys remain as a monument to the
cOnfagration.
Figures just compiled by the
Board Of Fire Underwriters OF the
Pacific show that the value Of the
insured property wholly or partially
mount OF insurance carried was
$4,3S7.13O.24. The amount OF loss
paid up to Nov. 2, totaled $3,64S,-
o76.69. Considerable property was
destroyed without any insurance
and the actual losses in this con-
Migration will reach the original
estimate Of over $4,000. 900.
The insurance carried was approx
imately only so per cent OF the
property value as nearly all dwelling
owners everywhere have overlooked
the increase In values during the
last few years and in most instances
are very much under-insured.
Tho Berkeley fire gives another
forceful illustration OF necessity OF
iire prevention and fire protection
measures in every city. These great
conflagration losses which occur
periodically In this nation help keep
the fire loss per capita at Disgrace
fully high figures. In fact the

Such losses. while paid by the in

Something for the
Car for Christmas

The one family possession which
every member Of the family enjoys
fs the car. It doesn't matter how
much the car is worth or how little,
II 1t runs and the family can all get
into it-everybody's happy.
But usually the car doesn't have
many OF the really necessary access
series on It,, and nobody feels salts
fed until the needed ~conveniences
are added. Dad usually thinks in
terms Of safety for the family, and
that brings him to suggest a bump
er, or a spotlight. Mother Is al
ways "froze to DEATH when she is
out riding so she demands a heater.
Sister knows that the car would
look much classier with a pair of
windshield wings, and besides she
goes out but what that darn
ed old wind" spoils her hair. Son
gives all his attention to the en-
CINE, sort Of appoints himself a
guard to see that everything runs
smoothly.
And now it is only a few days
til Christmas with every Garner In
the family facing the old question:
what shall l buy for Christmas?"
Have you noticed that the pro-
gressive garages and accessory
stores in town have their windows
and stores decorated for Christmas?
II you haven't done so, just drop in
to the nearest garage and surprise
yourself. You'll find a splendid dis
play for the car with each OF the
items paced in beautiful holly boxes
at prices you figured on paying for
something else. Bring mother down
too, she'll feel perfectly at home
shopping in a garage for everything
has been done to inspire the true
Yuletide spirit.
Here's just a partial list of
Christmas gifts which will either be
packed in Christmas boxes or wrap
ped up in holly paper.
Spotlights, radiator caps, motto
meters. heaters, windshield cleaners,
flashlights luggage carriers, bump
ers. windshield wings, auto robes,
auto jacks, bulbs in sets, spark
plugs in sets, ~wrenches.
II dad would get a bumper or a
spotlight and mother a heater or
robe. and sis a radiator cap with the
family Initial on it, and son a wind
shield cleaner or a f1ashlieht (and
not say a word about IT. wouldn't
1t be real fun on Christmas morn
ing to deck the old boat out in her
new Christmas presents?
And there are, always a few out
side folks whom you would like to
remember-the fellow who's been
hauling you to work in his a every
morning for example. Imagine how
grateful he'd feel II you handed him
a windshield cleaner all done up In
q beautiful Christmas box and told
him that every time he used 1t he
should think of you.
II you're puzzled about what to
give. and you're tired of giving the
same old things every year. call in
and ask your garage-man to show
you his display Of beautiful auto-
mobile Christmas presents. Some
thing for the a for Christmas"

Slavin has been trying his hand at

Dave Hirshfield is setting

Fletcher on Tuesday set new

couple of the sort of boobs who

The latest fashion Is that for a
wrestler to enter a hospital after
a bout and announce that he
strove so strenuously to win, that
he had to be slowed away for
repairs.
That is not a new fashion. 1t
