This average was fourteen times the
per capita loss of all the countries
of Europe combined. In addition,
he said. this loss was born by the
American people because even fire
insurance is passed on to them by
an invisible tax on the things they
buy.
James 8. Catlin, jr., of the Ma
tional Association Of Insurance
Agents, Endorsed Jennings state
ments.
1.-THE average American home is q
sure-enough firetrap," said Catlin.
1.-THE greatest menace is found either
in stuffed garrett or in waste kept
in the basement. The great loss Of
last year was occasioned by the tre-
mendous number of fires in homes
and forest fires ignited by human
carelessness. The people themselves
bear all these losses"
Some Of the chief causes Of "home
fires" were cited by Catlin as fol-
lows: Smokers falling asleep in bed
holding lighted cigarettes; amateur
electricians putting pennies in fuses
to make electrical connections, but
causing short circuits; mothers leav-
ing electric irons burning to answer
telephones, and women cleaning
gloves with gasoline.

prohibition enforcement authorities
today to plan new legislative meas
ureS for strengthening the United

further sanction from Congress for
extending the activities to such
vessels.
The Treasury Department will
ask Congress for greatly increased
sums with which to equip and
man new ships for special assign

ask for larger funds also for tie

Treasury engaged in detecting

The average American home is
Q deadly firetrap, taking an an
nuaI toll Of thousands Of lives
among women, children and in
valids.
National Drive Started.
Confronted by this menacing
oondition-fully proven by statistics
the United States Chamber Of
Commerce today launched a nation
wide campaign Of fire prevention.
Thirty national organizations, in
Guiding insurance. credit men and
fire underwriters associations and
public utility officials. win Co
operate in educating the general
American public to safeguard their
homes. Speakers will invade every
city to preach fire prevention.
Business interests, represented at
an organization conference here, eX-
pressed amazement at the tremen-
deus increase in fire losses during
recent years. It was pointed out
that the total of 1921 zoo, 900, lost
through fires in 1922, was the high
est in history. The amount exceed
cd the total fire losses even in the
years when Baltimore, Chicago and
San Francisco were partly de-
stroyed by fire.
Faced by even greater losses for
the current year. the national
codes enacted in every city through
out the country which will cliIni.

Fire prevention experts, at the
conference, declared today that 81
per cent Of the property losses and
81 per cent of the lives lost were
due to carelessness.
1857 Killed.
There were 14,617 persons killed
In fires and 1922 injured last year."
7. Alfred Fleming, director of con-
servation Of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, declared today.
LOT this number, statistics show that
80 per cent were mothers, school
children or invalids. Most Of them
were killed in their own homes.
1T, is an, appalling fact that the
greatest, number OF lives lost were
among dependent persons-ch children
or invalids. And most of the deaths
and injuries were due to careless,
ness. In one city this year, Kansas
City, there were sixty-seven homes
on fire in one day. In another,
Pittsburgh, there were nineteen chill
dren under four years Of age burned
10, dt4i Def re open fireplaces in
one month. The average American
home has little fire protection and

education in fire prevention can
alleviate this situation. The United
States Chamber Of Commerce, aided
by all interested agencies, will at.
tempt this work.
The national fire loss last year
was $4.75 per person, Fleming said.
