The Columbia Specialized
Six
Specialization Brings Perfection
"A CAR is ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS CHASSIS"
Experienced Motorists who recognize Immediately the
remarkable value offered by the Columbia. invariably
ask: "How can such a car be produced at such a low
price?"
The answer is to be found in specialization.
The chassis of the Columbia Six is the combined
product of Americas leading builders of specialized
units - mammoth organizations which have chosen to
put all their tremendous financial and physical forces
into doing one thing expertly, rather than in doing
many things in a passable manner.
This plan leaves Columbia engineers free to
specialize on the an-important task of combining these
units into a powerful, smooth-running, dependable
chassis.
The Columbia Six is the result of eight years of ex-
perience in building specialized motor cars. This chassis
is the reason why Columbia holds a commanding lead
in definite, provable value.

HUGE SUM IS
LOST TO STATE
THROUGH FIRE
Nearly 20 Millions Go Up
in SmOke-iMuch
Needlessly

California suffered a fire loss OF
1885, 400 in 1921, according to fig
ures made public today by the Ma.
ftional Board Of Fire Underwriters
Besides the fact that this appalling
fire waste placed California fourth
among the states, it is significant
THAT the cause responsible for the
largest single share of this loss was
the item of spontaneous combus.
ton. which contributed the total
of 81, l,799,2 ,2s7.
To the total fire 1oss OF Sl9, 9,96S,-
$50, every man, woman and child
contributed an average of $3.50, al
though few probabiv realized it.
This is the third highest state per
capita. In 1918, the destruction
samounted to Sl0,49s,3 500, which in
sriicates the alarming increase in
three years of s9,470,l51. 1t is Gus
siomary, also, to add to theh total
s25 per cent for unreported and unin-
sured losses.
Analysis of the elaborate tabula-
tion published by the National
Board, from the compilations of its
actuarial bureau, establishes the
fact that, of the 20 so-called origin
ating causes, Matches, Smoking,
with s1,203,2ls, and petroleum
and its Products, with $65l SAG,
came second and third after "Spon-
taneous Combustion. Since two of
these causes of fire fell in the
"Strictly Preventable classified
ton, and the other in the Partly
Preventable, added support Is lent
to the contention of fire prevention
engineers that fully IS per cent of
the country's permanent fire de
strnction always is clearly prevent
able, because to that extent il is due
to public habits of carelessness and
to ignorance.
Turned to use instead of to smoke,
sueh a sum as California lost in 1921
would build no fewer than 90 mod
ern, fire-rcsistive school houses, at
an individual cost of 100000. Ap-
Piled, as much of it might have been
TO construction of good macadani
roads, to erection and maintenance
of hospitals or to any one of a score
of public works, this amount of
money would have served the two
fold purpose of improving condi-
tions and at the same time of low
ering taxes.
Furthermore, there were sundry
incidental losses, apart from the
main one, that should not be for
gotten. All of the property DESTROY
ed was automatically removed, at
least for time, from municipal tax
rells, which, of necessity, mean an
increased levy upon other property
holders. The heavy cost of extin-
gushing the many individual fires
that resulted in the sl9,96s, 400 to-
tai is one which must be reckoned
with, and this expense, too, was
borne by the public.
Regrettable beyond everything
else, however, and completely over
-shadowing the combined financial
burden, was the loss of life and the
injuries from fire which, III com
pany with the rest of the states,
California had to record. Indeed,
TO realize that at least three -fourths
of the life and property sacrifice
might, with care and knowledge,
have been avoided, and not to feel
strongly the urgency of public in
struetion in the prevention of fire,
is scarcely possible for any one who
has at heart his own best interests 6
and those of California.
