FIRE
PREVENTION

WAYS to reduce fire losses which ap-
peal to the common sense of all of us
were recommended by the National
Fire Protection Association at its an
nual convention held in Chicago.
On the question of damages for loss
resulting to innocent persons from
preventable fires it endorses a mere
general legal recognition Of the com
mon law principal of personal liability
for damage resulting from fires due
to carelessness or ordinances fixing
the cost of extinguishing preventable
fires upon citizens disregarding fire
prevention orders.
This is strictly in accord with the
law which allows damages to an inJur-
ed party resulting from anpttler's
carelessness in operating an automo-
bile, elevators, railroad train, steet car,
amusement park, mechanical equip
ment, etc. Then why not some red
ress against the person who is careless
with fire? The association also urged
municipalities to adopt the standard
building code in order that fire-resls-
tive construction may be encouraged:
Also that states adopt building and
fire protection requirements for
public and private hospitals, schools
asylums and the like, and that an Of.
ficial investigation into the causes OF
all fires be required.
Perhaps the wisest recommendation
all is that pleading for the education
of the children and the public general
Nv in careful habits regarding the use
Of fire.

JUST A
MERE FARM

Following the custom now in vogue
of naming farms, one farmer located
beside the Lincoln Highway near Clin.
ton, Iowa, has injected bit Of humol
and sarcasm in giving his homestead
a name. Standing on prominent
knoll by the road are two handsome
concrete dwellings, while to the real
are numerous well-constructed and
newly painted farm buildings. To one
side, and in arch effect, is located a
beautiful gold -lettered sign bearing
the information that the highly i'm
proved place is "Just A Mere Farm
Tourists passing this point on the
famous highway read the sign and
wonder if it is small farm or a vast
estate, while some no doubt consider
the wording of the sign as mild re-
buke to those who would belittle the
farmer or his farm.
Just mere farm" with two homes
that either of which would shame the
average city residence, farm buildings
costing several thousands of dollars
broad acres representing the value OF
many city blocks, and gold-lettered
sign that bespeaks prosperity. The
sign could have read, "Just mere
farmer a mere individual who lives
close to nature, and by some narrow.
minded people thought to be inferior
to those of the great city-the majority
of whom are small people in a big
town. Here and everywhere on farms
are big people, even though they are
not of the city or its ways. They live
and are Independent on "Just mere
farm"

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May Sine
air service must not be neglected II
this country is to be fully prepared
for military emergencies, Maj. Gen.
Mason M. Patrick, chief of the air
service, declared here last night in
an address at the Kansas City Club.
He asserted that air equipment is
the most important branch of mill
tary service and that, although the
United States now equals any other
nation in aerial armament, this is
small for the size of the country and
should be increased.
''The United States must never
again be unprepared in it's national
defense as it was in the late great
conflict" Maj. Gen. Patrick asserted.
There are $50 officers and $500
men now in the Army air service.
This personnel Is extremely small.
The air service cannot progress as 1T
might if it had more men and newer
equipment. What new equipment the
air service has is the best that can
be- obtained, but there is not enough
of 1t.
THE Army flying corps now holds
all the world records in: aviation.
These were achieved only to test the
Army equipment and to demonstrate
to the public what the air service
can really do"
